he and trek need to scale back his expectations, treated him as a guy who could challenge pog in hill classics and he's just not that good [yet]. the tour is a terrible place for world class but not pog/mvdp level puncheurs, because if you cant beat them [and aren't a GC runner] you just end up with no wins and wasted potential. he should do giro + one-weeks, send himback to last year's schedule. 

the question is whether his ego will allow this, my opinion on his intelligence has soured over the past year. i think this struggle calls for another tatoo

The rider indicated in March that he wasn't reaching his usual level due to illness, but he hoped to restart his season with a training camp on the famous volcano Teide. However, his season was cut short in April, and Lazkano hasn't competed for his new employer since his appearance in Paris-Roubaix.

> This is a reason for the Spanish sports newspaper Marca to ask team manager Paxti Vila about his compatriot's unusually long absence, but the former rider does not want to comment due to 'team guidelines'. Lazkano himself, in turn, deleted his social media profiles and keeps his X-account private, Ciclo21 reports.

Yes. But the extra invites only happened for the first season after they were relegated so the two other years they have earned them like a normal team. UCI keeps increasing the number of mandatory invites for top ranked PRT level teams on their own though.

At least we had a winner today which is more than we got on stage 11. They can't really announce the backup finish before the race since it will get swarmed protestors too.

I saw Matteo Jorgenson at a grocery store in Boise the other day. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything.
He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?”
I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen energy gels in his hands without paying.
The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.
When she took one of the gels and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.

No, he still should end up around 20th that could be 2500 points behind the 1st easily, slenderman and treinman are bound together, they can even end up as low as fiddy because of their hopeless GC guys, that can be 4000 points less than the 1st easily, and then there are you with a slightly better GC but there is a long way before you catch the peloton from the lowest positions and even if you go up to like 55th you can still be 4500 points behind.
There is a realistic scenario when those two get pooped out of the back and have to find 2000 points to get back into G1 réel and find them soon.

Curiously enough the road bike TT at the Finnish road cup stage race just got shortened from 30km to 11.5km. Not even any protesters, but apparently many riders had been crying to the organizers that such a TT was too long, too hard, and the gaps would be too big. Well boohoo, that's the idea with TTs... But 11.5km is fine for me as well, though I would have liked to do a good long threshold effort. It's a stage race with a TT and a 130km road race, I'll be racing with the other finnbert.

But Veloman is clearly not an IT guy as he still puts in stuff by hand, he will notoriously mistake race categories, whole point category tables, he didn't even fix that annoying shit of needing to readjust your jersey every single time, out of a separate button, not definable when creating a team.

The following riders are part of the Biological Passport programme:

CLUB cucks are not subjected to this but they are subjected to normal doping tests in case they perform well I think

What a DISASTER of a week we've had in the Vuelta!! And it's almost been as much as a disaster for the /WORLD TOUR WINE/ offices!! We had some water damage to our floorboards requiring half our floors getting replaced. Due to incessant drilling and sawing, Bertina and I rode out the work at a local hotel so I missed a scheduled day of posting, but I have returned. You can even see the wood dust on my glass. But at least we have a GREAT wine!

Today's wine is from the 16th stage in the far NW of Spain (Galicia), home to one of the great appellations of the country - Rias Baixas, home to Albarino. This is  a delightful coastal white grape, fresh enough for summer patio drinking and serious enough for serving at a Michelin-starred restaurant.

Pazo Senorans Albarino 2023 ($32)

This pours a pale gold with medium body. The nose is fruity, with lime zest and green melon. There is a little lactic tang to the nose. The palate is medium bodied, a bit of oil, stone minerality leading to the fruit then a lingering, palate-tingling acidity. There is a bit of pleasing bitterness on the finish as well.

I love Albarino, it is one of my favorite and most accessible whites. This is very balanced, certainly fruit forward but with minerality, acidity, and some fat to it. Very nice. We'll get caught up on /wtw/ tomorrow with another SENSATIONAL bottle for this fraudulent race!

There are still lots of good inexpensive Chinesium brands, it's only their "legacy brands" like Winspace and Seka that are very expensive. You can still get far better wheels than any Western brand from Nextie for under 1000e, and brands like Tideace, XM Carbon Speed, Light Carbon, Long Teng, Velobuild etc. make solid frames. Then there's the slightly more expensive frames like Quick Pro and Evolve that have ~2000e frames (still much cheaper than Western brands).

I paid around 1000€ for my lightbicycle carbon wheels although you could go a bit cheaper if you pick the cheapest hub option, I think elite wheels have a set for around 700€ with shipping and there are a few other brands that have some old stuff for 500-700ish but there is not much rim brake stuff left in general
don't think there will be anything on offer in a year or two, it just doesn't sell it so they are pulling offerings one by one and don't put out anything new

yeah but those are all very old designs because they have like 26/27mm external and 19mm internal width so they are for 25mm tires and heavy. You can find a host of old rims like that for cheap on the ali but I wouldn't even bother with those because you're not gaining performance with that.
Just fyi my rims are 30mm at their widest so I can at least ride 28s with those, not great but the best you can get with r*m brakes what can you do 😔

Some of the old records are Pantani and Riis level gigadoped and no one cares. El-Guerrouj in 1500m (not broken today even after the jumps in shoe technology, training etc), Koch in women's 400m, Kratochvílová in 800m, Sedykh in hammer throw, Bolt's 100m and so on. I don't care, I love athletics either way.

Yup, those are bad aswell. Not only because of the PEDs but because of the confirmed wind cheating.

Roman Sebrle and Jan Zelezny were clean, in fact Jan is one of my all time favourites (even if he is known here for ruining the finns' day every single time)

Ladies and gentlemen, we have a VERY special edition of /WORLD TOUR WINE/ to present, because I am actually posting during a .UWT race! Although the action in Quebec in heating up, we are going to rewind to yesterday's FRADULENT time trial in Spain!

Today's wine comes from Ribera del Duero, the wine region running along the Duero (or Douro) River from yesterday's stage in Valladolid to the east. Ribera del Duero was a sleepy little wine region for decades, basically only known as the home of Vega Sicilia since the mid-19th century. In the 1970s and 1980s, a new generation of winemakers started producing red wines of remarkable quality, culminating with the first vintage of Pingus in 1995 (a legendary cult wine made by a D*nish immigrant to the region). Today's wine is a rare bird indeed, a white Ribera del Duero. Interestingly, whites could not even be labeled as being from the region until 2019.

Dominio del Aguila Albillo Vinas Viejas 2020 ($200)

Pours a medium-bodied pale gold. I fell in love with my first sniff. The nose is reductive, with honey, gunflint, perfumed white flower, ripe sweet lemon with a beautiful bracing of vanilla/oak. The palate is vibrant, with candied lemon peel, wonderful white stone minerality, and roiling acidity. The finish is long. The wine is complex and profound.

This wine is stunning. Stunning. If tasted blind, I would call this a young GC Burgundy. Wine of the year so far. Holy hell.
