>>142757829To be fair it was the francophones (France and what I presume is a Quebecois)
Being second is actually good
Imagine how bad it would be if England won....

>>142760056Kek, the wrath of the mountainDe Lie instantly turned good again once he denounced altitude camps
For me, it's Speegosh
Fuck Sky
>>142760194dont get why sprinters go to altitude camps anyway, bunch of wasted time. 90% of a sprinter's workouts should be on the rapemachine doing sprints are on the gym doing squats
>Lance: "This guy, who looks suspiciously like Jonathan Vaughters, was drunk and throwing chips on riders"kek
>>142760695A lot of the value is just from being there with all the facilities. The problem is they made him do 5000m vm training rides ( they fired his trainer)

>memco is a better climber than Pantaniwat nou
>Why do I do it? Why do I cycle?
>>142761454It's a little sad, actually. The end of an era. We always looked at Pantani as this unreachable pinnacle of climbing ability right at the limits of human physiology. Now he's mortal again
>>142758183rude
>>142761533we see how shell shocked vingo and remco are but try to imagine the viner

I hope to have the will power not to watch this DOPAGE fest in the upcoming week, it's a waste of time you could spend riding a bike yourself, or doing just about anything else really.
who is the ralf schumacher of cycling?
I think the worst is over. They can't attack us anymore.
>>142762138You can also watch AND ride your bike

for me? one certain KUSS sepp
Remco was impressive today. Never tought he'd be this good in high mountains. I apologise.
>>142761705>>142758183
>>142762967>still having to share Surely we deserve a place of our own by now.
>>142762882Indeed, respect.
>>142762138how about I watch and dont ride a bike or do anything elsecheck mate
>>142763217Yes, well, you are the farthest away from the dopage smelling squeakers this way
>>142762667he deserves a better team
Do tactics matter at all on a big mountain day like today? Basically all that mattered was W/Kg on final climb.Is there any example in history of an obviously weaker rider stealing a win from a strong rider on a big mountain day due to superior tactics? And I'm not talking about a breakaway win, I'm talking about GC guys going head to head
Remember Felix Gall?
>>142763217Yes well the Finns rarely show up in the summer months. They simply post ridiculous 5h trainer sessions in February
>>142759113vaxxed
>>142763376What about a weaker GC guy riding away because he's no threat
>>142763376nop the redpill take is that tactics never matter, only strength. Know who agrees? Pog, his words exactly
Roglic kinda lucky that he could dip out with his honor somewhat intact, before this weekend.
>>142763551From the guy that lost the tour two years in a row due to tactics, while being the strongest rider. Sure
>>142763552He would be around Memco +/- to be honest, at least some fight would still be interesting
>>142763677Last year was a great example. He nickel and dimed a bunch of boni seconds but when it came down to ITT and the queen stage, he got smoked and lost the Tour.
>>142763677>pogacar is the strongest >vingegaard pushed a lot more w/kg on multiple occasions in 2022 and 2023go to sleep ya drunkard
week 3 just started btw
Remember to rest berts
>>142763758I don't accept any w/kg divination, it is complete bullshit.
>>142763869climb times? vingo straight up dropping pogacar? itt times? Are you of the big stupide or something? Go to bed
>>142758541can't people just have a glass of wine over a good dinner on weekends?these posts are so retarded
>No pain or irritated skin after 2 hours on the trainer with new bike fit
>>142764337guess you will be back then, just like he predicted
>>142764283As someone who literally cannot do that, the answer is no for some people. People like us think the idea of people just having a glass of wine is insane. It makes no sense to us. Brain just programmed differently
>>142764337>ridicules himself for paypigging a bike fit>it actually fixes all his problems and improves his life just as intendedwhat did you mean by this
>>142760929why would you do that to a sprinter? to lose muscle? poor fellow
>>142764283Its like why can't berts just shitpost once in a while during off season for fun?But then you have the anglo-germanics that simply cannot stop schizoposting to save their life.
>>142763682No. He wouldn't have top 10'd today
>>142764443all a question of discipline and willpower
>>142763217imagine you share with a cute finngolian girl who you can go on a ride with and who lets you sex here from a time to time

Hol up how did Girmay make it over the first climb 7km 8% and the pace was rapid. Sus as fuckNoted for future adjustments
>>142764695I don't know. Brain chemistry is very powerful. Some people are just depressed. Some people are addicts. Some people enjoy discussing cycling on a Mongolian crab fishing forum.Anyway cyclisme
>>142764819there's probably a reason why no camera shots of the grupetto are ever seen. Just ramping cheating to let the "important" riders get to time cutoff
>>142764748>post retarded shit>get rekt by reply>WHY ARE YOU SO MEAN BRO STOP AHHH
>>142764923Many such cases. I really do not engage with Danes anymore. Yet another case of aberrant brain chemistry leading to bizarre behavior.
I see Wiggo is doing a full interview with Lance on his main podcast. Should get some good stories about being bankrupt and losing the plot
>>142764923Yeah describes it pretty well. I'm sorry you feel I'm mean, just banter.
>>142765087I'm surprised how insightful he is on those podcasts.
>>142765102Lance is? I've never listened. He doesn't seem like he would be. He rambles and isn't very articulate on The Move
>>142765065A wise decision
>>142764872But wouldn't law abiding squeakers squeak on them? Just like last year when the innocent grandes were caught taking the fake taxi up the Stelvio
>>142765337Supposedly every sprint team cheats whenever they can when it comes to mountains so it's some kind of mutually assured destruction stalemate where nobody dares move on the competition. Source is twitter hearsay make of that what you will
>>142765498What about the spectators lined up the passos? Surely they would gladly snitch for twitter watch or two
>>142765619yes...curious. Kinda ruins the entire theory because no way people wouldn't film this
Posting again for newfriends.The likes of Bernal, Roglic, Carapaz and Co can only get a GT win if the other 3 don't participate or abandon.
Waiting for a new category
>>142763376"tactics" do matter as long as they are evenly matched or with different strengths. Fishboyo has better recovery, so they made the race hard when they won. This year they don't have the team so they will likely lose. Like rog was too easy on pog and then lost on the TT in 2020. But yeah, no tactics will make memco win against Poh of fish
This was a disaster tooOnly first column is still remotely possible and only if Mads shows in form at Vuelta and we count Memco as honorary french
Jonas will test positive for covid and pull out of the race within the next 72 hours
>>142766442Don't bother, he'll just freak out and spam you with greentext.

>>142765188No, Wiggo. Lance is useless.>>142766476different burger BUT NEVER TALK TO ME AGAIN YOU USELESS PIECE OF SHIT (or whatever that dude was sperging out)
>>142766471>The only remotely possible chance for Bingo is that Autismbert gets married and SUPERLOPEZ somehow gets vindicated and wins stage at the La Vuelta
almost burger hours
>>142766797lol you seem assblasted. Why are you such a bitch, burgers are usually chill.
>>142765188he's good at shilling overpriced supplements better than alex jones even
>>142766542I have no memory of this happening. This is one of those Mandela effect things
>>142766999once again, different burger.>>142767009>alex jonesspeaking of bloated alcoholics
>>142767015nobody watched that race so nobody discussed it here. Lipowitz 3rd? crazy
>>142767015Non-attention payers discovered LIPOWITZ that race
>>142767052>once again, different burger.Are you dumb? That makes no difference on you being bitch.
>>142767009>dopeur>shilling fda approved supplements with limited efficacy who's the target audience for this exactly? It's like when Poh was shilling royal jelly
Vuelta is my favorite GT
>>142767256Vuelta is goofy, Giro is a soulful playground for lesser gods to shine, but the Tour is obviously above and beyond all other races
>>142763376I'd say tactics do matter, but it's mostly about not making mistakes (like Pogi on the Granon stage 2022, Quick Step letting Kuss in the breakaway in last years Vuelta or Pogi attacking too early and bonking on stage 11 this year).
>>142767256Vuelta like any fiery pussy latina is good for the drama. Like when ROG was a retard or pissma almost imploded
remember when remco lost 27 minutes on a single GT stage as a GC favorite
>>142767504I want to go back
>>142767541soon
>>142767525I seem to remember him being dropped even before sprinters like Groves
>>142767525Tried delaying coming to Fr*nce for as long as possible

surely week 4 will be too much for pog to handlejonas bros, we still can win
I disagree with the shenanigans currently occurring in the world of professional cycling
>>142766066Other 3 clearly being Kuss, pog and fishboy
Spainbros, would you rather win the Euro or Landismo the Tour
I like Sep Kus and hoping he may do good again in the vuelta de losVuelta de Espagnole
>>142769628you jest but week 3 fishboy is no joke
