Goddamn, Vingegaard and Lipowirz being out sucks even more now with UAE literally shitting the bed. We at least could have had the illusion that someone would try something from a distance in the Alpes. Now everyone will just ride to defend their spot.

me whole trip so far is planned with that tool, I spend probably 20mins with it and its absolutely perfect so far. the crux is which profile you go for - rennrad (when you want to go fast), rennrad weniger verkehr, includes bundesstrasse and landstrasse here and there), rennrad sehr wenig verkehr  (if you go with your /cyc/ gf. you do have a /cyc/ gf bert dont you?)

Komoot was okay some time ago but as someone who knows all the roads around here it sends you on some absolutely disgusting roads. Like downhill cobbles and farmer roads when it's absolutely not necessary.
Also when looking for routes from others I've been getting the same 10 maps for like a year or more


For example
We are planning a ride that goes from Imst in Austria over Fernpass to Erhwald
Obviously riding that on the road is a no-go, I rode it in car many a times and even it car it sucks.
Apparently there's several bike paths around and majority of them seem on tarmac
So this is the use case I am looking for, to verify if the bike path is rideable all the way on a road bike or if there's some nasty hidden surprise.

He gets very little chances though, either he's with mads and can't attack and take the points or he's some group behind and can't bridge over risking bringing other point takers.
Vacek has it even worse because he's a lighter mads

> Naesen heeft gehoord dat de controleurs op zoek zouden zijn naar een groeihormoon. “Het is om iets op te sporen dat maar drie uur in je bloed zit. Er bestaan zulke dopingproducten. Je kunt dat niet op Plateau de Solaison nemen, want waarom zou je dat nemen voor een rustdag? Je moet controleren op een moment dat het belangrijk is, niet om elf uur ’s avonds”, aldus de 35-jarige renner.





> “Adam Yates has stomach problems. He had to vomit, but he was doing better today. With Brandon, it’s different,” Matxin says, referring to Brandon McNulty, who abandoned during stage eighteen. “He has no fever, he doesn’t have corona, and he hasn’t delivered any positive health tests. But he does have symptoms, especially a sore throat.” 

> And then there is Tim Wellens, who finished last today, 43 minutes behind winner Richard Carapaz. “With Tim, it’s different. He isn’t sick. After he had done his thing and was dropped, it was better to recover. Today was a breakaway stage where we weren’t going for the win. It’s better to recover then.”

My cousin along with his sub-50 minute AdZ wife is there right now. They're staying at some hotel in the ski station. His wife is riding in the cars tomorrow while my cousin with daughter is going to try to make it to the race. He says it's absolutely insane and he cannot see any way he can even leave hotel it's so swarmed with people. He had to drive car off road to make it to hotel before the checkpoints closed due to capacity.











> According to the CEO of Visma-Lease a Bike, the organization would be better off charging a symbolic fee to be allowed up the mountain, creating a barrier so that only true fans can make it to the top.

> "There are also quite a few people standing there now who think it's Carnival, who are downing beer all day and at some point don't know what they're doing anymore. That is really going to become a problem."

> "Once again: the course and the crowd, in my opinion, are the biggest dangers for the Tour de France," said Plugge

Here he is again, he doesn't even have relevant rider and he's still whining


 >>/107776/
I would understand the case for cars and caravans, as they create lots of traffic around stages.
People would just take hiking paths or walk thorugh meadows ig they would try to chrage money, like the security forces in France are already wasted on way too long road closures or entrances to public buildings (security theatre that always annoys me when visiting France)
















 >>/107776/
God, I hate this guy
> "It is simply becoming more and more dangerous," he explains. "And that is precisely why Jonas crashed on Sunday. It was a very dangerous spot that was poorly marked—life-threatening, in fact. As a result, we’ve now lost the rider sitting second in the Tour de France," Plugge sighs.

These retards will never take responsibility for the way they have been riding these past 5 years or so. Didn't they realize that once they stopped fighting for position in every curve on every sprint stage, we immediately saw way less crashes?





Prediction: Pogi drops out today due to illness. Remco cracks and loses 5 minutes. Seixas attacks Del Toro with 5km to go on AdH to take yellow jersey. He wins Tour and the entire country of France burns down due to rioting

> Je ris, mais en fait ça m'effraie. C'est voir le cyclisme par le petit bout de la lorgnette. Savez-vous la première raison pour laquelle les élus veulent une étape du Tour de France, de Paris à Nice ou du Tour Auvergne Rhône-Alpes? C'est parce que c'est gratuit.

Got the spot, it is approximately 12km from meta:

 >>/107883/
Barely noticeable two be 2bh. Suspect the spectacle you reference is people riding far beyond what's recommended.
 >>/107886/
Usually after 400-ish km. Just unhook the chain and drop it in the pot, put a fresh chain on, takes a minute or two. Then if I've gone through all of them, turn the pot on, wait a few hours, pull them out and that's it.






















 >>/107901/
Doesn't match my experience at all. It's perhaps very slightly more noisy than just-applied squirt, but evens out after a while. Slightly easier to keep re-applying squirt of course but that also means build-up of squirt-gunk. The trade-off is a no-brainer imo (plus better parts longevity).






































I don't really get what's happening to domestiques in the past 2 years.

2022-2024 both Visma and UAE had domestiques decimating the race every stage from break formation, consistently dropping almost all other GC riders.

Now, they're either complete shit from the start of the race or are dead by week 3.

Points in, now the heckin raycism is starting to sting, I really thought BITTNER will be worse that GIRMAY maybe 300, 400 points tops, and if GIRMAY chutes he will be better. Not a 1000 points. Not like that, forfeiting the maillot.

















































Been thinking of the best possible veloteam and what I could've done different. Obviously Lipo was a mistake in hinsight, scoring under 900p before crashing out. So Remco in instead for 16p. THJ is scoring just over 1000p, so decent pick for 10, but Carapaz at 8p would've been better. Quinn Simmons has been a decent point hauler, Baudin a bit worse than I expected, and Girmay has been great but Mads would've probably been even better. McNulty could've been good before the crash happened.

Pogacar 34
Remco 16
Del Toro 14
Carapaz 8
Mads 10
Artz 4
Russo 4
Quinn 4
Kanter 6

Switching Girmay in but having Schmid or Simmons there could've also worked, or Jegat. But yeah, not having Carapaz in was a huge mistake, don't know what I was thinking. I think I was simply fixated on getting many good 6 pointers in and not realizing that a great 8 pointer is far more valuable.






 >>/108350/
You get used to it from simply riding, last year when I did a few weeks of 20h+/week it was amazing how quickly the body acclimated. The first 6h+ ride with efforts felt very hard, a couple weeks later with harder efforts and 1000kJ more energy expenditure felt like a breeze. High volume felt so good that I am somewhat seriously thinking about taking a sabbatical year after I get my PhD and just focusing on riding for a while, see if I could make it to a NC podium finish

rewatching the alpe hue. commentators noticed the lower amount of spectators compared to previous editions and attributed it to either the authorities closing the entry pretty early or some Dutch man trying to charge an admission fee of 100 Euros at the bottom.



 >>/108349/
Yeah, the race is far too top heavy for 6 pointers, I mean if you hit your Schmid, Simmons (you did, nice) and Jegat that is great but these are 3 out of like 15 you should consider, good luck with that crapshoot.

It is also TdF and there are guys who just perform no matter how iffy was their season, so Carapaz, Girmay, Pedersen, Jegat, Russo, VPP.































 >>/108387/
Also GC completely settled after stage 6, only two Horse Category climbs before stage 19 and the eventual winner being more focused on getting his teammate on the podium than actually beating his "rivals". Dreadful race






















































 >>/108440/
But there are ways of designing a route that don't automatically give him two and a half minutes of advantage on the first mountain stage. The Tourmalet stage was tailor made for him to get a small gap over the top and then kill the rest of the race on the last, easier climb. It was like the Galibier stage in 2024, only with more terrain to grow out the gap after the final, hard climb.




 >>/108441/
 >>/108445/
How would you design the route? Any mountain stage would result in Pogacar winning or trying to gift the win to Del Toro. You could do exclusively flat and hilly stages to discourage GC action but I have a feeling you be complaining more if that was the case.

 >>/108446/
I wouldn't mind that personally. But every grand tour when break aways win I see a lot of Berts complain about that too. I think it's an impossible task to design a GT route that everyone likes.



























 >>/108471/
Honestly I think the tactic (as long as pogi races) is let him take a lot of time in week 1 with some hard climbs.
Week 2 lots hilly and rouleur stages where you can't really take much time unless you do some risky attacks, maybe some GC fuckery in the break.
And then week 3 the classic mountains, to see with GC guys can't handle the 3 weeks.

 >>/108461/
Has to be one of the most embarrassing stages ever. I remember so much hype before it, only for the biggest semen slurping performance ever.

The final TT was kino on its own, but it really completely killed the race. The top 3 being bonis man and 2 pure diesels also didn't help. Maybe it could've been a bit better if Memco didn't DNF.













They need to invite some fun, aggressive pro teams like the Rockets and Modern Adventure. Total Energies, Cofidis, and Picnic PostNL are just totally useless in any startlist (I'm aware Picnic PostNL is a WT team, but they shouldn't be)










But to be fair in this tour a lot of riders didn't get anything to play with.
What is a uphill sprint merchant like aranburu even doing here, they gave him one stage to try and that's the one grug won.
