> “I hate him,” Brunel makes no bones about it in an interview with the French sports newspaper L’Équipe. “He made fun of me during his stupid live shows. He’s a really horrible guy. He thinks he’s a champion, but he’s not. David may have won a few races in his career, but that doesn’t make him great.”

> “On the other hand, Thibaut Pinot is an idol. If Thibaut was on my wheel, I would give 1000 percent. Even if I fell to the ground from exhaustion. If you have a problem with me, just tell me. If you don’t respect me, I won’t respect you either.”

She does not really drink. But I think I only have like six bottles planned during il Giro. I usually drink about a half bottle per day, sometimes a bit more on weekends.

(I am probably shaving down one or two of these bottles)

Give it a little time (maybe 30-60 minutes), make sure it's not too cold. Young Cotes du Rhone should be pretty open and accessible with a little bit of air.

In cycling-wine related news, TdF is basically skipping Burgundy and Bordeaux this year but we'll have some fun, don't anyone worry!

The Dauphine has a stage right through Cote Chalonnaise and Cote Maconnais with finish in Macon so could we perhaps have the first two-bottle stage of the year? 

Only time (and my liver's health) will tell!

I did buy wheels but from a fellow kurwaman, he couldn't sell them for so long he drove to Opole from the Moravian border to hand them over personally kek.
But not from Czechem, probably another kurwabert did, there's one roaming 4/cyc/ now, it's also probably the dentist.













anything more cucked than fighting for KOM points every single day and inevitably getting kwabbed by gc guys who arent even trying at all?

It's possible to embed some streams (right now its TNT Sports 3 UK) on cytube, and lo.
Notes:
Use adblockers, these embeds can have several riderections.
You might have to click "Embed" and then unmute.
Resolution can't be changed I think.

Probably can add tour de hongri later. It starts in about 2 hours right?

also insane fueling, 177 g of carbs per hour and he actually gained 3 kg of weight





 >>/9263/
nigga over here eats almost 180g per hour every hour for 24 hours and I get the shits trying to eat more than 100g an hour after 2.5 hours. I look up this formula 369 stuff and its 1:1 glucose fructose ratio carbs so I don't get it, why can't I do that?
Is this fascism? Fuck you



 >>/9268/
I have no problem eating 100g per hour and I don't know what the difference between glucose and fructose is. I guess being a easy weight gainer has its perks. Still, since I'm not racing there is absolutely no reason to do it so I very rarely do it







 >>/9268/
> I look up this formula 369 stuff and its 1:1 glucose fructose ratio carbs
He says he used 1:1 maltodextrin fructose, from Formula 369 he only used their "High Protein Recovery Mix"

 >>/9270/
been doing it for 2 years and no change since day 1 and it's real annoying because I have to actually pace long rides instead of riding how I want to or it gets dicey with bonking after 4 hours at just 100g/h





















 >>/9295/
All the small chans got these. It goes on for years now (well over 5 years for sure). Frequency varies, sometimes couple of times a day, sometimes it skips weeks. Noone has any idea who does it or why, or how can they do it still.

He obviously needs a firm hand to keep him in check.  
So maybe Lidl could work for him , that team seems like they are very well ran . They also need a GC guy who isn't Tao .

Fascinating how quickly gum pain comes and go, started yesterday morning, was hurting all evening (a good excuse for no ride though) and this morning it's almost gone.
Take care of you're teeth berts, 9 of 10 berts recommend that

A BIG article on biggest czech Zeitung, about bike vendors struggling to sell all their inventory.
Apparently they though the boom from c*vid years was gonna continue, everybody would be buying new bike every year and now they are full surprised pikachu that nobody is buying.
Comments are ripping them, saying Decathlon is much cheaper and even buying and shipping bikes from exotic countries like Italy or Spain is much cheaper.

> Sellers expected the buying frenzy to continue for some time. After the pandemic, however, the market was expecting a steep decline in 2023. Demand returned to the pre-Covid period, which sellers were not prepared for. This left a large number of bicycles in stock, but there was no demand for them. Or worse. “After the pandemic subsided, ordered and delayed supplies from previous years arrived, which led to overstocked warehouses,”

I didn't even know there are bike shops that only work on bikes you bought there, didn't know they could be choosy like that. I guess thats bike leasing and hordes of ebike boomers 
anyhow I've only ever been in a bike shop once in my life and that was a couple years ago when I wanted a new chain, they sold a m7100 chain for like 48€ when it costs like 24 or less online kek fuck that. I looked around some and they overcharge on everything, basic bitch tubes for 9€ and shit. Lord knows what they charge for fixing your bike









I take my Giant to local Trek store for stuff I don't want to do, they work on anything and do good work. 

Attention payers may remember the tranny mechanic who worked on my bike freshly postop from his forehead reduction with giant scar across his head and sutures covered in dried blood.

Him skipping MSR is especially retarded. He only needs to be at Ganna level and he'll automatically have the best shot he'll have the entire season at winning a monument.


I HATE W*UT DOT COM who obviously picked W*ut is going to win this stage by a lot.
Suissebert on the rise AGAIN.
Me, Brtek, Bertele.












 >>/9945/
He needs to have that really good day he has every GT in a big stage. Yates and especially McNulty are fodder, they'll randomly lose 6 minutes at any time. Del Toro is a bit of an unknown, but he hasn't shown anything yet that shows that he can keep up with the main GC for an entire week of high mountains. In one week races he has shown some weakness more than once (though tbf he was never riding as a leader at any of those times). Achooso is the true threat.

If Roglic has the legs, he'll do his thing and fight till the end. If anything, he is no bitch. And more than anyone else, he knows that nothing is over until the final stage (well, stage 20).



 >>/9949/
This. McNuggets and Yates should be non-factors regarding the overall win, but they will obviously make it hard to attack from afar and such. Del Toro is the big unknown though. We could be in for a really exciting race. Too bad about the all-time shitty route.















 >>/9967/
could see him hold it for a while, have you seen how lame week 2 is?
he'll lose it in the high mountains but the first real test isn't till stage 16
after that it's stage 19















Apparently Del Toro claims he thought Bernal was Ayuso because of the white NC jersey.
Already had a good excuse ready before finishing the stage. Many betrayals ahead in this runner's future.

used to be a heavy drinker but I finally gained some willpower 2 years ago to cut it down and try to get into the best cycling shape I can
sometimes I miss it but it does feel like a fog lifted from my head




















 >>/10016/
I've reached it running. Honestly it always feel like the heart never works while cycling, just the legs. Maybe I should do the thresholds sessions prescribed by finnbert but I hate it indoor and outside it's a bit complicated with the state of the roads around



 >>/10018/
You won't peak with just threshold. Need to do threshold -> VO2 max -> full sprint.

I only see my max ever at the end of Zwift races while sprinting. From just threshold exhaustion I'll hit 187-190 or so.


> Arnaud De Lie was looking forward to his return to the cycling peloton, but after just forty kilometers in Rund um Köln the Belgian champion disappeared from the race. What is wrong with De Lie? "It just didn't work," says team manager Nikolas Maes in an interview with Het Nieuwsblad.

how do you fuck up this badly? judging from his strava he's just training alone in wallonia doing fuck all quite frankly, amateur numbers
why don't they just house him with other riders that do train

Well, well, well, what a Giro we've had so far and what a stage today! Perfect time for another sensational /WORLD TOUR WINE/ !!

Today's stage mirrors Strade Bianche, where I enjoyed a phenomenal Brunello di Montalcino from Castello Romitorio that still sits at the top of the /WTW/ rankings. Today, we are enjoying a wine from one of the other great appellations of Tuscany -- Vino Nobile di Montepulciano. The route today almost perfectly bisects the towns of Montalcino and Montepulciano so it is a fun comparison between the two. I should note that this is NOT the same wine as Montepulciano d'Abruzzo which is an entirely different region and different grape. Vino Nobile di Montepulciano is, predictably, Sangiovese, the great grape of Tuscany.

Avignonesi Grandi Annate Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Riserva 2016 ($110)

This is a riserva (3 years minimum aging). Avignonesi only vinifies Grandi Annate in great vintages, so not available every year. Decanted for three hours.

Pours a deep ruby with white/garnet rim and red reflections. The nose is deep and rich -- the most intense Dr. Pepper you've ever smelled with cherry, plum, turbinado sugar, light vanilla, and cedarwood. Normally a Cola scent is off-putting to me (too many California pinot noirs that smell like Cherry Coke and taste like shit) but this is really nice, balanced, probably because of the power of the fruit.

The palate is powerful but balanced. There is plum and cherry enveloped in tannins, almost chewy, but with fresh acidity.

Extremely nice bottle, not reaching the complexity or quality of the Brunello di Montalcino earlier this year, but very nice nonetheless. Obviously built for age, this drinks well now but in another 10-15 years would be hitting its stride.




 >>/10043/
Very nice, I didn't even know there is more than one Montepulciano and I like the Abruzzo one, at least most of the time.
The bottle aesthetics make it look like it is a very good wine, you will get a knack to judge the cover pretty well, although it is still a faulty instinct.
Vinho verde tends to be better the more childish the aesthetics are.



 >>/10049/
I was just planning on picking up a bottle of Prosecco but one of my local wine shops actually has a small selection of Slovenian wines so I will do some research and make decision closer. 

I'm also still trying to decide my bottle for stages 17-20 which cover Alto Adige, Lombardy, and Valle d'Aosta regions.

For final stage of each GT, I am planning a special bottle from each country not restricted by location

Interestingly enough most of the stuff I buy to cellar has completely plain, boring labels. I am somewhat suspicious of garish labels (any winemaker with a marketing department is suspect), but I can't fault the Italians, they can't help being garish
