Yeah, don't fixate on positions too much, these are worthless outside of official results on Velogames, but the gist is there are few more points to come, some will get 100 more, some 300 more but there will be no drastic changes and you can eyeball where to expect to find yourself in the final table and where to find your sworn, mortal enemies.

Well the GC "battle" of la Vuelta has come to an end, but that doesn't mean the end of /WORLD TOUR WINE/ (bier) !! The fall classics season is heating up, and we have a Canadian beer to celebrate the GP Cycliste de Quebec!

Today's beer has a fun memory for me. Many years ago, I was a first-year graduate student and took a weekend road trip with my roommates to Quebec. We stayed at a hostel in Quebec City which actually had this beer on tap in the common room. When I had my first glass after a long drive in my POS VW Golf, I thought the tap hadn't been cleaned properly and was full of soap. I had never tasted a beer of any style other than "Cheap American Macro Lager".

Unibroue Blanche de Chambly ($3)

Pours a pretty orange-honey with fine mousse. The nose has coriander and orange, and palate follows with some hop zest. Carbonation is strong and pleasant. This is just good, no flaws, easy to drink, pleasant, a bit of interest. I think my Belgian chien in the background sums up my response.

I think it's only a matter of getting adjusted. PCS definitely has some of its own bad quirks in the UI that you need to get used to.
PCS has livestats for a lot more races and I also feel like firstcycling is often slower when I go there (even when PCS is still up so it's not because of extra traffic). They are getting fairly even in usability though which is good so we have an alternative if one goes to complete shit.

no idea how much of this is personal due to adblock, but this is what firstcycling.com looks like. just abysmal, not to mention even when you scroll down most of the info is useless for day-to-day browsing [UCI rankings without exact points, latest results only including winner]. will never seriously be a competitor to PCS if they dont make it useful to someone who checks in on the sport more then twice a month

Their search is complete garbage ye. But also stuff like the little menu for races in the top changes depending on which page you are on. It requires some needless extra navigation and it must confuse new users.

Also firstcycling has a search function but it doesn't take you straight to the rider you have to select them from the search results.

Thats a good question, they have more weight on the front because of their position and usually the base bar should be low enough to be comparable to drops but I've seen some of them sit very upright so that doesn't help. Road looks a bit rough at times to be honest so maybe they have do dodge cracks

Nah, I've just had a nice rainy walk in the park, would be very uncomfy if I had nice weather all year round. What would I use all that expensive rain and winter gear for, where would be my gloomy mornings and evenings at 16:00.

In the park I've walked past two older guys along the way, thought I have heard English being spoken but they have stopped talking a bit before I came near and as I was passing them I think I have heard a faint "hello".
As a seasoned autist I have managed to hold in the instinctive head turn I was about to make. I would maybe respond "hello", then I would hear "how are you?" and all acoustic hell of small talk would break loose.

Imo cx skills are mostly keeping traction in the sections where you have to power through like crazy and keeping the power up there, grug also has 0 competition fitness wise in cx aside from wout and there is almost no climbing in cx either. Meanwhile the xc field at the top is obviously at his fitness because grug is actually not that great of a climber unless its sprinting up a short rampa and xc climbing is far longer. Pidcock has way better overall w/kg and he would probably drop them all.

Yeah his w/kg just isn't there. As far as I can see you also sort of have to sprint over things like route sections and the short steep bumps on the climbs so you don't just have a hard steady effort but rather a hard steady effort punctuated by even harder bursts, that's horrible if you're already working as hard as you can

Yep. Right now they have a GT team in Vuelta which finished second, a classics team in Montreal which is heavily favored, and another classics/young rider team in Italy which is cleaning up every race they enter.

It's a matter of money. They can vacuum up 80% of the talent in the peloton and then distribute them to every professional race on the calendar.
Meanwhile some teams cannot sign enough good riders to have a strong squad for a single race.

I think restricting the amount of .1 races a WT team can participate in is not a terrible idea.

it's usually a mix, but they never do like the Alpe or anything because it was just be a w/kg-fest rather than a tactical/team race which is what they try to make ZRL.

Plus they mix in scratch races in which you get points for either being one of first riders across the line of a segment (FAL) or points for being fastest thru the segment (FTS) so there's a lot of variety in racing

UCI does not want to take any risks. IOC banned Russia and UCI simply followed their recommendation. Being the first major sporting organisation to ban Israel is a big statement so it's easier for them to let the Vuelta be a mess. If nothing changes all Spanish races will be canceled and they might have to take a stance either for or against Israel but for now they can just say it's not their problem.

What a strange weekend of racing we have had! Today marks the end of the North American limb of the World Tour calendar and that means time for another /WORLD TOUR WINE/ (bier) !!

It's been a VERY busy day with family stuff and time to wind down with one of the better beers we've had this year! This is brewed in St. Jerome in the suburbs just outside Montreal. This is an Imperial Stout, which is a deeply alcoholic ale made of roasted malt. Apparently they were high-alcohol to keep them fresh during the journey from England (where they were brewed) to Russia (where they were favored by the czar's court).

Dieu du Ciel Peche Mortel ($9)

Pours a deep, opaque dark chocolate color with coffee-colored mousse. The nose is roasted malt, espresso, chocolate. The palate has a medium/heavy mouthfeel but firmly carbonated and the booze is hidden. Flavor is mocha and roasted, nutty bread. This is fantastic for such a big beer. It is balanced and very flavorful, no sharp edges at all. Great!

Yeah, so today was a nice reminder why it is nice to have a remote job and not interact with "humans". 
There was this gruggy guy in the gym, I usually see him on Saturdays if I go. Low-IQ face, tall, well built, a typical Polack of the type which left the country in 2001 for the greenhouses of the Netherlands and it became safe everywhere, overnight. He can't be older than 35 THOUGH, he is just the type.
Well this grug guy comes in reeking of some unisex flowery perfume, I can't stand even regular aisles in supermarkets where home chemicals and laundry stuff is, this almost made tear up.
But what the FUCK is this guy's thing, is he just a fag or did he read on some redpill site that chicks dig that or what.
Yes well it didn't take long before he started ripping protein farts. Jesus fucking Christ, the mix of these to fragrances was made me eyes glazed. And this guy is a walker (like me) so between sets he doesn't sit, or stand, or stretch or anything, he just walks so all his pret-a-porter was being distributed all over the gym almost uniformly.

And then I went to this bar where there are regular Polish cuisine meals, a lot of elderly people go there because they can buy a month's worth of dinners on a discount so they don't have to cook themselves plus they can go to this bar to hang around, almost a senior citizen daycare.
So I sit like 3 places from this gramps who has some kind of text-to-speech app on his phone and he is just doomscrolling through whatever, or doing 2025 equivalent of channel hopping on a TV via a remote. But this app is reading everything articles, ads, scams everything that has some text in it. 
I have heard about the newest AI doom incoming, I have heard the specs of Ka-52 and an Apache, I have heard that if you freeze a candle insert it will then burn much longer, I was only waiting for a penis enlargement ad or livejasmine.com

Thanks for reading my blogpost.

Now that the dust has settled on one of the most farcical GTs of the last quarter-century, it is time for our last /WORLD TOUR WINE/ entry of La Vuelta.

As attention payors remember, for the last stage I choose a bottle that is not limited by the route of the race, but rather emblematic of the country's winemaking history and tradition. Today's bottle is from the southern coast - Andalucia, where the bodgeas have been making a unique wine known internationally as Sherry for centuries.

Sherry is a generic term for a wide range of fortified wines, usually made from the Palamino grape. The two main types of Sherry are 1. fino, which ages in partially-filled barrels with a layer of yeast on the surface known as flor which protects it from oxygen, or 2. oloroso which ages without the protection of flor and undergoes substantial oxidation. Today's wine is a typical fino.

Equipo Navazos Fino En Rama Saca of February 2022 ($20 per 37.5 cL)

Pours a pale, transparent brown with medium plus body (just like me).The nose has walnuts, winter apple, and just a tinge of iodine. The palate is salty and savory, with a lovely nutty core and lively acidity. Alcohol is a bit stiff.

This is a lovely wine....Sherry definitely one of the great food wines of the planet, pairs so well with cheeses, meats, Eastern cuisine. It is not profound but it is a lovely drink. And with that, we say adios to La Vuelta and farewell to /wtw/ until almost mid-October.

Milk thisle, artichoke, turmeric extracts plus NAC (n-acetyl cysteine or whatever) and you can live.
That goes to Bertc and all other mild alcoholics of /cyc/.
There is a big next day difference when I get home after some booze, have a small meal and have a combo of these and when I don't and just go to sleep.
Of coursh you would need to unbooze completely and have a longer period of healthy food plus regular intake of these supplements to revert liver damage but it sure doesn't hurt having them along the way.

Just remembered that when I was younger I used to just get water and go to bed without a shower, reeking with cigarettes, bleh.

As a sports fan, when a big event ends, like a grand tour, the olympics, even a footy world cup, I usualy feel empty
After this La Vuelta, i don't feel anything at all, very unusual
Fortunately there's still /t&f/ champs going on right now

As a yungun it was all Eurosport broadcasted.
Now it is just cycling, sometimes F1, sometimes handegg, sometimes winter sports when it starts to get comfy being home and that's it.
Not even track and field anymore and that was a staple of kurwabert household.

There is this joke, a bit old, from state socialism era, but I guess still relevant.
Acquaintances talk about sports:
- I like Hungarian hockey.
- It's crap, how can you like it?
- I like the puck, I never see the puck when the Czechslovak and Soviet teams play.

its kinda all just road cycling, some mtb and cyclocross and sometimes track cycling but triathlon is too boring and bmx idk I've never seen anyone talk about that
road cycling is the main professional bike racing discipline and everything else is more or less niche
