gonna harvest some carrots today.TT's are fucking boring
Ah comfy TT stage
>>157050807Beats Pog on a mountain stageLoses to Ganna in a ITT
>>157050807That chainring is almost the size of the wheel.
GANNA GIGA WATTS TODAY
Comfy weather on the hill
double Civiglio in a new finish. it will end in the same Pogwinslol if he's riding
it really happened lmao. he's gonna be nuclear mad today
>Jonathan Vaughters, now manager of the EF-Education EasyPost team currently riding in the Tour, and a former teammate to Lance Armstrong who was stripped of seven Tour wins for doping, supported the nocturnal tests. Vaughters, posting on X, said: “Two am testing is one of the very effective ways to prevent peptide (EPO, HGH) and testosterone micro dosing. If [the] UCI had tested us in 2001 at 2am? We’d all have been suspended and saved the sport 25 years of drama.”
>>157050577The water bottle classic
>Remco Evenepoel also received a late-night visit from doping inspectors, according to Red Bull team manager Ralph Denk: “The riders had already gone to sleep.”>Jonas Vingegaard and Tadej Pogacar weren’t the only ones to undergo a doping test at an ungodly hour during this Tour. Remco Evenepoel and several of his teammates at Red Bull-BORA-hansgrohe were also subjected to a test late last night, as confirmed to our editorial staff and as team boss Ralph Denk told the German broadcaster ZDF this morning.They raided Remco late last night before his ITT stage hmm…
>>157051434>>157051482What's the point of that second wave? Bora basically has been warned by the tests from yesterday.
>DNS Craps LarsLotto is the most affected by abandons. and Van Eetvelt rides through pain with injured ribs
>>157051482:^) >>157034128>>157051680They did the raids last night, they wouldn't possibly do them again...
>>157050784>TT's are fucking boringNoooo :'(Show carrots when you're done harvesting, please.
Wada is reading this thread: you should look into Slock and the whole uno-x squad.
>>157051969those guys aren’t above seixas in gc
>>157051482It was between 9pm-10pm, so nothing out of the ordinary
>>157051985that's the time Remco has some private time with his wife.
America #1
The big question is whether Paul has been tested. That'll be a major clue as to who's behind all of this.
>>157052058>in my day we didnt had a car chasing us>you brought your own tubes>you carried your own water>and if a bystander was booing at you you gave him the business
What winning time are we expecting today friends? I need those fantasy points
>>157050577>26.1km tt?>the podium is mine>all of it
https://www.cyclingweekly.com/racing/tour-de-france/very-effective-tour-de-france-team-manager-applauds-night-time-anti-doping-tests>In a further update, just before the start of stage 16, one team – who cannot be named for legal reasons unless they consent to being identified – informed CW that all of their riders were tested by DCOs at 10pm on Monday night. It is unusual for an entire team’s roster to be mass tested.Got to be PooAE right? Only thing I don't get is why they'd tell CW of all outlets. It's a niche cycling tabloid that doesn't hold much prestige. They have been imperious this tour. Everything has gone through them. No other team has put on a full team display like they have. Visma have been mediocre, ineos have been absent, redbull have been decent but nothing special. Decathlon have been under the radar compared to previous years and it's only Seixas who's been doing well. Lidl have been decent but nothing special or unexpected. It can only be PooAE. Which is excellent news of they're being given such a stern warning. Maybe they'll calm down. I suspect financial fair play rules will be implimented quite soon off the back of this. This is a sign there are disgruntled groups or individuals who are sick of what they're seeing. They can't catch them in the act but they will be able to intimidate and impliment bureaucratic measures to impede the teams ability to completely dominate the sport.
Post rest day ITT, today was supposed to be the return of gigadoped thermonucleaire fishboy
>>157052233It's was red bull bora
>>157052131>race was a proper fucking tour>cocaine, booze, and cigs were allowed>really anything waswe mvst retvrn
>>157052246Does anyone still have the pics of that devilish monstrous face? I seem to have misplaced them
>>157052233Pogacar completely dominates the sport. any team assembled around him is just along for the ride.
PidCHAD has over 9 minutes on 10th place. I wonder if we'll see any more of his attacks. He's had a bloody good race so far. Hats off to him. Damien Howson has been very solid too. Carapaz should keep working for a top 10. Jegat and Voisard have no place here.>>157052249How do you know? That makes no sense. I'm assuming PooAE were also tested then. Redbull have had an average race. Maybe slightly under expectation with Lipowitz.
>>157052281His team have put out incredible performances. On MVDPoo's stage they held world class breakaway riders to a tight gap and just sat up. Pollitt has been excellent in the mountains. Yates is riding well but I don't find it shocking because he's had that level of performance in the past. They have 4 riders that could realistically finish top 10 if they were leaders, 2 riders will podium the race. 4 riders in the top 20 is the most out of any team and though that's not like having 4 in the top 10, it's still a massive feat. Their strength is unparalleled.
>>157052369I think it's to be expected when you build a team around someone who is clearly the best cyclist in the world. Ayuso is gone because he clearly wanted to be the top dog somewhere else. I think most riders probably don't mind being in a support role. Maybe they don't personally think they're good enough to be the best even realizing they're elite cyclists. maybe the pay makes it worthwhile. Del Toro is clearly the only other rider on the team that can possibly win the tour in the future and he clearly seems happy being the understudy while he's presumably being groomed for his own run. They didn't even win the team time trial, so it seems clear to me they've been specifically built to suit Pog's chances. yeah, it's boring but I don't think anyone should reasonably expect something different.
>>157052461I leaned heavily on the word clearly in this post, clearly.
>>157050577Bains?
>>157052475Aye
>>157052369None of this is impressive or not expected. The richest team with the best cyclists are doing well. Wow what a surprise. Their riders are not over performing. They are top riders having a good race. Many other teams have done the same in the past.
>>157052461There is an enormous gulf in ability, my point is the FFP rules are coming in hot to prevent this. Of course the richest team with the best rider will have the strongest team, but it's been so much stronger than the rest. It's only accelerating the FFP rules which I cannot wait for.
>>157052557You might just be stuck being one of those unfortunate people who feels passionately about a sport during a time when someone you don't care for happens to be a dominate figure.
Remkings take grandma's porcelaine out, today we feast on our National Day
Remco needs a good one week stage race victoryMaybe grab a GiroThen a tdf when old man Pogacar is gone. Bring back 50km TTs
>>157052623happy making some random German prince your king day, instead of making the independence from Spain/Netherlands your national holiday.
>>157052668(No one gives a fuck about any of this)
Uphill depart slow as Christmas, absolutely underwhelming.
Time trial day
>>157052668Random German princes do like to be royalty a lot. Us, the Belgians, the UK. Probably more, some of the scandis maybe?
dog attaque
Why are all TTs gay 25km with a hill courses?Give me a 70km pancake flat death TT with headcrosswinds.
>>157052970Also rain, please.
can vingegaard recover in time for the gp quebec / montreal?
>>157052970Pretty sure the actual UCI limit for ITT length is 45km, for some reason.
>>157052879The swedish one descents from a french soldier no idea about Danish don’t think they have a saxe-coburg
>>157053276didn't realize it started already
The Danish girl is watching it from her balcongy
>>157053327
>>157053343I'd love to have sex with her doggy style on that window
so what have been the most schizo takes on the nightly doping controls? Apparently the anti doping squad thought last week's performances were so freakish that they believed there was a high likelihood of dopage. Also... do you believe Pogacar was trying to get Del Toro to win the stage? Do you believe Remco could actually beat Pogacar last stage? Me personally am very skeptical that Pogacar was basically a shadow of his usual self the literal same day they checked him for doping in a highly unusual and unexpected way... Also, fishboi decides to leave the race also the same day. What are the fucking odds Berts?
>>157053430If you think teams are doping during competition then you're dumber than any team that would actually do that (and no team is dumb enough to do that)
>>157053487>teamsthe teams aren't involved, Marco. After the Festina fiasco, the teams pressured the riders to take care of it themselves.
>>157051966
>>157053540Heard this. Teams assist in a way apparently. Whether it's telling them it's too obvious, giving small bits of advice, giving the rider trusted contacts. Apparently some teams are more willing than others, and other teams have zero tolerance.
Surely tardling gets a top 10.
>>157053430>do you believe Pogacar was trying to get Del Toro to win the stagehow is this even a question? of course he was. and have him gain time in gc.>Pogacar was basically a shadow of his usual selfhe dropped everyone except toro and remco, took almost a minute on seixas, while going at something like 70% effort. he was basically strong as ever.
Belgian holiday today. Got me a 3-hour session on mywhoosh planned while watching elite athletes time trial. What a great day
>>157053579I think the coaches and directeur sportif possible play a significant role. Teams and higher ups themselves are probably completely clueless. All they care about is results... doesn't matter how as long as it doesn't reflect badly on them.
>>157053553i think those plants need water
>>157053624fuck zwift
>>157053553Nice harvest, friend.
>>157053553What are you going to do with them? That's a fair bit of carrot.
>>157053691Can't complain, first time I'm doing carrots. These are the summer carrots, winter carrots still in the ground.>>157053660Everything does, it's been dry af for a long time here. The strong will survive
>>157053717In the freezer they go.Best human invention since the wheel.For caseroles, potato mashess, as sidedish,... and keeping some raw for snacking of course.
>>157053430I don't they're doping. I think Tadej was trying to get Del Toro the win, but he didn't care if Remco won. I think it would have looked even worse if he outsprinted Remco just to get a win he didn't seem to really care about.
>>157053687Mywhoosh is free and pretty good but for winter I might try zwift again, but I rarely indoor during the summer
>>157053363??
>>157053593Whatever happened to this kid. He looked like he would be the next best thing in TT's and classics but he hasn't done shit
>>157053553Do you ever put the carrots in your ass?
Dan Hoole still has the size tag on the helmet, straight from the local decathlong
>>157053763yeah mywhoosh is the shiti'm a pretty big deal there, in cat 5
>>157053794>Do you ever put the carrots in your ass?dude how the fuck did you read my mind
>>157053794I'm not Scandinavian so I try to avoid homosexual behavior and broken collarbones.
>>157052316>How do you know?Everyone is reporting it.
>>157053771Ineos curse. Last 7 years or so has been pretty terrible for the team. It's like a black hole. Onley made a big mistake going there.>>157053886Is that the team that had all their riders tested though? Because I can only see that Remco was confirmed tested.
I thought ganna descended pretty slow looking and looks like he lost time too
Yep Ganna ain't winning this
>>157053845there's nothing gay about putting stuff up your ass, that's where your g-spot is located
So, uh, when is jonas going today?
>>157053933not ganna happen
>>157053752I remember reading about the ice trade where they cut massive ice blocks and sold them around the world for cooling. Having to dry proteins or stock nuts over winter must have been shit. There are places in the british isles that still live a semi sustenance farming lifestyle. Some of the small scottish islands still smoke fish for the winter because import costs are too expensive to solely rely on. I'm sure they can but when you're surrounded by fish you might as well save a chunk of money.
Just wondering would you wash a carrot before you stick it up there
>>157053907>Is that the team that had all their riders tested though?Found this english article. Twitter says all 8 were tested at the same time. https://cyclinguptodate.com/cycling/we-were-also-visited-last-night-remco-evenepoel-and-red-bull-team-subject-of-overnight-doping-tests-at-tour-de-france>"We were also visited last night. Some of the riders were already asleep and went along with the checks," reported team manager Ralph Denk on ZDF's morning show.>“It certainly hinders recovery,” Denk said. “Primarily, we have a dark past in cycling, and therefore it’s good that checks are being carried out here." The legal framework of doping tests allow for night testing during the race and Denk feels it adds credibility to the sport. He added: “The regulations allow for checks to be carried out late at night. It ensures that our sport is clean, that it’s credible, and therefore this is part of it.”
>>157053969So they've probably done multiple teams I'd imagine if Redbull are getting their entire team tested. Something must be bubbling.
>>157053961bongs used to haul massive chunks of ice down from the North and drop them in stone silos in castles
Dont recall any other nightly testing so if this is the local French anti doping who found a judge allowing it this could become a yearly thing.
>>157054077I was thinking last night that maybe the world cup was enough cover to hope this doesn't become international news. A good time to do an audit of the race. But that doesn't really make sense either because you'd do it earlier in the race with the world cup still going.
>>157054077at least hope they found something
>>157054077They are basically outrage baiting the news cycle to hype up the last week of the tour in my opinion, just free advertisement and engagement
>Jonas getting interupted in the middle of his hentai gooning session
>>157053961Yeah there were huge basements stocked with ice cut from the northpole. It was a huge business. I also use canning and fermenting for preservation but freezing is super easy.
bad look for the sport to do that to the top riders before a long day. very French move unless they do it to Seixas also.
Ale MADS
Pogacar might win today
>>157053767kek
>>157053767
>>157054077If some riders are caught (I guess for nighttime micro dosing) it should be mandatory once every tour otherwise just give up if none of the best can be caught.

KWAByuso
remco's thighs look significantly more pumped than at the start of this tour. I think his coaches wanted him to reach his absolute peak around now which could also explain why he won last stage. You can just tell he's sharp as razor right now. Probably best Remco we've ever seen. Pls don't crash my guy
>>157056488Grok gave them tips to optimize performance
Everyone apart from Ayuso is doing a great ITT

the scary thing about watching cycling is that any moment of serenity can be interrupted with a smash cut to a rider collapsed on the ground

Anyways, friday and satuday will be great
So Pogacar also judged the corner wrong?Smh’ing at the backseat riders ITT
>>157056849I wonder if he would’ve worked for Remco in those final alp stages or went for himself to gain 1+ minute
>>157056827Eurosport Commentators were scared shitless because they showed Skellymose on the ground in the finishing area right after the Lipo crash

>>157056849Not sure whether that's a good think though, his hatred for Lipo might have given him a boost
>>157056907Dont think you are allowed to have someone on your backseat on a TT bike
>>157056913see >>157056733
>>157056913Mathieu Skelmeaux
JUST tuned in for Seixas finish. He's 2nd for now. How many other fellers still riding and how many of them can out-pace The Hope of the French here?Also, is he really that good or is it all H Y P E (or somewhere in-between)?
>>157056896I'll go visit friends over the weekend.This sucks so hard, man.
toro better than expected
BAM another one
Remco chads, never in doubt
BAMAnother stage gifted by pogacar!
Last time a Belgian won a stage on 21th July was 1985 or something
>>157056941?I'll be double rooting for Pogi then
>Remco already aheadIt's OVERxas...
First Belgian to win back to back stages since the last one to do it
>>157056985yeah and on our national holiday
Remco wins
Mixed feelings for evenepoel, happiness at winning the stage, but joy at losing lipowitz
Belgians are at least super more friendly than Danes, this is a way better thread :3
The JUICE
>>157056999jej
Alors en danse zegt>KOERS IS VAN ONS
Tadej will get his revenge by riding circles around a struggling Remco during steeper climbs
>>157056999
top 10
>>157056774Good thing there was a barrier kek
>>157056988Yeah but you don't care.
>>157056985Tim Merlier last week
>>157056924Great save tbqh
>>157056999lmao
Comeback is on.
>>157056999Cheeky
>>157056174How do say KWAB in germoid
>>157057019GC
no bonus points for first place?
>>157056999kek
>>157056174when do they learn. danes and germans reaping KARMA
>>157057026true true
My team...
>>157056999top kek
>>157057058huh, voisard??
Only nine more TT stages like this and Remco will almost win the tour
>>157057058One more crash away from Lidl making the mythical 4-5 double
he's so skinny
>>157057058Pidock climbs another Rank, he can't be stopped
>>157056056that one is actually pure doped up performance
>>157056924>>157056774unironically wouldnt happen with big disc brakes, ie rim brakesyou can see the instant lockups
Bro aged 60 years
>>157057058>Jegat already in 9thamazing
>>157057070
>>157057080There's people with uijtebroecks, vingegaard and lipowitz
>>157057122kek
>>157057100Belgbros we're so close...
>>157057058Can he defend 2 mins
>>157057154
>>157056774Oh man.The bike was acting up strangely, any theories?Also, went down on right-hand in-side turn, but hit the outer kerb with his right shoulder still, much unlike Jonas yesterday, curious.
>>157057125>with uijtebroecksYou would have to be clinically retarded to pick him.
>>157057015cuck boy will be too busy nursing del toro to care about winning.
>>157057109>unironically wouldnt happen with big disc brakes, ie rim brakesrim brakes on road bike will forever be superior
>>1570571041yr ago
Same podium as 2025 Amstel.
Pidcvck only 0.38 seconds slower than Ganna, wild
>>157057227belgians.. explain yourselves
>>157057227What is that guys stack?
oh >we already made the 5 tour etappes per tour quota
>>157055649>>157055623Don't think a flying start is legal here.
>>157056174nice mufa retard
>>157057201>>157057104Would assume meth if he wasn't an athlete.
anyone know how long a warming down typically lasts?
UAE +0:23 to Lidl in the Team Classification.
>>157057285cool
I think this was the most impressive of Remco's TT wins in TDF, he will very likely be the 2nd best the rest of the way. Might even sneak another win if Pogacar continues to babysit Toro.
>>157057285So Pog has a full shelf of watches ?
Pidders officially a worse descender than Otruba
>>157057347they probably auction them
>>157057302>Would assume meth if he wasn't an athlete.yeah he looks like shit to be honestthis is a terrible sport...
>>157057371have a look at distance runners
just be like pogi. still chubby
>>157057405>just be like pogi.
>>157056174Hahaha get a load of this fucking bitter retard jinxing his compatriot with that shit. Fucking nigger.
>>157057165put on suncream berts
>>157057426you can't dope to achieve that. unless it's mitochondrial gene therapy
>>157057271are other countries even trying?
>>157057162Looks like it jumped a little going into the corner. There must be a wobble there in the road. This kind of inertia at that speed with the G forces and the light bike with thin contact patches is just a recipe for crash.
Now that the dust has settled, was remco evenepoel right to skip the tour d'auvergne rhone alpes and train instead?
>>157057624sure
>>157057586Why the fuck does he look like he's 50?What the fuck happened to Zoomers
>>157057752low body fat, a lot of sun exposure. Pog and Grug are like the only baby faced outliers in pro cycling
>>157057752Its not healthy being a pro cyclist.
Is it over for Pog? Only 36s on "Skjelmose"
If Pidcock hadn't received the 20s time penalty after stage 15, he would have been above Martinez in the GC.
>>157057842No, it was just Skjelmose's best day on the bike ever. He will return to his actual level again.
>>157057842He's already in recovery mode for the vuelta
Who's the biggest disappointment so far and why is it ayuso?
>>157058153probably Seixas tbqh
Lipowitz was wrong to take risks when he had already accepted the domestique role
>>157058153Objectively Jonas
>>157058153De Lie
>>157058153Humbly presenting the entire EF education easy post squad>>157058193>19 year old>>157058242hard argue>>157058258>was sick
>>157058153Pog>gifting away 3 stages (maybe more)absolutely pathetic
And what has your most regrettable fap and why was it also Reusser?
>>157058799Jerked one out to this post. Don't regret it though.
Based Jonas feeding the peasants
>>157059197het laatste avondmaal
>>157059197I bet Sepp Kuss is behind this.
>>157059197>Lipo feeds Remco McDonald's>he chokes
>>157059197Imagine being the private chef of that team
The speed difference on the flat part today, between checkpoint 3 and finish, between Evenepoel and Pogacar was such that if instead today just that part but 193km long, they would be tied in GC.
>>157059419What do yo mean, that would have been great for him. More preptime for the next day or just get drunk earlier.
>>157059442It means they dont like your burgers/food and would rather go to a McDonalds
>>157059197
>>157059467Visma overlords probably don't allow him to cook burgers
>>157059197Will Lipo do the same?
>>157059432remco can't keep it up for 190km. pogi should have superior endurance later on
We will never see a +50km ITT again will we berts?
>>157059552depends how good Seixas is at them
>>157056774OH FUCKI just came home. This looks extremely painful. His right shoulder is definitely broken. FUCK FUCK FUCK
>>157059552Side note there is no reason why they cant do an indoor TT and use the max distance per hour. Just imagine breaking the hour record in a grand tour, that would be awesome.
>>157059552they don’t even go above 30km and seixas lost time today so probably even more technical bullshit were you only can squeeze 20 secobds out
>>157059668Ignore the part were you start one rider per hour times 180 riders
>>157059613kek true>>157059643Calm down it looked like a bog standard clavicle fracture.
>>157059643Don’t worry bert he’s in Herentals now.
>>157059197I'm actually suprised how much slop cyclists consume. When they get stage wins they all drink at dinner, and now this. If I'm 60 kg and two weeks into a grand tour I don't think I could handle alchohol or fucking slopdonalds, my stomach would die
>>157059711Just let them all start at the same time on a very large velodrome, ever admit that its actually a scratch race.
>>157059734I mean for big endurance sports Mcdonalds has all you need for recovery.. I don’t think it’s that bad of a cheat meal
>>157059552probably not. ITT became shorter when they had to think about screen time
>>157059643Yer fakking fault by praying fer a Pogi crash m8 innit
the whole peloton is gonna hate Seixas if this will continue
>>157059734it's just macros mostly, unless there's banned hormones etc in the meat. less of a problem in europe
>>157059793If they didn't put so many additives and preservatives it would be perfect. Those nitrates destroy the stomach. Fresh beef burgers with fries is perfect. Side salad or chicken or cheese salad too. Burger meals are the best.
nothing moved today TT’s are useless this short
honestly, without Jonas even if he had 0 chance of winning, the tour is just much more boring. Even the TT today would have been more interesting if he was involved.
>>157059734well they're burning like 5000 calories in a stage if not more, they can pretty much eat whatever they want at that point
>>157060050>>157060419im not talking calories or macros, im talking grease and checmicals, even though european mcdonads is like 5x healthier than america, mcdonalds bloats me the fuck up
>>157060317The mountain stages will be piss boring as well, because UAE will focus on keeping Del Toro on the podium.
>>157060943doesn't really matter what they eat though, even if it's 100% slop they're doing so much exercise that their bodies just push everything through. Similar stuff with other athletes, they can just consume thousands upon thousands of calories per day and because the amount of work they are doing it just doesn't matter even if the shit is unhealthy
I, against all reason, believe that Magnus CORT will win tomorrow.
>>157061082I used to think this but really it was just weak cope to justify eating junk. It does make a difference. Shit food makes you feel like shit. Doesn't matter if you need the calories.
>>157060988It’s all on 19 year old Seixas to attack Del torro unless Ayuso saved himself for week three
>>157059917they did monday at 8h30 pm
Breakaway tomorrow? Grug maybe?
>>157060267no
>>157061908Veistroffer solo followed by a sprint of a small bunch with Mads as winner
>>157061908if i had to take a shot every time danish commentators said "big day tomorrow" or "saving himself for tomorrow, it's a big day" during today i'd be hospitalized
Just saw the TT from todayMy schizodane powers from my german hotelroom ensured the germoidschizo got bad karma hence the Lipo chuteGood to see alot of fans booing Pogi, some even giving him the finger, very basedAnd my king Remco what a lad
can remking challenge pogatsar on montmartre?
>>157062141>And my king Remco what a ladI like remco but if he got too good he'd get the poogacar treatment. He is a weak bitch who was converted to islam. As long as he stays as a complete meme rider who wins occasional monuments and WC's I will be content. Fundamentally he's a grotty cuck freak like poogashart and cringefaart.

>>157062622I'm still fuming about 40cm handlebar minimum. Fucking boomers.
>>157057107I never understand why people think this was so insaneit was tailor made for him with 2 super steep ramps and he also gained 30 seconds alone on Pog just from outdescending/better bike handling him
>>157061908Grug has one. this one is for the EF boys
>>157057019name a better team at picking overhyped shit than Ineos
y-ynr sagan :(
>>157059197hornerpilled
>>157064183Always get a kek out of these images. It's so comically american.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ME076RTFbRE
>>157061083Not a bad shout. I'd love for a Cort or Simmons (mostly simmons) win tomorrow. Teams are starving little africans right now. The lack of stage opportunities is brutal. It'll be fought like a world war. I suspect the doping suspicions are related. The lack of opportunities is damaging to the sport. Merilier death is a good thing because of that. IF it ends in a sprint, and I don't doubt sprinters will be turning themselves inside out tomorrow, it will be a hard fought finish. The narrative going into this mediocre profile is brilliant. It makes a very average looking stage into a completely open book.
>>157059734>>157059793>>157061176McDonald's is my go to post race food as you can always find one somewhere close by and get food fast. The sloppiness isn't a problem if you don't eat slop all the time. I've been trying to test my semi local artisanal burger joint that has gotten a lot of good reviews now two days in a row but I've been out too late. Yesterday I was there 15 minutes after it closed and today it was closed when I got there 15 minutes before it was supposed to be closed. I'll get to test it some day.
>>157062715It's at the widest part with bar tape Bert. The 40 cm width is a literal nonissue. Even my aerocoach bar clears that.
Give me back baby face remco and all the hopium that came with him.
