What the fuck happened yesterday
Today I saw two billboards with Pogacar on them.
Thank fuck la Volta begins soon so we can see some actually credible performances
>>142790333the best performance of this century
>>142790454And the second best perfomance of this century from a guy who was on the brink of death three months ago and spent several weeks in the ICU with numerous broken bones and a punctured lung.
>>142790558Weird how all the squeeking is only about Pog, through.
>>142790454>centuryYou mean ever
Anime
So uh, any squeaking yet about Pogacar being 4 minutes faster than Pantani (a BALDOPED rider) on Plateau de Beile?
>>142790558Can’t believe Remco beat Pantani’s record lol the entire top three is sulphuric
>>142790614nah I am however squeaking about Landa
>>142790569Desu, Vingegaard is just as bad, if not worse. Like, how can he say that he's at his best levelyet with that kind of preparation? But at least we get both of them at the same time, if not it would all be boring as fuck.
oh-oh
>>142790685I am squeaking about this
>>142790333Peak ciclismo
>>142790614no, nobody said a word
Performances above Lanterne rouge pink trendlinePantani: 9Ullrich: 3Pogacar: 2Vingegaard: 2Indurain: 1Evenepoel: 1Contador: 1Pantani still the goat
>>142790685I wonder who'll be the week 3 victims
>>142790839Wout
>>142790839visma agents from the spy van(we know they have one) should spread the virus in UAE bus aircon system
>>142790733Oh okay good, clean sport it is
Big news from the glorious nation of Kazakhstan
>will not go down without fighting. Mentally, I will never crack. I have not lost hope. We will keep hoping and tryingShould teach one things or two to wout
>>142790614https://x.com/festinaboy/status/1812510648720294082
>>142791155looks like im a chink missile now>article from CN archive . ph/gO5Mu
>>142791052yeah, not many sports can say thatwe're lucky
>>142791226Vayer coin mooning
lmao, cav absolutely gassed after yesterday. true hardman
>>142791315i also get sick sometimes when driving in a car through long winding roads
>>142791359some people really need to proof-read what they write before posting, i barely understood what that guy was trying to say
>>142790569I don't really get this either. Pogacar has been winning pretty much every race he entered since he was 11. Has massive palmares in the ameteur and junior races. Has been seen as a generational talent since his debut.Vingegaard did one huge Strava KoM, spent 2 years in the Pissma labs and suddenly became a 2x TdF winner.I know which makes me squeek most.
>>142791359kinda insane how backwards some pro sports/coaches still are in the training science and "marginal gains". Even in football things only have changed in the last 5-10 years at the top level
I have seen enoughLAFAY gets unleashed today
>>142790569>>142791571>>142790657they are probably both on the juice not that i care but Vingegaard glows 10x harder because as norge anon said he has no palmares at all and suddenly is the worlds best climber one year to the other at 24?
Squeak?https://x.com/L_Calmejane/status/1812565373356748998
Shan't be spending the rest day listening to sorryass squeakers. À bientôt
>>142791597>glowsAlso, how is he still so pale after two weeks?
>>142791629Today is a BIG day for squeaking
UAE is going to win team classification with 1+ hour. This must be the record
>>142791597Consider this: Jonas was always physically capable, but just wasn't a very good racer. He beat Bernal in an uphill TT in Romania in 2016 so clearly always had something.
ayuso said that from now on, he'll do whatever team says he has to doand we never saw him again
>>142791703team asked him to go home
So now Jonas spends the rest of the Tour in polka dots
>>142791729polka dots that arent even his, the kwabschke treatment if you will
>>142791693And he got beaten by a 45 year old Rebellin on the same stage
>>142791729jonas (best one) will take it back
Have you consumed this one yet?
>>142791747Wearing jerseys that are not ever yours needs to go awayAlternatively they could be worn by a team mate, but not by 2nd in the ranking
>>142791804what ifyou're the only one left from your team? who wears it then? directeur sportif? mechanic?
>>142791758Rebellin still had decent results that year, nothing to be ashamed of.
why isn't he forced to wear two jerseys at the same time, handicapping him for being a leader?
>>142791835That can happen nowadays too, right? You win stage 1 and also the only CAT 4 climb. Who wears it when you are the only one with KOM points.
>>142791804Wish they'd figure out some way to separate king of the mountains from the yellow jersey. But they are so entwined.
>>142791804agreed because this is some kind of humiliation ritual. Unless both riders have the same amount of points of course
>>142791693shouldnt it be the other way around then, physical gifted teens have a huge advantage over their peers in their early years which fades away later
>>142791874They need to give more points to car 4 and 3 and fewere points to HC and cat 1
we need some shaming jerseys back like black onemaybe brown one (worst sprinter)
>>142791575God I remember seeing a real madrid gym session video once and it was so laughably bad
>>142791804keep them for the boomers but you could indicate the real owner with additional dots/stripes of the color on the superior jerseye.g. yellow with red dots or green stripes
>>142790454Stage 8 2020 was close, but this is the best
keep it as it is nowbut you put big "property of tadej pogačar" sticker on the back
>>142791804New design for combined jerseys every year, paypigs would never.
>>142791972im interested in longlifety so i follow Bryan Johnson the obsessed boomer with his protocol where he spends millions on. His fitness training plan was/is shit and he diddnt even have a proper skin care routine in the beginning despite being responsible for around 80% of visible aging
>>142792015Top kek.
trivia question: what's the criteria for how a climb's category is graded after?
>>142792100old car with 2 horse power the difference in gearing is the rating for the mountain HC means it can’t get over the mountain
>>142792100Korean randomOur most precious Bertollo got aneurysm multiple times when the KOMs and their categories make no sense
>>142790685on any climb there's 100 screaming fans spitting directly into the faces of riders. sure, it is outdoors, but spit going into the face is intense viral load. that's the vector they need to be concerned about.
>>142792184those breton chips were spiked
>beats the record by 3'44"estrogen-protocol-sisters, they wouldn't dare, right? Remember what it did to paduni. The guy fell off of earth's face.
>>142791226screecher at it again
Didn't Jonas beat Pantani's time yesterday by 2 minutes as well? And after coming back from his injuries? Why is nobody squeaking about that
>>142792259And Remco by 1min as well, Landismo almost beat it
>B-B-BUT JONASpogachuds in desperate damage control
>>142792259Tbf it wasn't Pantani's most impressive record. Alpe d'Huez is another story but yesterday's Pogacar can beat it
>>142792015Bryan Johnson, the longevity guru, who took the fucking vaxx
>>142792344I wonder if ASO are brave enough to put Alpe d'Huez in the race in the coming years. That would truly be one for the ages
>>142792389Women are going up it in a month or so.
>>142792389Alpe TT like in 2004
>>142792425watch them be 5min slower than the amateur KOM in strava
>>142792427huez TT would be mutant kino
>>142792373did you take it, i managed to avoid it but had to take at least 50 swaps instead to work which where probably laced with asbestos and other shit
>>142792549business idea: all big climbs are now ITTs instead of regular stages
>>142792563Terrible
>>142792259that fraud Pantani was only 10 minutes faster than Cav on the climb
grug's kit looks great
>>142792579effay
I can see Netflix salivating over this, the squeaking is going to be so fucking loud
>>142792425>Women """"""grand"""""" tour de france avec Zwift>8 stages>3 of those are in N*therlands
Mikel Landa low key Pas Normal
>>142792579thats probably some trans flag
>>142792594He’s ready to claim a Vuelta
>>142792594been squeaking about him for ages (1 day)
We already have so many stories for next years Unchained>French breakaway wins>Black African Bini winning>Cavendish win>Remco win with smug Pat>Philipsen struggles but still wins 2 stages>Jonas beating Pog in a sprint>Pog breaking Jonas and records
>>142792592What? Didn't you like the grande giro where they couldn't even close a small gap because the teams are so weak?
>>142792298nah schizo poster >>142791359 is right. pog only just getting back to his actual level. both pog and jonas are legit.
>>142792596
>>142792617don't forget vaughters squeaking about jonas' and pogi's performances
>>142792579this is going too far. now teams not only do special kits for TdF, but also special training kits for rest days.
>>142792643some unholy nonbinary lesbian>symbol looks like a bicycle
>>142792692They've done it before
>>142792722how can lesbians be nonbinary?
>>142792590>French win in opening day, helped by a rookie>Cav wins record>Jappe is the bad guy sprinter again >But gets his comeuppance this year by relegation and by being outshone by Girmay>Muh African cycling>Big 4 present, Pogi dominates to take back crown (and all 4 from followed teams)>Remco's first tour, podium good result for QSNew season practically writes itself and prints money, only thing lacking so far is the mandatory ineos episode and ag2r/FDJ episode
>>142792617Sorry, hadn't read on to see you make a similar post. But yeah, 6 of the episodes are basically done now. >>142792778
>>142792692Commercial exposure at the tour is worth 4x more than during the rest of the season combined so of course they are going to milk every euro out that they can.
>>142792775from experts on the field>First of all non-binary people can have a gender or a mixture of gender, or no gender like you said.The official definition of lesbian is non-man loving non-men, as non-binary people are not male (non-men) they can be lesbians. Some may not feel comfortable with that term and might use different terms but lesbain includes non-binary people. A non-binary person who likes men can call themselves gay. Almost any sexuality includes non-binary people.
yeah, socks and bottles hehehe
>>142792562unvaxxed, untested, unmasked. was ready to lose everything when they rolled out the mandatory vaccinations in Austria
>>142792819they're just making shit up on a fly feels like

>>142792869
>>142792940>Remi Le LANDIS in the breakaway
>CAR, HUGE and RYAN are CEPEDA's most trusted gregariosgalácticos
BOUCHARD apparently on the Lafay program
Can you really call it a rest day if you spend the entire time with an IV in your arm?
>>142792778>only thing lacking so far is the mandatory ineos episode and ag2r/FDJ episodeMate the AG2R episode is written as well:Decathlon take over, successful season, French champion in the team, 3 French stage wins to build the hype, then> shit TT> 0 (zero) stage win> measly top 10
german U19 nationals last month.german cycling future looks promising
>>142793142
>>142793142bunch of roglics
>>142793142opiod crisis is getting out of hand
>Michael Rasmussen talked to Frans Maassen, who allegedly said that if this level from Pogacar continues, then he sees no one else winning the tour de france the next 5 years.
>>142793390>if this level continueshe will only get stronger! they will break the 7 watterinos up every climb soon
>>142793404Very pretty
>Vingegaard confirms to Danish TV2:>"I did the best performance I have ever done - by a large margin. I have improved. Yesterday I was better than I have ever been before. So Pogacar must be too."
>>142793459>I did the best performance I have ever done - by a large margin.Better than the infamous ITT last year?
Wout van Aert: “We wouldn't have been able to beat Pogacar even with Kuss and Kruijswijk”they admit their defeat, nice
>>142793511There's no scheming or tactics that defeats pure strength on a climb
>>142793496Most probably but I guess it's hard to compare ITT and road stage
BOUCHARD is a satellite for LAFAY
This is some of worst TV direction I've ever seen.
>>142793511what the fug does W*UT of all people know about race winningsepp KUSS alone would have made this a fair fight
>>142790226Beautiful.
Tomorrow
>>142793636Quebecois sprinteurs shall be feasting at this laughable parcoursWhy is this a week long race
>>142793059Fair enough, bit of a downer. Usually they contrast that with other french team doing surprisingly well. Maybe get Turgis Bardet and Vauqelin in there yeah
THE BEAST
>>142791315me after doing 1w/kg up a 2% gradient for 100m
>>142793636They sure like the town of Val d'Or
psychiatrist prescribing some quetiapine on super low doses. we'll see how it goes. she thinks adhd and tism are big issues for me than previously expected. idk I don't really care anymore either. thinks I'm self medicating by doing a lot of cycling. this drug meant to be a sedative and make me fat... if it impacts my performance it's getting FLUSHED. idk how I feel about it might kill my inner schizo who I'm very in touch with. I don't want to be a normie, they don't seem happy either.
>>142793712based king
>>142793774They are just trying to take your fren away
>>142793713I think it is the only town in that area of Quebec
LAFAY unleashed in 5 km
>>142791315I doubt there are any berts that could do 200km and 5000m climbing in 6 hrs
>>142793886there's a few here that compete at national level, they might be able to do this. but yeah, 99% in here certainly won't, myself included
>>142791226I hate that retard so fucking muchbut the thing I hate the most is that I absolutely love his username
>>142793886Would you do 200km and 0m climbing in 6 hrs? Solo
>>142793929
I hope Vingegaards takes all necessary measures to get to Pogacar's level for next year as well, meaning 7W/kg for 40 minutes day after day.
>>142793966I don't think I could do even that solo. That's 33km/h which is brisk
>>142793987As long as they both challenge each other the sky is the limit. If one of them plateaus or drops out progress will stop
CEPEDA THERMONUCLEAIRE
>>142794020Where is the recently injured Vinge? He also finished much faster than the time on left.
>>142794059come on bert, nobody cares about the loser who comes 70 seconds later
Decathlon super fan
>>142794020Pog's weight is probably wrong, wasn't it said that he lost 2-3 kg of weight even before the Tour started?
>>142793929Exact same for me. It's just a great handle no two ways about it
Cool comparison too
>>142794094for me? it's rysel VAN
another fake rider
>>142794151man were they slow in the late 90s, early 00s
>>142793966did it in zwift, does that count?

>>142792562I instantly bought QRcodes on the black market when it was the vax craze going around here so legally I'm triple dosed so I could still travel and live life. Never had symptoms either, even if I did I wouldve rather slept it off than go do the mucus swab thing, something about it made me really suspicious. I did up my garlic, vitamin C and niacin intake during the whole craze to be extra sure though. I remember talking to this bike messenger guy in late 2021 and he told me about how he could feel his everyday performance as a worker on the bike diminishing since he had to get the double pfizer. He's the one who introduced me to niacin cleansing, niacin + zone 2, niacin + sauna etc. to liberate heavy metals from your blood and other exogenous agents
>>142794397
>>142794316
>>142794457CAPRON still had his computer in the finish though
>>142794484hmmmm

>>142794505include a witty remark to cyc or rats
>>142790333peak dopage
>>142790569because fingergoo didn't do a season of classics and also demolish everyone at the Giro and is about 6kg heavier than tiny skeletor on a super steep climb
these geeks really use a computer while racing?what are they calculating, wind vectors and temperature sependent strain modulus?? just faking pedal harder NERD
>>142791359
>>142791315aren't they saying his time up the climb is sus af as in he probably held onto a car most of the way?
>>142792869Same, I did wear the mask for around two months, mainly to make me and the store grocery store jannies easy and skip pleasure of going at each other.But as soon as I saw the first guy didn't give a shit and the store janny did nothing either I said fuck it, he couldn't have been the first one if the janny is so passive.
>>142794538some ride without, like Moleman. but it is rarity
>>142794542The prophecy has been fulfilled
The only reason they beat Pantanis record is because of Ketone-IQ, right?
>>142794542>bannedbased knower
>>142792643humiliation ritual
>>142794542>that Ayuso call outa knower indeed
>>142794542based knower
>>142794151i feel like with these maps they should mark the sections where pogi/pantani were being paced and where they were solobeing behind big jorgensen and then jonas for a fair bit of the climb is surely not insignificant
>>142792869based af
>>142794676They rode this entire stage much harder than when they did a similar stage in '98Meaning Pantani would've been much fresher than Pog on this climb and still lost 3 min Its so fucking ridiculousPog is so gigadoped that he can race like a moron and not be punished for itWoW hE iS AmAzInG!!!
Compare how Gall looked after crossing the line yesterday with Pogacar. Insane that nobody is raiding his entire life right now
>>142790333>no sweat anywhere>looked like someone who just did a z2 group ridethis guy is doped to the gills
>>142794397Nice, my mum was working at the NHS and they said if all NHS workers do not take the vaccine by a certain date tehy all go on unpaid leave and then dismissal. She frantically went for a jab but couldn't get one on the last day. Morning of the day the news revealed the NHS isn't following through, the fuck can you treat your staff like that? Massive blackpill covid was, I hope society burns. Vast majority gladly took part in enforcing rules and taking jabs. Humanity is just cattle to be financially milked.
>>142791359>>142794542undeniable proof that my boy pog is CLEAN, it's all training and nutrition berts. Do not fall for my testosterone snake oil merchant, wagmi
>>142793511w*ut is the ultimate weakmind

>>142793511Wouldnt have been able to beat him with Lance, Pantani, Riis, Ulrich in their prime dopage either. I think Wout is hinting something here
>>142794542mou, come home
>>142794833.... I'm coming around to this despite being a hater... I'm thinking he's actually based. Very arrogant and deluded but DNFing after trying to fuck over pog is based. Wonder how the dude knew all this, must be very close to the team or has an insider who tells him. Everything in there is true, likely he underestimated some of those powers though I think.
>>142794542I love this sort of deranged ESL squeaking
>>142794833i hope punished ayuso spills the frijoles

This is pretty interesting, although that team idea is a bit of a meme. Also mentions how Pogi hid behind Majka and Yates, eating wind, while Jonas would stay behind van Hooydonck and Kelderman who are much bigger than him and only go behind Kuss when he really had to.

>>142800615yesfueling is huge, particularly for longer climbs, bending the curve upwards on the longer climbs as observed. most of the 'superhuman' performances occur on these longer efforts and that's a lot of fueling. training is about equal in magnitude but affects power more.
>>142795758kind of mad how long it took for cycling to commit fully to structured training and it was mostly just winging it

>>142801649I need cycling shorts/bibs Dygert short. Like half of thigh tops, preferably shorter, 5 inch running shorts are almost perfect length.Where get.
>>142801667Idk but a weakmind would've collapsed mentally the second it happened. Vingo and pog is a case of 'you vs the guy she tells you not to worry about'
>>142801667That really should have been enough to drop Pogi. How the FUCK is Jonas so good after we all watched him die live on television
>>142801720Lmao at the people still under rating Pogi. He's a league above everybody else riding today. He was out of form last year and the year before his team died he was riding solo.

>>142801741It really feels like living through an era of extreme brinksmanship. It started with the humiliating LPDBF TT in 2020, then the introduction of Jonas as a world beater, then the TT last year, now this. They are going to be insane next year

So wild that Jonas Vingegaard rates this year's Tour de France as the highest level seen before.>Yes, I would almost go so far as to say that.
