AG2R grand tour winners
>>143953238One of my favourite small races, along with nokere koerse
Just checked procyclingstats, because I was out for my own ride.Got honked by some wagie cagie on my way back.>O'Conner got the stage, but>that fucking time gapHoly shit, UAE and Bora and Jumbo refused to pull at all?If O'Conner is any decent shape he can manage this time gap until Madrid even if it's down to seconds by then.
The first post-hike ride is always a little struggle, but it was nicely fresh weatherI wish it was like this all summerI even saw people in long sleeves and long legs
>>143953363they refused to pull but also at the end they weren't really gaining at allo'coomer was very unclean today
OFFICIAL GC /bet/
>>143953363Blunder from UAE, Bora and Movistar for not working harder but also monstrous performance by Benoit. I hope he wins and dabs on these slurpers.
>>143953438Coomerbros the time is now
>>143953438>boc at 2.75 nowcan you short ciclismo bets??
And yes, as already discussed, by far the most tragic news is that LAFAY and GALL will now be chained as the most loyal gregarios to this dopeur
>Red Bull-BORA-Hansgrohe team manager Patxi Vila could not call himself a satisfied man afterwards. "It didn't go the way we wanted. The start was very fast and the breakaway of the day was very strong. Lipo was there. We thought he would have no problem staying with Ben and that we would still have an option for the final classification. What O'Connor did was incredible, I have rarely seen that. On the last climb he simply did not lose any time. I never expected that, it is really a surprise what he did." >The Bora team manager did have a plan ready. "The idea was that Lipo's presence in the leading group would get the other teams working, because they would not like it if we had another rider in the classification. But when O'Connor was so much stronger than I thought, it all got out of hand," he told Cyclingnews.
>>143953546This is all a lie, no team put the real domestique to work
>>143953546Liposhitz we fucked it up today Bora will never trust us again
>>143953461>overpriced BSOyeah no, bike shaped objects literally fall apart due to no fault of your own
>>143953581This.If Bora was serious they would burn Martinez and Vlasov. The fact there was 40 people finishing together on a mtf tells you all you need to know about how hard they went.
>>143953546I wonder how Roglic feels about this. They prioritized getting Lipowitz up in GC over protecting their main captain's lead.Vlasov and Martinez finished in the peloton and Lipowitz even finished ahead of them. Clearly they didn't try very hard to catch O'Connor.
>>143953665One reason is Roglic's back might actually be properly fucked and they don't trust him to stay in the race.
A close pass from a 4x4 in a dark tunnel that forced me into a patch of road so Belgian that I dropped my chain... Schizobrit was right about getting cameras. Maybe Schizobrit was right about everything all along
>>143953734>t. schizobrit
>>143953755that's standert brit
>>143953766
Ben O'Connor is a scrub, let be honest. There is more than enough time for roglic to bring him back. Not worried at all
>>143953791mostly the top 5 candidates that put themselves at an unnecessary 5 minute disadvantage
>>143953734Sorry to hear. They are fucking cunts, britain and america are the two western countries where cyclist deaths per capita are actually increasing! How fucking terrible, and it's attitudes not anything else. Get those cams, I tested my set up and it works great. Caught a close pass, shows how ridiculously close they came compared to the other cars. People do this on purpose, I reject any alternative explainations. I was looking back at taht vehicle and they still close passed, that's a sociopath behavior.Stay safe out there bert, there's nothing we can do other than report after the fact. Mind you that's if the bone idle police even lift a finger. Just hope it isn't ending in injury or worse. I was hit twice in 4 days this past week, thankfully light but purposeful. World has gone completely mental. My mental health nurse said road rage is very common in the mentally ill bacause they can inflict pain and suffering with very few consequences. Modern world is mental, these psychos would have been filtered out on some battlefield 1000 years ago, even less. Now they're part of 'society'.
There is more than enough time for roglic to chute
>>143953918Sure. But unfortunately for O'coomer Almeida and Mas are more then capable of overtaking him even with a dead Roglic.
>>143953791Ben O’Connor is not Odd Christian Eiking. So stupid to Pereiro him, though i suppose better on stage 6 than 16
>>143953948>Almeida >Overtaking He'll stick 5 meters behind him on every climb
>Pablito del Torres is winning l’AvenirAnother wonderkid for UAE
>>143953791>RoglicThis is the guy who almost never dropped all of his rivals on a single climb in his whole pro career
Jarnobros…
>>143954034They never learn...
>>143953791BOC will lose small chunks at a time but will lose on every hard stage plus the TT. 4th overall if he doesn't have a big crack
>roglic having to do more than sprint for bonus seconds and taking time in time trials>almeida the diesel having to set a rapid pace to crack O'connor >Mas attacking I don't know, they might have fucked up a little, luckily O'coomer is a weakmind when the pressure is on him he'll probably collapse spontaneously
>Named Jannik Sinner>Is a doping sinnerwow tennis world has the lamest scripts
>>143954076Did you miss how AG2R is on special dope this year. He wins easily
>>143954103eventually the quality mountain trains will crack ol Ben unless he has the form of his life
>>143954034famous french rider José Noirplus
>>143954110ah yes I remember AG2R doing obscenely filthy things at the giro. the same giro BOC was at and getting dropped by Hirt and Arseman and Bardet
>>143954137>the one runner they adopt is a fraud
>>143954104>Named Nada>Actually takes all of the dopeSometimes they subvert your expectations
> uran More like ufell lmaooooooooooooooo
>>143954204>this was his last race before retirement
>>143954110how does lavenu getting fired fit into all of this? was he the last bastion of honesty?
>7 stage long Grand Tour of Mongolie happened just when Autismbert was in Mongolia>he completely ignored itThere WILL be massive consequences
Even femmes version, won by suspiciously looking belgian girls

Hahaha.I picked Meintjes. Haha kill me now. I was sure he'd do well on a gc with such a weak field.
>>143954677>I picked Meintjes>I was sure xyzonly thing you can be sure about is disappointment
Pogacar should have just done this vuelta
I am still kinda shellshocked
>>143954831this triggers me as much as the Carcassone gravity. I hope on his deathbed his final words are fugg I wish I did the 2024 vuelta
>>143954275for real?this is madnessunless he took part in the race...
>>143954985
>>143954985Isn't he like 44 years old
>>143955018>>143955023I'm sorry I haven't paid full attention to the threads
>>143955018but 'tismbert was in chayna during those days.
>>143955099so he claimsdoesnt have to be truehe could have been anywhere like vingo post hospital release
where is chris horner video?he's probably mad he can't put the blame on knucklehead tactics
Just saw a guy loudly smooch up and try to be intimate for a good 10 minutes with a whore he just fucked on the backseat of his car.For a moment I thought it is his girlfriend or at least a girl he is having an affair with but as soon as she went away she was on her phone, talking, maybe going to another customer and I think this is the same one I have seen a few months ago.Don't do that berts, I know modernity is hard on all of us and some of us need a valve - good, pay a pro, do what you need to do and be done with it, feel shame and remorse about it.But this? One of the most pathetic things I have seen.
>>143955202
https://www.cyclingweekly.com/news/road-racing-in-wales-in-unsustainable-situation-governing-body-saysIs cycling (and most other recreational activities other than netflix and slop deliveries) dying in your country? This article is based on Welsh cycling but it represents british cycling as a whole. I'd say there are a third of the events there used to be 10 years ago, possibly even a quater. Society is dying.
>>143953601The van rysel craze is only a few months old. You'll see
>>143954362>Arvizhikhzhargal (Apвижихжapгaл) means "increased happiness" in Mongolian, from apвижих (arvijikh) meaning "to accumulate" and жapгaл (jargal) meaning "happiness, blessing".
>>143955202Where to find Polish whore/gf in America?
>>143955254no. probably 10x the number of races there were 10 years ago and 50x the number of casual riders.
>>143955291Just be a westoid for the easy ones, extra points for non-white.
>>143955265>ApвижихжapгaлCan you cast a spell for growing hair too?
>>143955202Such is life in Poland
>>143953546Man I wonder if Bora will surpass the €16,000 total in winnings they garnered from the TdF in La Vuelta? This team is fucked, Roglic will go elsewhere
>>143953734Fatmerican checking in, I would eat everything in this picture in one go.
>>143954164French team on the special dope in Italy and Spain. Makes you think.
>>143954838>Where do you see yourself in two years?
>>143955257Decathlon has been making bikes for longer than the van rysel craze
>>143955257with the RCR sure, but decathlon has had a track record of a few years now with the RC520 delivering some pretty good value when compared to traditional big bike. Those were definitely not BSOs. Sure they had some components on them that were a bit subpar but overall they were very good bikes that don't deserve to be lumped in with crap from Walmart and Canadian Tire or whatever yuro equivalent you have in Europe.
>>143955291Chicago
>>143955952they got a nice polish all you can eat buffet there as well on top of all the sausage joints
Ricky Tello lost 14 minutes today, which is nice.
FUCK W*UT
W*UT was the outright favourite for today's stage
Why so many stages in Andalucía? Do they want to kill the weaker riders with this climate? I'm happy because for once they're cycling on cities and sites I know pretty well, but it's weird to spend so kuch time at the south
>>143956348In Spain and America, the south is a shithole and the north is nice, yet in Germany and the UK, the north is a shithole and the north is nice. Very curious, much to look at
>>143956106
Bobby Olsen is the captain, he's the ox from HammelPim de Keysergracht is the sprinter, he's the kitty from Amsterdam
>>143956374>the north is a shithole and the north is nicei am not letting this one slip
>>143956762The UK North has all the soul, but it's also a shithole at the same time
>>143956762In Czechia there is no North or South, only East, and it is all shithole

>>143956997>Euros saying 7:30pm
>>143956374The north of Spain is nice because it's close to France, the south of the UK is a shit hole because it's close to France. America and Germany have no excuses.

Well berts I officially got the permanent teaching position at the uni, papers signed and all and I will start next January. Not that it's about money but I was also pleased to see a starting salary of 3800e per month and slightly more when I graduate.
>>143960423How does Matxin keep finding these kids?
>>143960708Congratulations professor FinBert.
>>143960708Is that a good wage in Finland? I have no frame of reference, hope you're getting the bag
>>143960702Is that you Dylan Johnson?
>>143960708Teaching seems like a great companion to the cyclismo lifestyle since you get the entire summer off
>>143960751>>143960900Thanks! I fully agree except that in the uni summer is more dedicated to research, but I'm sure there is also time for ciclismo>>143960884It's a fairly common starting wage when you've graduated as masters here, in the private sector you'd probably get 1k more. I was mostly expecting 400e less since uni wages are usually seen as bad
>>143959466It's too black
>>143960708Congrats, what's the teaching load?
>>143956997Yeah, I have a toothache and need to go to see the dentist, I'll be available by email though.>>143960708Very nice Bertele, I hope the students won't be too much of a nuisance to handle and that first real salary has to feel nice but also reminds you your "late teenage" years in school are done.

>>143961800Damn I never noticed that. I don't really care but it's true. I think I'll just scrape the royal sticker off the front one. I don't want to replace the rear wheel since it has my power tap in it.
>>143961800He wasn't fat probably 160 or so. He said he's the original owner and the bike came with the power tap, it's the specialized tarmac sl4 mid compact pro. I geuss he's a lying cocksucking normgroid

Should I get a dedicated bike for my kickr
How doped is he
Do I need to buy new presta valves for when I change my fucked up tires.
The long anticipated FTP test today. Whoop recover was 45%, awful. Legs still sort from easy day and a rest day? I have no idea but it's always like this when I have a day I need to be fresh for. 320w average for the 20 is the goal, I really do think I'll hit it. It will mark a good few months of progress and a bright off season. Maybe if I hit it today, next season early I'll be sniffing a 340w 20 minute. I don't think that's unrealistic. Started humble earlier this year, around 220w FTP.
>>143962450I got the Chad gp5000s baby. It'll be here in a week. Kickr will be had in 3 days. Now the real question .. Swift or trainer road

You guys ever go to like sunny spain or portugal in winter to ride in nice conditions (for the time of year)? Have lots of vacation days left this year, think I might consider doing that instead of just sitting at home for 2 weeks. would love some tips
>>143963579greece can be nice, avoid shit tourist places
>>143963592Greece is even less safe for cycling than Italy
>>143963579mallorca is the meta but if you're unlucky you get fucked it's rainy and sub 15 degrees there as well. Some ancientfags in my club winter somewhere in east Spain and last November to March it was perfect temperatures
>>143963465>>143963474im truly not frens. im 165 lbs. i could trim some fat but i wouldnt say overweight
>>143963507whats a good training plan? please help
>>143963579I stayed near these guys before. Big group rides 3 times a week. Anyone can just turn up and ride with them. Good weather all year round. But they don't do much climbing mostly flat stuff. It's a touristy area but that's what I like. https://grupolazenia.com/index.php/home-cycling
>>143963655Indeed, Alcudia is perfect for this but I wouldn't go later than November. Went last year and February and they've closed down the Tramuntana because of the storms, so I could only ride on the flats.
I am really burnt out. Guess that's why I am shitposting so much lately instead of doing tourist stuff. It is fucking 34 degrees here which is a lot cooler than I had before but still FUCKING hot. And Azerbaijan beer is fucking terrible.
>>143963680>set erg to 200>spin for 4 hours>repeat every day until spring
>>143963579For winter Costa del Sol is perfect location. Good weather year round, easy access since it's a vacation destination, plenty of accommodation options. Tenerife, Gran Canaria are other options but the islands are small for a two week bike trip and you'd end up on the same roads plenty.Mallorca is more of a fall/spring destination, winter weather there can be a bit shit.

>>143963919I know it could come off as I think you have never worked a day in your life, but not that, no, kek, by first real salary I have meant first salary approaching real life demands, allowing to make plans, make saving much faster and getting you out of the near minimum realm.If that's not exactly accurate then sorry, but that's what I meant.Felt very nice for me, that first slightly bigger paycheck.
20m went atrocious, had a feeling it would when I woke up feeling shite. Whoop agreed. Still did it out of impulse. Well below target, I couldn't even hit the 10 minute test numbers I did earlier this week for 5 minutes! 303 average, I was comfortably doing 10 minutes at 320w early this week, pitiful! 5 minute best today was only 315! I couldn't produce lactate, heart rate was low and I couldn't push on. Blew up mid way despite going out below my 10 minute test.I guess I have shitty fatigued legs, not recovered from Monday squats even. Whoop gave me 45% readiness which is lowest in a while but I don't see why. Starting with a coach next week, so I'm disappointed I can't go to him with new data.

On the other hand, the 73rd Grand Tour Cycliste International de la Guadeloupe starts tomorrowThis is always an extremely entertaining race that kicks off the autumn soul races in the carribean, mittelamerika and sudamerika.The startlist is a little weaker than last year, there's no Guam ex-cons from EuroCyclingTrips with Stefan BENNETT, there's no Movistar - Best PC so let's see if the last years winner Benjamin LE NY can repeat his stunning victory.

However for me my financial situation was very good already from other income and the slightly bigger monthly paycheck doesn't really affect it in any way, it's just a nice addition and in some way a measure of how much I am worth to my employer.

>>143965298>march>7 monthsI've been riding again for 4 months and after today's shocking FTP test, I'm confident I can do 315 at least only 12 more watts than I did on a bad day today. My 5 min best today wasn't even what my 10 minute sub maximum tests were earlier this week.So 15 watts more in 7 months? I don't think I'll struggle.>>143965337Yes the hammer, it's not a great trainer I do not recommend it. If you cana afford get a wattbike or the new wahoo stationary. I do not think trainers are a great investment. I use left hand stages gen 2 or something on both bikes, tehy're both similar and I believe accurate. 4iiii are probably better but assamo pedals are what we're getting, seen other berts rock them too and they're better and not unaffordable.Alternative to indoor trainer is rollers with resistence or a rower which is slightly different muscles but compliments cycling well as it works legs hard but opens the chest and strengthens back.

>>143965400wasnt your 20 minute FTP like 190watts? where are you getting that youre only 12 watts away from 330. and why is 330 so important, are you a freemason?Im not gonna get a whole stationary bike, they use too much room.

I guess you cannot afford it therefore a stationary is alright but a set of rollers with resistence generally is better for fitness and teaches really good form even experienced rides can benefit from.

>>143966585they did warn about it being a dangerous descent
>>143966587unironically the best grand tour because there is no script, it's ridiculously mountainous, heat makes people randomly die and everyone is desperate for a result to end the season
looks like roglic is leading the descent
>>143966060He's hurt retard And O'Connor always cracks and loses time eventually 2 more weeks

was really useful to keep lipowitz ahead yesterday only for him to get completely used up and discarded today for 6 bonus seconds
>>143966671how much did you bet on him??
topped these with fruit preserves
just noticed that mads WON
yesterday o'connor took time on roglic in a breakaway, and today roglic took back time in a boni sprint. that means it's 1-1
>>1439666866 seconds down only 285 to goall according to the Bora masterplan
>>143966719o'conner got an away goal therefore it's 1-1a

wout needs to bridge otherwise it'll just be counter attacks, he can beat soler in a sprint easy
LABRats sacrificing KUSSEN so van AERT can lose another sprintI think HORNER is once again losing his fight against aneurysm
kuss working for van aert, reminds me of all those times vingegaard did the same
van eetvelt will attack when it comes together and win
Kuss match burning too?
>>143966842Clearly Wout is the captain and Kussen is his hjælper.
>>143966832Yeah, Del Toro is launching as soon as Soler is caught
If W*ut fucks this up somehow that will be very funny
>>143966846yeah like that one time
kuss has absolutely no trust in his GC ambitions it seems

dubs were right this time
wout bros we are FEASTING
Vlasov better get a gift basket from Visma that was odd
lmao looked easy
What the fuck, did he pay Vlasov money or something
>>143966904he hates the French
>>143966911why not? you're there anyway, might as well pull
>>143966904because fuck uae that's whyuae on the peloton no win list>>143966922it's because sivakov is a deserter of russia
Still seething about that stupid ARENSMAN switch.
Where the fuck is Narvaez useless shitter
Good work from loyal teammate Kussen and dubious loyalty Vlasov.
>>143965844Digits never lie

>>143953151New thread when
Oh, you think cycling is just about riding a bike fast, huh? Let me tell you something, kid. Every pro cyclist only has a finite amount of "matches" to burn in their career. Yeah, you heard me right—MATCHES. It's not just about pedaling hard, it's about strategy, timing, and knowing when to light those metaphorical matches. You think you can just go full gas every race? LOL, good luck burning out before you even hit your prime.You see, these "matches" are like your explosive efforts, your sprints, your attacks, those all-out, lung-busting moments when you push beyond the brink. Every time you light one up, you're one step closer to burning out for good. That's why the legends, the true greats, they know how to save their matches for when it really counts. They wait, they watch, they make every match count.But you? You wanna blow your load early, go ahead. Burn all your matches in the first few seasons, try to win every crit, every KOM, every pointless sprint. See what happens. By the time you're 27, you'll be a washed-up has-been, reminiscing about that one year you went all out.Meanwhile, the real pros are still in the game, still stacking wins, because they didn't blow their load like some amateur. They know the truth: once your matches are gone, you're done. No amount of training, no fancy bike, no nutrition plan is gonna bring those matches back. So go ahead, light 'em up early. We'll see who's still around when the real races begin.
>>143966976yeah where the fuck was the entire jumbo team, g-sync toothese guys should survive that little hill of Wout can
would love to hear the jumbo radio in the last few km
And the Druivenkoers has been won by a trainee, Jelte KRIJNSEN whoever that is
>>143966994excuse me do not disrespect the Parkhotel Valkenburg LEGEND that is KRIJNSEN, winner of a stage in the schizodane tour
>>143966994Wait, that's the guy who also won a stage in Denmark out of nowhere right? What are they feeding him at Q?
Arensman +1:17, GREAT. Uijtdebroeks in a ditch somewhere, not in after 4 minutes
van aert in his interview very emotional about having a former grand tour winner pulling for him, says it's part of their team spirit and ethic and that he got goosebumps seeing the work kuss did

So far, Lipowitz has been a worse teammate than Ayuso at the Tour, desu
>>143967043>Boring Vuelta so far
Bora has completely lost it this vueltathey really used DNF and Lipo for those bonus seconds and then Vlasov to gift a win to WoutCarbonmonoxide gone wrong
>>143967020What the fuck is he ever doing anywhere.
Wout really did everything wrong today lol. But thanks to the genius of PATXI VILA he still wins
>>143967061it's what inevitably happens when you hire a movistar ds
>>143967061>LipoThe German fraud didn't even pull

>>143967092good
Back in the glory CX days when van aert started doing post-race cooldowns on the rollers (he was losing to MVDP every race), MVDP got annoyed because he wanted to get the podium ceremony over with quickly so he could go home and play fortnite and then they started putting a countdown timer next to van aert's rollers which made van aert seethe
Pinot was among the commentators for today's stage and he didn't do a bad job at it.
kino from kuss, makes me like him more
>>143967108Good to hear!
>>143967103
>>143967108Can't wait to see him attempt a final glorious TdF next year
And ehh Küng. Would it not be a good idea to attack against a peloton with no domestiques except Vlasov, and then stay away because you are a time trialist. So that you can win. Instead of sprinting to fourth place. Where you have zero chance to win. Or is that a CRAZY idea
>>143967061yeah leadership seems retarded as fuck, I have 0 faith in a bora victory
Why /cyc/ won't realise that wout is /ourguy/ rather than mvdp? Hardworking autist vs lazy arrogant cunt
>>143967134he only came back like 1km from the line alongside guys like Vacek
>>143967103Yeah that was funny. And then Wout was also the only one who didn't want to publish his blood values haha
>>143967148he can be your guy how about that
>>143967154D'rop en d'rover Renaat
>>143966987>We'll see who's still around when the real races begin.Well spoken. I shall surprise these fools in the 95+ age category.

the camerawork and direction really fucking sucks hard this vuelta only group they marked was Groves and there were to significant groups between him and the front and we never saw or knew of their existence.

Seems like Druivenkoers was a weird race from looking at the results.
oh I've been there, in their weird churchmosque thing

"When we got to the top I was pretty much isolated, which made it hard to manage the situation. But then Sepp Kuss helped. I don't know if people understand what it's like to do such a job when you weigh less than 60 kilograms. When Sepp took the lead, I was sitting on the wheel with goose bumps. Fortunately, I was able to finish it.""In our team it's not just about winning, but also about performing as a team. Everyone has to sacrifice themselves sometimes."“But the fact that the defending champion in this Vuelta works like this for me is a great example of our team philosophy,” Van Aert concluded.

>>143967557he could pass for kazah, I guess
Kinda cringe for wout to celebrate so much against plumbers and assassinated groves, no?
>>143967487There are no rampas in Tibet, at that altitude engines don't have enough oxigen so they lose a lot of horsepower, a full truck can't go on climbs over 3-4% so most of roads in Tibet are like stage 1, 100 km at 1%
>>143967622He hasn't won much lately and it was a big effort from Kuss as well. It's good to be happy about winning.
>>143966626so? Is this supposed to be a cope? Because if he's injured then why not have his TEAMMATES pace so that he doesn't have to go all out and risk losing. It makes absolutely no sense this "weird" cope™
>>143967435why do people hate on visma again? compared to others they feel like they are an actual team bora and uae are just mercenary groups
>>143967799>why do people hate on visma again?Mainly because they are succesful. But Plugge is also annoying as all fuck. I like Visma I just wish he would shut the fuck up forever.
>>143967799good take, jumbros are friends of cycling. arab sponsored teams with endless pockets like uae are absolutely soulless, they're so much worse than ineos/sky in the day. at least they had the le marginal gains larp they shilled. now it's just pogi turns up wins in sensationally predictable fashion, does a goofy face for the cameras and everyone claps. uae is reddit, jumbros are 4chan and bora le redbull are 9gag
>>143967799Where have you been the last few years....They have been smug as fuck in all interviews. We are the best in this and that etc. It got old really fast.
>>143967799meh today they felt like a team usually they have lots of drama to and then they’re dishonest about it
>>143967831>But Plugge
>>143967799The torpedo team. All the youngsters they pick turn out to be amazing. They even got a middling non-youngling like Laporte and made him look scary at times. Miss me with that shit.
>>143967914>All the youngsters they pick turn out to be amazing
>>143967799A bunch of smug, unlikeable cunts responsible for some of the most pas normal performances of the past 5 years. Also all their documentary and merchandise shit is obnoxious as fuck
>>143967799literally the beer police and smug as fuck. "Work like a team"? Lmao, literally last Vuelta they had the the biggest drama in a long time.
>>143967936>Also all their documentary and merchandise shit is obnoxious as fuck
>>143967936>a team without oil money tries to finance itself? the horror
Vingegaard, Wout and Kuss are some of the most likable riders in the peloton. They don't show off to cameras and they are honest in interviews. Now compare their conduct to poogacunt who is cocky and puts on a goofy act as well as does shit like pretend not to breathe on climbs, there's a big gap in likability of the riders. Visma are very likable and I'm happy when they win. UAE are cocky and arrogant. A team full of convicted dope doctors and arab money, the epitome of what is wrong with modern sports.
>>143967852>arab sponsored teams with endless pockets like uae are absolutely soulless, they're so much worse than ineos/sky in the daythose two entities are what made cycling a competitive sport with tight sport science and record pushing performances year after year.

I was reading about the clean tennis player they tried to frame for doping. Lucky for him a study had previously been done looking into contamination of the exact substance in the exact way he was contaminated! They put cream on their hands and shook hands with other people. The other people then all tested positive. Mental. How easy it would be to sabotage someone.
>>143968241Lmao
>>143967228I think this is the worst I've been ever c'est truly fini
>>143968241yeah, you can test positive for steroids if you eat meat that comes from mismanaged cattle, say it got a shot a few days before being butchered. With that being said, top athletes are pretty much all doping anyway. Just not with tren and 19nor steroids, that'd be dumb
>>143968312It would be very difficult to sabotage someone with contaminated meat. An absurdly convoluted plot. But one hand shake could end someone's career.
>>143968337>a convoluted plot
>>143968337>end someone's careerliterally every single runner that has done a 9.77 or under 100m has been tested positive and banned. Including Bolt (they just refused to retest). Not to mention china, russia, the whole sport of weightlifting. Yeah, if you are shit and a nobody that can't get a lawyer, then I guess the career could be over.
