German NC two years ago was even more of a shitfest. No time gaps, no distance left, commentators didn't know what was happening up front and at some point they just lost connection to the motos for 20 minutes or more and two runners (lennergy I think) just vanished from the front. They were dropped from the front but not in G2 and nowhere to be seen between G1 and G2. Eventually they just turned up again, what a joke

Yes well, I will have these random revelations about absolutely obvious stuff.
I think I was near 30 when it dawned on me that a main street named after a nearby town will be the street that leads towards that town.
I am now forgetting most of them because of huge auto-embarassement.

It dawned on me now that chevalier comes from cheval. And I know the word cheval since like 20 years. At least 10 since I learned cavallo.
And Polish kawaleria (general name for a horseback unit) derives from these, the same as kawaler, a member of kawaleria but also an unmarried man (me, and most of us but Norbert, Bertele, Suissebert, Patjebert, at least one of the Burgerberts).

Depending on what happens these next few stages, this Giro could end up as the 2011 Tour. A dreadful first two weeks followed by pure kino in the last week that makes everyone forget how bad the first part of the race was. Although now that I think about it, the 2011 Tour was even worse than this Giro in the first two weeks.

Well today has been a very, very interesting day of racing. But it was a complete disaster for my Veloteam. So we have a very fine bottle to celebrate the beauty and the tragedy of ciclismo through our continued journey on /WORLD TOUR WINE/.

Today's selection is very interesting, one of the really unique bottles of the year that I would probably never buy aside from this little /WTW/ experiment. Amarone della Valpolicella is grown in the hills above Verona, just south of today's stage finish.

This wine has a very interesting background. This is a red blend of a couple obscure local grapes (80% Corvina Veronese, 20% Rondinella), but the uniqueness comes from the process. After picking, the grapes are left to dry in lofts for months where they lose at least 40% of their moisture, turning to soft raisins. These raisins are then vinified with a slow, cold fermentation for roughly two months. The wine is then aged in old French oak for at least two years (seven in this wine's case) before bottling.

BERTani Amarone della Valpolicella Classico 2012 ($160)

Decanted for three hours so far at tasting. This pours a light ruby/garnet, almost a middle-aged Pinot Noir appearance, but the viscosity is high with thick, long legs. The nose has been slowly blossoming and building since opening bottle. It was initially muted and flat - I was worried I caught bottle in a dumb phase. Now, there is incredible density of golden currant, fig, and molasses. It is such an onslaught of rich secondary sweet notes. The palate then lifts, with lovely acidity and ripe cherry wrapped around all those rich sweet raisinated flavors. The tannins are just pure chocolate (semi-sweet).

Wow, wow, wow. So interesting. It is not quite profound, but it is amazing. So complex, such depth. It is rich and lithe at the same time. Really a special bottle.

Cheers and RIP to my Veloteam.

For /WTW/, I think I've had three bottles so far in ~$160 range (this, Castello Romitorio Brunello di Montalcino [Strade Bianche], Mas de Boislauzon Chateauneuf du Pape Tinot [Paris-Nice]).

Most expensive bottles I've ever had are probably $4-5k, but I don't buy anything that expensive myself, just taste from friends/at events.

Nothing really justifies that price tag. Above a certain price point, you're just paying for how sought after the wine is (small production, hype, etc) rather than quality. 

That being said, I have had some four-figure wines that were religious experiences and some four-figure wines that I was like "huh, that's it?".

The best wine is something high quality, served with the best food, with the best people around you, in the best place.

I have the same feeling with whisky, I never bought a bottle more expensive than a hundred euro but I have had quite a few of those, the jump between 50 and a 100 can be barely noticeable.
I'd imagine it would be the same between a 100 and a 1000 eurobux.

Speaking of shitcock

> Although things have calmed down as the weeks have gone by, Pidcock's latest statements to Marca may stir up the henhouse once again. The Q36.5 star has left his participation in the Vuelta a España very much in doubt: "I don't think I am. The idea was to come to the Giro, prepare for the Ardennes and extend the season a bit longer. I feel tired because I've been racing since January," Tom Pidcock confesses. This could potentially lead to a large amount of criticism if it comes to be by the time we reach August.

It is good sometimes to be in society, especially if you don't care too much.
I haven't been on any true vacation trips since my teens, I was pondering the most plebean, almost vile, all-inclusive vaycay in some hotel where I would be just searing in sun and then temper in the pool.
Some walkarounds through whatever town I am at in between.

I hope the focaccia and whatever else is good at least and they're not charging the tourist tax for food truck level of slop.

It was a bit tougher than I expected to Vernazza, the path goes up and down and stuff. Wtf is this, we don't have that SHIT at home. I saw a lot of Am*ricans in the beginning, but halfway nobody anymore. They must have all died or turned back. I saw a guy with some pregnant chick and two small children. They were already completely FUCKED and going at snail's pace. This was about 20 minutes in.

When did Ali bike parts become so expensive? Wheelsets were an absolute bargain, nowadays I can mostly just buy the Western brands counterparts on sale and don't have to hassle with Chinese shipping and returns. Looks similar for frames. What a shame.

Not sure what you mean when I put together my china bike I only paid 1/3 of what a western brand bike would've cost altogether, frame only cost around 1/6th of a comparable western frame and the wheelset was around 1/4th. However I bought both of those on the chinese brands website directly

Really? Aren't the only decent zipp wheels well over 2k €? The low tier zipp wheels are all pretty heavy and narrow from what I know and they are all hookless deathtraps aren't they. Anyhow yeah winspace is crap, always has been. Just heavily marked up stuff engineered by others.
I bought a set of 50mm wheels from xmcarbonspeed for around 800€ all in all with some discount and that wheelset weights 1150g which is like 200g+ lighter than whatever the best zipps were and they are also wider, 34mm external. I recommend checking that company out they make top tier quality

cheers, there's a fairly active forum dedicated to chinese frames/wheels/anything called chinertown .com that I can recommend checking out. There are threads for just about any and all chinese brands, people buy and test anything they can get their hands on so you get a very good insight on good deals and whats reliable and good quality and who sells dirt.

> Team manager Richard Plugge doesn't mince his words in the latest WielerFlits Podcast and former rider Nathan Van Hooydonck underlines that. When both riders are in top form, Plugge's Danish leader is the better of the two. "Due to circumstances, Jonas was simply less in the final week last year. I do think that UAE Emirates XRG has made progress after the time trial to Combloux in the 2023 Tour. But so have we. And we are mainly looking at ourselves, how we can improve our performance. Compared to last year, we have made another big step in that regard."

My god what did they do to him

> And in our view, Jonas is better at that, to be able to handle that accumulation of fatigue etc
A bit bold saying this about a guy that just won 2GT + 2 monuments + WC the same season

its just to hook investors isn't it, like tech companies do
> hurr durr we use AI in our products look we're cutting edge please invest 
imo everything the LABrats say and do is just to get some media traction so plugge can get more money out of their paypigs 
> the control room
> the bit where they follow pog to gather data before they blow up
> all those weird ass social media posts from training camp where they wear gillets and no jersey like wtf

The combination of crumbling mountain rocks accumulating on a glacier and then the glacier sliding into the valley becuase of all the additional weight of the rocks on top of it is really a freak occurance.
The houses that survived are now getting flooded because the rocks created a barrage.
