> “What the fuck! How can the organization of a Grand Tour be so amateurish?”, asks Paris-Roubaix winner Pauline Ferrand-Prévot in a message on social media that has since been deleted. “Was the jury asleep when they had to check our bikes? We were there 20 minutes before the start, for the check, and two of our riders weren’t ready in time. We kept telling the jury to go, but it looked like they were just chilling.”

> Ferrand-Prévot also has no good words for the UCI jury members. “We put so much preparation and effort into it, for nothing. We are now losing so much time in the general classification. Hey UCI, you want a fair sport, but this is not the way to do it,” says the French leader of Visma | Lease a Bike.

> Uno-X rider Anouska Koster also spoke out about the situation. “We arrived late at the start because of one of the teams ahead of us. We got to the bike checkpoint a good 15 minutes early, but because another team arrived later, we had to wait and our checkpoint wasn’t ready in time,” she told ProCyclingUK. “We had no idea we were supposed to start because no one was telling us the time. So we weren’t in the grid yet, so we weren’t clipped in and there was no countdown. We ended up leaving ten seconds late.”

It is not final yet, only place where POELS is is wildcard.
But my team is not going to change much, probably downgrade to cheapest possible climber #2 and an upgrade to a 6er on wildcard.
You'd have to indeed not pick Roglić at all which is simply dumb. Of course there is also the tramadol factor so a non-zero chute probability.

Overall the inflation has gotten crazy and makes goombling far less enjoyable. Making all runners +10 being 2 points cheaper would be a very welcome nerf plus Rolgić should be 4 points cheaper.
Equal, constant values for everyone, much more fun, no superuberteams.

On the other hand this may be quite a good experience of being done with your team in mere minutes and then enjoying the race because there are no real uncertainties about your stupid team - everyone else has the same team and the few adventurous who don't will have to sweat it out. Those who hit jackpot, kudos, but I am enjoying the race so I can't be spastic about goombling ok thx bye.

There would be only pleasant little surprises when your shitter would get in a fuga or stay with G1 until final pas normals.

> Ullrich already has a possible candidate in mind. "I believe Florian Lipowitz can compete at the front of the Tour de France in the future," he says of the 24-year-old hopeful from Team Red Bull-Bora-hansgrohe. Lipowitz, who finished seventh at the Vuelta in Spain last year and also impressed this year with his second overall finish at Paris-Nice, is a "very strong rider" – "he can handle the pressure and has great potential."

how good will the sheikh be for the giro. he's had a terrible season so far but UAE are saying they will use him as secondary leader to john ayuso so assumably his power numbers arent washed. if he's in peak 2024 shape he could win here but nothing has indicated that so far.

if i was a lazy as fuck journo i would just write this every year. its probably true and people will print it. and if it literally has no basis in reality nothing bad to your credibility will happen because you can just say "the deal just fell through". this journalistic weaselry seems to in general not be present in cycling but its stupidly common for college handegg where "rumor" just means someone made it up.

polis blocking traffic probably should've given him a hint but All Things Considered he sees them almost immediately out of what looks like a blind corner and attempts evasive action. wouldn't be a moto in front either because its a race finish, if anyone's most at fault its the rozzers for not signalling and/or stopping the guy about to cross the street right in front of the sprinters. tbqh its hard for me to expect idiotproof  road control for a small ass junior race and ive certainly seen more oblivious pedestrians

yeah pcsbert slacking. kooij/benoot also basically confirmed and hard to see the likes of mas/matthews/lipowitz/etc moving teams. they really need a WT sprinter other than de kleijn but there are none on the market other than arguably bennett, probably will end up with lund andresen/thijssen/kanter and live with it.

last ride
i thought if i ignored it would go away, it didn't
it's just so annoying to properly align, you can do a stellar work, have a laser precision but it's until you actually sit on it and break for the first time that you can be sure you didn't fuck up
and once it rains, it just starts to rub anyway
we have to go back

it's impossible to buy a NEW rim brake here in our small market unless it's imported, i think even those decathlon bikes are gone and dead

back to disc brakes. You tried the trick of reseating the break calipers by loosening the bolts, then applying the breaklevers and tighten the bolts again?
I have cable accentuated hydraulic disc brakes on the Triban, so I can further adjust the distance between the calipers and disc rotor. I don't really have problems with the combo of prime wheels, juin tech semi-hydraulic brakes with semi-metallic sintered pads and the all metal 160mm shimano rotors without the fins.
But in the end riding in the rain makes disc breaks squeak.

Usualy it goes for me like this:
> 1. loose the bolts, apply break, tighten
> 2. rubs, then loose again and slowly re-align a little bit, tighten a little, no rub
> 3. tighten properly and suddenly it rubs again
> 4. realign and tighten superslowly
> 5. no rub, but once I put the bike upside down it rubs again
> 6. realign again and no rub but eventually starts to rub no an actual ride

> “I remember that I was on a high-altitude training camp in Sierra Nevada,” says Dumoulin in the interview in the spring issue of Chapeau. “We had to cook for ourselves there. A year earlier, we had already started with menus that were put together by a dietician. They calculated for us what we had to eat. Or actually what we burned in a day and what we then had to eat again. And that was poured into menus by the dietician”

> The caregiver who was on such a training camp then did the shopping. He got exactly the ingredients that were needed for that menu. “But damn it, one day there was an apple on the menu. But I wanted a kiwi. Then that caregiver was not allowed to get a kiwi in the supermarket. I said, what difference does it make whether it is an apple or a kiwi?”

> “That life in a straitjacket just wasn’t for me. I also asked too difficult questions. Based on the hours you’ve cycled and the average wattage, you can calculate how many kilocalories you’ve burned. Then you know exactly how much you need to eat. But, on a descent I don’t pedal and the wattage is therefore zero for a while. Am I not doing anything then? I am concentrating on steering. My heart rate is often above a hundred, because sometimes I have to sprint out of a bend. So my combustion continues but the dietician doesn’t include it in their calculations because my counter shows that I’ve pedaled 0 watts.”

> “That dietician couldn’t do anything with those kinds of difficult questions. And if you’re talking about total combustion. How does that dietician know whether I’m lying on the couch in the evening or walking the dog for an hour. That’s quite a difference in combustion.”

> López was found guilty of possession and use of the banned substance menotropin during the 2022 Giro d’Italia. The suspension means López will not be allowed to return to competition until July 24, 2027. Although López appealed the suspension – the Colombian claimed he was using the drug for fertility treatment – ​​the CAS ruled that the Colombian’s real intention was to boost his testosterone levels. One notable detail was swelling in López’s legs just before the Giro, which his doctor attributed to the use of menotropin.

> As a result of the suspension, all of López’s results after the 2022 Giro have been declared null and void until his provisional suspension in July 2023. This means, among other things, that Filippo Ganna will be the official winner of the 2023 Vuelta San Juan.

Dear President Trump,

I am writing to request federal support for the return of the TOUR DE TRUMP (1989-1990) pro cycling race.

Pro cycling in the United States has fallen off a cliff in the last few years. In 2012, Lance ARMSTRONG was targeted and blacklisted by the Obama-era FBI, being stripped of his record SEVEN (7) Tour de France titles. In 2020, the last two professional-level stage races in the United States were cancelled - the Tour of California and the Tour of Utah. In 2024, the Maryland Cycling Classic (the only professional-level single day race in the United States) was cancelled due to the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse.

America needs to return back to the TOP of bike racing, in the spirit of heroes such as Lance ARMSTRONG, Greg LEMOND, and Major TAYLOR. We need an internationally renowned, World Tour-level (the highest level of pro bike racing) stage race, perhaps in the mold of the Tour de France (21 stages throughout the country). We have the most beautiful cities in the world, the most beautiful coasts, the most beautiful deserts, and the most beautiful mountains for the World Tour peloton to race through. 

It is PATHETIC that countries such as the UAE, Denmark, Canada, China, and Belgium all have World Tour races, while the GREATEST NATION ON EARTH does not have a single race. We need to have a home race to inspire youngsters and return Americans to the TOP of the pro peloton.

Best personal regards,
Bert W. Bertison, PhD

If it's part of UCI rules he must have signed something when he became a professional rider. Then they can sue him if he doesn't pay since he would be breaching the contract.
That'd be my guess anyway. Don't know if you can hide from this kind of legal stuff in Colombia.

Yes, and consolidate those shorter stints in different /cyc/ office branches into one in one branch, stretch it a bit so your resume gaps are basically filled, mention ALL your responsibilities anyways and add one you can do but /cyc/ office never had the budget for the software package.
Wha-la, sir you have all the things we were looking for but we couldn't find!

why do I have some serious doubts about Primoz? Red Bull has been dogshit since Catalunya. For a team with their budget that's really disappointing. Red Bull is known in other sports to use their money very efficiently.
Primoz has unfinished business with the Tour and he doesn't seem to take the Giro too seriously, just smiling and saying that he didn't do any recon.
the only thing stopping UAE is the riders betraying each other without Elite being there as most trusted Gregario.
