Rewatching the race it's kinda funny to see Pogacar going full fas on the climb at 78k to go with Sivakov while the peloton is chilling 1min behind
>>144771743she just needs a little bit more time at "altitude"
>>144771800ynr gee went on his first "altitude camp" ever before the dauphiné
>>144771820crazy how that boosted him but de lie and the lab rats got rekt by it
>>144771841de lie is never going back he said lel, and judging by strava he only trains around Liege anymore
>>144771840lmaonow a ranking where De Lie is on top
>>144771840surprised carlos rodriguez isn't on here
>>144771853Surely a week or 2 in Spain during the winter is better then freezing your ass off in the cold and rain in Belgium. I imagine you can get a lot more training done.
>>144771963maybe he'll go to calpe like some of the others but he's never setting foot on the accursed mountain anymore
>>144771963teide is cold usually they ride in sub 10° up there and other altitude camps in spain like sierra nevada are even colder, snow covered even
BUSINESS PLAN: Build a BIG winter (aka summer) training center in the Kiwi Alps, bribe some local natives with liquor and just asphalt the shit out of some passos (protected by national park but fuck that). Have all the cycling teams pay for winter (aka summer) camps there.
>Be out of town for a few days>Don't check /cyc/>Read thru archived threads to not be accused of not paying attention >Schizobrit is off his meds just as the cycling season is ending >Schizoburger continues to avoid band and spam threads with pictures of feetGrim off season ahead
> “It’s hard to describe how strong he is,” last year’s world champion Mathieu van der Poel said with a shake of the head just a few minutes after finishing in third place in Zurich this weekend.>“If anyone is surprised that Pogačar won this race then I don’t think they follow cycling,” America’s Quinn Simmons stated after the finish. “I did 7000 kilojoules today, so you tell me if the race was difficult. My teammate Matteo [Jorgenson] told me before the race that he tried to follow Pogačar once and said that ‘when you go too close to the sun you get burnt, and today I got burnt.’”>“I think it was a pretty tough moment in the race with 100km left to go, everyone was thinking it's too much to do,” Ireland’s Ben Healy said. “He went, and I don't think anyone expected it. Then it was the whole Belgian team chasing them down, so I think with 100km left everyone thought it was a bit much, even for Tadej. He proved us wrong again.”>Remco Evenepoel of Belgium agreed with Healy's sentiment: "Tadej was on a special day, in some races you would say this was easily controlled, but the moment he went, I was saying to Mathieu that it was a suicide move and that everything was going to come back together. In the end, he rode as fast as we did at the back.">“There’s not one guy that can follow Pogačar,” Oscar Onley of Great Britain explained, shaking his head. “I didn't even know he'd gone, to be honest. It's just really impressive what he does, today and the whole year. It's another level.”>“He’s stronger than ever, this is just the beginning,” Van der Poel commented. “He is a deserved world champion. If you see his season, he’s the one who deserves to wear it. It's going to be good to watch. After the race, I told him he was crazy. But everyone is happy with him as a world champion and for me, it’s nice for the best rider in the world to wear the jersey.”the best cyclist in history?
>>144772102>when you go too close to the sun you get burntIs tdf form Vinge the only that can follow Pogi without blowing apart?
>>144772102He needs to have like three more seasons like this to be in discussion vs Merckx or Armstrong
>>144772127not anymore apparently, post Z2 pogi is a different beast
>>144772127Grug in top form on favorable parcours, see MSR this year or WC last year
>>144772102>I did 7000 kilojoules todaywhy not saying calories?
>>144772147>TFW you burn 7000 calories covering 2000 furlongs and 4000 yds of vert while chugging gallons of pop
>>144772147cal is just a bastard unit like them burger things
>>144771963he’s born and molded in bastogne, liege is fair sissy weather mate
>>144772147Because calorie is imprecise. Do you want the large calorie or the gram calorie? The question should be why would you ever say calorie when you can use SI units?
>>144772179mmmm mold
>>144772147Because 7000kJ is about 1700Kcal, which isn't actually that much so doesn't sound as impressive.

>>144772301chunky
>>144772301that seatpost gives me nightmares
>>144772147>>144772257Probably meant 7000 kJ of energy _produced_, which (with around 25% muscle efficiency) burns 7000kcal for the body. (1kcal approx 4kJ)t. not that kind of doctor

he didn't chute. great achievement.

joined the ciclismo ultras next>>144772370AI number plates are hated all around Switzerland. they actually stand for the Canton of Appenzell Innerhoden, because car rental companies have their cars registered there. not too many people are actually living there, so it's usually a tourist driving these cars driving like a retard. there's really no need to drive a car as a tourist in Switzerland, every corner is served by public transport, get a Swiss travel pass or Interrail/Eurail pass.

not many football stadiums left with a standing tribune that goes along the football pitch, very cool. and they even play in the highest league. in modern stadiums the standing areas are behind the goals and just have space for the ultras.>>144772480there actually is, yes. there's a reason you can see the bear benis depicted on their flags.
>But the Slovenian, who is just 26 years old, is good across generations. Earlier this year he won the Giro d’Italia and the Tour de France, and with the World Championships added to that, it is the Triple Crown of Cycling: world champion, winning the Tour and a second Grand Tour in one year. Only three riders came before him: living legend Eddy Merckx (1974), Stephen Roche (1987) and Annemiek van Vleuten (2022).>Annemiek van Vleutenlel

>>144771531updates from the belgian salt mines>National coach Sven Vanthourenhout: “When the large group with Tratnik and De Plus rode away and had a lead of more than two minutes, Jasper Stuyven dropped down to ask if they should start riding. I said that it wasn’t necessary, but that they should be alert for Pogacar’s crossing".>Tiesj Benoot (Het Laatste Nieuws): “At the start of the third-to-last lap, I saw Slovenia accelerating at the front of the peloton. I looked back and didn’t see Remco, so I dropped down to go and look for him. That’s why I was too far. We weren’t completely attentive at that moment. A mistake on our part. We halved the difference and closed the gap to within half a minute. Remco was still quite relaxed at that time. But I have to admit that I didn’t have my best legs.”>Quinten Hermans: “[I didn't respond] Because it was my job to surround Remco until we would show our cards for the first time with three laps to go... When Pogacar attacks, you shouldn’t hesitate".>Tim Wellens: “We should have been more up front when Tadej attacked… Just before the World Championships, I went to train with Tadej in Monaco. He said then that he wouldn’t wait until the final lap. I thought he was joking.”>Jasper Stuyven: “On this tough course – in retrospect too difficult for me – that (chasing, ed.) was only possible in the three flat kilometers towards the finish. With my last bit of strength, I managed to reach Remco and told him what Sven had said.”>Maxim Van Gils: “I tried to get Remco as close as possible so that he could jump, but my legs filled up pretty quickly. I didn’t have a super day,”
>>144774365The truth is remco wasn't good enough yesterday. No way he finishes with grug and skuijns on the course like that if he is at his TDF level.

Meanwhile Wout won E3, Coppa Bernocchi and KBK
>“The security services travelled over the course after the race, searched for her and then found her in the forest,” explained Rolf Jäger, spokesman for the Zurich Public Prosecutor’s Office. During the race itself, there was no rescue operation at all. It was only when the Swiss Federation asked the organisers where their rider was half an hour after the finish that the alarm bells went off. Further investigation into the fatal accident is still ongoing.surely something will change now, imagine this being your kid
>>144775620they’re also pretty cheap

>>144777529Good on you breaking the cycle.
>>144776553dream bigger lad
>>144776416terrible and all that it is, it was more of a freak one off accident.
>>144777657it's an accident that would be easy to prevent in the future if all bikes had cheap transponders on them — it's just a sport, no one should be dying for it
>>144777839Why are you assuming she wasn't basically dead right away and that she bled out or something
>>144777881Cause they worked on her all night in the hospital.
>>144777881Im more pro transponders than radio desu. No radio can make things more unpredictable and spontaneous. With transponders a team can still keep track of their riders. A Nibali inhumane acceleration can be easily spotted (and proven).And of Vine decides to go of a cliff (he will), you can pinpoint him quickly in the bushes.

Hello Berts I've just returned from the Kinographie, it cost me $0 because I didn't buy any popcorn or soda like they thought I would
>>144776416What do you even do about this. I guess those GPS localizers that berts talked about are the best solution that does exactly what you need and is not a logistic nightmare that will never be perfect.

>>144786186Would like for them to take atleast some action and responsibility.Remember that massive self jerk off session they had for the chicane in Roubaix. Now that rats have jumped the ship and are in hiding.Yes it's a freak accident but if I go off the road alone my garmin can send an emergency text so someone comes looking for me, should be no reason a transponder can't do the same
Can they even affrod to say no to phil?

>>144786947>fried chicken baguette from 7/11do europoors really? thats not even food
>>1447872937-11 is dogshit and overpricedi would rather eat at mcdonalds here
>>144774514they are worth 12c, US version with high glucose-fructose amalgam probably even lesshope your liver is ok, it might still be time to drop the habit
>>144787341that fried chicken baguette is 7/11 tier. my chicken curry kicks its ass>>144787371its the german one fren. it has the label all in german with an english sticker pasted over with nutritional info for legality. and my liver is great, i dont drink and ate that candybar for 3 days.
>>144787395ok great, just tryna make sure berts avoid that fructose poisonhave an acquaintance that was doing alpine climbing and ate those "sports" candybars for years, got ridden with liver malfunction...that being said, I used to really like hazelnut and raising milka back when I was a kid, munched up a half a medium bar in one go and that gave me terrible acute pain in my teethI don't eat sweets anymore thoughever
>>144787395>that fried chicken baguette is 7/11 tierhow would you know?I think the standard for ingredients is a tad higher than in the US
>>144786614After listening to him commentating on eurosport yeah it would be a terrible idea to have him as coach
>>144787418thanks fren, i should introduce you to french veganbert. he subsists solely on brown sugar and fruit when hes not accosting boys at swimming pools. your fren was probably a big drinker, a lot of those extreme sports/marathon people party too hard.>>144787432to be fair i dont im just going by looks alone, but it is a fried chicken sandwich. where did you buy this pierre baguette?

>>144787851I bought one for me mother. Looks really good to me. And the gears in the hub. No problems at all with it after a year of use. Thinking about getting the same one for myself.

In 3-4 years, when the generation of SEIXAS, WIDAR, HANSEN, TORRES, ALVAREZ, SUMPIK, PESCADOR come out of age, no one will remember the frauds like Pogachud or Dopegaard anymore. They will be just a footnote at the bottom of the fraud gallery.
>>144788287all but 1 of these guys have been confirmed as frauds this season
>>144788255i make 1 chicken breast at a time. my recipe: cook chopped onion in medium saucepan in butter for about 10 minutes until golden brown. add pataks hot curry paste, however spicy you want it, i add a couple tablespoons, and 1/4 cup water to onions. cook until water is gone, then add sliced chicken breast pieces (seasoned with salt and chili powder, you could use curry powder here tho but not neccesary) to curry sauce/onions. add 1/3 to 1/2 cup water. you could add tomato paste to thicken it here but its good either way. i also add brown sugar on top to give some sweet to the spice. cook for about 10-15 minutes until water is boiled down. restaurant quality fren. costs 4-6 dollars depending on chicken quality.
>>144788302also: brown the chicken pieces for a couple minutes before adding second helping of water.
>>144788295which one

>>144788661>normies too silly to figure out how gear shifting works and that gearing makes riding easierAnyhow always figured that automatic shifting for some real world erg mode is the endgame for groupsets.

>>144788814At least they make me feel like I got insane acceleration every day at the traffic lights.
CHUTE
>>144788814I shit you not I had a mate who did the same with a twist. He bought a 2x mtb and the mtb was permanently stuck in the big ring because the previous owner for some reason had the front derailleur in the big ring position when he connected the shift cable so shifter in the small ring position had derailleur in the big ring. Shifting up did nothing because the derailleur couldn't move any further obviouslyBizarre
this canadian zoomer is truly the next August.
Found this young lad on strava up on the leaderboards. Never heard of him before. He's 18 riding for some amateur club below conti level. Looking at a few of his rides he has one where he was testing his max power for 1 minute and 3 minutes. HOWEVER, he hides power on strava. Man that's more embarrassing than being a wattlet. Who are you hiding it from? seems strong enough anyway.

Speaking of Czechia, I am at the moment re-reading The Good Soldier Svejk by Jaroslav Hasek and I would recommend it to every bert here. Very good absurd dark humour, you will understand the Central European character much better after it
>>144789082>Czechia>Central Europe>Character
de wereld is omzeep
>>144789091>mystery meat educating the Berts on Europe again
>>144789082I rate Szwejk very much, although I have only seen the movie, but hašekists and hrabalists here are the most insufferable midwit snobs.The equivalent of westoids for whom Bukowski is the best writer ever and Big Lebowski is a masterpiece.

>>144789138I haven't read much Polish literature, but I really really like Witold Gombrowicz, especially Ferdydurke. Now that is surely one of the best novels of the 20th century, criminally underrated.
JONAS!
>>144789155Ferdydurke was a very fun read, a great surprise in high school after a slew of long, descriptive, boring positivist books about how bad it was for the commoner.An old acquaintance of mine, one of those snobby midwits who love Lebowski, recommended me as a top priority to read Bobkowski, "Wartime Diaries" which are supposedly a very good and prescient bunch of reflections about, hm, wartime reality but especially Polish soul and his own journeys.It won't be a fun and witty read like a Gombrowicz, I don't think so at least, way more of literature of fact/diaries but it has the makings of a good book.Recommending because I haven't read anything Polish or in Polish for a while now.
>>144789273Thanks, I'll add that to my reading list! After Svejk I am re-reading Musil's Man Without Qualities though, following Ferdydurke and Broch's Sleepwalkers. Something about the early 20th century Central European experience is fascinating.
