>Now I've got the times from the hill, and it nuances the picture somewhat. Pogacar has apparently been three seconds faster than Vingegaard on the last kilometre, which also includes 300 metres before the hill. Vingegaard also sat clean on wheels, while Pogacar at least took a lead at the top. If that's true, Pogacar has no reason to be dissatisfied, also because the UAE duo was alone earlier than the Visma duo was.not so fast Jonasbros
>Lidl's Juan Ayuso is in the race's youth jersey and fourth in the standings. Still, the Spanish star is a little disappointed after the team time trial.- It's nice to have the white shirt, but we had hoped for yellow. It was a shame that we lost Mattias (Mattias Skjelmose, ed.) so early. It was not optimal to only be five riders on the flat section. That was not the plan, but things like this happen. We did the best possible team time trial, and Mads Pedersen and Vacek did great on the flat road and the hills. Thanks to them, I was in a position to shoot it off in the end, Ayuso tells TV 2 Sport, to which he elaborates:>"We've talked about it only being a climb of 800 meters at the end, but it's hard to ride them alone, and it feels long. I'm pretty happy with my effort in the end. I felt good.
good morning berts
in the wise words of Jonas Vingegaard Hansen"Tour is not won by seconds but by minutes"Today means fuck all for both Jonas and Pogi, besides being a moral boost for Jonas and Pogi with a little anger
last 800m todayJuan Ayuso 1'19Seixas 1'17Remco 1'16Vingo 1'15Filippo Ganna 1'12Poga 1'07For GC guys strength today (factoring pulling before last climb) 1. Pog 2. Remco 3. Seixas 4. Ayuso&fishboy..
Remco is not the captain anymore right? Everyones riding for Lipowitz now?
headwind tomorrow on Mont Juic
uhhh did something happen today?
Although it should be noted that Remco gained the most on this being on the TT bikes so his incredible performance should be taken with a grain of salt.

>>156233472Rapha kit looks much better. Though aren't they bankrupt or something?
>>156233472USA one seems like an obvious choice. Although it looks a bit like troon flag
>>156233690They're not bankrupt, but they're struggling.https://www.ft.com/content/8b55d109-1507-4cfe-a752-1451f802aa96>But annual revenues dropped 13 per cent to £96.2mn in the year to the end of January [2025] while the company made a net loss — its eighth in a row — of £15.6mn, according to results due to be published next week. Meanwhile, holding company Carpegna took a £102mn impairment on the brand’s book value, a writedown of more than 60 per cent.
>>156234159Oof. Guess the duck helmet hype only carries you so far.
Vinderbud
>>1562341598 years of (big) losses in a rowsounds pretty bankrupt to meonly surviving because of rich investors who are probably gonna bail now
>>156234645hilarious that they couldn't make money while being one of the most popular brands. Its completely ranphover
>>156234834They were popular because they spent shitloads in marketing and had a massive cafe/retail shop network. And that costs a lot more than just selling your bibs at bike shops.
how do niggas have +250 points in velo already
just saw Bernal is in green

Ayuso was good today. Shame Lidl is closed tomorrow. Would have went and bought something in his honor.

what is jonas laying in bed thinking about right now :3
>>156237235Probably food like any other rider that isn't Mads.
>>156237445Jonas does not strike me as food motivated
>The first rider has retired from this year's Tour de France. FDJ rider Clément Berthet crashed on the team time trial and came in with a suit torn up at the right shoulder. The Frenchman's injuries mean that he will not start stage 2 on Sunday
pogacar constantly keeps dying his hair and now shaving it because WADA collects hair samples for their new testing protocol
>>156238293probably true
>>156237923I bet a bit of homemade little auk, pickled in raw seal hide with blubber, can get him going.

>>156238166Damn, Bert is the first victim.
we alive
>>156240843>>156237235Jonas doesn't have to think because Trine does all the thinking for him. This means he's been able to surgically remove his brain to save weight. #marginalgains

>Yes, Adolf Hitler rode a bicycle during World War I. Archival records indicate he served as a bicycle dispatch runner on the Western Front, carrying messages between the command staff and front-line units.Our guy>As the leader of Nazi Germany, however, Hitler rarely—if ever—rode a bike. The regime actually disdained bicycles as the transport of "the little man". Hitler strongly preferred cars and autobahns, seeing them as symbols of modern, industrial German superiority, though his government heavily utilized bicycle troops in combat and authorized the confiscation of bikes in occupied territories.b-based [:(]

Grug wins today.
>we actually survived for oncewe're so backdefinitely nothing to do with the games being early yesterday with a bunch of whos and France, I'm sure we'll also survive the anglos later today (tomorrow)
>>156265796if Brazil gets beaten by Norway /sp/ will get mega nuked
>>156265822I hope norway humbles the sudacas

>>156250391Told you so :)
Did Jonas take a single pull during the TT?
>>156266838Congratulations
>>156266912Thanks bro. Appreciate it.
Romain Grégoire wins today
the peloton can consider themselves lucky that Lafay is not here. would have been an easy win for him
Thomas Pidcock wins today
>>156267046I don’t think it’s a mathieu stage too hard
>>156266998ok
>>156267145Quite unbelievable odds considering he was barely beaten by wout and poogacar in similar terrain. MSR was extremely close. Reduced group finish of 30 riders, those odds are pretty good, I'd have him 15/1 personally, won't complain about that however. 9% is surely going to shed a few fatties.
>>156267258Yeah definitely good value. Don't think he will win but should be up there with the best. I meant to bet each way but misclicked.
>>156261789every night is scary in /cyc/ land when we have been abandoned by the burgersmaybe we were too harsh on them
Pogacar didn't drop Vingegaard on San Luca in 2024 nor on Saint-Hilaire in 2025.Just poiting this out for everyone who will say the TdF will be close when Pogacar won't drop Vingegaard on Montjuic
all matchboxes are still overfilled, except those who chuted yesterday or are filled with shit instead (de lie).

What happened to Pablo Torres? He just lost 40s on some climb in Romania to "Byron Munton"
Idc about wins or points, all I want is that half my team doesnt dnf by week 2, just for once. Thx
>>156268450no shame in that. only 40 seconds you should say
>>156267258I wouldn't even bet on him if he gave 200/1
not even in the 30snever had the makings of a varsity athlete
>>156268450Hmm? Munton is a Senhora da Graça winner, of course he'd beat a fraud with 0 pro wins.
that's a big tyre
Why Asians are so shit at sports? They have 60+ of world population lmao
^60%*Also I have never seen Asian person in the crowd except 2 guys at LBL
>>156268710Japs like cycling. They are just stuck in their own little bubble. And the races there are mostly just shitty criteriums so it's not surprising their riders rarely break into WT.
>>156268802curious they use VW team cars, don't think ive ever seen that
>>156268799Yea got it, also probably they aren't built for endurance sportsBut why blackpipo also suck at cycling when they are among the best runners? Never understood that
>>156268864equipment is too expensive
>>156268787s*yface
>>156268923That shouldn't be case in the USA, also they suck at swimming as wellIt's like they have only running stamina built in
>>156268864Generally blacks are not suited to cycling like europeans and it's similar with japanese. You need a big VO2 max as well as explosive power. Many different physical attributes make up a pro cyclist, and the mental attributes are far more niche than most other sports. It can be very isolated, it's obviously incredibly hard and requires a lot of mental fortitude. You're not shooting hoops for a few hours then doing some gym sessions, 5hr training sessions 5-7 times a weeks with extra off the bike work, mostly alone through all weathers. THere is no instant gratification.Even if phyiscal attributes were more balanced and made the elite level of the sport more accessible I doubt we'd see many black pros because it's expensive, hard and not not social. Japanese can hack the mentals but they generally don't have the high VO2 max and extreme endurance. They can run well because they're small, they've got good explosive genes but a pro cyclist is a whole different ball game.
you now remember Giovanni Visconti
>>156269004Probably cultural for a large part. Just like we dont care about american football and only northerners care about ice hockey etc...
>>156269004>That shouldn't be case in the USAcycling in the USA is for weirdos. Lance said as much. if your kid is athletically talented, you will try to get him into ball games where there's a lot of money.
will he stop after 6th TdF?
we live
>>156269075Thanks, you explained it great
>>156269133he stops once he has Roubaix, Olympics, and Vuelta
Who we rooting for /cyc/?
depart fictif
I thought Ayuso was on Pogi's blacklist
>>156269228the dude with a great day that can keep up with favorites
>>156269170Muscular strength is also a big thing, you still have to exert a lot of force on hard climbs. If you've pushed 300w when you're not fit, it takes a lot of force just to turn the pedals. So you need to build up strength as much as you need to build up your cardio and respiratory system. Humans can quite easily run, it doesn't take that much force to move the body but if the cardio is fucked due to lacking fitness, you can't get blood and oxygen around the body.Cycling is quite unique and it filters people out very well. The weight of equipment is a big factor that separates it from running, so small athletes with great cardio systems will struggle performing on the bike compared to larger athletes because their power to weight ratio is skewed from the off. It's quite a brilliant sport.

ok retards, 'blacks' isn't a single genotype. genetic diversity within africa is far greater than diversity outside of it. so you need to distinguish between various types of africans like the endurance maxxing long distance runner types and the short twitch explosive ones. the ideal specimen is an endurance specimen with altitude adaptation. despite diversity within africa they do not have neanderthal/denisovan genetic contributions, some of which are altitude adapted and cold adapted, which could boost raw oxygen transport capacity and hematocrit etc that are useful for high intensity, high endurance activities. the marathon phenotype may not have the raw output to compete in cycling.

>>156270574Humans can't run 150km at high pace either. If you could teach a horse to ride a bike it would do pretty well.
>>156270609depends on what do you consider a high pace. ultra-marathoners do 160km over 24 hours with basically no breaks. horse can't run a whole day without resting.
Hi everyone. TdF tourist here. Like every year, I will be leisurely watching the TdF, without having paid any attention whatsoever to cycling since last year’s Tour. And just like every year, I will try to blend in with you guys and pretend I understand your memes and maybe even use them myself, but probably in a slightly wrong way because I miss the nuances. Just thought I give you a heads up! Anyway, here’s a random picture from my /cyc/ folder.
Nuff said.
>>156270699Tevis Cup, which is a 160km horse race, has a record winning time of around 14 hours in the modern day. Old records are sub-11 hours, but times from the 30s should maybe be taken with a grain of salt.

>>156271138Your people are utterly hideous. Utterly useless. You insult me, whilst using our language, using out inventions. Disgusting runts of europe the slave people. You live in a British world whether you like it or not. Almost everything in the modern world derived from British invention. And all you have is civil wars and doped cyclists LOL.
update: didn’t go, I would have if it was overcast and I wasn’t hungover. I went for the Volta de Catalunya last year so I’ve already seen bike go fast in person
>>156271178Yeah so what, most of them did heat training so they should be fine
>>156271190of course, I ride all the time. 2bh with how close to me my office is, commuting by bike is also the most convenient way. not much of cycling exclusive infrastructure here in literal Siberia, but I don't mind. got plenty of quite-ish roads to ride on. cagies are mostly fine with cyclists.

>>156271277That is such an unbelievable cope considering most the founding fathers were British. America is part of the Anglo empire. They are us. Anything to try and separate yourself from the greatest nation and people on earth though I guess. Must be hard being belgian where you've got very little identity for yourselves. Maybe you'd have preferred to speak german at gun point instead.
>>156271294only for transportation. I use MTB for winter commuting. change tyres to Ise Spiker Pros and it's enough to carry me on through the snow. as for training, XC skiing and ice skating.

>>156271473The leaders of British, for example the normans, the royal family, the endless conquests that changed leadership had considerable contribution to Britain. Normans were excellent stewards and had a positive effect. But the genetic group that made up the nation are British people. You can have a competent leadership group but a nation of mongs that is inefficient, unruly and does not function well. Colonisation for example. Inventions also were not the ruling classes, their stability helped in creating an environment where brilliant people could thrive. Code breaking is a brilliant example of British ingenuity. The industrial mobilisation of WW2 particularly is a fascinating showcase of the general competence and excellence of British people. Out produced the vast majority of nations, exported technology to other powers and the men that fought were highly competent and efficient. Compared the the red army that just threw corpses at the germans or the french who were strategically retarded, the army which were weak willed and just capitulated. All British hate is just retarded modern era marxism. Do not care if we are arrogant, because this nation has earned that right. The world would be much, much worse off without the Anglo nations and principles.

Jonas couldn't hold the wheel in a tough draggy uphill sprint on the second day of the tour so now it's over. The fact he's ridiculously light, was second wheel behind a rider who's heavier, better cornering on the downhill and way more explosive doesn't matter does it. If Jonas was 62kg and zooming on the flats like poogacar I'd be worried. Wait until the mountains. I think we'll see prime Jonas.
>>156276777bonis though

Engelhardt combatif
>>156276848>hello darkness, my old friend
Phew! It was a real pain in the ass for Vingegaard. Yesterday it was already worrying that he was riding so "slowly" on the hill, and today we see the same pattern. The mitigating circumstance is that it is an explosive climb that suits Del Toro and Pogacar much better, but last year Vingegaard could match the Slovenian on this kind of climb. And he couldn't do that today, when we didn't even get to see what Pogacar could do, because he gave the victory to Del Toro,On behalf of Vingegaard, one must hope that in his training he has focused on longer climbs, as has been talked about. It may have cost some punch, but if that is not the explanation, it is a worrying sign that Pogacar, unlike last year, apparently has a very significant upper hand on these explosive climbs.
>>156276848they need to put him back in the aquarium, he looks out of breath

>>156276909>>156276907why the fuck are they keeping him in the race? Animal abuse
New cope just dropped: How can Jonas even compete with a super team when he only has jobbers like Kuss and grug.
>>156276867He attacked him last year, only for the slavic runt to showboat by drinking, zipping his jersey, playing pokemon on his game boy and then to just go over the top of him with zero effort whatsoever. They're right to assess the situation for a week or so. Jonas gets stronger through grand tours, that's his thing. Until they reach the mountains they'd be foolish to plot against him. Unless he crashes in which case, full gas.

>>156276944grug is on Jonas team?
>BERTeaunice
>>156276946especially because visma's team is shite i think playing the long game is their best strategy, hope for a crash or mistake
>>156276740a tale of two bulls
>>156276895It's true to be fair why train for explosive hills when the best chance is getting a substantial amount of time if you can make poogacar have a bad day. Unlikely situation but that is literally his only chance.

>>156276980swarthy looking
>>156276418Skelly relegated?
>>156276805Prime fishboy loses by 8 minutes, peak fishboy by 5 minutes, so not sure what your point is.
>>156276944I think the cope will be that vingegaard has the giro in the legs. Evenepoel skipping the Tour Auverrgne - Rhones Alpes is already being described as a masterstroke in cycling experts circles
>>156276964>Victoire>WinsAre the script writers even trying?
>>156276967Exactly. urska could develop cervical cancer during the tour due to the STD's she's collected from BBC's and that could have a significant emotional impact on poogacar, weakening him mentally and physically. Potentially even causing him to pull out. In such a situation, I think it's prudent to ensure Jonas is fresh and ready to strike. You can put minutes into someone on a long climb. Short hills you can at best hope for a few seconds.

On the flip side being depressed at 3am after they lose to mexico isn't very appealing when I can wake up in the morning, check the score, let out a sigh and forget about the WC until 2030.Quite the conundrum. Morocco will win it BTW.

>>156277401Rule 5.2: Rider decelerating during a sprint and endangering other riders (knowingly staying within the line of other riders, celebrating in the bunch, talking on the radio or taking hands off handlebars while in the bunch).Obviously not the case here, since Pogacar didn't endanger anyone.
>>156277497He would have been fined if he wasn't pog. Nobody that have been fined with this rule was endangering anyone.
