Better to get it out of the system now hehe. Also the new S5 is basically confirmed, new fork aside from the handlebar and some small tweaks.
As an aside, our nationals course was finally unveiled. What a massive rampa, hah! You wish, the total elevation gain for the 190km course is 1200m. Interesting to see how this will play out.

It's basically a 14km long false flat with 100m elevation change and maximum gradients of 1-2%, but there's a short rampa in the middle with ~30m elevation and an average gradient of around 4%. Overall very flat yes.

rides's 135 bpm average at 242w very steady state except for that dip where it drops real low but at then he has a ride 89 bpm at 228w?

When I take my bikes I always fly "business" class (well they call it that way, it's the typical Lufthansa group fake medium-haul business class) with Condor which has one free sports item. They also have the 30kg limit but I never exceeded it with my bike case + bike + equipment (spare tyres, tubes, etc.). From my experience they don't really care about the weight limit at all if you're not flying economy anyways.

Pretty funny when you just drove through Germany where everyone dutifully uses their indicators all the time, and when there is a sign with 80 on an empty highway they immediately slam on the brakes so the speed limit is observed.

I wonder what they would do in the future if the yellow jersey changed hands on this stage. The whole parade stuff is a pretty integral part of Tour de France now but it wouldn't make sense to parade a jersey you lose 2 hours later.
Would they scrap the idea even if it was really fun to watch?

montmarte is too narrow of a road to not have some hispanophone positionlet get caught out and then someone drilling it for their 9th place on GC. there will be continuous memeattaques, if serious classic runners are willing to get in breaks when its all flat they will do it with the hills especially. impossible to slurp

if they do it at the start of the season it restricts the location way too much with the cold. still extremely stupid, especially when most years its in warm southern cities, but they value the "flexibility" of the koers more than actually having the top runners on the start. not sure why they can't just change it on a year-by-year basis but i assume there's some UCI bureaucracy this infringes upon.

What a strange case he is. Out of the blue he was 7th at the WC in Glasgow after being in the early break, then he did pretty well in Norway and Croatia and since then he has been completely MIA. Contract through 2027 too

I have psyoped myself on the anti-Ineos/bong picks.
He was there for me with PLUIMERS, TARLING, RIVERA, FIORELLI and DE PRETTO.
At least FIORELLI is a good pick that will still do stuff.
But the Ineos guys? Nah. They won't do shit.

The sprinters that can get over the hills will make sure others aren't there. The finish will probably be controlled by Trek (for Mads or Vacek), Alpecin (Groves) and IPT (Strong).

But maybe some GC rider tries something early and makes it too hard even for those guys.

Same, don't know what my plan is but I don't want to be a wagie till retirement age. I guess the safe option is to be some greybeard knower in a corp who is technically employed but not bothered more than 5-10 hours a week.
Perfect solution would be to wage up and invest for the next 10 years and be done before I am fiddy.

The other side of Oder is not the prettiest but it is mine, it is not the worst considering modern hive building.

A classic sprint stage in the heart of Italy means time for another fabulous /WORLD TOUR WINE/ !!

Today's stage crosses from Modena in Emilia-Romagna to its finish in Viadana in Lombardy. I decided on a CLASSIC wine from just outside Modena, made in a CLASSIC style. Lambrusco is a rare bird in the wine world - a sparkling red!

Terrevive Bergianti "No Autoclave" Lambrusco dell-Emilia Rosato (NV, $26)

There are a lot of different ways to put carbonation into a wine, from sterile "tank method" used in Prosecco to the elaborate, labor intensive methode Champenoise used in Champagne. Lambrusco is traditionally made using the methode ancestrale, in which the wine undergoes only a single primary fermentation in bottle without the addition of any additional sugar. This is the same technique used in traditional beer making and most "pet nat" wines. The name of this wine says it all -- "No Autoclave". This is naturally made, organic grapes.

This pours a light red, ruby with a strong but slightly coarse mousse. The nose is funky but fun. There some reduction here, some Bretty barnyard wildness, but the fruit is the star with wild cherry, earth, alpine herbs, light orange rind. The palate is lively - the carbonation is there, but the fruit, acidity, and minerality all shine thru.

Man, what a bargain at $26. Super tasty, super drinkable, interesting. Plus I like the way the bottle looks.

For my fellow burgers, this is imported by Rosenthal which is probably my favorite importer. Everything is natural and super interesting/flavorful, lots of great options that don't break the bank.

I say it again, top tier strategy by Lidl, Alpecin in shambles. they knew their Australian fatso won't do shit on that rampa after getting dropped on every hill on this stage and yet they pulled bardet and vacek back.
