> "I'm still amazed at how that race situation came about," Swings said, disappointed, after the Olympic mass start final. "It didn't even look like an attack. Bergsma didn't exactly get away with it. Jordan Stolz was in the lead at that moment, but decided not to join. He's a teammate of Bergsma's outside of the Olympics, of course. Perhaps that played a role. We'll never know, but it wouldn't be the first time this year. We had agreed with our team (Team IKO) beforehand that we would ride for our country, because the Games are under scrutiny. Perhaps other teams feel differently."

> The veteran could hardly contain his anger. "In the Netherlands, they might write that I'm a sore loser, but I'm usually not. It's just frustrating how that attack came about and that afterward, we, the Belgians, were the only country to skate behind the leaders. It's incomprehensible that the other countries didn't do anything. Giovannini skated cleanly for bronze, and he even took it. We skated for gold."

In other good news, I did a FTP test since the winter rape is pretty much over. My goal of 4W/kg was not quite reached but I did breach the 3.9 range.

Have you tried desensitization/allergy immunotherapy? My wife is a massive allergy kwab, big birch allergy that also makes her allergic to almost every single vegetable and fruit and berry and nut (especially when eaten raw). She did this therapy for three years and now can eat most greens even raw with no issues. Two pills each morning for three years, that was it. It's quite shocking how effective it was, now we're just hoping the effects will be permanent and not go away in a couple of years.

< Zonneveld questions Soler in doping case: "Why on earth do lactate tests with a suspended doctor?"

> In 2023, the father of UAE Team Emirates–XRG rider Marc Soler was caught arranging a meeting with suspended doctor Pepe Martí. Earlier this year, Soler’s father was sanctioned for that. There is no proof that Soler himself was involved, but the contact with a banned doping doctor does not look good. Dutch journalist Thijs Zonneveld discussed the situation again on In de Waaier.

> According to leaked police investigation files, Soler’s father reportedly had an appointment with Martí — the doctor who was banned due to the doping scandal linked to his time at US Postal. They were said to be waiting with lactate-testing equipment for a rider, and that rider was very likely Marc Soler. 

> “However, there is no definitive proof that Soler was involved in this meeting because, most likely, Martí and his father realised they were being watched. Soler would then have been informed to keep riding on, and it seems he slipped away,” Zonneveld said. 

yes its journo slop but I never even heard of this 'controversy' surrounding Soler

> Soler’s father — who claimed the lactate tests were for him — was handed an eighteen-month ban. Zonneveld finds that explanation hard to believe. “Of course not — that man was sitting in his car without any sports clothes on, waiting.” And in any case, he is no longer active as an athlete. “He’s 50-plus and sometimes does a veterans triathlon, but now he’s not even allowed to do that anymore,” Zonneveld laughed. 

> “Basically, it’s almost certain that Marc Soler worked with Martí — the question is whether it can also be proven,” Zonneveld added. The analyst is therefore suspicious of the Spaniard when it comes to possible doping use. “Why on earth would you work with a suspended doctor for lactate tests? That’s something so simple you can almost do it yourself.” 

> That Soler is linked to the story seems hard to dispute, but after three years it may be impossible for anti-doping authorities and Spanish justice to find definitive proof. “And that frustrates, among others, the Spanish police — they find it annoying that nothing can be done with it,” the Dutch analyst said.

It is a pretty funny story. Marco turning around all the time to avoid controls and later even the police lel
> At that moment, Marc Soler, fully dressed in UAE Team Emirates uniform, was spotted cycling in the opposite direction, passing through the checkpoint. His family's van was also spotted. Soler turned around and, seeing that the checkpoint was still there, turned around again. He repeated this three times. This clearly indicated that he had an appointment with his father, who in turn had an appointment with Martí. The officers allowed Soler Sr. and Martí to continue on their way, but the surveillance continued. The van caught up with Marc Soler and stopped a short distance further along the road, waiting for the Catalan professional cyclist. This eventually led to a physical confrontation between the three, as captured by the UCO with footage from the entire day. After a brief conversation, they each went their separate ways. Marc Soler was stopped by the Guardia Civil around 12:10 p.m., but not before the cyclist attempted to avoid arrest. The cyclist was identified by his ID and stated at the time that he had an appointment with his father to give him a blood glucose meter—not a backpack. He then began his return journey to his tax address in Andorra.

> UAE steps in to shield Pogacar after training incidents 
> The line between fandom and interference is getting thinner on the roads where the WorldTour trains. After incidents involving Jonas Vingegaard and Tadej Pogacar, UAE Team Emirates-XRG has begun using motorbikes in training to protect its riders. Speaking to AS, Joxean Fernández Matxin says it is becoming harder to keep training rides under control.

> Jaume Soler subsequently admitted that he had been trained by Pepe Martí, which in itself would have been a sanction for both of them due to a prohibited relationship—they were not officially granted one—and that he had never used doping substances. However, at the end of the Guardia Civil doping test in August, he decided to end their professional relationship. He also clearly denied that Martí was his son Marc's coach and that he had met him. Another inconsistency is that the reason for meeting his son Marc at the unusual location was to give him a "backpack and a gas cap," items that were never discovered during roadside checks on father and son. Marc Soler, in turn, refutes his father's version, and in turn, tells the Guardia Civil that the reason for the meeting with his father was to give him the black Salomon backpack—which is far too large to fit in his shirt pockets—and that the runner doesn't wear the backpack when he's stationed near the checkpoint in Adrall. Regarding the meeting between the three, Marc says his father told him it was Pepe Martí, but that he had no professional connection with him, although he knew Martí had trained his father. He also discovered that he was taking a test that day and that the performer was Jason Suter.
Marco's story has some slight inconsistencies but definitely nothing to see here hehe

Et je ne suis pas devin, mais je pense qu’il sera toujours difficile pour lui de monter au rythme de Pogacar, Vingegaard, Del Toro, Seixas et quelques autres", prévient notre consultant.

Ou est ce qu’il ne vaut pas mieux avoir une attitude à la Van der Poel, qui ne vise absolument pas une victoire sur le Tour, mais qui prend du plaisir en prenant le maillot jaune, en gagnant des classiques, etc ? Si Remco se tourne vers cela, avec en plus des courses d’une semaine avec beaucoup moins de haute montagne, il a devant lui une carrière extraordinaire", estime Gérard Bulens.

> Better late than never: Dylan Groenewegen finally takes third place in the Clásica de Almería... a week after the race. The Unibet Rose Rockets didn't miss their season start. Bas Tietema's cycling team has already achieved six podium finishes this season – including one victory for Dylan Groenewegen in the Clàssica Comunitat Valenciana – and can add a seventh on Tuesday. However, the race in which they achieved that third place was... held last week. On February 15, Groenewegen sprinted to fourth place in the Clásica de Almería. After a chaotic finale and bunch sprint, the Dutch sprinter had to concede to winner Biniam Girmay, Belgian Milan Fretin, and Italian Matteo Moschetti. These three men were subsequently allowed onto the podium. However, the Dutch cycling team – which races under a French license – had questions about the stage results. "Can someone please share the finish photo? I'm asking on behalf of a friend," the team wrote with a wink on its social media channels. On Tuesday – a good week later – the team made a striking announcement: "After re-examining the finish photo of the Clásica de Almería, we received the news that Dylan had actually finished 3rd instead of 4th, meaning a strong sprint still secured a podium finish!" The Dutchman wasn't able to effectively celebrate his third-place finish on the podium, but his team certainly had a good laugh. "Hey, Pinarello Q36.5, you haven't thrown those flowers away yet, have you?" they joked to Moschetti's team.

Not an expert on tires since I haven't used many different ones. I will be getting the conti Grand Prix TR that they released last year next, it's a lot thicker than the 5k and has excellent wet grip so that sounds durable and long lasting. I'm currently using gp 5k S TR on the road bike and those are terrible, they flat a lot so only get them if you ride good roads and only ride them tubeless.
One guy I know who rode outside most of this winter has pirelli p zero 4S and he hasn't flatted, I just rode my specialized pathfinder which are probably bulletproof against anything onroad but of course a lot slower than road tires. Since it was cold I not once felt the desire to go any faster

Also, I might paypig a new frame. My Look was riddled with its bad ovalized BB, so I sold it away during the winter. I came across a very nice Trek Emonda SLR which is an even lighter rim brake frame. I have no rational reason for buying it but it looks great and I can build it to 6-6.5kg easily and then use it for nice summer rides. I'll either use my Campag SR groupset for it or then sell it and buy a used Dura Ace R9100 instead.

Yeah probably so. I occasionally do 3 hitters but it's hard to see who in this field is really a "hitter" compared to Grug.

In other unrelated news I ordered the Trek Emonda SLR rim brake frame, was just too good a deal to pass. And I have also bought a lightly used Dura Ace 11s groupset. Let's see if I have the time to build up this beauty before I leave to Mallorca for the cycling holiday, the frame probably arrives here in three weeks so it's gonna be close.

I think Trek is in big financial trouble so could explain it. Either way, the one I bought is lightly used from Buycycle. 900e for one of the world's lightest rim brake framesets, didn't have to think twice this time. The only downside is the BB90 standard so I can't use Sram cranks, I was going to do Sram cranks + Shimano chainrings but alas, have to go the Chinesium route to get lightweight cranks.

Yeah mechanical dura ace, R9100. I couldn't find a full set either, but I bought an FD from one person, brakes + shifters/levers from one person, cassette, chainrings and two chains new, and I have messaged a guy about a rear derailleur. For the crank, I'm using Cybrei + their own spider paired with DA chainrings.

Dumped data to the db, Elon's artificial stupidity is pretty swell and cheap to use comparing to the flagships, don't need it to handle complex pipelines, but it called me a dunce basically (I knew a lot of stuff will be inconsistent and against good practices but this is a full roast).

I wanted to pick turner 
But then in remembered the only times he was good is in stage races. 
Never really seen him doing that good on cobbled classics, maybe in the Ardennes he’d be better. 
But why do the bookmaker give him at 41 and Watson a 201 is weird to me

I was going to add "with a great sprint considering how far over the mountains can he go" but it was overtalking it.
Short comms and no multi-threading is essential with normies Bert, otherwise they will just do a frogface at you.

> Van der Poel hesitated for a long time about confirming his participation, although he admitted in mid-January, after the Cyclocross World Cup in Benidorm, that the Omloop was on his mind. The decision wasn't made until earlier this week, after a week's holiday and a good build-up following the World Championships in Hulst. "You obviously don't lose your fitness in that short period, but it was still a bit disappointing. To be honest, it's an open race."

he's sandbagging again

I have vibecoded a fully functioning PCS rider history scrape in torty minutes, with just a few manual adjoostments, it cost me 50 vibecents out of my 1000 monthly allowance.
It's ogre.
Can't wait to overrely on sql queries and fall off the cliff in goombling performance.

Right now it's GPT-5.3
Claude 4.5 or 4.6 Opus is better but just slurps vibecoins.
Grok is nice but also expensive. The cheaper one is cheap but good only for simple boilerplate.
Tried some local run but 8GB GPU barely runs anything useful (the best is distilled Qwen 2.5 Coder, 7B params)

What model are you using bert
Been using codex and opus for video game dev lately, both are really amazing.

On another note PCS is literally the only reason i switched a a browser fully without ads on mobile (old one only had partial block )
It was UNBERABLE, this shit is FULL of ads and annoying mandatory watches, sometimes you be browsing the rider list and some random booking.com page opens.

Codex is great but eats through vibecoins at 8x, GPT 5.3 is not far off (haven't used it enough yet) and only has 2x use rate.
The scrape is not perfect, figuring out all the taga and again the boilerplate is a huge timesaver anyways.

How does it perform in gamedev? What language, how complicated stack? It works incredibly well in pure data engineering.

My current project is about refactoring a game from c++ to rust with a different engine ( bevy )

Codex is autistic, you have to really detail your prompt for it to get it right.
But once you precisely wrote what you wanted it to do its fast and usually works.

Opus is much more creative, you can give it fairly vague prompt and it will understand the meaning behind it, its not afraid to improvise when needed.

What i usually do is implant feature with one and then correct the bug with the other.
Surprisingly agents are good at correcting each other's mistake.
I have to try gemini 3.1 too, its included in copilot

I've meant Claude, wrote Codex. Yes, Claude being creative and just going ahead is the differentiating feature.
Same, me, with one going for the easy stuff but if I get stuck and don't feel like going through it it is a call to Claude.
I help Brtek's line go up and use Jetbrains AI Assistant which has Claude Agent, Codex, their native Junie (not bad at all) and like thirty different models.
