I've got a paypig friend who rides with the previous model and he swears by it

 >>/55797/
Can you buy it without that huge ugly FACTOR and BLACK INC branding?

Lidl-Trek is now deutsch. they even have more German riders than Bora (3 > 2)

 >>/55800/
Always has been.
Also Jens comes every year to my local Trek store to ride (=Z2 slurp and coffee) with the boys.

this is the best we can do chief

I guess I can start collecting the new jerseys and post them in the new thread and once PCS uploads the mini versions I can update the team flags here. But I don't really like any of the new jerseys so far.

This Lotto-Wanty team is really really really unbelievably bad. If De Lie has not done any training again they are basically CT level. Terengganu is better

 >>/55811/
I don't really understand how this went
> fuse team
> all good riders for intermarche are free to go
> end up with the lotto team and all its jobber 
> but also end up with all the intermache staff who almost bankrupted the team like that retard visbeek
it's the worst of all worlds

If you told me this was the new Bingoal team I would believe it. Take away De Lie and Van Dopevelt and it is absolutely shocking

 >>/55812/
Basically this I suppose. Combine two shit teams and you get, well... Shit

 >>/55814/
yes but they combined the shit parts and forgot to keep the few good parts like barré, rex bussato and nigmay
but atleast they kept Reuben Thompson

And now for something else. The new Parkhotel Valkenburg tea-... Wait this is a WT team as well???

surely playing padel in morocco for a month is just a cover story for dopage

 >>/55815/
And Matthew Fox. That guy was pretty decent in LOST so at least there's that

 >>/55817/
he's been in portugal and spain for a while now, which is a LOT more than he did last year

Caught a flat, rear. At least it banged.

 >>/55824/
F

burger was a okay
beer is a okay

 >>/55824/
haven't experienced a bang flat yet best I could do was the wheezing fart type

Paul Sex-ass moved to Nice apparently

...who

 >>/55827/
I didn't notice initially, I thought I ran over some bag or whatever that did the bang. Noticed it is a complete flat a while later after I restarted after the dentist.

Spoke with me good friend about his winter training, or the lack of.
He rapes twice, 2 hours a week total maximum.
What would you recommend to such a wattlet? He's only doing z2 rn but i think thats waste of time
I told him to do 30/30s and some 25 min zwift climb threshold.

 >>/55836/
yea 1 day vo2 efforts of any kind and the other day some z4 effort but lets face it he won't do either and at 2h/week the outlook is not too bright anyways

speaking of not too bright I have been woken up by the unpleasant noise of some dude crashing his car into some parked cars in my street with like 80+ kph and the still ongoing clean up is making quite a racket. I'm supposed to get up in like 4h

The final BIG event of the year is starting tomorrow: the 59th edition of the Vuelta Ciclista Internacional a Costa Rica!
It looks like it will be a battle between the local teams 7C - Economy - Hyundai and Colono Bikestation Kölbi and the Ecuadorians Movistar Best PC. 
The big names include defending champ Luis Daniel Oses, former conti star Kevin Rivera, other local Tico heroes like Daniel Bonilla, Sergio Arias, Pablo Mudarra, Alejandro Granados, Joseph Ramirez as well as continental heavyweights like Santiago Montenegro, Richard Huera and Byron Guamá. Other international superstars include Cormac McGeough, Kenny Nijssen and a certain Quintana. 

The route includes a 17 km mountain ITT and two stages featuring the mythical Cerro de la Muerte, stunning images are sure to be had!

pedal harder innit? 2h/wk you can recover from anything

for me it is half dozen šnyts

 >>/55836/
6x5min as hard as you can on one day and 1h maximal TT as hard as you can on the other day. 
 >>/55841/
Looks good, think I'll go get a non-alcoholic lager from the fridge

 >>/55842/
I used to do 5x5 and god damn my legs felt like bricks

 >>/55836/
Yeah, one vo2max one threshold is probably the best for him

 >>/55843/
Yup it's a disgusting protocol but seems to work. 
For those interested here is the original Hickson protocol which brought the biggest vo2max improvements in the recorded literature:
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/838658/
6x week of training with 6x5min max on one day and 40min max TT on the other day, alternating between those.
