LT1 after a hard day is one of my favourite workouts each week, the first 20min is tough with tired legs but after that it just feels nicer and nicer. Shame I don't have more time than just the daughter's nap for this, would be great to do 3-4h


reminder that Nizza is rightfully Italian clay.

> It's important to do a stage. It's one of the biggest races in the world. They want a stage. It could be done differently. We could have stopped earlier. It was slippery and there were some crashes. It wouldn't have been a problem to stop 10 km earlier.

Fuck this guy tbh


















































Uncanny Mr Incredible for me Snizza and Tirreno goombling.
Néanmoins, due to my deep connection to the people of Ireland (none) my coach begrudgingly allowed me to have a cheat day on St. Padraig's day but transfer it onto today so I don't drink during the week.
I shall post the usual smol oirish pisswhatr plus an intersting single pot I have just paypigged for.

On a serious note.
My friend who I ride with (of schnitzelride fame) bought a shiny new bike two weeks ago. Di2 Ultegra, aero cockpit, everything, really pretty.
I randomly met him today when I was returning home, parked at the side of the road. I had assumed he had pinchazo'd again (since he doesn't carry spare). So I stopped to laugh at him. 
He turned around, his face bloodied, missing half a teeth, looking shellshocked. Turns out he chuted brutale on a flat road, probably a missed pothole or something. No idea how, fell down face first, broke his cockpit, his teeth. The rest of the bike looks ok I guess.
What a fucking unfortunate turn of fortune.





integrated carbon cockpits kinda scare me, I was on the verge of buying one for my grabble bike but ultimately canceled the order because I saw Nys' one crack in half during some cx race from a really light chute



 >>/71108/
From my experience as long as you don't buy lightweight carbon bars they are sturdy enough. One guy here had whatever comes with sworks sl8 and that one indeed cracked on a 30 kph tumble but my bars didn't crack from my crash (2 piece cockpit with bikedoc handlebars) and I have a mate who's crashed the cockpit that came with his china frame (probably 50-70€ on aliX at most) 3 times at 45-55 kph in races and it's still alive and kicking.
I think when it comes to carbon in general it's all a lot more sturdy than it seems until you purchase highend lightweight components.








 >>/71118/
how does that play out, pog and grug go and g2 closes them down on/after the descent and it becomes a mass sprint? I just assume that pog and grug will be so far ahead that even a cooperating g2 will not close them down




 >>/71119/
The trick would be to agree with 3-4 teams to keep 3 guys each riding the cipressa at reasonable threshold and then you have 10guys doing a TT between cipressa and pogio. I wonder what type of gap you could bring back like this




I got into G2 in a Zwift race with one dude soloing way up ahead and peloton as far back as 30 seconds before we all got G2 syndrome. We were then caught and embarrassed on the final climb.

> “C’était une étape de merde. Je trouve que ce n’est pas terrible de faire ça…”, pestait-il derrière la ligne d’arrivée au micro de DirectVelo. Le sprinteur de la Visma-Lease a bike explique qu’il était “plutôt de l’avis de faire l’étape”. La pluie intense qui est tombée sur la Promenade des Anglais, à Nice, en fin de matinée, n’avait pas freiné les ardeurs d’Axel Zingle. “Il ne fallait peut-être pas monter jusqu’en haut mais… C’est vrai que là, quand on voit le décor, on a l’impression que c’était des conditions très difficiles mais bon, on a des gants, on a tout ce qu’il faut…”, reprend celui qui souhaitait prendre le départ à midi, comme prévu, à Nice. 

> C’est du vélo, c’est un sport en extérieur. Je trouve que les coureurs ont tendance à se monter un peu trop la tête entre eux quand ils voient qu’il pleut le matin, c’est un peu dommage”, critique-t-il en évoquant la volonté de certains de raccourcir l’étape, alors qu’il a même un temps été question d’annulation totale. “On était à 50-50 à un moment donné”, concédait ainsi le directeur de course Yannick Talabardon à notre micro lors de la cérémonie protocolaire. “La sécurité prime évidemment, mais moi personnellement ce ne sont pas des conditions qui m’effraient. Je trouve qu’il faut aussi savoir faire preuve de résilience quand c’est difficile”.

> You wouldn't say so based on his performance in the Italian tour, but the 22-year-old Red Bull-BORA-hansgrohe rider is currently riding with an injury to one of his tendons. “If we hadn't ridden on my home roads today (Saturday), I probably would have already dropped out of the race,” he says.

some of you got very lucky with your goomble

> After Tirreno-Adriatico, the 36-year-old Grand Tour rider will focus on the Tour of the Basque Country (April 6-11), a race he has already won twice in his successful career. Subsequently, Roglic will set his sights on another WorldTour stage race to which he has fond memories: the Tour of Romandie (April 28-May 3). 
> Following the Tour of Romandie, a long period without racing awaits leading up to his main goal for 2026: the Vuelta a España.

how much are they paying him for this

Doing some spring waxxing. First up, three perfectly clean new chains. Three baths in mineral spirits plus two baths in denatured alcohol, so clean I could eat off these. Now heating up the wax solution.





 >>/71177/
Just once when I buy new chains, after that it's just re-wax every 300-500km or so. I had two chains last season that I rotated, but they have become pretty grimy over the shitty weather season so I will clean the two again for next winter and use these three for fairer weather. Having that rotation is very nice, basically you just change your chain every week, then wax them all at the same time when they're all used up.

> Whether Van Aert manages to sprint on Sunday or not, he is satisfied with his week. “I am happy with how I feel,” says Van Aert. “I wanted to make it a tough race either on Friday or today. I didn't have the legs for that on Friday, but I did today. I felt good and was able to keep going for a long time. I’ve had a nice week. My ankle isn't top-notch yet, but it's good enough, and I’ve gained the necessary toughness. A win or a higher runner-up position would have been nicer, but I give my week a score of eight out of ten,” says Van Aert.
A week full of humiliation rituals? 8/10 according to W*ut

> When Matteo Jorgenson arrives at the Visma Lease a Bike team bus fifteen minutes after the end of the queen stage, he is literally grabbed by the scruff of the neck by Javier Romo of Movistar. The Spaniard is apparently furious about a race maneuver by the American and comes to confront him using threatening language. His team manager Max Sciandri has to intervene and prevents Romo from using physical violence in addition to verbal. As Jorgenson steps onto the bus, he calls after Romo in a taunting tone: “Adios.”
More Vismoids who make themselves popular in the peloton

> "I just use the handlebars I've used all my life," the Alpecin-Premier Tech leader, whose bars stand out in the peloton due to their width and retro look, explained to Cyclingnews at Tirreno-Adriatico
> In the pits at Tirreno-Adriatico, a helpful Alpecin-Premier Tech team mechanic grabbed his tape measure to confirm the current width of Van der Poel's handlebars for Cyclingnews, confirming a measurement of 450mm outside-to-outside. This is paired with almost no lever turn-in.
> "Maybe I lose a little bit of aerodynamic advantage, but I like to have the power when I stand on the pedals," he told Cyclingnews. I'm used to the size, and so for now I'm sticking to wide bars."

Top kek, the aero virgin vs the WATT monster




 >>/71257/
I unironically think it could be this year, I saw some clips from the pog roubaix recon and pog has a way different bike fit now, much more aero so there's a good chance he's made significant speed gains for roubaix 
I can't wait 2bh I'm counting the days




















 >>/71278/
Does he really think that after what he saw in strade and grug in the tirreno that he can keep up on the cipressa?
He couldn't even keep up on the poggio the first time grug won and those guys are on a whole different level now

 >>/71312/
yeah of course but a decent chunk of their off season economy depends on cycling tourism so many people still try to be nice. Oldfags told me people on mallorca used to love cyclists but that changed in the last couple years, kinda like everywhere in Spain (Girona, Calpe, Teneriffa)


 >>/71321/
> they only have a WT license for this season
Could they not prove they had economy for three years or why did they only get one year?
If they get dropped I guess an extra pro team gets guaranteed invites from next year.














































 >>/71367/
I drafted one of those mini cars for a bit today (with consent), you know the ones that are legally mopeds or something and don't go too fast. They have the optimal size for drafting kek what a gift on this windy day but I got dropped after a few km.
I don't often get to draft anything on the terrain I usually ride, everything is either way too fast or way too slow. Mostly just too fast 2bh

This was shown to be fabricated btw, he already had the injury before stage 18.

I did vo2max work today, 3x6min plus 4x3min (no time for double sessions with the kid, so making do with this pseudo-double one). Pretty good legs for once, hoping that I can push 380W+ for 30min on Sunday to do Sa Calobra in 30-31min.

> That poor boy, he was in so much pain. He even thought about giving up! Fortunately, nothing can break this warrior. The pain was so unbearable that he doubted whether he could even make it up the Ventoux, where he gained time. The pain was so unbearable that he felt uncertain on the Col de la Loze, where he gained time (and breezed through a Visma blitzkrieg on the Madeleine). The pain was so severe that he questioned whether he could even make it to Paris, where he was fighting hard for the stage victory. That whole clique consists of nothing but charlatans. Time to cultivate some goodwill with a new crypto shitcoin. Or perhaps a second statue of Sudanese blood gold, who can say?
Wielerflitsgods seem a but agitated



















































 >>/71470/
no its too short or rather the exact same length as any other road bike (if you measure saddle -> bars), the reach number is misleading or rather doesn't convey the whole truth. Also the ridley is really ugly and needlessly expensive, the dare look cool but its the same thing. 
I need something that has an effective top tube length of like 620mm with a normal size 55-57 stack so I can ride a normal length stem, I don't need a steeper seat tube angle bike or anything like that.

 >>/71474/
yea its cold right now my ride today ended at 18:15 and it went down to 2°C at that time tsk

old the most BASED don't pick 80 kilo maus on an uphill finish
everyone else is sheep who can't think for themselves, even if it turns out that maus was a good pick it will prove that the common /cyc/ goombler is not picking based on logic but instead of what the authorities tell them


 >>/71545/
They will be half way up that hill before anyone notices it is going up.
You may be on the PCS profile overfit stage Bernd, it is a long one, I still will rely on them too much when I don't have a good grasp on how the race played out in the past.

 >>/71547/
The past races don't matter because they changed the finish last year 
They used to hit the cobbles at 80km/h and sprinted for 30 seconds.
Now it's a long low gradient drag which dulls the legs of bigger guys but they can still top 10



Pogacar defined the Milano-Sanremo as "a terrifying race." 🫣🇮🇹

🗨️ "The cyclists in the Milano-Sanremo are bigger than in the rest of the ones I race, they're classics riders and sprinters, the speeds are higher on the flat. In a certain way, it's a terrifying race, especially in Cipressa or some other town before."






























































































































































 >>/71705/
how is it even possible to have a worse team than cofidis? retirement homes don't work in cycling. just find some talented youngsters that will ride for the minimum salary that throwing money at has-beens like Jakobsen. didn't they get some money for Onley?
