Træen DNS. Concussion and multiple broken ribs.
Remco seethe status? While he was firing shots at Lipo, Lipo himself praised the good team effort in his own post race interview.>>156566718Man, that's rough, I was hoping he would be fine, because the crash didn't look that bad.
>>156566718
>>156567154>That walk at the endI recognize that from when I broke my ribs.
That shot yesterday of Pogacar and del Toro on trainers after the stage, where it looked like Pogaxar was nagging del Toro:Pogacar was saying that del Toro did not accelerate within himself, and that Vingegaard knew that and that is why Vingegaard did not follow. Then Pogacar said that he was just, and that if the top was a kilometer further then he... Then the audio and video cut to runners finishing 20 minutes behind.
>still my favorite cute
now that the tour is over, let's have a look at the other races.Cofidis is sending their best, to farm some UCI points in China.
>>156567196>Pogacar was saying that del Toro did not accelerate within himselfWhat does that even mean
heh
>>156567285P: "You went too fast, I mean, for you, these accelerations that you do..."dT: "He don't even try."P: "Because he knew."
>>156567334Lipo dropped him on the tourmalet little bro is going to need to work hard to make top ten this year
>>156567338Ok, that makes more sense
>>156567399friendly reminder that evenepoel is only 9 months older than lipowitz and has 10 times as many wins. lipowitz isn't half the rider that evenepoel is, and probably never will be.
>>1565675092bh I get a bit of Buchmann vibes from Lipo
>>156567355kek
>>156567546He’s a defensive rider it’s not very sexy but if you last till the last you can diesel to that top 3.Ayuso was mighty unimpressive by the way
>>156567509Weird pre cope lol and it doesnt matter in this tour what you did on some tourney ages ago Little bro is going to need to work hard to make top ten this year
>>156567546Noticed same thing yesterday.>modest, soft spoken>barely attacks, just rides along as long as possible>good in long, steep mountains>no punchy climber, not the greatest time trialistOnly thing he's missing is the constant dropoff over the years that Bookman had, we'll see how that turns out. Somehow it feels that his last year was already his peak. Of course I hope that I'm wrong, and that he can consistently compete for GT top 5. Also Bora isn't really committed to him, with Evenepoel they brought in another egomaniac, just like Roglic before. Seems like Red Bull will just pump in money for big names, regardless of team chemistry. Funny somehow that this strategy is what you would expect from a team like UAE, yet they don't have such problems.
>>156567154i knew i've become a boomer yesterday when i saw him crash and i thought to myself "oh good god, the yellow jersey is down"
>Broadcasters in France and Spain have submitted a complaint to FIFA over its decision to include ExpressVPN as an official World Cup sponsor. ExpressVPN, a virtual private network service which protects a user’s privacy on the internet, was announced as an official World Cup partner before the start of the tournament and has featured on advertising boards during matches.>‘The fact that FIFA is signing a partnership with a company whose service actively facilitates the piracy of sports content sends a disastrous message to the entire football ecosystem. It jeopardises ongoing legal proceedings. La Liga, beIN Sports France, Canal+, and other sports organisations have filed lawsuits against ExpressVPN in several jurisdictions.’hope none of you scumbags are stealing cycling contentyou wouldn't download a car
If only it was it was still 2023 peak fishboy, who went 2 minutes slower on Tourmalet, still riding today, right guys?
can that useless cunt MVDP do something today pls
>I rank Jasper Philipsen as no. 3, but it is not with enthusiasm. Yesterday he seemed to struggle to hold Merlier's wheels, and although Merlier is the fastest, in Belgium we saw that they were much more equal. In the intermediate sprints, he has also sprinted disappointingly, and today he was beaten quite regularly on speed by Max Kanter.>At least it doesn't look like a Philipsen with the speed he usually has, and yesterday he also said that he didn't have much to shoot with in the sprint. When I still rank him as no.3, it is because of the train. It went wrong yesterday, but it may well be due to the crash. Knowing how Mathieu van der Poel can drive the lead-out, it's hard not to believe in a formation with Jonas Rickaert, Edward Planckaert, Van der Poel and Philipsen. That matters less in this simple finale, but Philipsen is still the rider with the best chance of being put up from the lead. And even though he has sprinted disappointingly, there are still few who can go past him.
>>156567355GemSaved
>>156567338So maybe the plan is two up attack so burrito gets second. Why would you want Jonas to come with you? To blow him up? Jonas seems to know his numbers very well and is increasingly dropping off as soon as he sees its too fast for him. Not sure what he's getting at really, other than burrito going slower so he can stay with pogacar, which won't happen if pogacar is gunning for it.
>>156568411I only posted this because some dumb Spanish speakers posted a clip with the first sentence Pogacar says cut off, and claimed Pogacar is denigrating Vingegaard. The whole exchange shows that Pogacar is criticizing, if anyone, del Toro, and says nothing negative about Vingegaard.
Pogacar gained 30s on 4.6km about 8.6%, 40s on 20km descent, and 88s on 18.7km 3.7% climb
>>156568793smart tactics going for it in week 1. get a nice advantage while the fish is still building his fitness. He'll need a good buffer for when Jonas gets warmed up in week 3
next proper stage is stage 14. what is this the giro d'france?
>>15656879310% heavier than jonas too btwmaybe the era of skelly climbers are over
>>156569002but if Pog wasn't around Jonas would be going for 5 in a row and be a skelly king. his weight doesn't matter when the Slovenian menace is simply way stronger (also he is skelly enough himself)
>>156568601Is there something I'm missing? I can't see what burrito did wrong. He went deep, got a big gap straight away then drifted back to G3 and won the sprint. He's still favorite for 3rd overall. I cannot see what poogacar wanted him to do different other than stick with poogacar or Jonas. This is where he comes off arrogant. I can't see why he's having to give an in depth coaching session right after the finish, in front of cameras as burrito can barely breath. I might be missing some tactical genius plan but burrito isn't sticking with poogacar and he's unlikely to stick with Jonas even if he didn't go so deep.
>>156568992>We don't want the tour to be over on week 1.
>>156568793It was the perfect stage for an all-rounder like him, this is the kind of shit he does all the time in the one day races.If they were trying to make the tour interesting until 3rd week, they really fucked up with this stage design.
>Dopeurcar 70 km solotiresome
>>156569276Visma should’ve sent a satelite in the break
>pre start bus vibes
>>156567917That's such bullshit reasoning. You don't cry about a car company being a sponsor even though it is used to commit crimes and run people over.You don't cry about MCdonalds, soda and energy drink sponsors even though it has disastrous effects on public health.But a service that annoys ad companies because it's harder to target their ads (and use piracy as an excuse), OH BOY THAT'S A BAD THING
>>156569315They are missing Soler. Apparently he is the biggest goofball on that team. Last year he "borrowed " a rickshaw during the rest day and they were racing it around the hotel.
>>156569381UK government actively trying to ban VPN for public use. Surprised there isn't a bigger attack on VPN's around the world. Not as if it's fort knox level security either. You can still track someone on a VPN of course.
>>156569304They tried. UAE didn't let them
>>156569485I'm sure companies will love that as half of the It infra runs through tunnels lmao. You can't ban that without ruining your economy so they wont.UK is a dystopian hellhole even Orwell couldn't imagine in his nightmares.
What an absolute slurp stage today, I'll just watch the soccer only
>>156569584coward
>>156569537Yes infrastructure uses VPN's but how hard would it be to ban public use VPN's? Not very I'd imagine. The online safety act is already a spurious law that can be twisted and manipulated to meet the needs of the police and government. We have a police state except the police are pathetic and don't tackle actual crime. I think it's 80% of car thefts go unsolved in the UK. In london that's 90%. Other figures I've seen estimate even higher percentages are unsolved. And this goes for basically every other crime. Except those against the state and it's evil policies. Getting pretty bad to say the least.
>>156567154Honestly crashing out in yellow is probably more satisfying than being eternal 2nd behind pogi
>>156569596I'm not watching tomorrow either and probably not even Sunday, and definitely not Monday. Tour is paused until Tuesday.
Xds astana Max Kanter is my dark horse for today sprint royale, mark my word
>>156567154Crushing your ribs in a fight you were never ever going to win even on that day, is really fucking dumb.
>>156567154he looks very asian
I haven’t given a fuck about sprint stages since Sagan retired and WVA fell off
>>156569676he didn't even crash from taking a risk, it was just bad bike handling
>>156567732>>barely attacks, just rides along as long as possibleThat's not true, he tried to attack yesterday over the top of Tourmalet, and he also attacked multiple times last year, on one occasion even shooting himself in the foot (Loze stage). Sadly he's just not good enough to make his attacks stick at this level of racing.
>>156568104>>156568134why do people glaze girmay so much?oh its because he's black
>>156569630Pretty fucking hard actually. I can setup a tunnel with some proxies and its technically not that hard to make them yourself either.Yeah regular John wont be able to use it anymore but he doesn't know how to pirate either.It doesn't matter, we all know it's not about piracy, terrorism or whatever other bullshit excuse.It's purely data and control
>>156569676>disk brake stoppieShould’ve listened to Durainrider
>>156569690they do seem pretty lame these days even when the top guys are all there. merlier vs philipsen doesn't really get you excited. >>156569725honestly it's disrespectful putting Girmay on the same level as Bittner. don't pretend he's not fast
>>156569690they used to be quite kino where 1/3rd the teams that showed up just cared about green and just had big blocks of meat for well practiced sprint trains for an even bigger block of meat to smash 2000w while head butting each othernow its just all lame pseudo sprintersSagan was awesome but he started the 'super puncheur' shit we are now plagued with
Today’s my country’s stage. Enjoy the flatness and the pine trees.To think the French state expects you to drive at 80km/h on these never-ending straight roads.
>>156569757the only time girmay even has a chance is when the sprint is likely to go early and its slightly uphill but it seems to be mandatory for commentators to spend half their time talking about where the guy that always finishes like 7th place is
*breaks away*
>>156569725He goes to church and puts family first
Jonas pre-race interview with Danish media TV2:>“I don’t know if anything really went wrong (yesterday). It was simply that I couldn’t follow,” says Jonas Vingegaard.Have you figured out why?>"No, not really. I think maybe he was just better yesterday. I have to accept that and hope I can improve as the race goes on.”Where do you think it will be possible to make up some time?>"I think—and maybe this has been our plan all along—that I’ll get better as the race progresses. We’re hoping the final two weeks will suit me better and that I can make the difference there.">"I don’t actually think I had an off day yesterday. He was simply stronger, and I have to accept that. That’s how cycling is sometimes. We’re definitely not giving up, and we still believe in it. There are still a lot of days left before Paris.”
good morning fellow europeeans
>two man breakThe fuck is this gay shit
>>156569810there is jasper, merlier and kooij then there is the rest. girmay is clearly part of the rest. he is correctly ranked. plenty of good reasons to be racist this is not one of them
Lipo should knock out this islamist faggot. Let the asphalt talk.
>>156569825eritrea is super interesting to mesuper weird landscape ruled by an african christian autocracy that hates the west and is set up to avoid infiltration of globohomoi honestly think all the bad press it gets is because they don't want western NGOs funding school programs that tell their kids to troon out
>>156569880Breaks have been pretty lame. Either is a huge group because peleton wants a rest day. Or its a couple of shitters so they left on a 3 minute leash.
>>156569784Yeah he started the thing but he also did wheelies and had fun celebrations then went and won the Tour of California GC in my town over Alaphilippe so that was really fucking cool. Hell even before that gc win he was already “The king of California” and my first real bike was a green CAAD10 because of him. He got a lot of kids into cycling
what are the chances of UAE being exposed within the next 2-3 years?
>>156569880these lads have no respect for their sponsors anymore. back in the good old days this would be nice 5 man break of the smallest teams knowing they had zero chance but doing their job as advertising billboards.
>>156569951big now that israel stopped sponsoring a team, they have nothing to hide
>>156569919It’s not uncommon to see opposing factions of Eritrean diaspora brawling violently abroad. It happened in France, Switzerland, Sweden, maybe Canada, and elsewhere I’m sure. The clannish considerations may be prevalent like everywhere else in East Africa (whereas elsewhere on the continent tensions are rather religious/tribal/racial).
>>156569951Julius "the rat" Johansen might spill the beans
>>156569733I was thinking from the legislation point of view. Ban something quite easily, like how they're trying for smartphone bans for kids. Is it going to be enforced? No, maybe spot checks for optics. But the whole point is introducing more government laws which can be pulled out your arse to justify arrests and convictions. They have a bunch of laws like that now, one is public order offence where if they think you're causing 'distress' to other people (police use this when they feel distressed to justify their arrests also) then they can arrest you. What causes distress? Anything really. Genuine authoritarianism.
>>156569919It's an oppressing dictatorship. That's what it is. You can like their values but it's still a dictatorshop
>>156570021monarchy-bro....
>>156570009Yeah they don’t care if it’s enforced for kids at all, it’s for you. It’s for you to upload your ID to Google if I should get my 30th booster or not
Small teams are getting too upity.
avg speed only 42. looks like they're taking a rest day
>>156567355pip
why do they have to piss 20 minutes in?
Saint-Sever is confirmed /cozy/ territory.
>>156566431After rewatching yesterdays Tourmalet its pretty clear the whole plan of UAE was to 1-2 attack with Pog and Del Torro all the way to the finish. But Del Torro blew himself up in the initial acceleration. He later recovered a bit but the whole plan was to for Del Torro to also put a minute into Vingegaard. That really shows the mindset within UAE. They dont just want to win the Tour they want to be 1 and 2. Im sure the rest of the Tour will be in this direction.
>>156570076Maybe they drink water before the start
>>156570102>>156567338
>>156569988those are muslims, not eritrean coptic christians
>>156570021nothing inherently wrong with dictatorships as long as they are based and redpilledway preferable than western sloptocracy
>>156569988Eritrea isn't about clans. It's about those who are for the military/communist dictatorship, and those who are opposed to it.There's a reason it's called the North Korea of Africa.
remember when slueths found a teenage del toro poking around on reddit looking for information on doping?
>>156570115yes it all makes sense.
>>156570164like spicy porc taco receipes?
>>156570146Of course there’s that, but the Tigrayans issue cannot be ignored. Afar too.
>>156570164honest lad educating himself so he knew what to avoid
I will be surprised if remco goes through his career without getting knocked out by another rider
>>156570129It's never a good thing for 1 single person to have absolute power. They all get god complexes, every single one through history. I'm not saying our western (fake) democracies are good, but at least there's some competition and rotation between the power hungry assholes so nobody can truly go over the top by starving their population to install 19 golden toilets.
>>156569172The plan was to for Burrito to the the initial acceleration with Pog that would drop Vingegadar, but NOT too extreme that it blow Burrito up. Thats were Burrito fucked up. If it would have worked Pog would have paced Burrito all the way to the finish line.
>>156570203t. Jakob Söderqvist
>>156570164link?
>>156570212They're then assuming burrito is stronger than Jonas which I'm unsure about. That's pretty arrogant.
>>156570212Very disrespetful to Jonas. I hope he mogs the Mexican in the Alps
Why are you watching this?
>>156570232>>134463834
>>156570240Only the initial acceleration. After that he could have been in the wheel of Pog if he didnt blow himself up.
>>156570240Not saying Toro is stronger than Jonas but if those two got away on the descend they were never getting caught
>>156570270I am watching the International Rund Fart of Osterreich with 3 (three) UAE merda runners at the Spitze
>>156570270for the paysages and the camaraderie
>>156569725TRVKE
>>156570270it's like the golf or the snooker. you just put it on in the background and don't really pay attention until the last 10k. very comfy
>>156570270it's still comfy
>>156570270While the chance that someone is getting banned for incorrectly holding his handlebar is low it is never zero
>>156567917I've watched multiple world cup matches using a VPN. And I'll keep doing it for the games that are not freely available here.
>>156570280>>156570284The tourmelet is too steep to get a meaningful tow though, so he'd have to hold a higher pace man vs man against Jonas, after an acceleration. Jonas sped up too to catch poogacar, then poogacar stepped on it. Gap over the top wasn't really that big either. You can't just tow burrito up a climb like that. He's having to hold his own, they they must have believed that he's stronger than Jonas. Maybe I'm missing something. The idea they'd duo away and finish 1-2 is very ambitious for burrito.
>>156570397They obviously thought it possible because they obviously tried it. Rewatch the moment Burrito takes over and goes for a while with Pog in his wheel. Then Burrito and Pog share a look/word when Burrito is slowing down, then Burrito hangs on to Pog for a while. combined with this >>156567338
>>156567917tdf used to be on vanadian french public tvbut flobikes bought the exclusive broadcasting rights for canadafuck flobikes, im not paying 60$ just to watch my god given right to watch tdf.
>>156570273The narrative that Gianetti scouted a group of already talented riders who showed a willingness to dope is increasingly plausible.
>>156570453This might get interesting over the rest of the tour. It's like pro cycling manager stacking the top 10 with your riders instead of chasing more GC time. Jonas is in for a ride.
what's up with czechs not taking rotations?
>>156570270Because I like cycling, it’s also a kino region today
>>156570507Exactly.
>>156570270for the the helicopter shots of Aquitaine, Gascogne and Bordeaux or if you need something to fall asleep to for the siesta.
> “Everything has been settled between Lipowitz and me,” he told VTM NIEUWS before the start of the seventh stage. “We went over it in a discussion with everyone, and now we have to move on. What happened yesterday is in the past. It was just a moment in the race.”> Zak Dempster, Chief of Sports at Red Bull, also had the chance to explain the situation today. “Remco was frustrated because he wanted to finish third. Why didn’t ‘Lipo’ take over? He was still in the lead before that, but when Remco tried to make a lead-out, he couldn’t get there anymore. It comes down to fractions of a second. That can happen. But we’ve had a debrief, and everything’s okay again.”> Did that little incident cause some unrest in the Red Bull camp? “Remco wears his heart on his sleeve. In the heat of the moment. Everyone’s human. What matters most to me is how they’re getting along now—and how they’re resolving things internally. That’s a constant process of improvement. If you want to compete for top results, that’s just part of the game at this level.”
>>156570273How can you have such ridiculously low opsec. Burrito does seem like an impressionable retard.
>>156570509They're more of a women's tennis nation.
>>156570889here they're known as net tendies
>>156570761Its obviously fake as fuck but for a 17/18 year old asking those questions is not that weird
>>156570753>and everything’s okay againThey mean they forced a lid onto the boiling kettle, this will only make it explode harder when it happens.

>>156572072My French is not good enough for this but I found a funny pic
>>156571920It would be silly to retire now. He has a lifelong contract with Visma so he can easily jew them for another decade.
>>156572222checkedapparently pogi is at 442 so pretty """normal""" for the modern era
>403 Watts Étalon pour Pogacar 13 min 18 sec , 7,1 w/kg sur les 5 derniers km à 8,84% sur le haut du Tourmalet
Pogi life ending crash when?
>>156572222Watts-étalons means as if the rider weighs 70kg.450w étalon is 6,43w/kg. 493w étalon is 7,04w/kg.
>>156571490This is some shitty computation where they assume every rider is 70kg
>>156567154wait he didnt finish yesterdays stage?
>>156571682It's possible, my wife also had 2 colors in her hair. She has a big chunk at the back that is plain brown while the rest is ginger. It blends together making her hair look a different color at the back than the front.
>>156568992more like giro d'farnce, amiright?
>>156572473Are you not 70 kg? I am.
>>156572333Only one rider has to take one for us all
>>156572535I fucked up, I meant to type, giro d'FARCE. Hehe, get it?
>>156572722Bert please not calling it Tour de FarceOne job
is the wine poster still around? perfect stage for some bordeaux tasting.
>>156566431>2026>not using electric bikesWhy ? It wouldn't change the result, the best rider would still go faster.
>tfw been eating 25% of the protein amount neededdidnt really care but now I understand there was no gains
>>156573076I found something similar this winter and my watts have skyrocketed since (well they increased slightly)
>>156573129but in your case you ate protein bars during your rides.
>>156573076>vegan discovers his diet is shittyMany such cases
>>156573163Like once
There is hope that poogacar crashes in the run in. Fingers cross lads.
>get dropped and lose the yellow jersey>crash and break ribs and get a concussion, still finish the stage>get filmed hugging your stuffed animals like a child>still no gf Being a pro cyclist is a rough life

>>156573357>andersjewI'm noooticing
Awkward waiting for the peloton to catch up moment
>>156572282he's also much lighter than Lance never mind Big Mig
so you're telling me that Slovenian kid is better than Lance?
Been to any good concerts lately? I want to go see Baxter Durry but he's only booked for Dortmund and Dortmund is a shit hole to which I shant be going near. Any alternative acts youd recommend? Im open to anything.
went to Lidl. what a shithole. Aldi is so much better
La voix de Marion Rousse…
>>156573511fraid so
>>156573538Aldi should sponsor a wt team. Then we could have some proper rivalry.
aje moe kakken doe het nu
Only 14km to go yet it doesn't feel like much is happening yet
Never been to lidl but here Aldi is absolutely disgusting, they have expired produce, no name brands for cereals chips or whatever, the lowest tier meats. Literally only the poorest of the poor even think to shop there.
>>156573581>14km to go yet it doesn't feel like much is happening yetplease refer to this infographic >>156570270
Dege bros, were almost at the end...
Gentlemen go to NOZ only for their food consumption.
the fuck is wrong with Uno-X
>>156573558Instead we have Intermarché and Picnic
Kooij will win this with bike lenghts
>>156573627thanks, very useful
>>156573728Kanter-Bauhaus-Ackermann 1-2-3
what is it about supermarkets and pro cycling teams anyway?
>>156573661I didn't even know that's what Picnic is. Never seen one before
now crash in a comical way
>>156573746JA
camon Grug do a fackin proper leadout
>>156573753>I didn't even know that's what Picnic is. Never seen one beforeWell, yes, it's online only.
>Pont Simone VeilGrim
someone needs to destroy front this is messy
Lmao the crowd is empty af, no one cares about the TdF this year it’s crazy
did the moto camera break or something?
kwabbe jappe
looked easy
Merlier wins easyPhilipsen probably going to get relegated for that
Jasper washed as fuck
Fatty is not even trying.Its a grim year for Denmark
>jappewhat does he do?can't have any more perfect sprint train and lead out than this.
>>156573835I was thinking that but it was on a shitty main road not good for spectators to be fair. Decent crowd at the finish
merlier has been the dominant sprinter all season
Bini stuck behind Philipsen and Gaviria for a while, still got 3rd
>>156573893he should do the leadout for Grug next time
phillipsen off his line again someone is going to die before he learns
>>156573893his DS earlier today said he has no condition or bad legs whatever
>>156573897Kinda but Bordeaux is a big city. The heat does not helpWC gets all the attention
>closing the door>on gaviria
rusbert slacking todaycan't take that long refueling your car, even though he cycles to work.
>>156573991>BauhausHuh. Didn't even know he was in this race.
>>156573991When did we get another middle aged lesbian in the peloton?
there were some riders touching each other during the sprint, let's see if there will be some relegations.
>>156573991Running in the bikelane when there is that much spaceYells at clouds
Wow merlier broke into tears in the sporza interview dedicating the win to someone that used to bring him to races as a boy that's on deaths door

Pogacar keeps the yellow
>>156574201planned for 14 juillet
can't beat the tdfno jobbers allowed
has the Tour been ridden Berts?
>>156571682it is quite incroyable, but if it were dyed, then, reasonably assuming he wouldn't bother with re-dying it during a race, at the end of a tour de france (that he cared to participate in) we would see about a centimeter of dark regrowth near the roots. I might be underinformed but I don't think anyone has seen that on Wout ever. That's not a certain proof but an argument none the less. Personally I'm easily convinced as in my own hairline I also have a patch of odd hairs laid out similarly to Wout's blonde patch, i.e. with big presence in the center and extending to the left somewhat more than to the right. In my case though they're not miscoloured, instead significantly kinkier than the rest and with far shorter terminal length
who is lisa bike and why does she sponsor a team?
>>156574155Two top tens for the good guys, very based.
>>156574174Comendaonly one o, you filthy gooner
wtf I thought AI always told you what you want to heardidn't even think about for long
>Bottom line: Remco is explosive and strong in time trials, but Lipowitz looks more consistent in the high mountains where the Tour will likely be decided. Unless Remco gains significant time in upcoming TTs or attacks successfully, Lipowitz is favored to finish ahead of him. The internal team friction could hurt both. The race is far from over, though — mountains and time trials can still shift things.we got this Jonasbros. week 3,,,
>"I can't think of anything much worse than doing a sprint like this. At the risk of sounding like a sissy, you get a little scared once in a while, says the Dane and calls the last kilometer and a half "terrible".>Along the way, the Dane won the intermediate sprint, and in this way he again limited his loss to his rivals in the battle for the green points jersey.>"I think we were five riders who were within a wheel at the finish line, so it might as well have been fifth instead of ninth. The intermediate sprint went well, and I got the maximum points I could get, and at the finish I can be happy that Philipsen and Girmay didn't win. All in all, it is an approved day.Madscoin going down
>>156574735if he keeps going in breaks for points and manages top fives he can easily do this there’s no consistent top of the line this year
>>156574797just checked the intermediate sprints. there are only 2 or 3 that are good for Mads. most are before the climbs
>rusbert has been slacking whole daysurely he's not visiting his family in verchojansk againthat would spell grim times for this very general
>>156575344Maybe they pulled him off the street and he's on his way to the ukrain border as we speak
>>156575541if that is true i will ask my government to switch allegiance
>>156575541he's too old for that
>>156575754The russian government is historically known to not give a flying fuck about lives, so I wouldn't count on that

So what bright spots does Visma | Lease a Bike see ? >“Mainly how good Jonas is at the moment, physically speaking,” the team manager tells Wielerflits. “And how we assess it compared to Pogačar; that it is very close.>Naturally, Jonas was disappointed yesterday. Losing 2 minutes and 40 seconds is not what we had in mind. It was quite close on the climbs, and that is something we are holding on to.And does the big picture at Visma | Lease a Bike for this Tour de France need to be overhauled now?> “Not very much. We have a plan; that is what we went into the Tour with. We didn't foresee this loss of time, but that doesn't mean we have to do anything differently. We will fight for every second for the next two weeks.”Not over yet bros. It's actually closer than we think
>>156576563oh boy back to it’s part of the plan posting
>>156576563it's cope but there's always the possibility of pogacar crashing
>>156576623I remember this embarrassing shit from last two years. Just come out and admit you're washed and shit.It's very possible right now that Pogi exhausts Fish to the point of him cracking so hard he loses #2 place. He already destroyed himself yesterday minimizing the loss.
>>156576690>Just come out and admit you're washed and shit.The funny thing is that if Pogacar would not exist, Vingegaard by now would himself have a claim to be in the goat debate, closing in on his potential 6th TdF victory at the age of 29.
I still believe in the fish. He will come good in the Alps
>>156576859without pogi it would be a more even contest for sure jonas regularly gets his ass beat in one-week stage races
>>156576681Half of this office is shittalking pogocar because he so dominant. But take pog away and it's Jonas being dominant. You need to remove Jonas as well and then we finally get a race.> Fact pepe (missing from folder)
New transciption of clip of Pogacar seeming to nag del Toro:P: “You went too fast. I mean, too fast for you. The acceleration you put in was really good. But I was also pushing my limits a bit,”dT: "He [Vingegaard] didn’t even try to follow,”P: "No, because he knows that’s what we do. But if the climb to the summit had been another kilometer longer, it might have been too much for me, too.”https://www.wielerflits.nl/nieuws/tadej-pogacar-geeft-raad-aan-isaac-del-toro-voor-oog-van-cameras-je-ging-te-snel/
>>156576971extremely disrespectful to the two time champquite frankly rudehe spanks anyone not name Pogacar
>>156577114> GauduHeh, where is this dude at
>>156577250allergy recovery center from april to september
Surely you went on a ride today, Berts?
>>156577250whatever happened to Carlos Rogriguez
>>156577592I chased an ebike uphill on my commute but even at 800 ish watts (11W/kg) I was barely closing the gap.The motors on these things nowadays are wild.
The solution is doing a 80km flat TT at the start of every tour, so pogacar get like 30 minutes from remco and has the rest of the tour and the mountains for try to win it anyways. It's that simple.
The solution is doing 21 flat stages so a sprinter wins the tdf with time bonuses. It's that simple.
Merlier is one of the most boring riders in the peloton. He does not seem to have any personality.
>>156578281But nobody's gonna watch that shit
ok time for football
>>156578214ASO are really dumb for not figuring this out
who is this? Gilbert's wife maybe
lol look at their little baby faces
>>156578669nonce
also thisaight I'm out
>>156578077Commendable. I like to chase full kit wankers on my folding bike. Many aren't as fit as they think they are.
>>156578669Ewan was fun. His sprint style was cool.
"Craziest stat about Pogacar on Tourmalet is on Strava : he took one minute on the main group in only 8 minutes (3 km segment). Then deliberately slowed down.That’s a 50 to 60 watts difference"
look at this faggot trying to fake like he is tired LMAO https://x.com/LeTour/status/2075247104084021660
Fun fact B*lgium never won a World Cup match on the same day they won a Tour stage.
>>156586355Spain will wangle a cheeky goal, the hispanic teams always do.
>>156585010Parasocial cunt. Hope he dies tonight.
With Tour being over and weekend stages being so shit, one has on regrets in doing BIG weekend rides
>>156574174
>Putting boring ass flat stages on weekends>Putting mountains on week daysWhy does he have such deep contempt for wagies?
And there it is
this is 100% going to OT, qoute me on this, i should bet but im too lazy to login
>>156589571>OTExtra time? Spaniards are fucking cheesy with their sports. They seems to get strokes of luck. They're a good side but that goal was not very good. That is the sort of shit hispanics and italians get lucky with.
remco's man, please.
get these Belgium cowards outta hereno ambition at all until it's desperation time
>>156589826The 85th minute golaso was so obviously coming you could have bet autismbert's life savings on it
Finally we're out. Sporza can make some more room again for cyclismo
Seeds actually look really fun potentially. Spain vs France will be good. They also have national rivalries. England vs Argentina will ignite WW3. Need both to win for the giga kino. If England beat the argies then we can 100% expect another Falklands war by the end of the year. Imagine if Rice snaps Messi's ankle. This could be a historic game.
>>156587518>>156588936>>156589571Blame Merlier
>>156590695Little kid got to stay up to see his dreams getting crushed. Love to see it.
>>156591096Morocco was his chosen team I'm sure.
>>156591172So both his teams lost and he has to deal with a german too.He's living in hell,no wonder he's so angry
>Tour of Magnificent QinghaiWhat's stopping ASO from renaming the tour "Tour de Magnificent France"?
>>156591657Taste. Something Asians lack
Worried Jonas might suicide
>>156590695We lost
Is it worth watching the stage highlights
>>156594236Not really. Any merlier stage is worth skipping. He wins the most boring uneventful stages I notice.
>>156593924His eyes are on the Vuelta and the fish factory.
>>156594236"Culinary" highlight were the Foie gras ducks that get tortured
>>15659423630 seconds video should cover it

C'est pas normal ce qui se passe
Makes you wonder why Riccò bothered dopping when you could go entirely clean and make the Tourmalet 6 minutes faster
>Tim Merlier dedicates his sprint victory in Bordeaux to Bertrand, who drove him to races for years, but who passed away just before the finish.>“The man who has driven my brother and me to races since I was twelve is dying. This one is for him. I hope he saw it,” said an emotional Tim Merlier after crossing the finish line first in Bordeaux.>“Unfortunately, Bertrand De Keyzer didn’t make it. He passed away today at 4:20 PM,” said the mayor of Oudenaarde, who learned the news from the man’s daughter. “Bertrand was a wonderful guy, with whom I was also good friends. What a classy gesture that was from Tim. But it is so sad that Bertrand couldn’t experience it,” said Adam.that is really sad
>>156595507Ricco took every product under the sun because he couldn't get there on talent & hard work alone
/r/equesting the vuelta 2019 collague. I'm feeling nostalgic.
>>156595507Ricco also rode on a shitty bike that was probably 10-20w slower than modern bikes, and in an era where pros trained fasted and ate 30g rice cakes during races. That argument is so tired
>>156597743imagine believing this horseshit
>>156596227Wtf happened there? Did he hurt his forehead or his eye?
>>156598113Have you ever ridden an aero bike old man? Or perhaps tried a heat training cycle? Literally scientifically proven to increase hemoglobin content and TTE. Advancements in literally everything imaginable yet you old farts still scream at the clouds.
