Its gonna be a tdf light on danes. So far its known that following riders wont go:>Assgreen>Kron>GregaardMissing anyone?
good thing I didn't win this last week now I will even more. Colnagos for all the Berts
>>141995068I'll have mine in white.Cheers.
>>141995068Cheap
>A /cyc/ group ride with mandatory /cyc/ jerseys and Irishbert's Colnagosa sight to behold
>>141994924Casagrande = soul
Shit team
>>141995505Why fred and not blackedmore? He hasn't done anything worth mentioning ever since he assassinated Roglic
I had completely memory holed that Asgreen won a stage last year, thanks Netflix
>>141995559so did he
>>141995559Could have been two if he could do a bike throw. Cost him the NC yesterday too.
>>141995460I will fund nicer jerseys. shan't be wearing that abomination
>>141995505Stevie W is on that Israel juice this season. Watch his win a stage at le Tour. But he'll likely slave for Pidcock at the OG.

won't be around for stage 1. going to the foothandball
>>141995168this is the first disk colnago i actually like
y'all watching the hockey tonight? One of the few sports I know fuck all about but it would be rude not to watch the first half/quarter/period or whatever it is they have ya know game 7 and all. how bout dem Panthers
>>141995460 >mfw when in a gruppeto with Bertacek and Looserbernd
>>141996185it starts too late to be honest
>>141996185yeah, but I don't really find it appealing desuyes I can see the puck, it's really not that good of a sport
>>141996219why would i be in gruppeto with loserbernd? his ftp is double digiti am feeling very offended right now
>>141996256Probably good if you know some tactics and plays. I just don't know what's happening when I'm watching
>>141996185I see Netherlands play Belgium tonight, very interesting. Nice of you to watch
>>141996185I tried watching a world championship once because our team was supposedly the best they'd ever been.It was ok but not too interesting. It reminded me a bit of a handball match with the back and forth between goals it just wasn't as exciting to watch.
I will fetch bottles for me favourite berts
>>141996185I would but for me it is surely too late.I like Miami Heat and Tampa Bay Bucs so I am kinda team Panthers.I guess it is one of those sports you have to play to really appreciate. And I can't even skate.
>>141996399Nonsense, you just need to be from a hockey country like c*nada, czech'em or finland
>>141996399when I was in school I applied for a job at an ice rink. in the interview they asked me to rate my skating skills out of 10. literally never skated before (or since). gave myself a 7 out of 10. didn't get the job.
>>141996435I have never seen those countries play hockey. We are Olympic and World Champion I am pretty sure
>>141996219Bertacek would have called in sick because the rain prediction was 0.1mm

>>141996613how do bookies look at van shart's current shape and don't see he's gonna get torn apart those first few stages
>>141996612Loserbernd get a puncture and is never seen again since he doesn't believe in spare tubes
>>141996435I don't mean to even be in a club, just play with your boys so you have feel for it. I get how some plays that may not be that flashy are difficult to pull off and what is a great pass - although at least in terms of passes there is carry over from other inanimate object whacking sports.But to really feel it you need to play it. Liked me games in Ostrava. Had little idea about what is really going on.>>141996489Absolutely proper approach, let them worry. I was on skates once (1ce) in fact, on Valentine's Day when I was 17 and I didn't even fall, just preemptively sat on my arse when I felt my legs are going different directions. I guess this would be worthy of at least a 5 in scale to 10 for an ice rink job.
>>141996648if they put him high on the list non-attention-payers will think he's good and put money on him
>>141996727
>>141996648last climb is only 5% and then 25km to finish. he could make it
>a 40-year-old Danish man from Flensburg charged with having smuggled no less than 20.5 tonnes of drugs into Denmark from abroad.>And according to the prosecutor, the main defendant, a 40-year-old man, should therefore be punished with imprisonment for 13 to 15 years.>She believes that especially the large volume of doping preparations and drugs, that the sale has been organized so professionally and that the doping business has been going on for several years, speaks for the fact that the punishment should be so high.Bert should be careful about picking danes in your veloslop.
>>141996800he didn't even have enough kick to get past Nys or Meeus this weekendit's not like he's arriving in his best shape, the only climbing he's done racewise was norgay
>>141996866>only climbing he's done racewise was norgayHe was really bad there.
>>141996866not insignificant riders
i'd buy an official /cyc/ jerseyand wear it of course
>>141996945we really should have one on velogames. a nice one. not the current shit one
>>141996994speaking of that, way too many default jerseys lately need some berts to really step it up

>>141998671It’s the most relevant thing for a boomer’s life
I can't believe irishbert doesn't like the /cyc/ jersey
>>141999841I will only squeak if I don't get an invite myself

ride done, now gonna relax and read a little before going to bed
>>142000136Not bad, I kind of like pastel colours, and light colours are good in summer

>>142000804had a cornetto. just plain. should have got mint or strawberry
>one third of the team with a special TdF jerseyI don't like this trend
surprised Lenny is going to the tour with him leaving the team and allthought FDJ was more old school like that
>>142001326they let him slave away for Gaudu's 10th on gc as punishment I wager
>>142001297>Alpecin, Visma, Bora, EF, Astana, Cofidis, Wanty, Jayco and QuickstepAlmost half the teams
>>142001412fates worse than death
>>142001326They know he's leaving so fuck it you do the Tour. No development plan by doing the Vuelta
Mattéo Vercher probably the worst rider on the startlist
>>142001441Alpecin is going with a special jersey?And I though Bora was just showing their new permanent jersey
>>142001441good. the jerseys are meaningless anyway. literal billboards. may as well mix it upIt's not like France rocking up to the euros and deciding yeah we're not wearing blue this time with got some meme shit instead.
>>142002015For RedBull Bora it will be their new jersey yes
>>142001991there's an even worse rider on the same team called GRELLIER Fabien
>>142002237It's annoying when 99% of races are with one jersey but the Tour is with a different one. It's like if football teams changed their jersey for the champions league games
>>142002348Grellier has a better record than Vercher. I knew Grellier but not Vercher
>>142002429no it's not because the jerseys are meaningless. football teams have historic colours associated with them. Real Madrid will never change form white ever. A cycling team changes when a new sponsor comes. The jerseys mean nothing.
>de lie removed all his power data from the NCanother one down, soon there will be nobody left
>>142002707>Avg 5 Whe's just like me
>>142002555Yeah and if teams didn't do this shit maybe the jerseys would have more meaning. Visma builds their brand with the yellow bees thing but they come with a blue jersey in Tdf
>>142002923well isn't that just because they can't ride in yellowI guess they could do the inverse with black and yellow but they already sold jerseys like that last year
>>142002707its overbut this looks like the sensor cutting out. If you remove power through strava the entire field is gone and if you remove power through editing the file it's also either all gone or all 0, not normal power for a bit at the start and then 0. Looks to me like he switched bikes at the start because he comes to a stop when the stats are gone. He may still be cool is what I'm getting at
>>142002707Ebike confirmed
>>142002754>singledigit FTPyou must be REALLY skelly my Brtek
>>142003257>>142003285You now remember LAFAY's missing powerdataDopeurs will call it a strava feature but everyone knows the truth

Estimated based off averages that around 8-10 riders starting at the Tour will be homosexual. That's more than an entire team! I think it is very clear that cycling has a problem with homophobia. Traditional cycling countries like Italy and Spain have very negative views toward gay people and this will impact their careers if they were to live openly. Why should they suppress their true self to appease some snotty italian mobsters who are a drain on the sport through organised doping programs? This is the current biggest social issue in pro cycling and I'd be glad to watch it change, and sharpish. It is something I'm beginning to be more passionate about.
I read no word of this post
>>142004335>"we want to ride aggressively"Ineos is dead, it's over.

HORNER is really milking it
I downloaded 400 images of shallots so we're a /shallotjak/ general now.>>142005023unironically, it's absolutely pathetic these traditionalists gatekeeping the sport. Vaughters is a very good figure in teh sport because he doesn't take it too seriously and gives opportunities for social discussion instead of same old boring 'traditional' values. The acceptance of sponsors such as UAE and Bahrain is absolutely sickening too! Not just because of rampant homophobia, but the various other social issues including slave labour! It's like if palastine or hell, even Russia sponsored a team. Imagine the backlash there.

>>142009052He just has big bones for his big lungs.
well consoomers, I have canceled Trainer Road after only one attempted session (don't worry, it was only a 30 day free trial).No AppleTV so had to cast from my phone to the TV which took forever to set up. I don't care how good the training plans are, I can't sit on my trainer and stare at a chart. Even I am not that autistic.Anyway, in my rage against that shit project, I did FTP test on Zwift and increased from 242 -> 254, we are all going to make it
final bidon? nah lad just giz a smoke
>>142009146Is that all it does? Just personalized trainings?
absolutely slanderous related search suggestion. how do I report this
>>142009270Yes, creates plans based on your goals and fitness and adjusts them day to day based on fatigue and adaptation.It's not a bad idea. If it were cheaper and I could easily port to Zwift I would consider it, but already paying enough for Zwift.Now I just need to figure out a good place to make training plans .....
>>142009231I don't think any modern day cyclist comes even close to the coolness of the guys back then.
>>142009825I hope he's drinking that during the race and not after finishing.
>>142009715Sounds exactly like what I pay finnbert for
>>142009825Define modern. Super Costanza MOGS that geezer
>>142009825You are correct.
I wonder will people today look cool to people in 50 years time. Probably will. And the ones we think are cool now will just look old fashioned.
>>142010165No, we have a weak generation now which will lead to bad times. People of the future will NOT look kindly on poodle hair zoomers.
>>142009124Florida is the sunbelt garyteam, which people despise because they aren't true fans of the game but they just have money so gary wants to market the game to them.Edmonton might be tonight the first Canadian team to win the cup since Montreal did in 1993. They do have tons of bandwagonners though because they drafted the best player of all time a few years ago, and also they drafted Leon Draisaitl who's a pretty elite forward although not generational but close.I'd say the good guys are Edmonton, but Florida has a lot of Finns which I totally support

Okay consoomers I am trying a new training plan service - Join.ccThis seems to have some of the adaptive features that TrainerRoad had but it is easy to export to either my Wahoo or to Zwift since it works with Training Peaks. The interface is not as slick as TrainerRoad however.We will see, this one looks bretty gud
>>142017099Why do people get a kickr instead of just using a stationary bike. Seems like more effort..Also if a stationary bike works with swift it should work with training peaks right?
>>142017510i feel like this is an AI-generated (or Duvel-generated) post

>>142017099Been using join for over 2.5 years now, and my FTP is well over 300 now, so yes, do recommend.
>>142016042fixed it, don't ask what the problem was
>>142019936share with the berts, don't be proud or selfish
>>142018343>>142017099hm so you get training rides created for you that you can export to, say, zwift, but you still need zwift to run your kickr?

In 3 weeks I leave for a cycling trip to the mountains. I wasn't able to train as well as I hoped, or lose as much weight as I targeted last winter, but I did still train and lose weight so I am still reasonably pleased
>>142025390name a single Finnish rider>I can't
>"Why couldn't I win the Tour?", the climber opens in an interview with Helden magazine. "I think I can handle the battle for the yellow. I have looked around me carefully in recent years, I know how to behave in that role. During the race, but also on the bus. It's about exudes self-confidence," he continues.>The man from Colorado is not afraid of a clash with Vingegaard, as there was in the Vuelta with a dissatisfied Primoz Roglic. "Jonas and I can work well together, we will not make it a mutual battle. We will help each other where we can, especially in the final of the tough mountain stages and then the best at that moment will win."Sepp Kuss has absolutely lost his marbles
>"The competition is tougher than ever, but nothing is a given in Grand Tour cycling," he said. "We have been racing this season as the hunters not the hunted and that brings its own advantages. The Giro last month was a perfect example of how we love to race as a team - putting the pressure on, fighting for every opportunity, and taking chances, and it is how we plan to race in France over the coming weeks.Also Ineos is deluded, I don't think Thomas made a single attack the entire giro.

>>142030899Nobody believes him but I do think he himself believes it.His teammate almost won the dauphiné and the guy himself just fucked off out of the race without helping him, only to give some interviews about how he was the strongest in the vuelta and how he's gonna win the tour

>>142031748>>142031753>>142031757fuckthis is seriously bad news for Jonas
Total vismoid death, love to see it.Imagine having to call up bart lemond because your team has become so paper thin
>>142031919He never rides themIf he was any good at them then Lotto would use him in themThey don't so that must mean he's shit at it
>>142031929whyjust tell him to stick to uae trainsimple as
I would have picked gianni V, personally
>>142031943Don't think the dutch team can call him up
>>142031941Kuss could have been the guy closing down riders attacking like Ayuso or get Kuss to set a higher pace if jonas is feeling goodnow Jonas is more dependent on what UAE does and pace they set
>>142031941So who follows is Yates goes in front?
>>142031975jonas
Visma will have to ride more aggresivly now,they can not let UAE take control of a mountain stage, UAE will use their number against Jonas
acting like losing kuss is game overvingegor can win this shit without a team cartheres 2 tts, thats already 5mins right hereyates and other araps can have their fun in firenze, when they enter pyrenees it's thanks for playing
>>142027548>>142028584I just want to add structure to my rides during week. Weekend still about BIG rides, but during week I want some sort of plan and intervals mapped out for me.I just finished a 10 week plan I found on British cycling and had big fitness gains. Also, I can do structured riding indoors or out but it's nice having something that easily works with Zwift because I still do a day or two per week on trainer even in summer
>>142031941Kuss alone mogs the entire peloton but Jonas and Tadej it’s the last bit of pressure before he goes himself
>>142032012this is a good point that the early TT will create a gap between Jonas and Yatesbut most likely not Ayuso and /elite/

>Dries Van Gestel to Quick StepIt's safe to say the money at QS has run dry
>>142032408What treble
>>142032519Should have gone to Lotto
>>142031919I swear some people talk about cobbles like it's totally different and you need years of experience to be good on them when the reality is if you have the watts and not a serial chuter you'll be totally fine. And the Paris "cobbles" are a joke btw
>>142032172Cool.
>>142032552Especially now, with tubeless crap
>>142032030Last year Yates was regularly stronger than Kuss
>>141994632My sources were right, Jan HIRT indeed goes to the Le Tour
man I love the curse of the mount Teide. I keeps on giving.
Who the fuck is Jarrad Drizners
Do you think UAE will try some 4D chess and send lads up the road. Who chases if Ayuso or Yates or Joao keep attacking? Even better now when there is no Kuss.
>>142032691They will just do a leadout for Pogi as usual
>>142032691I mean why not?
>>142032710because this >>142032704lame
>>142032718Depens how sure they are that pogi is better than jonas I guess.
this is payback by the cycling gods for last years shameless juicing
>>142032691i think Pogi is too much of a competitive person to just see his team mate ride away into the sunset with the TDF winalso if one of Pogi's team mates get the jersey your numbers game gets nullified as you can't attack your own teammate who has the jersey (unless you are Visma in the Vuelta)
>>142032552Riding on proper cobbles is really hard though, mainly because you need a lot of watts to carry your speed which naturally benefits bigger riders. But I do agree light-ish riders with enough power can do just as well as the big guns, they just don't really seek out those races.If you don't think cobbles are completely different from asphalt or even gravel, though, you have never ridden actual cobbles with a roadbike
>>142032724even a tired Pogi is better than Yates and Ayuso in a GT
>>142032734They need to get Soler into yellow then we can have some fun. He's obviously too weak to win
people still get covid?
>>142032780noits an excuse
>>142032791booted from the team after his comments. who signs him next year?
>>142032770best thing would be to send someone like Ayuso or /elite/ with Soler in the breakaway on a mountain stage to stress Vismabut UAE are too retarded to use this tactic
>>142032815and they should try something in the first week to test Jonas. Even if they don't try funny tactics at least we know Pog will do crazy attacks
>>142032691Visma don't have anyone to respond with, QuickStep has Landismo and Bora has Hinlel and Vlasov who are both a step below /elite/ and the sheik.
>>142032848No problem boss we got this
If you're Pogi the correct strategy is try to take as much time as soon as possible anyway. There will be no tactics, the strongest will win like always
>>142032828i think Visma will only focus on Pogi like last year on the first stagesjust let someone like Yates or Ayuso get a front and let him cook in the heat on the last flat 20km on stage 1 and the last 10km on stage 2
>>142032885thisif UAE start clowing around with Yates and Ayuso and having Pogi be passive when they know for a fact that Jonas is the strongest by far in week 3
stage 1 already getting changed most likely
>>142032937>shitalians
>>142032828I agree with known knucklehead Horner that peloton will be going ballistic first few days to test Jonas's legs
>>142032937I can't believe we didn't see this comingAll the hilly and mountain stages in Week 1 and 2 are going to be neutralised or changed
Business idea: any elevation and distance removed from the route by way of route changes MUST be added back in a later stage

>>142035304Okay, I mean lets put aside that cycling is a very gay sport with the obsession over cycling fashion, very tight clothing that not many feel comfortable in etc. Lets half the estimation! Around 5 of the pros are gay men according to a gross underestimation, 5 men who feel they need to hide their identity to have a career. How many more are bisexual?Aids is a terrible point to make also. People who care more for their health and they're generally a less sociable type, aids is not a good indication of homosexuality in the peloton. I'd like the sport to be hospitable to gay men as it is to gay women and only then will we truly realise the extent of homosexuality in the peloton. As it stands, they're having to resort to cross dressing as each others' wives to make do.

>>142035918people that go pro pretty much keep their power into their 50s (if they are riding a good amount)they lose the ability to produce that power over long distances and a bit off the top end long effort power stays relatively the same for the first hour or two of riding
>>142036031ITS FAST
>>142036101sure never good at winning stages but a guy that podiums GC stages should be able to outride more than this
>>142036120>homieTake yourself back to /nba/ you stupid [redacted]
>>142036161it's that top-end power that fades when you're older, the sort of thing you need to ride away from your break compatriots at the end of a stage; maybe he should have tried going from farther out, but I dunno
>>142036136The most impressive thing about pro cyclists is they can smash crazy watts after riding hard all day. Any strong amateur can smash a KOM on fresh legs and a tailwind. Doing 6W/kg at the end of a 5 hour mountain stage is crazy
>>142035481>I'd like the sport to be hospitable to gay menwhy would you say such a thing?

The fact that the team does not have confidence in me is disappointing, I am honest. I have trained really hard for it in recent weeks.”>“I even went on an altitude internship on the Sierra Nevada again two years ago. My values are better than ever. Now the team is built more around our sprinter Mads Pedersen. Still, after Tao dropped out (referring to Tao Geoghegan Hart, who is still suffering too much from the consequences of his fall in the Critérium du Dauphiné, ed.) that - no matter how annoying it is for him - I would take his place to get."> My values are better than ever.why is this always the boomer cope, de gendt also spouts the same stuff your time is gone old man

>>142036991>My values are better than ever.They all say this once they hit 34 and then do fuck all. And what the fuck does he mean with 'I went on a training camp two years ago I should be on the team'? Is that a bad translation or did he really say that?
>>142037270oh that's a bad translation, he says that he even went on altitude camp again for the first time in 2 years
Those were the days...
>>142036991good news for our french friends though>The experienced climber is now going on holiday with his family to a campsite in France
>>142037299I thought they went on training camp every year on the serious teams. Anyway the only one he could replace is Julien Bernard. I doubt Ciccone will do well in GC so they could have brought old Moleman to do his own thing instead of an extra helper.Other riders I remember giving the 'best numbers' speech are de Gendt and Fuglsang so it's just codeword for being washed up.
>>142037582doesn't mads also despise training camps?
>>142036991You’re 37 mate sit the fuck down be glad you’re in a UWT team
>>142037847I'd say most riders would rather train from home. Especially those with families. Except maybe Contador
>>142037847I read his book that came out a couple years ago and I don't remember anything about that.Maybe he does hate them but I always simply assumed all top riders did training camps.Fairly certain Laporte said he went on altitude camp for the first time when joined Jumbo (tryhard team) from Cofidis (unserious team).
>>142038027>Continuing hard training, better nutrition management, better support in terms of riders... There's one aspect that hasn't been discussed. Teammate Mattias Skjelmose mentioned in an interview with this website that Lidl-Trek also plans to make a difference with altitude training camps. The problem is, Pedersen doesn't participate. "I f*cking hate it. No, I don't do it, even if my coach would say so. Even if I could gain two or three percent? I don’t give a f*ck," he says earnestly, but with a smile on his face. "I tried it once, somewhere in France, and it was the worst experience ever."
>>142038127>Why exactly? "I don't want to sit on top of a mountain for three weeks, not seeing my family. And then race, which means not seeing them for another four weeks. That's two months in total. I'm too much of a family man to sacrifice that. Taking the family to altitude isn't an option either. You have twelve-hour days there, which is not for them. It's better to be at home, where they have a life. I prefer to complete my training camps in Mallorca, in the sun, but not on top of a mountain."
>>142038127>>142038181Lmao based Fats. Probably less important to get altitude training for a fatso than a skelly climber. As long as he does regular training camps still.
