Primo per premio.
Astana first pro-level win of the season
>Pick Ayuso>Pick Yates>Rest of team has to be meticulously crafted with scientific precisionDamn, these boys are expensive
>>140295060lutsenko and bernal is all I need
>>140295018How fast do they go?
>>140295124>Avg. speed winner: 40.372 km/h
one of these days winter gonna end. not today though.
>“At the end of the year, together with Remco, we will see if it is not a possibility to do Milan-San Remo and then the Tour of Flanders , with a very specific program. Then he can rest, so that he can take part in Liège-Bastogne-Liège and later the Tour. I think that Remco is ultimately a bit of a Flandrien. He sometimes trains on these roads. I'm sure he wants to ride the Tour one day.”That would be neat
>>140295145>LBL was ridden faster than this sprint stage
>>140295181Patje will make Remco ride every big race on the calender because he's the only good rider left on the team.
>>140295181also just sign some classics riders you lazy dogs
>>140295094Really wanna pick my boy Bernal too. But although he'll for sure be one of the strongest, I think he'll suffer too much with the TT's
>>140295225he's gonna surprise in the flats
>>140295055>this team used to win grand tours
>>140295298And monuments
>>140295298wasn't even that long a go that fugslang showed us doping is very much alive in the peleton
how did my team end up being half ineos merda and half uae merda
Romandie startlist looking like we are in for some proper ciclismo
>>140295476you mean 10 riders slurping after a good TT resultwith the usual weaklings attacking and not getting anywhere
>>140295516sounds better than what we had yesterday
>>140295533true
>Check team>I put a Czech rider on itwtf am I retarded?
>check team>i put Tao on it
>>140295599Cerny is bertacek,watch him mysteriously stop posting tomorrow like last year when he won
>>140295124velocidades inhumanas
>>140295599Joseba NEGRO is a guaranteed Top 10 spot twice
>>140295298Astana WT wins in 2019: 15 Astana WT wins between 2020-2024: 7
>>140295631>>140295643My pick was Pavel BITTNER for 8 (eight) velocredits
>>140295762Then my friend, I am afraid you are indeed retarded
>>140295674literal semen demon
>>140295674The Russian kit is terrible, they should have gone full Ivanov for him
>>140295674Kek that russian NC jersey is UAE lazyness tier
More hard climbs, this one is in Perù, road gets worse close to the top but you can do the first 40-45 km with a normal road bike
>>140295856basically my commute
>>140295799that was pretty great. although I don't appreciate the lack of crosses in 2009 kit. some people would (rightfully) make a big fuss about it now.
>>140295894that's meters, not cm
>>140295900seriously though, some people would have a fit about dots instead of crosses.
>>140295789she works for UAE women's team since this year
>>140295994I kinda respect the grift, 2bh. this woman had nothing to do with cycling prior to Astana and she got there because she's some kind of nepo baby. then she probably claimed her prior experience at Astana to get to Lotto and then listed two WT teams in her resume to get into UAE women team. impressive, really.
>>140295966Those Katiusza jerseys were kino.
>>140296072what's her job at these teams I don't remember
>>140296165>In a momentous step, UAE Team ADQ is delighted to announce the appointment of Yana Seel as the Head of Business and Communications for the women's WorldTour team, effective immediately.
>>140296165chief of something that doesn't matter
>>140296191>Head of Business and Communicationsso that would probably be sponsor work and budget stuff I guess?
>>140296165Chief Business Officer, whatever the fuck that means
>>140296230and she was managing director at Astana
I just remembered how carapaz tried to follow Poggi so i went back to check how he managed to recover from that in the end
>>140295674last years bikes had a better paintjob
>>140296356All things considered it's surprising it's the infamous El Rato who's not complete chickenshit and tries that. He was the only who tried to follow V*ngegaard last year too.
>>140296319makes his opponents SHAKEsend this man to small basque roads immediately
>>140296392Based Richie always goes and always blows up, bless him
Tarling and Baudin out, FUCK, now I need to redo the whole thing.
>>140295674ebin helmet tan line on Lutsenko
>>140296392he always ends up paying the price but still much better compared to skjelmose who lied about following pogi
>>140296319My man could have easily followed him.
Consider this>Ethan HAYTER
>>140296604He put in a strong performance at LBL, defeating UMBA, JEGAT, VAN BOVEN, and JOUSSEAUME in the sprint for an /elite/ top 75. You'd be a fool not to pick him
>>140296603imagine the descent
>>140296165
>>140296603why is he on a highway though?
>>140296603>rim brakes>carbon wheels>kinetic energy of a freight truckgulp
>>140296603how does this guy even get on the bike
>>140296664If he's a sudaca it's kind of the meta over there, ride the shoulder of a highway
>>140296664trucks ride on the highway
>>140296603>53x11 >550w>145 bpmThe fatpill for wattmaxing
>>140296709Do you think he's SQlab pilled or his entire undercarriage is torn to shreds?
>>140296603lol he's going so slow his wheels are rolling backwards
>>140296805I think that might just be the sqlab ameribert himself with his infected saddlesores
>>140296935the weight checks out but I dont think he's that fast
Berts I'm still so happy for Bardet
>>140297386I'm happy for the one Bardet believer velogamer!The fucking odds.
This is in Reunion and the road is pretty good
>>140296935post the sores. I had some a few months ago until I started wearing the right material
Pogi's first monument was the Liege Fuglsang won, he finished in grupo Wellens-Kwiato-Alaphilippe and finished as UAE's best finisher in 18th. He was 21 at the timeBased on this information , I believe Romain Grégoire will be the next super star of the sport
>not wearing silken bibs
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xJuqRberH48
>>140298320he did 80 when he crashed interesting
>Assgreen posting how its time for vacation time a couple of days ago after his spring campaign>he is on the startlist for Romandie100% this is a punishment from patje for assman and allah
>>140298664>barely been "racing" for 2 months and already needs a vacationhe's a stoner alright
>>140295225prologue is super short, so gaps will be tiny and not matter for GCthe other TT has an uphill part at the beginning which should help Bernal to limit his losses
Romandie startlist is quite good, too bad parcours is a little lame
Bart LEMMEN
CHINA MASS DOPING EXPOSEDhttps://www.sportschau.de/investigativ/massendoping-verdacht-in-china-wada-handelt-nicht,wada-china-massendoping-100.htmlTurn on your VPNDisgusting stuff - spoiler WADA ignored it......
My team sucks give me some ideas please
>>140299310Wow immediately been range banned from exposing the doping case in a new thread.....This stuff is so ridiculuous . watch it spread the news m,y god they might kill me
https://www.sporcle.com/games/Bert_van_Koers/donostia-san-sebastin-top-tens-in-the-21st-centuryMade a new quiz if anybody even cares
>>140299310You're telling me that our ideological adversaries on the world stage are not of high moral character? Wow! That sure confirms my preconceived notions, surely the next few decades of international politics will be easier to understand and accept now
>>140296935Hey I weigh like 81kg and you people are going to give me an eating disorder with all this unsolicited criticism
>>140299374It's Trimedazidin btw all Chinese swimmers were contanimated in 2022. CHINA (Chinada) said someone accidentally dropped a shitload of it in the cantines by accident and WADA was like 'OH I apologize I thought you were doping no biggy here are your 20 Olympic gold medals,,,," Long live Chion Cina
>>140299645Crazy. Wada is useless. COMPLETELY USELESS. China should never be allowed in international sports again
>>140298320I like him and his ability to bounce back from bad times
>>140299310Looks like it's mostly about doping positives in swimming that were covered up. Not sure I see the connection to cycling, all the positives here lead to bans, even in case of innocence (toon aerts)
>>140301242It's solely about swimming, but it puts the entire anti-doping system in a bad light.
Germans are so fucking retarded
Well I have returned from Vegas. Tomorrow begins a BIG training block. Going to get out of my FTP rut

>>140304511but enough about pogatcher
>>140304554I'm gonna Pog-get-ya if you don't simmer down
Nice grug bike
"In cycling, you spend maybe 90% of the time training in the shadows," Bardet explained.
>>140305518Just go train in spain, you'll be in the sun
>>140305518Based vinester enjoyer
>>140305510meh, don't like understated WC bands. do it properly, cowards
Over 10cm snow fell during the night and it will continue through the day. First race is on Sunday. At least there's always the good old rape machine to rely on
>>140307993it was snowing here as well. -5 and really nasty wind. some dumbasses already changed their tyres so it's the day of tinsmith on the roads. level 9 traffic jams all over the city.
>>140307524Yes but this paintjob the fans can buy for a measly 1999 extra and not look kike they're riding a WC bike
what the fuck is this haircut lmao
>>140308199boy is already coping in the face of inevitable hairloss

>>140308083Same here, I'd say the majority has already changed tires. It's going to be brutal carnage
>snow in the AlpsSo how many Giro stages are getting cancelled?
>>140308263His padre is a bald icon, it should be an honor
>>140308546>muh snow in the Alps in the late springNormal thing.
>>140308546Good thing is if the stelvio gets canned we will not notice at all
>>140308978Kek, is the broadcast even supposed to be on by then?
>>140309140I think bertollo said it will be broadcast from the start but I'm not sure
>>140309341>Check team>6 bad guys on itDamn, guess Romandie is gonna get dominated by villain teams
>>140309341>>140309538Didn't mean to reply
>>140299310>>140300280>>140301242>>140301526Every other sport realized how bad it is to bring doping cases to publicity after the scandals in cycling, MLB and Finnish XC skiing. It means immediate and massive drop in both money from sponsors and the number of spectators. And years of bad press. So now what they do is cover them up as best they can.
Remember when the doctor of every single spanish athlete was convinced for doping, but turned out only the cyclists were using illegal product? Good time
>>140307993>>140308083>>140308479Plenty of new snow here too, tho most people haven't changed tires because it's been so fucking cold and meltwater is still getting to the roads and freezing whenever it does get above freezing for a short while. Can't we just get fucking summer already?
>>140309578They don't dope in football and tennis silly, nadal's knees exploded on pan y agua and the football dominance was just pure technical ability
>>140309549Too late now
>>140309578Remember how the Spanish courts literally spent over a decade fighting against the testing and for the destruction of those bloodbags that were gathered.
GIII title race at Seibuen coming up in 15 minutes-ish. Fukaya and Masugi looking good imo. Hirahara looking to make his home prefecture proud by winning the prize.

>>140310303I'm glad you shared this was pondering about this all morning
>>140310303Were they thick wool socks or "normal" socks? Wool socks are certified for comfy sleeping.
>>140310310Glad to be of serviceNext, I will be making me my legendary sandwitches>>140310314Wool of course. It was -4 outside and I didn't feel like turning the heater on
Did you know you can still adjust your team for Romandie until 14:30. That is three and a half hours of adjustments.
>>140310408Adjusted Nys out
>>140310408Best move is not to play. Haven't watched a single second of a week races since paris nice
>>140310408I have dropped the green donkey for a blacky
>>140310513But I adjusted him in
>>140310545Even better, definitely a good move for me
I'M ADJOOOOOOOOSTING

>>140310628AI generated post
Kek UAE really doesn't want to bother with contract negotiations
Zijlaard will win
>>140310665He's in my team
>>140310671No he's not
Consider this: Liepiņš
>intergiro will be another points classificationLame
>>140310628Looks delicious, do you eat any carb side dish like potatoes with this? I know I'd be hungry in two hours after that
>>140310679True I took del toro instead
>>140310702nobut I make 3 of them
>>140310665Please be quiet about my secret pick
non-attentionpayer here, what happened with climbing specialist Belgiumbert and the tall lass?
>>140310722I see, nice. I just ate tortillas for lunch with broadbeans, white and black beans, salsa, chili, bell pepper and mayo and two bananas.
>>140310772But you always pick Zijlaard and you are always complaining that he got 0 points
>>140310775Information not available. Conclusion: he is gone, he is dead
>>140310660Five years Jimmy that’s insane
>>140310310Sorry to say, but your sentences always mess with me when I'm reading them. First I read, "I'm glad you shared, this was pondering about this all morning". Please be considerate of your readers and use the comma and period Bert. Thanks in advance.
>>140310775Death by snusnu
>>140310783>and two bananaspeculiar combination indeed
>>140310795Who is the comma and period Bert, and why would he use him. I don't get it
>>140310628Would. Even better with some upgraded bread. This looks like the <1 euro toaster bread.
>>140310795Won't adjust for some autistic muppet
>>140310816Oeioeioei, painful mistake. My excuses.
Just woke up and thankfully remembered to make a team. PURE LENNERGY
>>140310819
>>140310788You are confusing me with someone else, this is only my second time picking him and last time he was okay
Picking arndt
>>140310850Lennergy is a German meme pls dont appropriate it for squeakeurs Also amazing, we only share 1 pick. But everyone is gonna pick that guy
>>140310660Let's hope it fares better for the Mexican bull than for the walloon bull haha(Only real cycling fans and attention payers will get this)
>>140310877True, Van Sintmaartensdijk was the first one on my roster
>>140310827I'm sorry to hear that, Bert
Team uae 2028 looking good
>>140310900What did you hear?
>>140310919That. PPATTT
Not gonna adjooost, I'm NOT doing it I swear
>>140310901Hjaelpers for 30 year old Pogi
Consider the following: Pepijn Reijnderinck
>>140310812The bananas were for dessert to get more carbs
>>140310901>these studs will be old in 2028
>>140311109No I will be old in 2028 (I'm old now)
April 2024, Bardet overtakes Pinot as first french in UCI ranking
>>140311183well yes but nah man even I will be old in 2028fuck 2028
>>140311194Feels like 2016 again
>>140310939I only adjusted once this morning

>>140310850nice jokealmost fell for it
>>140311326If you stop believing they stop existing
>>140311350TIL fake riders follow the Tinkerbell rules
I have adjusted bigly
>>140311335I made this team in three minutes and I like it. All my boys are there
>>140311387Actually I've adjusted but not how you would expect
I'm bored, lets adjust.
>>140311410Pick Bert Lemon
>>140311423Pf, it will be a 4th mierder.
>>140311423Will win the prologue
>>140311423>labrats in 2024
>>140311468>Psyops in 2024
>>140296603imagine the watts
>>140311350imagine if we could forget T*o from existence
I have not adjusted
>>140311506I adjusted your team when you weren't looking
I just adjusted
Asjusted my back and going for a ride
I only adjusted runners out of startlist. anything more would only add to agony later
No, I haven't adjusted, I just hope to rock the boat of the doubters.But I may still just adjust. I don't like being 2 points short of being content with me team.
>>140311575Change a 10 pointer to Ethan Hayter (12p), he always performs at Romandie
Reminder that every adjustment costs 1 point from your overall score. Many people don't know this.
>>140311589If I had 2 points left on me hands I would turn me whole life around.
>>140311592Damn you've been doing nothing but adjusting lately
>AG2R doesn't have a GC manThis is Jaako's chance
>>140310628B A S T EASTE
>>140311658Armirail and bert are their gc men
Haven't adjusted, won't adjust. Haven't even made a team. The only way to win is to not play.
>1 Adjustment = 1 less hair on head
>>140311643I don't adjust. I ride or die with my boys. Mostly die
>>140309562>Every other sportolympic weightlifting probably takes the cherry on the cake in that regard lmao. national federations could pay the IWF to ignore positive doping tests, so some athletes could blast all the gear in the world without having to worry about testing positive, while athletes from clean(tm) countries like germany couldnt use any gear whatsoever. the problem is still there but they are less obvious with abusing PEDs in most cases. every now and then you still get guys like picrel who're 19 years old but look older than i do (32) because they've been pumped full of steroids and peptides since the age of 5 lmao
>>140311658Sadly Jaakko is like the Bottas of cycling, he doesn't have that dawg in him
>>140311722If you don't believe you can achieve this natty then you don't believe in anything. The Bulgarians are clean these days
>>140311800>he Bulgarians are clean these days2 years ago this kid was caught in a traffic stop and he had alcohol and meth in his blood lmao. got some house arrest conveniently after the european championships that year
boooo
>>140311779I just can't accept it
>>140311779Pls spawn a new gimi or miga. Miga was my hero against the teutonic tormentor, and gimi was gimi.
You can still adjust Berts
do you all not have jobs?how tf are you berts in here from morning until night without failureEXCHAUSTED from worknow i have to read the entire thread so i wont get called a nonattentionpayer
>>140311895100% remote job
>>140311895My job is content creation on /cyc/
>>140311895No.But once I get it I will probably be hit with a signrat every now and then.
Tomorrow
>>140311862Lol sure everything healed 2 weeks after whining
>>140298679>he's a stonerwhy do you guys say this?
Thursday
>>140311895>dude stops working at like 14:00 and claims he's exhausted from work
>>140311932
>>140311895We work at the /cyc/ office. But only a few more months, I signed on for another job, as all attention payers know. I just heard most of my workload will go to Bertacek and Bęrt.
>>140311948
>>140311895>he doesn't shotpost from his comfy remote job while builds are in progress/during breakslmao
alright ive gnawed through the threadnothing new it seems besides the trivial sock sleeping and adjoooostments for the velogoomblers, 2 minutes left, tick tock, goomblieanyways, VLASOV will win.
>>140311898>>140311961lucky bastards>>140311937i started at 04.00
>>140311937Probably smoking too much of the green like Asgreen
>>140311948Almost silimar parcour as last year, but I guess it's good enough. They even go the remote eastern european wilderness of Slovakia, but only for just a little while.
The anatolian pro peloton has started ascent on the ultimate passo with slopes of up to 10%.The great Pippo CONCA is in a solo breakaway some 45 seconds ahead of the peloton. 20 km to go!
Is... is it over?
>>140311895Work at home on Mondays and Tuesdays
>>140312008No you can still adjust if you're quick
>Works all day long>Finally comes home>Spends his free time watching other men ride their bikeskek just couldn't be me
>Spends his free time watching other men post on internet forums instead

You sure you don't want to adjust Bert?You could if you wanted to.
Lander LOOCKX goes solo
I have picked Yannis Voisard in all sincerity without shame or hesitation
>>140312068No I don't give a shit
Nobody noticed but an Afghani runner finished 4th in Giro Mediterraneo Rosa yesterday

>>14031189512 years self-employed remote worker, peak comfy. going for rides and shitposting to my hearts desire
No real consensus huh. Even Ayuso may picked in no more than 40 teams.
With God and Christ on my side I cannot lose.
huh
van Poppel wins, possible relegation
LONARDI WINSVAN POPPEL relegated
>>140312157Says the guy with hayter

>using roads
>>140312220Err yes well, Romandie will be a slurpfest and hayter is a slurp specialist mister
top 10, for now
>>140312224I put in Chutefield, just right for the downhill on the TT.
>>140312187yes yes we get it, you have a perfect lifewhat kind of workhow old are you rnaks
>>140312266

Lenny kinda rapid for weighing so little
QUIZBERT. Played the San Sebastian quiz, 130/139. Decent score. Paolo VALOTI is misspelled. I would not have gotten that one anyway. But ADJUST please.
Kobe GOOSSENS returns today
>Sheffield dogshit>Lutsenko worse than MARTINCome on wtf
>>140312349you also missed FERRIGATO, LLORENTE, LANDALUZE, GOUBERT and CHRISTENSEN
A fucking 2km prologueWhy is this shit allowed. What a waste of everyone's time
Sheffield what the FUCK
ARANBARU paranormal after his injuryNow AYUSO PESQUERA starts and /tv/ is not even on for 20 more minutesFucking romanian RAI
>>140312292van links naar rechts
Jumbo dopage
>>140312372Yes. The other ones were JEANNESSON, TCHMIL and COVI. For some reason. My brain works in mysterious ways.
Based van dyke, I believed
Kepplinger already 12th, good thing I adjusted him out.
AYUSO washed
Ayuso slower than Lenny. What a FRAUD
>>140312388You got FARAZIJN, TOLHOEK, YUS and GERRIKAGOITIA but missed TCHMIL and COVI???
the path to first french uwt stage race becomes brighter
>Adjusted ZIJLAARD for KEPPLINGER
>>140312418Yes. I always forget Tchmil as a Belgian and Covi I just could not remember. Italian at UAE, I tried Formolo Ulissi Trentin Marcato and then I gave up.
The umpteenth lesson that adjoosting is always wrong (I will do it in the next race)
SON of a BITCH, Zijlaard actually performs now? FUCK
Based Zijlaard, I believed
I told you!! >>140310692
VAN POPPEL relegatedLONARDI wins
2km prologues really are the world championship for leadouts
Ayuso is washed, Mas is the new spanish hope
Do prologues give full stage points, even though they aren't actual stages?

>>140312648Kinda, yeah.>suspicioushipsterrat.jpg
Tratnik slower than Ayuso. VLAB is DONE.
>>140312629I mean it's probably one of the more fair trades he's done
Guys, I think Del Toro might legit be the next Pogi
>>140312672Already thinking about BORA
>>140312692he’s such a mercenary
>>140312593>5 in the top 6could be good could be bad
This time trial is kinda ridiculous

Oh never mind. They finally have the decency to hide a little bit
>>140312771He's not a TT'er anymore
>>140312771This is barely a TT. Cavendish could have won
Sometimes I forgot that DUNBAR and HARPER are two different runners
>>140312814interesting.... me too apparently, I looked at him and expected to see an aussie flag
Nys will win
>>140312840nevermind slower than ARNDT

>>140312920Ok Julius

Thinking about buying a CAGIE with a LARGE trunk so I can fit my bike in there.
>>140313005if possible that's definitely preferable to using bikerack or ballrack

>>140313387They performed all the 2022 season. Even Meintjes won again
>>140313416Okay, you're right. And UAE was 90% pogi anyway. Changing 2022 to Wanty

>>140313496You didn't even pick Oscar VAN Wilder?
WHO THE FUCK IS OSCAR RODRIGUEZ (INEOS MERDA)
Going back home from the prologue in Bayern. Most riders were on normal bikes. Will post photos when I'm back home.And who the fuck is zijlaard?

just realized that "Maikel" is a d*tch "spelling" of Michael
ivo positivo
FINALLY some points. Based Ivo Oliveira
Antoine AEBI?? What the fuck is this
>>140313507Exactly, I see children havers buying estates and then wanting to change to suvs.Just buy a van from the get go, maybe it will be overkill most of time but you're never worried something won't fit.

>>140313693what sprinters did you guys pick, is it all consonni and dainesethere was like nobody I thought even zijlaard and mick van dyke could top 5
>>140313668But his name is Mikkelsen not Michaelsen.
Let's see Cavagna fly into a building
>>140313713Interesting opinion, since Mick van Dijke is not even in the race
>>140313738they are the same rider just look at the pictures
>>140313693Dab on them prologue pickers, fellow null chads.
SURELY our boy Jimmy McNulty will go thermonuclear
>>140313713I swapped godon for consonni.They are both really similar and will contend for those 2 punchy/sprint stage.Both seemed quite in shape so it was a coinflip
Oliveira found the titty bike more comfortable
>>140313690You could add Kristoff, Petit, Vliegen and Rota
My only points are assist points for VOISARD
>>140313783I now remember ROTA, god damn what happened to that guy
>>140313791No assist points in a TT
>>140313791no assists in TT's

11th in the Tour of Germany prologue is not an insignificant result
It's nutty time
>Josef CERNy
>>140313865I guess it's kinda true since zijlaard was slightly better there and aranberto slightly worse
>4-11Incredible
>>140313896It's unironically not an insignificant result for this TT
>>140310665
the american is weak
top 10
So, why no hotseat cam? would have liked to see him celebrate
Cameron Scott had 1 top-50 result in a WT race. 21st in the 1st stage of TDU. Surely some Velo expert had this secret pick

>>140313641Also a van is literally a cheat code to driving. Install orange flashers on the car and you can park literally ANYWHERE you want for an hour at least. Traffic completely blocked and you need to go somewhere? lmao just put your warning lights on and drive on the shoulder or take a shortcut through a walk/bike path. People will literally make way for you.In Minecraft of course.

>>140314097I see diversity uberdrivers doing it as a standard operating procedure, just stop in the middle of the road an hit emergency blinkers.Wa-la, road code suspended until mr. churka's customer gets back from the shop.But a van gives you also an option of being a supply vehicle. Just have a SUPPLY plaque, bust it on your windshield and again, wa-la, road code suspended, I'm off doing important things here mister, bugger off.

New huez is out. It's basically the same but with more integrated cockpit. These retards could have remove the spacers on the pic, it looks quite ugly now
>>140314539At least the price is still the same looks like. No more rim option though, it really looks like the end
>>140314539would!
>>140314539lets face it they knew what they were doing regarding those spacers, the people who buy this will ride it like that
Can Jonas cancel prologues already? Mickey mouse stuff. Why would you get out of bed for such nonsense. They should only be allowed if there is a normal stage on the same day.
