> I am a bit bitter about the situation. If Visma and Alpecin immediately storm to the front and start riding while Tadej has a flat tire, then you do think they are acting petty.

Miggle bjerg wondering why teams just don't let him win. Why didn't he wait for grug himself












































































 >>/79124/
double bad because the fish isn't even like the dominant uber human, he will win one stage with massive margin and then just lead the peleton with every other GC rider not named carapaz sitting meekly in tow not trying anything for 2 weeks.
The vuelta last year was some of the worst shit I've ever seen























OOO Grand Camiño fever. Visma sending an absolute stinker of a team so it's going to be UAE and Movistar versus a bunch of Spanish and Portguese amateurs.
Personally I think volta legend João Matias is due for a good result on stage 2 or 3.



















Read a rumor that a guy stole a race bike at the famous Ślężański Mnich - Bruki i Szutry (won by my region guy STOSZ, kwaking KUKRLE and VOLTAIRE) and to run from the poleese he merged with the actual race, went for a long time with the peloton and made the poleese chase the peloton with signals on.
Probably some bullshit made up by some funi 14 year old but still fun to imagine.




 >>/79172/
Yes, I nootice that too, am a big shot goomblerman now too (last two weeks don't count). 
I think they are still too close, GP Montreal has more laps and all but it is still terrain for a punchy light guy, not Matthews or Arambaru. 

> Maxim VAN GILS
Heh.. guess at least that retardface got a bit cursed.






















 >>/79194/
I think that's a bit of a cliché, due to the history of working class riders during the golden age of ciclismo and the Belgian farmer riders like De Lie. 
you have riders that come from athlete or cycling families. your Poulidor-Van der Poels, your Teutenbergs. can't tell how intelligent they are. 
the rest is more middle class, where parents can afford nice bikes and are part of the local cycling clubs. then you have your accomplished philosophers and member of the order of the arts and letters of France Guillaume Martin-Guyonnet. 
for the femmes that certainly isn't true at all. you have your math phd olympic winner, reusser and chabbey are both medical doctors, bredewold might look retarded, but she wrote her thesis. have more such cases of already academic or professional accomplished girls, that need cycling as additional outlet to channel their excess energy.




























> 79219
I feel like I don't watch enough cyclismo when looking at these kinds of teams. yeah I have Gregoire, Del Grosso, Schmid, and Berckmoes was decent enough in the classics. But Zambanini and Venturini, why would I pick them over, say, Hermans or Meurisse

> The fact that the race is still new in the spring also plays a role,” says Van Den Spiegel. “We noticed that last year as well. Teams still need to get used to it.”

> They have handled everything logistically and organizationally in the same way for a very long time and now suddenly have to change that. It is also a week in which a lot of people are relieved who have been working for weeks on end. The teams are still looking for the right formula.”

> I think it is a very solid field of participants, much better than other 1.1 races. But can it get even better? Absolutely. There are still a few steps we need to take.”


 >>/79326/
But I don't understand his reasoning at all. Is the wednesday that lucrative for VIP's?
If brabantse is on wednesday the amstel riders have enough rest till sunday and the sprinters from roubaix get rest till friday and might extend their season a little.

Now it's worst of both worlds

why are """""scientists""""" making up more metrics when we already have more than enough to describe everything 
also does that mean this guys ftp is 160 watt

Wew berts my first solo paper got published so now I am very close to submitting my thesis with two papers published already, very happy with this progress. The PhD has taken a long ass time already so very glad it's nearing completion.
Celebrated by doing some LT1 work for good measure, just under 35 eggs gathered.

Thanks! yeah let's see what's left of the research career in 10 years with how fast AI is moving. I know I've had immense help from AI this past spring, Claude Code has made my coding so much faster and more efficient.
 >>/79458/
Heh, I started my thesis in early 2021, wasted a couple of years on doing bad research that led nowhere












































Had a kebab from a still quite fresh new kebab spot which originates from Wrocław it is supposedly godly.
Took a gemuse one with hot saus, it wasn't godly, but it was way way better than the vile powerball meat ones some darkies sell.
Won't be a staple, but if I ever feel like it there is an option for a good kebab.





 >>/79505/
It is Polish owned and staffed but based Poland was always just a meme, we were not based, we were an afterthought for the darkies who went to the rich places.
The flood with 3rd worlders is well under way and all the politicians are doubling down it, couldn't see a darker person for months 10 years ago, can't ride through town without seeing multiples now.








 >>/79512/
Don't feel like that yet, I think our general unruliness - which drives me up the wall because these assholes will push every little rule out of pure laziness or spite if the consequences for breaking it are not immediate - will make true anarchotyranny hard to establish, we will outanarchy the tyrants, but the same playbook is being out into place.
I think now sudacas are the worst, clearly barely human, nothing happening behind their eyes but basic instinct, blasting their retarded reggaeton, you are almost sure every one of them has a knife.

























> Not Jorgen Nordhagen, but Alessandro Pinarello is the new leader after the third stage of O Gran Camiño. After the finish, the young Norwegian from Visma | Lease a Bike was allowed onto the podium to receive the yellow leader's jersey, but that decision was reversed by the organizers almost two hours later. 

> About an hour and a half later, the organizers posted on X that they had reviewed the times of both riders once again. “The narrow differences led to a thorough revision of the times of both riders and the bonuses earned during the stage, resulting in Alessandro Pinarello as the leader. The NSN rider, in the yellow jersey tomorrow,” the statement reads.


















 >>/79556/
I do cobbled climbs sometimes but not often because stuff like the koppenberg, paterberg is just not fun to ride. Kwaremont is alright.
Flat cobbles I avoid unless I'm doing some social rides, it is torture on the bike and wheels and unlike WT pros I don't have a car with free 1000 euro wheels following me.




















> Bálint Makrai was caught during an out-of-competition control on March 30, 2026. The 19-year-old neo-pro from the Hungarian-Italian ProTeam MBH Bank CSB ​​Telecom Fort has been informed of his positive doping test by the International Testing Agency (ITA). It concerns an Adverse Analytical Finding (AAF) for the substance metandienone metabolite.

That team will get disbanded within 2 years.








 >>/79583/
The person who's first in our league have both wellens and Vermeersch. Cosnefroy in pre race interview when speaking about Vermeersch said he was in "pre-vacation" laughing.

Wellens in pre race interview said he would have liked to have two more weeks and they legs weren't there.

Does this bert knows things and those people are one again bullshitting us.

so let's check who's even racing dubs this year.

well, grim. for whatever reason visma did the dubs races last year with t-rex doing some nice efforts. but non-french wt teams seem to stay away from coupe de france races.






































































































































> “Stevie Williams is still undergoing intensive rehabilitation for a thigh tendon condition,” writes the WorldTeam, which was Israel-Premier Tech last year, in a social media update. “With the plan to return to full training within the next four to six weeks.”

> Like the 29-year-old Williams, his 23-year-old teammate Blackmore is also absent. Although the team had placed him on provisional start lists, this was against better judgment. “Joe will undergo further consultations with specialists in the United Kingdom and Belgium. This is to investigate persistent knee pain during training, which has kept him sidelined so far this year,” the team stated.

fucking hell did they hire the previous ag2r dude as physio
























> Prudhomme a estimé qu'il y avait « 90 % » de chances de voir Seixas sur la Grande Boucle, et expliqué qu'il attendait « avec délectation les prochaines semaines, et sa décision à lui, de son équipe ou de sa famille ». « Jusqu'au mois de février, avant qu'il ne gagne en Ardèche, je disais : S'il ne vient pas, on ne lui en voudra pas. Mais à ce moment, mon regard a changé. Ce qu'il a fait au Tour du Pays basque en gagnant trois étapes, en écrasant ses adversaires, en étant le meilleur en montée et en descente... Donc là, je dis simplement que s'il vient, je ne lui en voudrais pas non plus », a-t-il avoué
The hype is sureal. His next contract is going to be higher than pog's

Yeah, I've had it with the burger doing the podcast with Bruyneel.
> yea so this guy tobayas johan andersen, i mean tobayas johansen.. him and andreas are twins?
> yeah das crayzeee
> paul seixas, am i saying it right johan? sexass yeah, das WILD












> Tom Pidcock will not start the Amstel Gold Race. The Briton from Q36.5 has chosen instead to return to racing in the Tour of the Alps. This was announced by the race organizers themselves.
so he's gonna do LBL a day after tour of the alps? sounds like a disaster




















To be honest, I get a little irritated with my dad because he keeps buying these big sailboats (always new), keeps them for a few years while absolutely blowing thru money maintaining them, and then sells at a huge loss. If he had just bought a lake house or something, our family would have a nice vacation home to share together and keep for the future.

The sound from right pedal is back
My "fix" didn't even last 14 days

Last two weeks I have been talking with Assioma with play in me right pedal, the ticket has finally escalated from l1/l2 to """"technician"""". My goal is they offer me a discount on the new version of assiomas.
If they tell me to go fuck myself, I will probably invest in those power2max (Presented by Malawi Bert)
















weather was too nice to stay home. 
let's see what I missed:
> Der Angriff Steiners in Bosnien ist erfolgt
dude is 25 already. I thought pogiteam was for juniors.
> Dan Dickman next Dutch GC hope
he probably needs to learn from Dumoulin at some point in his career
> dopathlon revenge against jegat 
> some volta legends left in cabeza at gran camino





































 >>/79894/
I have no idea who dis.
But I also haven't watched snooker since forever.
Guess the bong kulturkampf via relentless broadcast of their """sport""" has taken hold.
Guess this kid is young, no one named their child Antoni for 50 years and now the name is back.
There is also supposedly a new Polish Messi coming up the ranks but I think there were already like 5 of them.
















































 >>/79943/
> But the world title was not denied for long: he won the 1966 championship not too far away from his home, at the Nürburgring. There was controversy because Altig had been helped by Gianni Motta, riding that day for Italy but normally Altig's companion in the Molteni team. The concern was quickly overshadowed by the refusal of the first three riders to give urine samples for a drugs check. They were protesting at what they saw was the laxity with which tests were carried out and at what they considered restrictions on the way they prepared themselves. Altig said: "We are professionals, not sportsmen." The three were disqualified and suspended but ten days later the Union Cycliste Internationale allowed the result to stand.

What a stressful day yesterday. On Wednesday, I finally got the Ascent Aeroo handlebars + Anaconda stem I had been waiting for the whole winter, just in time for the race season. So then I visited the local bike shop and they were able to swap the cockpit and do the routing by Friday. All good! Yesterday I was supposed to go and test the bike when around 10AM I get a mail from the company titled "PRODUCT RECALL / STOP USING ANACONDA STEMS IMMEDIATELY". Some carbon cracking hijincks apparently. Fuck fuck fuck, what will I do now? i ain't got the tools to undo internal routing and put my old stem+handlebar system back on. Contacted all LBS's in the area and one of them was willing to do it after their team development day. So it ended up being around 9:30 PM when it was finally ready, god bless. But extremely stressful waiting for it, I couldn't race my rim brake bike since it's over 0.5kg too light for UCI races, so that's out of the question. But looks like I'm good to go now. Too bad I won't be able to race with the Aeroo, would have been great for aero position.
