>AS writes that Tadej Pogacar keeps calendar open regarding races after Tour de France. Canadian 1-day events are not locked in & there is 'a real possibility' that Pogacar will be in Vuelta a España. Decisions will not be made before TDF, just like in 2025.
>>155147927>>155147939No posts for hours though. Can’t blame that on soccer
>>155148013blame burgers. other berts need their beauty sleep
if you can't beat them, join them
>“My recovery from the Itzulia crash wasn’t as quick as I had hoped, but it wasn’t especially slow either. I couldn’t ride my bike or do any strength training for two and a half weeks. Once I got back, though, I returned to a good level quite quickly. Still, I don’t feel I’m where I should be at this point in the season, with just a few weeks to go before the Tour.>“I spent nine days in Granada, which isn’t as many as some people might think. At first, I took it easy and adapted to the altitude. Then I started doing some efforts, but nothing too intense… a few sprints and short workouts of two to four minutes. After TARA, I will head to Isola for another 10 days.”>“I’m really happy to have this special black Colnago bike in the team. It’s only a paint job, but it means a lot to me. The team always does special things for me, which I really appreciate.”>“Paul Seixas a very strong rider. I have no doubt he’ll be at a high level in both TARA and the Tour. He’s always shown that he wants to be there and is always willing to fight. I see him as a super-competitive guy who can’t wait to get to the front.”
>>155148483everyone calls it TARAthat's it. it's settledwould have preferred AURA myself
how dare they put someone on the same level as Seixas
>>155148483In 2024 he had already won Giro and Tour, and hinted at his team saying his teammates did their chances to win too.In 2025 he had a knee issue, and also would have had to face Vingegaard.This year Vingegaard won't be in Spain, but how he feels after the 21st stage of the Tour, is of course unknown. Del Toro is by UAE's internal rules too young to race two GTs and is scheduled to race the Tour. Almeida is currently sick, will skip the Tour, and is preparing for Vuelta. Again, we must wait if Almeida gets better.
>DNS VAN AERT Wout
Wout doesnt care about mountains. After PR he's into ego mode and will ride for himself only. Fishboy can fuck off, were going for stages and green.Also fuck footy, if you watch this circus you're probably a fat drunk balding man acting like a girl online
>>155149687Sorry to target you like this Irishbert, but it's simply the truth
Mega happenings in Dauphine, 60 man breakaway
>>155120191>Henri-François Renard-Haquin got a yellow card according to PCSUnauthorised feeding was the reason give btw
>"The wound is not healing. It is a mystery to us why it is suddenly worse now than earlier this week. He is now traveling back to Belgium, where he will undergo further medical tests at the hospital," said Wynants.>Mixed feelings. He is happy with the victory, but there are also concerns. Perhaps the inflammation is also the cause of his poorer form. In any case, this is not ideal heading into the Tour.Van Aert was normally going to prepare for the Tour de France in Tignes; does this injury disrupt the plans?>"First we need to see that the elbow recovers, and then it's step by step. After that, we'll draw up the schedule again," concludes Wynants.

fookin size of that breakwent for a swim in the sea. red flag is up because of shit in the water. always happens when it rains
4 minutes and and infinite amount of riders that can pull, what were they thinking in 2nd peloton?

>>155151718Do you potato naggers dump your feces straight into the sea untreated?
>>155152147When I was about 15yo I was doing a swim in the sea and a solid turd floated right in front of me. I have never been out of the water faster and I have never swum in the sea again.Later I saw some parent let her toddler take a dump into one of those toy buckets, so now I know how the turds get into the sea.
so who's winning?
some big names that were in tete already lachés, your cosnefrauds, your mauris, your veristoffers and the list goes on

>>155152713Yep, Tour and everything else will be a repeat of last years. Dats the cold hard truth
>>155152885Kek.Gets funnier with every new angle.
>>155152694If he had the energy to do all that he should have just sprinted harder
quite a toll today
>>155152147I don't know. it's not actual lumps of shit just high bacteria. nobody obeys the red flags. In spain the lifeguards stop you from getting in the water.
>Oscar Onley +29m17s
>>155153054This
>>155152458supertuckwell
What if I told you that ALMEIDA is in this race?
>>155153140Still finished the stage ahead of:>Buitrago>Bilbao>Onley>Healy
>The national team also has Alexander Salby, and there is no doubt that on paper he is a better bet than Haugsted, but for the sake of the future, it is Haugsted who gets the chance. Michael Mørkøv indicates, however, that Salby has a free role, and with the sprints he has done in Asia, he certainly has potential for speed in an easy race like this. If he is to manage completely on his own, however, it will probably take a small miracle if he is to sit well enough to make a result. When he sprinted in Europe, it was already often the positioning and at least not the speed that was difficult.
>>155153030it really does
>>155153126>supertuckverboten
crime news from Australia:>Southern Australia Police said officers stopped a 36-year-old man from Medindie shortly after 4 pm on Thursday after observing him driving a vehicle, with two children as passengers. The vehicle was impounded for 28 days, and the former professional cyclist will be summoned to appear in court at a later date. Earlier this year he was handed a suspended prison sentence and five-year driving disqualification. The man describes his car as an "absolute weapon".
>>155153302>banned from driving>drive in a way that catches the attention of the police
>>155153302oh man, who could that be
>>155153302Meaning he might get locked up? What an absolute retard.
Not trying to hijack but is virtual cycling like Zwift as fun as it looks?> /v/ is that wayYes I know but those fuckers don't exercise or know what cycling is.
>>155153543>funno, it's torture
>>155153543It's is BIG funAlso torture
Danebros...........Kim Larsen was ROBBED
>>155153543FYI this general refers to it as "rape"
>>155153543It gets boring very fast for most people. But it's good for winter training and if you want to do structured training blocks with resistance it's very useful. Being on a hometrainer is just a very hard mental exercise
that would be truly the end of an era. is it recession sign?
So Onley didn die?
>>155154064more like Oscar Lonely
>“The wound is not healing,” team director Maarten Wynants told Sporza. “We do not really understand why it has suddenly become worse than it was earlier this week. He will now go back to Belgium, where further medical tests will be carried out in hospital.”>Van Aert crashed on his time trial bike on 1 June and started the race with visible strapping on his elbow and knee. At first, the damage appeared to be under control. Earlier in the week, Van Aert said he did not expect the injuries to trouble him too much, but according to Wynants, the elbow had already become a concern during Thursday’s stage.https://www.domestiquecycling.com/en/news/the-wound-is-not-healing-van-aert-faces-tour-de-france-concern-after-dauphine-exit/

If Johannessen is so mad about coming second, why did he then open his sprint too early?
top fucking kek
>>155156651Terminal case of weakmind
Tuckwell will win GC btw
>>155157742Nah.Tomorrow is harder than it looks and Sunday is a proper big mountains day. I reckon If Dechatlon/ UAE / Visms go full gas they can get that time back.
>>155152803what I'm going to do tomorrow if this thread dies again bump
>>155164673Burgers are letting us down, they need to keep it going through /burgerhours/. Where have they all gone?
>>155164919You know how they are, don't care about anything but themselves
>>155165303Maybe all the burger berts have been ICE'd and coal rolled to death. Cyclist are like the most hated group of people over there.
>>155165379It's also one of the whitest sports so I don't think they'd get ICE'd.
Im watching Ponies. Not too bad but it isn't cyclismo.
Has luke tuckwell been given a witty unoriginal name yet? I nominate puke cucksmells.
>>155166448Tuckwell is pretty funny as is
>>155154064>ONLEY Oscar (Netcompany INEOS) will not appear at the start.Guy can't catch a break.

>The Finish: the Grand Colombier again, but there are four ways up and this is the directissime route from Arvière, a village until recently known as Virieu. 8.4km at 10.2% is hard if it was just a steady road but the difficulty here comes with the irregularity, there’s a long section at 15% and other parts at 18%-20% in the first half of the climb. The saving grace for riders is it’s in shaded by woodland.still perturbed as to why they never used this route before

How dumb is Del Toro. He lost 3s doing that gay celebration
>>155190296What a lazy lad, he already slept in that bush
Ayuso's English is really good I'm impressed
>>155190400your camera AI can overcorrect the leafs to look artificial and unnatural, but not the femmes
>>155190419It means "head of the race" in Spanish
>>155190419>I feel like a retardkek
>>155190419He used to live in the US
>I feel like a retard.
>>155190440honestly i dont know why the camera picture quality is so shitdogshit Samsung phones i guess lol
>>155190452Oh now I remember the bee doping.
top 10
>>155190419meanwhile Paul from Laredo, Texas doesn't have an American accent.
>>155190498Uno-X looking good for another 7th place.
>>155190520Confident celebration for a GC runner who is not leading the GC.
>>155190452Funny how he's already coping:>I went too early, otherwise I totally would have won.No, Del Toro was simply stronger.
Stolen from the other place...
Seixas is too tall for stage races he should focus on one day races
i like del toro
>>155190599certified chute merchant

>>155190599>road book said big climb>so I did
this dogshit sprint race aint gonna survive another 5 yearsholy shit its lame as fuck
wiebeswinslol
Wiebeswinslol
What an unpredictable result...
I wonder how Balsamo feels about hard fact that she only had her wins in Giro because they DSQd Wiebes
>>155191642smugbtw what a furiously weak sprint from her
missed the death of Seixas because I was too busy dying myself. too old for this shit
>>155191353Nobody wanted this race except for a couple of local politicians.
Weak watts on Grand Colombier. A non injured Seixas would have put a minute on Del Toro
>>155191832It's great seeing this kind of energy from french berts. French cycling is so back
>>155191721had a bit of a drink last night I'm guessing?
>>155191709One of these days they should just put a time gap for a good measure
Could anyone give me some buying advice?One of our main bridges has been closed of due to being in danger of collaps, so instead of being in traffic for 1+ hour I want to ride my bike instead, its about 40km in total id have to ride daily.Having done this for a few weeks now I realized my old bike (15+ years old) is too much of a pain to use because of all the rust and broken gears so i want to buy a new one.Having said this, I have no idea what to look out for in a bike, what sort of bike and what not.I want to be as fast as possible but also dont want to spent a fortune on it, 2000€ would be the max. id like to spend.
>>155192898Dont' buy carbon for communing. Look for something with audax/randonneuring geometry.
>>155192898unironically just go to decathlon and see what they have. they're very sensible about bikes. I would go for endurance. this one looks in your range.
>>155192898option 1: have your bike overhauled in a bike shop, maybe have them change the group set/gearing to something like Shimano Cues. your bike is actually fine, but just needs some love.option 2: get a gravel bike. they are versatile enough, you can use them on weekends as you will get the bike bug anyways, for 1000 Euros you get a variety of options of either aluminium or steel frame bikes. ride comfort can be achieved with wider tires and lower tire pressure. try some different models first, you are going to spend a lot of money, so get the sizing right first. some bike brands to consider:(budget: Cube, Decathlon, Surely, Kona; mid-budget: Canyon, Rose)option 3: get an e-bike and let the motor do the work for you, not that you would need it in flat Bonn, but summer is going to get hot.
I just ate half a kg of filet américain. When will the proteins start working?
>>155192898As long as the frame isnt broken in half, you can fix everything cheaper than buying a new one. Especially for just commuting, itll get stolen anyways
>>155193351I don't like americans, but I still don't think you should eat them.
>>155193012>audax/randonneuring>endurance>gravelThe many names of "I have a stiff back".
>>155190624been saying this. in optimization era I doubt he can win. history means nothing when everyone can watt max and it just becomes a genetics contest where being around 1.7-1.8 m is optimal. Roglic, Jonas, Pog.
did you read the seixas flash interview? some big emotions>"It is my mistake, I have no excuses for it. I went too fast into a corner. I wanted to gain positions without exerting myself; there is no strategy without risk. I took too much risk. I misjudged a corner and rode into a rider. I want to apologize to all the riders I put in danger. It is entirely my fault.>"For a moment I thought I couldn't go on," says the Frenchman, meanwhile with a bandage on his arm. "I was completely distraught. I was afraid I had seriously injured myself. I told myself it was over. "I couldn't put my hands on the handlebars; they were covered in blood. I was wearing gloves, but my hands are severely damaged. Without gloves, I wouldn't have been able to leave."Finally, Seixas also thanked his team extensively, who brought him back to the peloton before the Colombier. >Those guys are crazy. They did a huge job. I gave everything until the end, for those five guys who sacrificed themselves for me. They could have left me behind and I wouldn't have complained. That was all I deserved. They should know that I love them all.
>>155194852may DNS tomorrow
>>155190624>>155194320Seixas is only as tall as the likes of Froome, Dumoulin and Bardet
>>155195005that's beginning of optimization era. They set the ground for the current era. Froome and Dumoulin wouldn't even be in top 10 based on numbers today. There are many great riders but physics is real.
>>155193351>The entire digestion process—from the time you swallow food to when waste is eliminated—takes 24 to 72 hours, with an average whole-gut transit time of about 28 to 40 hours
>>155194883he should nothing to win only to lose tomorrow
>>155195197Dropping would be a bitch (remco) move. He'll ride
>>155195005Also as Indurain, if PCS is to be trusted.
being 2 meters tall is the best ciclismo physiqueyou might squeak and disagree, but it is the truth
>>155194883DNS'ing would be the smart move.
>>155195525Wrong purely on how the bike looks like
>>155195587patently wrong

Milan OUT

>>155192330who do you think I am, Henry Rono?>One of the most repeated stories comes from Rono himself (shared with a friend years later). The night before his first 1978 world record attempt at a relatively low-key meet in Berkeley, California (where he nearly lapped the field), he went to a bar on Telegraph Avenue and drank four pitchers of beer alone. He returned to his motel around 1 a.m., woke at 5:30 a.m. for a 1-hour run, slept more, then on his warm-up drank two cans of Coors to calm his nerves before setting the record in the afternoon
>>155195419t. a truly terrified Tadej Pogacar
>>155192898>>155193350The guy looking for a new bike here again, im thinking of giving my old girl another chance and just getting new parts where needed instead of buying a new one like swiss anon suggested,But since I have no idea of bikes, let alone their parts and all the manufacturers, would it be wise to just go to my lokal bike store and let them handle it or should I have a clear vision of what i want?Not sure if black sheep are as common as they are with car repair shops and they just wanna get as much money out of naive customer as possible.(The store im would go to has 5 star rating)
>>155198375Go talk with your local bike store. Tell them what you have and what you want done, and they tell you what they can do. If they feel halfass you go somewhere else.
Skelly looking
alright Brazil Maroc that's more of a Omloop compared to the Maryland Classics so far
>>155198375I go to a local village store. The kind of place with 1 guy doing it because he loves it and is already happy that he can do it as a full time job.
>>155204604He's so much more skelly than for the spring classics, it's crazy.Don't even need to watch tdf anymore, it's gonna be a one man show again
>>155190341>>155190173The amount of weapons grade painkillers these fuckers are on and they're still suffering like absolute animals. How long before cyclists literally kill themselves by destroying their bodies?
>>155209075This is nothing. Footballers literally admit to taking anti pain injections.
>>155211146Yes, but it's just as well-known cyclists are on massive doses of painkillers. It's just different types of damage, footballers are increasingly just destroying each other, while cyclists are destroying themselves. Both are conducive to objectively better performance, I'm just genuinely curious if there will come a point when the system shuts down.
>>155212304Cycling has clamped much more down on pain killers than any sport. Tramadol was banned in cycling before any other sport. They take a ton of pain killers, but its less strong stuff than any other pro sport.They do other stuff like Prednisolone injections in joints etc, which also help manage pain.
>>155212885I lack the expertise to actually discuss the medicine or restrictiveness of it. I suppose cycling and football are the only sports I know enough about to have a perception of how they have changed over the past 20 years, and it's very different in how the limits are being pushed. I suppose it's much more likely that Thor kills himself breaking his own Deadlift record for the umpteenth time than some cyclist following Tom Simpson.
>>155213349Yeah funny thing about cycling nowadays is the amount of scrutiny it's under(thanks Lance!). Top cyclists are either reasonably clean or UCI are too scared to actually go after top dogs , because let's face it pro cycling can't financially survive another Armstrong.
>>155214006No professional sport (or other competition worth millions and billions) is clean. If athletes are operating at the absolute edge of grey zones or systematically cheating is a matter of definition, the degree arbitrary. Similarly, arguing if cycling is more or less clean than long-distance running or any other sport with money involved is pointless. What's the measurement? How wide-spread the dopage is? How different a doped performance is from a clean one? How many different prohibited substances and techniques are being used? How many athletes are violating at least one rule? You get the point.
>>155214006I just remembered – >UCI are too scared to actually go after top dogsYou do remember how they navigated motor doping? They busted one (1) single female rider as a warning shot for everyone to tone it down and expect controls.
>>1551917213000? What's your PB? Are you a 1500 or a 5000 guy? I was a 1500 guy in college and could manage a 3000 but it was a bit much, thinking back I miss track so much
>>155212885I remember reading somewhere that the famous "final bidon" usually contains an ungodly dose of paracetamol aka acetaminophen (alongside an ungodly dose of caffeine).>Tramadol was banned in cycling before any other sport.And it was rumored they then switched to tapentadol. There's an almost endless number of opioids, and only about a dozen of them are prohibited (pic related). Even something like tilidine which is commonly prescribed in Germany isn't prohibited, which leads me to believe they are not the least bit serious about cracking down on opioid abuse.
>>155219416Tilidine seems unproblematic. Its a mild painkiller. Its even normally mixed with naloxone. While its dumb to take a lot of over the counter painkillers I have no problem with them stuffing themselves with paracetamol if they choose to. But you're right about Tapentadol. If UCI were serious they should ban classes of drugs Instead of individual named ones.
lol looking through the prohibited list. THC is illegal, while most of the opioid class drugs are not covered. Nicotine is explicitly mentioned as legal, even though research has shown it can give performance enhancements. Just UCI things I guess.
>>155220288>Tilidine seems unproblematic. Its a mild painkiller.All opioids are problematic because of the risk of addiction. "Weak" opioids are called that because they have a ceiling effect, i.e. increasing the dose has diminishing returns. They're not less addictive, and they're still strong painkillers for people that haven't already built a substantial tolerance to opioids due to prolonged use of them.
>>155227769Sure, but addiction is not really the point of prohibiting performance enhancing drugs.
