My ride yesterday, never knew I had a bona fide hors categorie (catégorie) climb in my area.>>150508116bull on bull action
>>150508925poor horse
>>150491351This climb looks like it belongs 150k from the finish. However, maybe its a Mads day?
It's less than 60F this morning
>>150509119Kek.Jannys will have to work overtime to clean it up before the race gets there.
>>150509119Verwenden von Kennzeichen verfassungswidriger Organisationen, get ready to raid Eurosport Germany
tour of middle east geopolitics
i swear to god that if anyone from this break wins the stage im gonna go fucking insane
>>150509119looking on twatter it seems like jannies have spotted it kek
>>150509388No one from GC cares about the stage and troon will keep his red. 100% they'll win unless someone fights to get in the break
>>150508934Not exactly a top jockey. >>150509388100% a break win, but won’t even be a fun shitter or soulful PT runner.

>Lidl - Trek pulling in pelotonTHERE IS HOPE
>>150509530you mean 2 days ago, yesterday he "dropped" himself on purpose
/elite/ lurking Jonas intervies lel
based TREK closing down the breakaway so Mads can those 20 sprint points
how did vuelta manage to make such boring stages, they copy pasted 4 stages with flats for 140km and then 1-2 "hard" climbs at the end.
>>150509580The only explanaition is they had hoped both Dopacar and Vingegaard would be on the start and didn't want the La Vuelta ciclista to be over after stage 5
>>150509614these are exactly the type of stages that would help pogi tho, he would put 2-3 minutes on everyone in these stages
>>150509580Atleast put an extremely hard climb at the end if you are going to make such stages. 20% rampas inhumanas.
>>150509626not on 5% gradients
Imagine the eggs. Imagine the tissue swelling. Imagine the musk.
>>150509635That would be the classic unipuerto Vuelta stage. Instead we have like climbs that belong in some .Pro midweek stage race. >>150509626If Pog could put 3 minutes into elite on this limp climb that would be his most doped performance yet.
Comments, tubelesssisters?
>>150509707>it's really tubeless blowoutI fucking knew it
>>150509707This has Mossad written all over it.
>>150509646>>150509688I meant 2-3 minutes after the 3 consecutive stages that look like this
Guess who is the North Italian and who is the Sicilian here
>>150509769In that case I agree completely.
>>150509724Do we know for sure? Maybe Black Inc wheels just suck and disintegrate for no reason.
>Spanish Rai
>brown tiles rooftopshome...
Grug is racing btw
>>150509937>Do we know for sure?of course not. and I doubt they will ever tell us
>>150510063Froome would say it if he thought it wasHe can lead the class action lawsuit
Every night as I close my eyes I dream of the day when Providence will shine on young Kevin and he will finally rise to the top step of the podium. Mother of god, does he love being in the break.
>>150510153unless they offer him stakes like it was last time he complained about safety of disk brakes
>>150510255he's a multi millionaire and retiring. if he thinks this serious crash was caused by unsafe equipment he owes it to every other rider to shout it from the rooftops
>Hessmann
>>150509119kino
Campenaerts' accent is cartoonishly Belgian
didn't realize Hessmann is so tall. thought he was a climber goblin
we also live in Bretagne
PS2 landscapes, we meet again
rain
>>150510303He could stop the slaughter and become St. Froomey and everyone would forget the last 6 seasons of slurp.
>>150510303Dude is greedy AF though. Got silenced quite fast on the d*sc matter
Moto camera right over the ground. Kino shot. >>150510303Time has softened most people’s perception of Froome I think, but I can think of few riders less hungry to sell out and cash in whenever possible.
Why is Milan ducking Maigner and Delel
just look at this nothingburger climb
of course giga slurpage without pogi
>>150511853Big TDF has infiltrated the other grand tours and is sabotaging them with shitty routes.
The last above average Vuelta was 2019. It has always been forgettable ever since
>>150512112The Remco one was good because it was Remco. The MAL one where he spazzed out was good too. They had rampas every stage it seemed.
>>150512148MAL is what made grand tours of the late 2010's interesting
Pinchazoooooo
fuck I didnt even realize Froomedawg rode in the Tour de Pologne when I attended the TT. As such I came too late to see the GOAT's last race. Bummer. I'm never going tubeless that's for sure
grug 6th placeno chute catastrophique today, just some sketchy riding here and there
>>150512673He's washed
>>150512673He Is a real one for this whole XC thing and I'm tired of pretending he's not
CHUTE COMICALE
Damn, that chute could have taken out a Visma rider if we were more lucky
remember when Jonas won almost 45 seconds on a 5km climb in 2023 Vueltawhere the fuck is that Jonas at
>>150513374He's thinking he could be fixing his kitchen
am i awake i am awake
>last 2km tailwind inhumanasliterally no excuse not to attack today

Some people say I never attack. I always smile at that opinion. Was my assault on the great Giulio Ciccone an insignificant attack?

is there anything better than mountain stage finish with rain/mistalways KINO as fuck
almeida not even trying
>>150514378he was almost there he could’ve followed that
First time Vingegaard drops everyone on a climb since Monte Petrano in Tirreno 2024

almeida LOL
the victory is nice for vingegaard but the HUGE moral victory of not taking the red jersey is far more significant. he clearly slowed down to not gap torsten traen
>mountain stage after a rest day
Vingo lost 10s in the final km. Washed?
Nice tête
Pogi would of won by 5 minutes
top 10
>
Barré will win
40 wins for Jonas
>>150491255I would say that almeida is the winner of the day, he knew he can't be vinge without a half decent team so at least he gapped everyone and now he's pretty sure of second place
G1 syndrome
>>150514786GC
Jonas would not have won if Ayuso had helped Almeida today
2nd WT win in a row for De Lie. Where is Rusbert?
De Lie wins
Oh no no no rusbertbros
apologize rusbert
>>150514946Right in time for the rest day thread
>>150514946>Bretagne sprint finishslurpagenot a real edition win
>>150514858At least it's actually easy to figure out what is UAE's plan this time. Almeida will secure 2nd in his sleep even without any help, so the plan is really to pray that something goes wrong with Jonas until the end of the race and farming wins in the meantime.
>>150514943forgot bretagne was today
>>150514981Jeanniere is a proper racer
>>150514981what a lame top 10looks like it was a real snoozer

>>150514946Well well well, our boy is winning WT stage races and 6th monuments now
for the restday thread rusbertnever ever apologies to these De Mong chuds
btw, jonas will easily win the green
>Jonas Vingegaard set today A NEW CLIMBING RECORD on Valdezcaray: 25 min 54 sec. He was 4 minutes faster than Garcia and Roche in 2012, flying up the climb at 31 km/h!
I think Rusbert needs to remember the amount of agro he receives from the local Danes, I don't reckon he'll see fit to reward them
>>150515094>Torstein Træen 2 minutes faster than the record
my dear berts, we don't even need a dedicated rest day thread at this pace
i dont think axelgod have ever been so WRONG
>>150515132
>>150514946APOLOGIZE
>>150515128just make one anyway

>>150515276chuddie, marcos gracia won the grandiose tour of japan and nicolas roche won a tdf stage in 2009

/CYC/ CHAMPIONSHIP 2025VUELTA A ESPANAstage 9
>>150515305uae teams have been extremely dogshit in the past years, this year pogi only had yatesi and soler (lmao) for climbs, theoretically almeira has achooso and soler, but achooso is such a fucking loser, i don't get what he really wants. if you don't help anyone and drop yourself in the first 10 seconds, no one will ever take you seriously, why wouldn't you help almeida a bit to at least get better teams like lidl interested in you. why would anyone want to go from uae to movistar, the contract is probably shitter and you won't have anyone to help you do anything
>>150515319Roche never won a TdF stage thoughever
>>150515394should've believed in Jeanniere dammit. almost picked him
Mads in verde
>>150515455Me and Patjebert in disbelief.No reason for this race with this profile to end with a bunch sprint.
what a headline lmao
>>150515487Even Viviani won this race
>>150515503damn didnt know that Jonas is THE only rider on Vismainsane
>>150515539Reading comprehension
>>150515433yeah, I misread, he got 2nd place in one stage>>150515503who even writes these
a little more info for record instead of Roche and someone else lol
my gosh, give up already
>>150515537Yes, when it was easier, all next editions were won by a puncheur or the punchiest one from a small group.Now, on the hardest route since years the whole peloton arrives. I demand a rerun of velodrama.

>>150516082
>>150515132absolute slander. he literally says right there that is for a breakaway win
What was Ciccone's plan?Seriously, he cannot ride for GC, just go for the KOM.Would be Kino, him versus Ayuso for the mountains jersey.
>>150517530He thought he was someone for dropping burrito a couple of times
>>150515751i wonder who the fuck will really hire him after this year, he's a total douchebag and so egotistic after winning barely anything in his career
>>150517744movistar is the only option
>>150517795Ayuso might one day be a GT winner but itwon't be with that garbage team of jobbers.
Girmay hasn't won a single race this year LOL
>>150518277if he wants a better team he will have to behave
>>150518377I feel like he would be an upgrade to the GT roster at INEOS or Bahrain. Don't know if those teams are quietly shutting down or what.
Ajhooozøh to Lidl. Mads could make a fine young man out of him.
TRVTH SVPERNOVA
>>1505184752bh I'm pretty sure Ineos got like 2 seasons left top. now that Brailsford has returned, maybe there's some hope but not too much. Ineos is losing interest in cycling and as overall economic situation in UK isn't good to put it mildly, cycling team may be first in line to be cut from spending.
>>150515104there only one rusbert hating dane
>>150518622Almeida doesn't deserve such abysmal treatment
>>150518290DEI is dead
>>150518764Add to that the total loss in identity, particularly the fact it's a british team with so few british riders. There is no justification to keep funding this team as a british sponsor, at all. I had said it will not exist, or at least as a british licence, by 2030. That's looking far more likely every season. A monumental cock up in a long line of them for cycling in britain.
>>150517530sure he can ride for GC but following the fish was delusion. be like Onley riding for GC in the tdf and chasing down a Pog attack. know your level
>>150518290180 UCI points today. genuinely not an insignificant result. these Wanty frauds need every point they than scavenge.
>>150519049I saw, that's big for them but I thought they are merging? I assume that's not happening at this point or we'd have heard more of this.Q36.5 are doing extremely well, and if Pidshart actually pulls through they're looking at a significant placing on the rankings.

>>150521335There was no reason for Pidcock to work with him. If it was Roglic, maybe, but still probably not. Almeida is out and out favourite for 2nd. It is always on his shoulders. Not tiny little nobody dude from a PRT team lmao. Not like he'd get much shelter from him either.
If UAE didn't get the gift of poogacar they'd be in the dumps like they were pre 2020. With shitters like Dan Martin. They'd be Bahrain but worse. The most retarded team behind movistar. It they didn't have an outrageous budget they'd be completely irrelevant.

Well we have completed the first week of a MIDDLING Grand Tour and that means it is time to catch up on our SENSATIONAL series of /WORLD TOUR WINE/ !!I have been out of the /wtw/ office for the last week so a few bottles today to catch up. Rest assured, these bottles were actually drank the day of the appropriate stage, so hold your complaints to the board of directors. Stage 5 of the Vuelta FINALLY involves some Spanish soil, but we have a bit of a cheeky wine here to celebrate the prolonged Grand Depart. The ITT is around the city of Figueres, the capital of Alt Emporda, and we have a wine from Alt Emporda to enjoy.RIM Vins de Jordi Esteve "Contraban" 2021 ($36)So this is a blend of Grenacha and Muscat d'Alexandria made in petillant naturel-style (please refer to former editions of /wtw/) with very natural vinification - unfined, unfiltered, unsulfured. Almost of the fruit is grown in Emporda proper, but there is a little bit of fruit from a friend's vineyard in Roussillon, hence the name 'Contraban' (it was previously illegal to trade across border during reign of Franco).Pours a light red/ruby with some cloudiness and effervescence. The nose is initially super wild and barnyard but blew off pretty quickly. Nose has ripe red fruit of rhubarb and strawberry with some funky herbaceousness, super interesting. Palate is light and sparkly with lightly drying tannins around the crunchy fruit core. There's some rough edges here with the brett and funk, but it is pleasant. Perfect for sitting around a fire in the late summer, went well with BBQ chicken. I apologize for the out-of-focus picture, I believe I was quite drunk by this point.

>>150535866Im still on neetbucks, you dont need covid for that.Just like froome I just peddle around here and there, do an occasional chute znd collect gibs

>>150537426incredible
>>150537348its Ayuso Visma time the ultimate betrayel
>>150537348So, what's his plan for the Vuelta now?A) DNSB) Continue stage hunting on his ownC) Actually work a bit to impress potential new employersD) Say fuck it and pull for Ciccone or Vingo/close down all Almeida moves
is Lidl retarded enough to pick up that little rat?
>>150537527stage huntingi want to see Ayuso vs Vine breakaway battle royal
Are Lidl smart enough to pick up that brave young warrior?
>>150537426I mean it went from 40€ per year to 180 to watch cyclismo. Worst part about it they cancelled it just like that and said fuck you
>>150537348imagine my shock

Is Cringegaard the worst champion in cycling?He's got to be the most boring, uninteresting, no fun one of them all
my theory is that ayuso is severely behind in development and cannot be told to do anything for others. this is a 5-6yo behaviour. i wouldn't be surprised if he didn't share his food or bottles either
The "Mou was right jar" is becoming full
SO WHAT ABOUT TOMORROW JONAS? HUH?IS THE STAGE TOO EASY SO YOU PLAY DEFENSIVE OR TOO HARD SO YOU'LL JUST SAVE ENERGY
>>150537348I'm opting out of Ayuso. It was a big mistake to take him to the Vuelta after all the noise all season. what a waste of talent
>>150538501They did this to make maxtin happy
>>150538656But this probably means he's gone too
>>150538198
really shitty situation for Almeida. little rat refuses to work for him to the point of breaking off contract early, sex offender wasting himself chasing points, the rest of mountain domestics are just useless.
>>150538680and good fucking riddance. one less bald fraud
All of this, because he refused to work for Pog last year
>>150538786Turns out sometimes you need to do your job

Some (un)expected news has ROCKED the World Tour peloton! The only way we can wrap our heads around this VERY shocking news is with another sensational /WORLD TOUR WINE/ !!This bottle marks the ninth stage of the Vuelta, which snakes along the valley between the Ebro River and the Sierra de Cebollera in the Northern Iberian Mountains. This is Rioja, one of Spain's greatest wine regions. It is famous for its complex, age-worthy red wines made chiefly of Tempranillo, heavily barrel-aged (usually in American oak). We have previously enjoyed a very nice bottle of Rioja Tinto in the Itzulia Basque Country but today are trying something a bit different.Cuentavinas Arriscado 2023 ($115)This is a blend of Garnacha Blanca, Tempranillo, and Viura old vines on mostly limestone soil in San Vicente de la Sonsieera. This is apparently biodynamic. It pours a pale yellow. The nose is extremely clean, really no oak to discern. There is light pineapple fruit and wet stone. The palate is medium, rounded but with a nice acidity that just cuts through the fat. The wine is profoundly mineral, with echoing stone.For the price, this is really too simple. It is finely built and the minerality is beautiful but there is very little interesting about this. Apparently prices shot up massively after a good review from the Wine Advocate for the 2022 vintage, but this is a bit of a disappointment.
>>150539010Do you ever tap out if its not your taste or do you finish all of these bottles? This one in particular sounds like it would be best to poor down the drain after a full glass.
>>150539010that's good looking fucking wine I'd drink that bottle in half an hour
>>150539072what a soulless team, every rider would be better of somewhere else
>>150539072
>>150539084>do you finish all of these bottleskek, have you never heard of alcoholism?
>>150539072>>150539111
>>150539111
>>150539084I never really pour it out unless it's flawed or something truly horrible (someone "gifted" me a bottle of bourbon barrel-aged wine once). This isn't bad by any means but it's just definitely not worth >$50. Oftentimes, these underwhelming wines I will actually drink way more slowly to see how it changes over hours to days, to see whether it opens up with time and air.
>>150539072At least Froome's ineios embraced their villian role and just went with it. These guys have no idea they're the bad guys.
>>150539288Yeah Visma are still the bad guys tho
