alright the sprint teams may still chute but its not the same if there's no gc on the line

WW2 battle when stupid Pol-acks again took the brunt of a suicidal attack on the monastery, eventually taking it.
There's a pretty scenic cemetery as well, guess now we have signs in Polish.
Heroism good and all, let them rest in peace, but there are too many Monte Cassino, Arnhem, Somosierra, too few Vienna, Grunwald, Chocim.

He does say that he didn't understand that Mas was talking about aiming for the podium before the race. And that he may have felt good in training but that the races are the real test and Mas has failed that test. Basically, he says that Mas was huffing hopium to give himself confidence.

Grand Prix Antwert Port Epic / Sels Trophy tomorrow

Last year it was a BIG upset (a TSD, one might say) with Timo KIELICH winning sprint a duet over Rasmus WALLIN.
WALLIN has been then unceremonially FIRED from UNO-X mobility and has been scraping the barrel's end at various danish clubs.







 >>/88669/
gonna try to make it to Montréal next year for the race, we'll be busy moving this year

no walnut oil, I've never added it and the walnuts do a great job infusing through the bread on their own (if you do use it, add sparingly and mix it when you mix the main dough)

> The Enhanced Games (TEG) is an upcoming multi-sport event. Founded by Australian businessman Aron D'Souza, it plans to allow athletes to use performance-enhancing substances without being subject to drug tests
I wonder how many of our beloved riders will participate in this event.

> it has 4 (four) danes
> two of them with the last name ANDERSEN (not related)

this team is too fishy and there's something illegal going on, bust them

ah okay well I guess for front shifting its not that impossible after all- > RD cable died after 40k
I talked to some trusted oldfags and ancientfags irl about this and they said that back in the day with shifters that had cables exist like so getting 15-20k out of a rear cable was not unheard of especially when you rode terrain with reduced shift frequency (flat or long climbs) but they all deemed that impossible after that got changed. One of them still rides mechanical and he gets 7-10k per rear cable but we also have to shift very frequently all ride here.

my googling said 2-3 years, sometimes more
my average ride looks like this, i switch gears frequently
my childhood Favorit I still have at one of my summerhouse's will have a cable that still works after all these years, probably, but it is the old shifting on the frame

















 >>/88745/
I only do with my dad when I visit home (he exclusively rides gravel in a Gall-esque position with mirrors on his handlebars and helmet, riding an $8k Specialized gravel bike that he doesn't maintain at all, up to the point of asking me what the purpose of oiling the chain was)















 >>/88760/
I don't know how they get there but some time ago I encountered a van slowly driving through the woods at a point that was at least 5k away from the nearest road
I also encounter motorbikes and quads frequently and they are so fucking annoying

um speaking of janitorial stuff. I need to speak to the manager and it's not about sumo. 
I'm trying to delete a dog themed thread someone just posted (don't check the catalog), but I keep getting an error message for the captchas. um this happens on the endchan.net url. 
will try .org and report back

It's kinda weird.
Essentially they are spamming cp. Except some of the images they use isn't cp at all (luckily). Some are bestiality (which is similarly illegal in the US). Occasionally they use the non-nude photos of an undoubtedly 18+ negress. Still deleting due to the links they share with them.

 >>/88743/
In my hometown there is a few sections of rough, old brick sidewalks. When I started riding I used to hop off the street onto the sidewalk and imagine I was Cancellara. This is the beauty of our sport, so easy to connect yourself to the legends.

 >>/88748/
If there was significant gravel within riding distance of me I'd be a full convert, but there isn't, so I'm firmly road only in protest.

Back home from the hospital yesterday. We first had hopes that the baby boy would be a better sleeper than our first, but doesn't seem to be the case – I slept a grand total of around 2.5h last night. 
Maybe he needs to hear the lulling sound of a rapemachine

> In Buggenhout, Flanders, a train struck a school bus at a level crossing on Tuesday morning. Several passengers were killed, Belgian media report. The accident occurred around 8:15 a.m. on Tuesday morning at the level crossing on Stationsstraat. Several people have died, HLN and VRTNWS report, citing sources. Emergency services are present in large numbers to provide assistance. It is still unclear how the accident occurred.
Man what a nightmare. I do admit I am a bit more sensitive about this shit now


As Giro is abroad again today, some old stories are filling the newspaper today.
> Koblet wird sein enger Freund, und obwohl die beiden nicht im selben Team fahren, unterstützt ihn Clerici beim Giro 1953 und verrichtet Helferdienste. Von seiner italienischen Equipe wird er darauf ausgeschlossen. Deswegen beantragt er den Schweizer Pass, Copain Koblet holt ihn ins Nationalteam. Am Giro 1954 reisst Carlo Clerici in der sechsten Etappe mit vier anderen unbekannten Fahrern aus, er gewinnt nicht nur die Etappe, sondern hat über eine halbe Stunde Vorsprung aufs bummelnde Feld. Die Stars wie Fausto Coppi glauben, Clerici werde in den Bergen einbrechen. Als er in Mailand als Sieger einfährt, wird er vom Publikum ausgebuht und als Landesverräter beschimpft.
Clerici did help Koblet in 1953 as friend, so his Italian team threw him out. With a Swiss mother and growing up in Zürich he bacame a Swiss citizen and joined a new team In 1954 he won a Giro stage with 30 minutes ahead of the slurping pedalton, as Coppi thought he could easily get those back in the alps. He couldn't and Italians were furious that the traitor won the Giro.


I'll leave this untranslated:
> Die Kommentatoren sind verwirrt. Kurz vor dem Ortseingang von Santa Maria steigt der Leader vom Rad. «Was passiert hier? Radwechsel?», fragt der Mann am Mikrofon. Nein – Tom Dumoulin hat ein anderes Problem. Der Niederländer steigt vom Rad, zieht den Helm aus, zieht sein pinkes Trikot über den Kopf. Als er die Träger seiner Hose runterlässt, merkt der Kameramann langsam, was droht, und schwenkt ab. Denn ja: Dumoulin setzt sich in den Strassengraben und entleert seinen Darm.




 >>/88865/
No I live in a mid sized city in New England. There is some nice gravel around an hour drive away but mostly steeper climbs. My dream would be to do most of my training on gravel flat or reasonable climbs, as it seems some berts can do.






> Suddenly he ran out of steam. Ruud was given two medical time-outs and used the 4th set, during which he walked lethargically across the court, to let the medication do its work. At a 0-5 score, the Russian also needed treatment. In the fifth set, Ruud was back to his old self.
LOL. And no squeaking at all about shit like this










































































Last rampa is hell and hot, even when walking and I'm not even 1/3 up. While the tour de suisse mostly attracts locals, there's tons of international hobby cyclists riding the closed roads in advance.










reminder that abrahamsens collarbone healed in 9 days (he had surgery though)
> 'This should not have been possible' says Uno-X as Norwegian rider cleared to start Tour less than three weeks after collarbone fracture
> Norway's Jonas Abrahamsen will ride the Tour de France for Uno-X Mobility, despite fracturing his collarbone just 10 days ago, after making what his team called a "remarkable recovery".
> "The expert described the recovery as highly impressive – noting that the shoulder appeared to be healing like an injury sustained eight weeks ago, not just nine days. He also remarked that Jonas was 'healing as well as a 12-year-old'."
mouse noises in the distance

reminds me that I did a very late ride on Sunday to watch the sunset at a nice spot and as I sat down I heard lots of squeaking from the nearby bushes, probably a big mouse nest in there. Said > whats there to squeak about he? but received no answer, noises continued. Of course, they always squeak






 >>/88975/
They pulled the wire out probably a bit early but I also went to work with it immediately. I was 17 back then, it was football and basketball after school and then booze on the weekend.
No effects, my right shoulder (the broken collarbone one) was a bit lower but I have worked a bit on posture and there is almost no imbalance now.
























































































































































































As much of a waste of time walking back down was, I knew that the trein wouldn't have enough space for bikes, so I don't have to wait another hour for the next train. True stongmen are cycling back home over the cobbled roads of the Gotthard pass. I keep seeing cyclists from the train, they have my respect.













> 'Davide might be able to go for the white jersey. He has done so much for me. If I can help him, I would gladly do so,' Vingegaard said afterwards to Sporza about his younger teammate.

yeah it's over for eulalio




For the tour de suisse, I don't know if I will cover it live. The stages are far away this time. I could watch the ITT, but I might as well watch paint dry. The only advantage is that you can see the riders individually at the finish line. 
And I saw poggers at the World Championships in Zurich. I consider going to the tour stage in Alsace instead.

I like the Camelbak Podium bottles because the spout locks easily and especially because the whole top and spot can be easily disassembled for a thorough clean and dry. I don't do that every ride but it feels good to be able to do so.

 >>/89201/
Those look very nice. Can you easily clean inside the crevices of the spout/can it be taken apart? I don't know if I could have a non-see-through bottle, I like to see how much is left to gauge my hydration.

Anyway my friend texted me yesterday how Malta was and I said like "yes well I thought Italians were bad drivers but here they even drive on the wrong side wtf". But his reaction was kind of neutral and I don't know if he realizes they drive on the left. I have been contemplating explaining the joke












































 >>/89262/
They've realised they haven't done shit this Giro and so are desperate for a crumb of TV attention.

Embarrassing, really. Even conti teams usually don't do such obvious performative moves. It's one thing to send shitters up the road at the start of the stage, it's another to do it for one valley in the middle of a stage.






























































































































> Finally, Valgren also brought up his striking victory gesture. At the finish line, he held up a Pokéball. “My son made that for me when I went to the Tour last year with high morale,” he concludes. “The Pokéball is in our team colors and is my lucky charm.”

based, has he been riding around with it all year lmao




 >>/89394/
been enjoying the early morning rides lately except for all the swarms of flies that plaster every cm of exposed skin and the high humidity near forests. It's epic when those 2 combine while I ride a climb through the woods hard and hit a couple swarms while I'm at it.









> Thomas Dekker was briefly detained at Chicago airport upon his arrival in the United States. The Dutchman, who is on his way to Emporia to participate in Unbound Gravel 200, missed his connecting flight to Kansas City as a result. 

> Laurens ten Dam discusses the incident with Dekker in Chicago on his podcast Live Slow Ride Fast. “He was in trouble,” laughs Ten Dam. “I had a missed call from him, but by then I was already asleep in my tent. When I woke up in the morning, I saw that I had received a bunch of text messages from him. ‘Lautje, I’ve been stuck for over an hour and now I’m missing my flight. What did they ask you last time?’” 
> Apparently, Dekker was stopped upon his arrival in the United States because he has an entry on his American criminal record. During Dekker’s previous visit to America, he spent some time in a cell with Ten Dam because they were changing clothes for the camper in Oklahoma.

top kek I love that there keeps being more to this story






























Intersting noombers from my stupid amazon consoomer products:
on the third day,
after two days of summer sun exposure, one 2hr mtb ride and one hour tanning on the beach to where I still needed to ride 5km and had my longer way around shop ride anyways so it is not a completely zero exertion day,
and on the third day from which the measurements are I've also had good 15kms of commute plus gym:
HR minimum -5bpm
HR resting -6bpm
Beyond Z1 zones halved
HR variability up 20ms (good)

It's like vitamin D is really essential

> In 1984, Hinault moved to the new La Vie Claire team, established by the French entrepreneur Bernard Tapie and directed by Swiss coach Paul Koechli. 
> Fignon stayed with the Renault team and became team leader. 
> In the 1984 Giro d'Italia, Fignon was in the lead near the end of the race, with Italian Francesco Moser in second place. 
> The highest mountain stage, where Fignon could have extended his lead as the better climber, was cancelled by race organizers "due to bad weather". 
> In one of the more outrageous actions of a major tour, on the final stage, an individual time trial, camera helicopters flew in front of Fignon, creating a headwind, and behind Moser, creating a tailwind. 
> Though Fignon repeatedly shook his fists at the obstructing aircraft, they refused to move off. Moser ended up gaining enough time to take the overall race lead, with Fignon being moved back to second place.
> He later said the experience made him tougher and prepared him for the hardships to come.
