> Lennert Van Eetvelt finished ninth last year. He has a free role, but also a free mind? His contract expires after this season, and according to our information, the chance of an exit from Lotto-Intermarché is very high. According to our information, the 24-year-old Van Eetvelt is in advanced negotiations with three other teams, one of which is the Belgian team Soudal Quick-Step. Such talks with other teams often give riders wings, but for Van Eetvelt, it seems the opposite. From what we've heard, there has been recent unrest within his entourage, and he therefore seems nervous. On Thursday, he also canceled an interview at the last minute.
Hope you didn't pick this guy

Maybe Seixas can indeed reach the highs of Pogacar. He does seem to have the numbers after all.

But there's a very important question left to be asked and answered. And I think there's no better race to ask it than Strade. How large is Seixas' matchbox?

Keep in mind these people paid for my brother's wedding which was definitely more than $50k

Anyway, I believe in SEIXAS.

Well, last Saturday and today went exactly as expected.

Is MSR actually gonna be any different to last year? I somewhat doubt Ganna will be there again, but maybe someone else takes his guest spot.


















 >>/69210/
It could happen, but I really don't know how UAE will solve the Narváez and Wellens problem. I don't see who else they have that will be reliably in position at the start of the Cipressa and then be able to launch him. I guess it's Vermeersch and maybe Cosnefroy will have to rise to the occasion.

Years of trial and error in rebuilding foundations.
Human nature, morals, first principles, interpersonal and intergroup dynamics, politics.
And giving it at least a few months run after each update.
Two steps ahead, one back, one to the side, one step ahead, tree back.
Until it started clicking more resoundingly and more often.
And realizing in my mid-thirites that there was this moderate high functioning autism kicker that made me know and understand stuff very quick but being unable to integrate it without going through it, like a dog that needs to have its nose sticked in his shit to get it.
And booze. The hour of predrunk state and next day hangover clarity were instrumental in unlocking the port to core mind that otherwise needed this nose sticked in shit trial.

Now it feels a bit like in high school although you're very aware of your finitude but you have a whole life of experience behind you and still a pretty decent number of years to enjoy before it inevitably goes down.

In general a collapse of almost all sense of order and direction, understanding of what is going on and who you are, pure chaos in place of whatever the order was.

It is autistic and a crash because your sense of the world was all built on the same set of social rules and cues we are all subject to, barely even knowing it, but because you have the tism your sense of the world is built on non-existent foundations, and what goes on top of it is completely crooked - because you miss loads of subtleties, treat obvious empty gestures literally, you fixate on stuff completely natural for normies, you also can't just go with the flow because you have to play it out before you're not cringe (the nose in shit thing).

After a while (years) of trying to piece it together, masking, then fighting to keep it together you're pretty much done and burned out already but can't let go because there is literally nowhere else to go, only chaos. Then if favorable conditions occur, you just get rugpulled and you crash. For me it was losing my childhood boys because life happens, losing high school order and friends, arriving at a completely order and people at university, my girlfriend breaking up with me (had enough of her after 6 months but it lasted almost 2 years) and meeting my woman (this is a very long story that may find conclusion finally) which was the first time I have seen myself in a mirror, like it always should have been.

20 years of experiments later and wala, I am a real human now.

































> I had a really good day today. On Monte Santa Marie, I gave one of my best efforts and was able to continue with good legs. It's a pleasure to ride here. I think there's no better place to finish than in Siena."

> What's going through his mind during such a monster solo? "A lot, because my back started to hurt from the uphill effort. We were pushing high wattages on the gravel. I thought, 'I'm getting old, the young kids are chasing me.'

Backpain... Next year he's bulking and showing up at 70kg (and wins every monument)










> The collaboration with Pogacar went very well, according to Del Toro, who emphasized that he was never not focused on his own success. "He attacks a bit earlier, but often gives me a lot of freedom to race myself. I don't take those opportunities, to be honest, because I'm here to help him. I'm more than happy to do that. I enjoyed being able to control everything behind him."

looking at him crossing the line I think he just let seixas go
he doesn't give a shit lol
can't some other team offer him a monster contract
























> "The NSN Development Team deeply regrets Kiaan Watts' actions today during the Salverda Bouw Ster van Zwolle," the message begins. "The team expects its riders to conduct themselves in a sporting and professional manner at all times and would like to apologize to Marijn Maas, BEAT cc p/b Saxo, the race organizers, and the UCI commissaires."

> The team has also taken a measure. "The team has decided to withdraw Kiaan from the selection for the Dorpenomloop Rucphen tomorrow, so that he has time to reflect on his actions and the consequences."

Top kek dude punched someone. Maybe he said N

Don't think there is a specific language skill, it is a function of the general factor of intelligence "g" indeed, but it is more temperamental, if you're doing it or not.
I've been told I have a talent for this but I don't think it is a talent at all, just be curious and try to do stuff on your own, every retard can speak their language if they are immersed in it for long enough.
In general if there are multiple books written on a subject then a monkey could get it given enough time, be it English, linear algebra or quantum physics.















Why are there like 15 competent or not horrible sprinters if there is one sprint, maybe two if peloton doesn't drill it on stage tree?
That last climb is too close to meta anyways, there is one sprint stage surely.








> In his column in 'Het Nieuwsblad,' Patrick Lefevere also states that Seixas's contract was arranged in a cunning way. "We also had Seixas in mind, and he was definitely interested in joining Quick-Step; otherwise, you wouldn't drive from Grenoble to Wevelgem to talk..."

> Lefevere explains why Seixas couldn't sign with him at the time as follows. One of the problems was the legal uncertainty surrounding his contract with AG2R-Citroën. He had signed with them as a junior, but at that age (underage, ed.), a parent's signature is required on the contract. Their signature was missing, but there was a photo showing that his parents were present when he signed.

> AG2R-Citroën, the predecessor of Decathlon-CMA CGM, achieved its goal, but is that a sound foundation for a long-term partnership based on mutual trust?
> Seixas and his entourage reportedly put contractual talks with Decathlon-CMA CGM on hold until after the Ardennes Classics.

> Between the lines: it gives Laukka a month and a half to talk to other teams, and Team UAE is very interested. According to our information, the two parties are already flirting. Laukka has already had a French rider, Benoit Cosnefroy, at Team UAE since this season. The lines are open.

if this happens other teams should just revolt tbh



 >>/69594/
> Seixas still has a contract with Decathlon-CMA CGM that runs until the end of 2027, but that situation needs to be clarified. It's still the contract he signed when he turned pro. It's a good contract for a neo-pro, but in the current peloton, there are fifty riders earning more than Seixas. 

> Decathlon-CMA CGM has realized for over six months that they need to open up Seixas's contract and make significant improvements. "Seixas should already have a three million euro per year contract. He's definitely worth that," a team manager of a WorldTour team explains.

he'll need atleast pidcock numbers

> After the Omloop Het Nieuwsblad, photos surfaced of Capiot standing on the side of the road during the race with his damaged Giant Propel bike. The rear wheel rim appeared broken, with the spokes completely detached from the hub, while the tire had also come off the rim. This exposed the tubeless sealant and inner tube, Cyclingnews reports.

> After the race, the cycling website decided to contact Jayco AlUla, Capiot's team, for comment. According to the Australian team, the Belgian rider rode too long on a flat tire, which ultimately led to the wheel failing. Fortunately, the rider was unharmed in the incident and managed to finish the opening Flemish classic.

< "Not caused by rim design"
> Cadex, Jayco AlUla's wheel sponsor, felt compelled to issue a statement after the incident, explaining the cause of the wheel failure during the race. The statement aligns with the cycling team's explanation after the race. According to Cadex, Capiot hit a pothole at approximately 47 to 48 kilometers per hour, after which he continued riding over the cobblestones with a flat tire.

> "This caused the rim to crack. This structural rim failure led to spokes detaching from the hub, and the wheel subsequently collapsed. It was this structural failure that caused the tire to come off the rim. The tire's failure during this incident was not caused by the rim's hookless design," the Cadex statement reads.

 >>/69678/
> Cadex also stated that it fully supports the hookless rim technology and that the rim, even under extreme conditions, remained stable enough to prevent a crash.

> It urges cyclists who get a puncture to stop immediately and check the wheel for damage before continuing their ride.

> mfw I don't even have to ponder any of that crap and by the time I will buy a new frame (whenever they get a lot longer) it will all be fixed with solved standards
yup, sitting that one out but you guys go ahead and beta test all that for me



















> I don't think the route was very good today. I don't think it was worthy of a WorldTour race. Bad roads, constantly right and left, potholes. Especially the last descent, which we rode three times, wasn't good enough for a WorldTour race.

Guess who?


























 >>/69722/
Verstrynge would be a good 4 pointer is it was more climb less punch. He doesn't have punch for this route.

Meanwhile I adjusted 17 times in the last 3 hours, which means I can say "fuck almost picked him" on whoever takes points

As far as I understand, the handlebars themselves are legal. As in, you're allowed to ride with them as long as you follow the rules otherwise. It is however not legal to use them in the intended way and rest your arms on them. My guess is he either asked the wrong question or didn't understand the answer. Thought he was being smart but was actually dumb.

Change gears a lot. Go real slow up rampas. Keep an eye on power numbers. A bit weird way to ride and I don't always, but I kind of make a game out of it. I don't think there's any point to being this autistic about it honestly. Also try to keep my coasting time as low as possible (which does make a little sense in terms of getting more benefit for the time spent).

I think HR trace is so wildly individual it's not worth it to try and game it in some way. For me, easy endurance (bottom of z2, 190-200w) is usually 105-115, then mid-z2 (220-240W) is somewhere around 120-135, and high Z2 / LT1 (260-280W) is 135-150. But it varies so much depending on my training load and how fresh I am (the fresher, the higher the HR) that it's quite meaningless unless I look at longer term trends. The easy z2 is from today, felt quite fresh after a rest day yesterday. The mid-z2 is from a couple weeks back, quite fresh then as well. And then the LT1 one is from a couple days back after a harder threshold ride the day before. Power/HR varied between 1.71 (today) and 1.99 (LT1).































 >>/69804/
> A year ago, Ganna used the same time to lay the foundation for his second place in the general classification. Does he have the ambition to finish one step higher this year? Then he would be the first Italian Tirreno winner since Vincenzo Nibali in 2013.

> I think my fitness is a bit lower than a year ago," Ganna immediately quashes that hope. "Back then, I was strong in Tirreno, but I was a bit less fit in the Classics."

> "Now I'm trying to approach the Classics with slightly fresher legs. I'm focusing on the time trial first. After that, I have another week to ride myself to exhaustion without blowing up my engine."

> Ganna knows it can be a tightrope walk in Tirreno. "You're looking for extra percentage points here. Sometimes you find them, but sometimes you lose them."
