Will be interesting to see what UCI does with that extra license. Tudor and Q36.5 are 10k points down from Uno-X and Cofidis so if it's simply handed out to the next team in the rankings it wont be those. But if it can be sold to the highest bidder because it's a special case separate from the relegation system then those mountain jew teams probably have the money for it.

Listen I know I said there was going to a /wtw/ surprise this week, but I have thought about it further. I had ordered a little collection of Spatburgunder for ADAC Cyclassics and it didn't arrive until today. I was going to post on one of the bottles (so essentially having two wines for the ADAC Cyclassics), but have decided against it. /wtw/ should be posted when appropriate, not willy-nilly. In this same vein, I also have some Czech "beer" which I will not be discussing any further, regardless of histrionics and protests.

Is this the race where the was that prologo on a narrow bike path next to a canal (i think ska went wide in one corner too) or was it a different belgian race

Shame, another good squaker career over before it began
Anyway how was your morning ride berts? For me it was some suprathreshold work. Just not my strong suit I guess, I have no problem doing 3-5min intervals at high watts but these 8-10min intervals just suck the life out of me. HR is fine, breathing is fine, but pushing the power just becomes increasingly difficult. Much prefer ftp and sweetspot over this stuff, bleh

> In his build-up and preparation towards the Vuelta a España Max Poole wasn’t reacting positively to training. Things worsened at the recent Tour de Pologne and he left the race on medical grounds to investigate the potential cause. The results of these investigations have concluded that Max is suffering from Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and he is therefore unable to train or race for the upcoming period.

If you get a Hamburg De Lie this is good, if you get a labile De Lie this is a 20 point hole.
I have decided to pay premium for non-labile Grug, as he is giving a shit every race this year. He is not going to skor on first two but I also don't think you're getting more than a total 100 from De Lie on these two.

On the other hand this pure goomble and with my luck Grug is not feeling right and De Lie is on fire.

Vingo in 2024 and Abrahamsen in 2025 proved this so its fact

> . I'm optimistic for the Vuelta, but we have to have feet right on the ground. I trained two and a half weeks without limitations [after the fall]... it’s little. Obviously, I have a season behind, but a stop of ten days, without training, without a bike, without doing anything. Of course the body resents. However, I am in a good, acceptable form, I feel good on the bike. I hope to grow, week after week. I think we can be optimistic, even if always with our feet based on the ground, as I have said, and focused on the important, which is in the race. And save me to the max.

> In order to, and here's the catch: "hopefully have a good winter." This is open to interpretation. Is Van Aert referring purely to his training schedule? Or is there a more extensive cyclocross program in the works? To be continued, no doubt.

Well we begin another mildly-anticipated .UWT race and today we begin in the Netherlands for this otherwise Flandrian Renewi Tour. This mean it's time for another sensational edition of /WORLD TOUR WINE/ (bier) !!

Today's bier is in firm Flandrian soil, brewed in Evergem just a few km south of Dutch border. It states the secondary fermentation is done with a wine yeast (no idea what benefit this provides....) so I guess that fits with our overall gimmick theme.

Gulden Draak Classic Tripel ($10)

Pours a gorgeous transparent auburn with cream mousse, long-lasting. Nose is yeasty with bread, light banana, funky fruit and clove. Palate is sweet malt and fruit, pleasant bitter hops, light spice, a little lingering sweetness to the finish. Carbonation really lifts the 10.5% alcohol.

Very surprised how much I liked this, did not expect much. Very good.

It's less of a production than wine. No decanting, no slurping. Just pop and pour. Give it a sniff or two, give it a few tastes and write what I think. 

To be honest, I use beer a lot to help teach wine tasting to people. Even casual beer drinkers can discuss difference between a lager, IPA, and Guinness.

It's not necessary, but it makes a big difference. For young big, bold, tannic wines, you can decant and get it to come together pretty quickly.

For old wines with a lot of sediment,  decanting helps separate it out so each glass isn't full of grit.

I drink a lot of Pinot Noir so it's not strictly necessary (I usually just open bottle and let it slowly open up over a few hours), but sometimes if I'm going to a tasting where I want it to be at it's best quickly, I will double decant which is pour bottle into decanter and then back into bottle.

They've gotten absolutely nothing out of signing him. Now they put him on the startlist just for the sake of doing it I assume.
He'll train through racing and then he has plenty of time training at home before he has to perform in February/March.

I decided to check in on our old friend who would average like 500W on Zwift races and just claim "big guys make big watts".

Obviously he fixed his setup at some point and his wattage (and results) dropped like a stone. Stopped uploading Youtube vids as soon as he realized it.

looking at GEE's strava he was doing 30/hr a week until the 3rd week of july and then suddenly stopped. he's been doing 10hr/wk since. last few weeks definitely not what you'd expect from a vuelta training camp and he's stayed in Andorra the whole time so assumably this has been boiling behind the scenes for a bit and they told him he's out a while ago

Was a surprising race for an unknown rider but he was still a breakaway merchant with no wins. Since then he consistently top 10s stage races including the Tour de France he rode in 2024.
If he could end his contract and sign a new one now he could get a way higher salary.

All this talk in public about not being happy with his contract at UAE seems risky to me.
If there is a team that can afford to have a top rider on the payroll without letting him ride anything surely it would be UAE. He shouldn't piss them off in case they get too petty and ruin his career.

He really should just ride and act like a good boy until he gets an actual good offer (or until he moves up again in the hierarchy by winning something big). He'll still get good race calendars even without going to the Tour. The only thing he seems to be missing atm is training with Sola which Almeida gets to.

More than whatever happened last year, I guess his main problem is actually how much he overlaps with Del Toro in stage racing, classics and age.
