International superstars like Nicolas ROCHE humbled at the Finnish elite gravel event Borgå Primavera, Juuso Puhakka the best of the Finns at 4th. Me, I'm stuck at home since wife is due with the baby any day now, so just short endurance/LT1 today.

Reminder that tomorrow is the extremely prestigious GRAN PREMIO NYC.

While the startlist is not as strong as the inaugural race in 2024 (where a certain Tibor DEL GROSSO announced himself), we still have such luminaries as Jason HUERTAS, Alvaro HODEG, and Vuelta podium-finisher Oscar SEVILLA.









 >>/86483/
I wasn't even aware that Cheesecote was a named climb in the area...Gate Hill is even a bit overrated. It's like 2.5km at 5.5%, no real steep sections.

Personally, my favorite climb is Alpine Road which is 2km at ~7.5% with a few steeper ramps. And of course Bear Mountain but the problem with Bear Mountain is that you can't ascend and then descend it, it would need to be a MTF.

The 2026 Giro podium is going to be:

> 1 HINDLEY
> 2 O'CONNOR
> 3 HIRT

Fishman will chute slightly and Trine will call him home
ARENSMAN and GALL will have their signature "lost 15 minutes day"
BERNAL GOMEZ will just fade
PELLIZZARI won't survive 2nd week
EULALIU and RONDEL won't survive 3rd week and will leak time, same for CICCONE
STORER will finish 4th ahead of surging WEST





 >>/86641/
I don't use windows besides on an used surface pro that I bought for cheap. (kinda cool as a concept having a tablet with a full OS letting me install real software and not shitty android apps) I ran a github script deleting or deactivating all unnecessary microslop shit.

























> And the men of Visma | Lease a Bike largely had themselves to blame for that. After 149 kilometers and more than 2,000 meters of elevation gain, the necessary attackers had been caught and the peloton was gearing up for the sprint. The lead-out train of top favorite Brennan took the initiative, but took a wrong turn in the final stages.
lel hope there's some footage

















 >>/86712/
I was thinking after the race, that defensive and safeR riding by Jonas and Visma will come to haunt them sooner or later. may it be another Astana rider gaining lots of time or bora managing to isolate jonas in the alps.

 >>/86697/
update
> Within the final kilometer, the lead motorbike accidentally took the diversion route intended for team cars, and a significant portion of the peloton followed. After deliberations with the race jury, the decision was made to give all riders the same finishing time.

and visma threatened to DNS tomorrow if they didn't do this





 >>/86717/
If you're tired and focused on your sprint and expect the moto to go to the line you might follow it without thinking.
It's a little pathetic to make a fuss about it for such a small race that's arguably below Brennan. But had it been a bigger race and it happened to my team I would have complained too.












































 >>/86742/
Ppattt, none of the GP NYC is actually in the city proper. It starts across George Washington bridge in Fort Lee, NJ, and then goes north away from city. 

Also why would I go to the Bronx aside from Yankees or Zoo




















 >>/86783/
The motif was not about winning, I am probably not winning that anyways even if half of the berts would miss a team, the motif is plain old shithousery that itself stems from the instinctive feeling that small boys already get, of needing to be preshit everyone so everyone is ready when true shit hits the fan.
Weren't you supposed to not care about the goombling anyways Bert, why are we serious immediately then.

But I do care and I care about doing well otherwise I wouldn't play but I still play for because I have fun if I didn't have fun I would stop. My post wasn't even that serious just want people to make a team that's all. Why would it I want them to miss out on a premium velogoomble.




























Hey again some decent commentary on tiz. Yesterday it was this dude and some guy Jacopo (Guarnieri?) and he recognized everyone immediately. Night and day compared to Kirby and the other retards









 >>/86820/
> Guarnieri has a daughter whom he co-parents with a former partner.[47] He formed part of British broadcaster ITV Sport's coverage of the 2024 Tour de France, providing analysis on the first four stages of the race.[48] He also commentated on the world feed coverage of the 2025 Giro d'Italia, working with Ned Boulting,[49] whom he had previously worked with as part of the ITV Sport Tour de France coverage.
Must have been him. He was really good























































































































































 >>/86901/
Nice going in any case, you can see from the HR that it was pretty hard by the end so good that you endured it.
 >>/86969/
Also cool ride! I didn't ride yesterday but next week I will ride a lot and if the wife goes into labor then it is what it is, but I have a 2min max test planned for Tuesday and a 5min max test planned for Saturday so I hope the baby is a bit late













 >>/86986/
Actually there is a Zwift climb that is about 2:30 long (for me) but the issue is I feel going all out for 2 minutes makes you ded and I can't do more positive work afterwards.
Alternatively, I can do it at the end of a rape session, but that also has it's disadvantages.




 >>/86987/
as even as possible however I know roughly what I can do for each duration from normal riding so if I try an all out effort for a strava segment or so I try to target like 5-10% more until I feel like its too hard, then back off to what I know I can do for sure and then go harder again (if possible) for the last 30-60s however for <=2 min I usually can't go harder and just try to hold what I got

 >>/86991/
I rode in once and could barely stay upright, boy the cobbles were so slippery even though it's been dry for days, each pedalstroke had me rear wheel go sideways.
It felt like I was scoring massive watts (i wasn't)
























 >>/86992/
 >>/86988/
 >>/86987/
Yeah for me personally, I know from previous experience that my W' is about 30-35 kJ, so I can do roughly that amount of work over ftp in one bout. For shorter efforts it's a bit lower, for longer ones it's bang on (20min, 5min etc). And I know my ftp to be around 375-380. This means I'll probably go for about 620-650 for the 2min, pacing as Malawibert says (1min slightly too hard, drop off a bit, then all out to the end), and 480+ for the 5min one, pretty evenly split (very slightly more at beginning).

> "It is a shame for the breakaway riders," Campenaerts thought of unlucky Giulio Ciccone, who was overtaken just one and a half kilometers from the finish.

> Giulio came to ask at least 10 times if it was okay for us, and it was. Yeah, that's how it goes."

> Decathlon CMA CGM rode on the flat, we positioned ourselves uphill. But Jonas said: 'Guys, I feel very good.'"

Ok goomble in general this Italy, I wish I didn't force that Lund instead of Magnier and if I didn't I wish I'd go not with Buitrago but either with Scaroni-4-Narvaez or any of my shortlist 6 picks from which none was bad, like Silva-Beloki. Eulalio would be a choice after them, after Vendrame, Arieta, Stork, Garofoli as well so I was not picking him.
BUT this is fine, many haberts with 3 runners less, some with a full squad doing worse, don't even feel like spinning up the shits and seeing the state of affairs.



 >>/87023/
They pulled for 2+km on the climb bert and then Gall attacked out of their wheel. PCS has the receipts. 
There's nothing wrong with wanting to win by the way, just don't act in the interview like it was against your will.



> The current generation of shot putters does not measure themselves against the distances from the time when doping was widespread, Schilder said in that same extensive interview at the end of 2025. “We do take those distances from the past seriously, but we view it as the unofficial world record. We know that it was achieved with aids that we will never, ever use.”

> “In those years, there was something else at play that caused it to skyrocket. I don't know what they all used, but it wasn't contaminated meat. We look at the distances thrown with the new rules and stricter controls we have. So, the record holder is Valerie Adams.”

> That is why Schilder’s performance is being praised worldwide. For her 21.09 meters is only 15 centimeters short of Adams’s ‘doping-free’ world record. It is not hard to guess what Schilder’s next dream is. The new big goal: bridging that 15 centimeter gap.

Did you know athletics is absolutely clean now. I don't know how this narrative fits with FloJo's times being almost beaten now but I am sure there is an explanation


















the Tour route this year is fascinating, there's maybe one straightforward sprint stage and all of the 'flat' ones have speed bumps in the final 40-20km; they're really responding to the ending of the fat sprinter and making these stages harder

And I made it too! That actually wasn't hard at all, even for me on a shitty bike. Going down those hairpins was so much fun after seeing it on tv for all those years. I felt like Mathieu, well before he was completely washed and done for of course














 >>/87056/
I think Remco still wins the TT unless Pogi specifically prepares for it.

Absolutely free if Remco doesn't go though. Ganna and Tarling would get eaten alive on that climb. I wonder who else would be good for this. Armirail? Romeo?

Wait, it's fucking Hayter, isn't it?




































> The Giro called on riders last Sunday to stop urinating in empty water bottles and then throwing them away. According to the organization, this could lead to undesirable situations if spectators, including children, subsequently pick them up.

who did it

wrong innit, its not the fastest
more interesting is that even with such a radical design there is basically not much gain to be had over old ass aero bikes from 2018 or whatever or allrounder bikes kek
bike design is maxed out, its over for them












 >>/87110/
yes although the list was made by the stromm people it's a compilation of the results from the tour magazin test over the years.
It's not a complete list, there are some more bikes under 200 w that they didn't list. They cherry picked some results


 >>/87097/
> Lennert Van Eetvelt (LOI) gets 200 CHF for urinating in public during the race (km 33) and damaging the image of the sport
> David De La Cruz (PQT) gets 500 CHF for inappropriate behaviour and damaging the image of the sport

These SICK FUCKS. Also I would send that Van Eetvelt urine straight to WADA







 >>/87121/
I guess to sell bikes to people who want a slimmer look than the aeroad but from the stats alone it doesn't deserve to exist no
> not aero
> not light either
a 6500€ ultimate weights 7.42 kg while a 6500€ aeroad weights 7.6 kg per canyon website

Haven't looked at a bike and thought 'I want that' for ages 2bh. I'm currently pondering a custom TI frame after todays ride but I'm conflicted because I would have to make it disc brake and that would kill my credibility because I've been very obnoxious about rim brake propaganda irl, if I abandon it I will never hear the end of it. Making the frame rim brake seems insane because of potential part supply issues sooner or later (probably sooner)

Also Cavagna looks so shit from the back, hips swaying and legs tracking to the side. You see better TT form from middle-aged TT autists at the club level
Segaert looks nice though, good form.

I think this also reflects on average TR workouts, like where do they ever even have people doing 5s max efforts? 60min max reflects some sweetspot 5x9min meme at 87% etc. Hell the average user probably struggles with anything longer than a 60min workout.

It is always over for someone, this time for my Hell of the North booties. Don't have an exact count nor Strava archives, almost don't export it anymore but I have gotten a good 10k out of them.
They're not dead yet technically but better not ride on them too far from home so I don't beat Brtek's walk of shame record.














> Ganna wants to win 
> Does an insane TT averaging 55kph for over 40km, puts minutes into rest of the podium 
> Cicco wants to win
> Expects other riders to sit up and let him ride away
> Cries 
What a bitch

































> It became clear that Jonas is not as strong on this course. That doesn't worry us further. He didn't have a bad day, let's say an average day. The Giro is still very long and we are still in a very good position.
Visma has no worries and everything is going fine!




 >>/87425/
Gall/Decathlon tried already on Sunday and surely will try again, even if only to attack Arseman.
But what difference does it make? Jonas has been clearly the strongest climber so far, and the TT does not give reason to assume that has changed. Arseman and Gall and the rest will not suddenly drop him and gain minutes on him, unless Jonas gets sick or chutes or has a really bad day.
