Norsk liars, I know this is the official weather protocol partner for /cyc/ office but they just don't deliver.
wxcharts.com as seen on pic rel deliver most of the time, the rainfall totals last perfectly fit the floods that happened.


> 🇪🇸 Vuelta a España may return to Canary Islands in 2026. Tenerife & Gran Canaria would both host 2 stages (=4) & trip could include ⛰ Teide & ⛰ Pico de las Nieves. If plans materialize, Vuelta would conclude with Canary Islands stages. Gran Salida will be in 🇲🇨. —ciclismoafondo

They finally listened to me.






> Interestingly enough, the price of the Colnago V4RS is frequently mentioned by Mexican media, but that is not the bike that Del Toro rides. For over a month now, Del Toro's Emirates team has had the new Colnago V5RS at its disposal. That is a bike with a hefty price tag: the recommended retail price of that bike is no less than €15,700.

> That price in itself is quite remarkable, but certainly when we compare it to the average annual salary in Mexico, which is 350,000 Mexican Pesos, or 15,981.80 euros. Del Toro's bike is therefore worth almost an average Mexican annual salary.

lol now they're going to start with this shit






























Yes well, these points will have to sustain me until FORTUNATO and PEDERSEN get some during the stages and some consolation points for winning their classements.
0 GC points will sting, I hope to remain at 18th GC spot THOUGH.

> Primoz Roglic had not had a great Giro d'Italia in terms of sport, but now it turns out that the circumstances were not good for the Slovenian rider of Red Bull-BORA-hansgrohe either. During a visit to the Giro, his wife Lora Roglic Klinc was robbed.

> The Slovenian told local media SIOL. "Our camper was broken into in the middle of the day. They smashed the window and stole a computer that was hidden in the bed, a mobile phone that Primoz had given me during the Olympic Games in Tokyo, money and two rings," said Klinc.

imagine you're some q36.5 min to low wage jobber racing your 2.1 and 1.1 races, jobbing it up in .Pro and low tier UWT as you do and without any pressure.
And then your massa gets delusion of grandeur, signs some punk for a salary thats higher than what the rest of the team earns combined and all of a sudden you have to ride grand tours and are expected to actually do shit (shit that you can't do since you're a PRT jobber), for no additional pay whatsoever.






































































































































































































































































































> “The plan was completely different from what we did today, so I will talk about that with the team,” Yates is visibly irritated. Visma | Lease a Bike made the race hard for a long time, but that apparently did not go to the leader's liking. “I will not say anything more about that.”

> Team manager Marc Reef thinks completely differently about that. “It went exactly as we agreed. We wanted to make the race hard where possible and I think the guys did a great job.”

stop thinking simon just get absorbed in the fucking data


























so I was thinking, if del stier doesn't lose time on the windows stage tomorrow and gets the blessing of the Pope on Sunday, then this Giro was decided not in the mountains but on the strade bianche stage. is it really alright that a grand tour gets decided on a gr*vel stage with the mechanical and chute lottery it involves?



 >>/13581/
That's just how GT's work, gravel or no gravel. Froome ultimately only won the 2015 Tour due to time gained on Quintana in crosswinds on stage 2. 
In this particular case, it's pretty lame how decisive that one stupid crash by Lucas Hamilton turned out to be: it ruined the race for Ayuso and Roglic and put Del Toro in pole position for the rest of the race. But them's the breaks, GT's are meant to test riders in different kinds of terrains and not just mountains.




 >>/13581/
you can minimize risk on dangerous sectors by riding at the front like pog does, yeah sure teams and gc runners hate gravel/cobble stages but they also test their luck constantly by staying far back drafting and then you're at the mercy of the runners ahead of you





 >>/13584/

Well said. Winning the GC means you have to be competent on all terrain.
I don't mind a cobble or a gravel stage to spice things up...I mean that gravel stage was one of the best races this whole season. 
But I can also understand why especially some gc teams hate diverse terrain.  Vingegard almost lost that one tour on the mini Rubaix stage.  Imagine the squeaking if that happened.




 >>/13588/
even vingo knows this, it's why they ride like demons at the front
you gotta eat the wind but some riders are allergic
remember rog's chute in the tour last year where he just got unlucky because some astana jobber hit road furniture? wouldn't happen if he was just latching on to the UAE & visma train





 >>/13598/
That's just UAE against anyone, these dudes come here with 2 GC leaders and a 3rd one has almost won the race.
+ they've had other non leaders like mcnully in the top 10 the entire race.
The only team capable of challenging was Bora but they lost hindley immediately, martinez is a fraud that is riding like a retard and pelli spent half the race pacing roglic back to the peleton.
Imagine if they slipped pelli into an early break in week 2


 >>/13597/
heh that rog chute was comical, can't find the webm for that right now but as far as I can remember he was just moving up the bunch when the domino show started
in as sense its satisfying to see slurpers punished like that. Pedal or chute the choice is yours gcboy




































































 >>/13671/
Felt fine. Did some max 20 minute at 309 the other day where my HR barely got up to 165 (max should be 180-185). I think I'm just lacking threshold effort but the usual gravel routes only have shorts 2-5 hard effort type of climbs.



















I find my position on the gravel bike so much better than on my road bike I'm thinking of just buying some road wheelset and do my road rides on it as well. As anyone done it as well? I guess nothing bad can happen

> "I'm gone. I'm dead", Isaac informed the team car over the radio, in a heart-wrenching concession that has gone around the world, as the challenger to the Pink jersey ground to a halt on the ascent of Colle delle Finestre.
> "I am no longer Isaac del Toro", the message continued: "I Isaa-can't. I am del Torobbed of my legs. My performance is del-eted. It is Torover.".
