> “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.

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

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

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”

> 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

Yeah, LANDA in, can't have any of those 12 scrubs on board while Michael looks like he is stealing everyone's wives.
Guess I will stop fixating on SCARONI.

Yeah, looking through those 6ers (still got PLUIMERS too) and I'm not that jazzed about anyone and TARLING gives you at least one win, two if he gets there plus some stage GC points (probably).

Poel is tempting but I think we'll get a decathlon situation with astana where they're not really better than anyone this year just they peaked earlier to farm points

> MAL given 1 million euro fine for doping
how do these doping fines work, is it somehow mandated or are they allowed to not pay it if they aren't going to race again anyway. or can he just hide out in colombia

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.

In other news, I have started actively looking to for a job and boy I tell what a little lie or two in your resume does to HR hags.
Can't stop calling and giggling through the phone.

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!

If we did girls velogames seriously, tismbert would track the girls menstrual cycles. I'm surprised though that they still have them as pro athletes torturing their bodies.

> Prevost has faced criticism from advocates for clergy abuse survivors regarding his handling of sexual abuse allegations during his leadership in the Augustinian order and in Peru. The advocacy group SNAP (Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests) has alleged that Prevost failed to act against abuse claims involving Richard McGrath, a former president of Providence Catholic High School, allowing him to remain in his position despite longstanding accusations.
of course

To be on topic, after the previous discussion on Bertacek eating protein bars during a BIG ride, I went kinda overboard as usual and bought a lot of placebo shit
> some fruit bars
> some not so fruit bars
> some bars you're supposed to eat BEFORE
> some powder than you drink after ride that "helps" you regenerate
well at least it tastes good

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.

after some adjoosting, I've decided to go vismoid-free
this team has some guys who should score points, but I have absolute 0 trust that any of them will last more than 10 stages in this race

It's over. We are in for three grand tours of absolute UAE dominance this year. And my veloteam doesn't even  have a single UAE rider on it but it's too late to rebuild from scratch.
