  1. It was interesting for a bit. What a monster.
  2. It was bound to happen at some point, but when he goes, it’s still something to see. Good for Matteo to stay in sight and relevant.
  3. Long way home still, but surprised they’re letting Pedersen get up to 30 seconds gap
  4. Looking good enough so far…
  5. Yeah, this is odd. Can’t tell if he’s playing a long game and being casual or if there’s something off.
  6. Cool to see him staying alert and in position to not get caught out by little moves that can turn out to be real selections.
  7. Team EF going with retro kits for Flanders. I don’t usually like gimmicky stuff like random retro looks, but I don’t hate this.
  8. Yep, most people I know who have spent a significant amount of time riding or racing bicycles has been through broken clavicle experience. I broke my right collarbone twice racing BMX as a teenager, then my left one racing a TMBRA mtb race in my 30s. They were all very painful, but took longer to heal when I was older. On the that last time I had even leaned how to fall correctly when crashing, didn’t extend my arms, and still landed just wrong enough to snap it from my sternum. Those kept me from meaningful riding and training for at lest a month or 6 weeks. I couldn’t Tyler Hamilton my way through it.
  9. For sure. He’s also in the TVL lineup for The Hell, too. Could be a HUGE couple of weeks. 🚴‍♂️🇺🇸
  10. And ribs. That will keep him out for a good while. Hope we don’t get more of the same in the Ronde.
  11. Someone had to be the beneficiary of that mess. Good for Matteo. ‘Merica!
  12. Yep. Takes much of the excitement out this weekend.
  13. For real. Not a great year for Wout so far.
  14. Soon, indeed. Also a little cobble appetizer today.
  15. What spectacular views on the descent of the Col de Pradell in Catalunya today! Also many sightings of GC KUSS clothing and signage. Unfortunately, the gestation period of his form must not mature until grand tour season. Poor Tadej must be bored at this point.
  16. Ridiculous is an apt description. Can’t really call it a rivalry with Van Aert right now. MVdP is in a different place this year.
  17. Man, if Schultz doesn’t make that head check at 100m to go to see Pogacar in full acceleration, he gets caught. Never assume assume you’ve got that guy beat. Great finish!
  18. You also have to wonder if the last minute replacement of McNulty for Del Toro messed with UAE’s prep or race day results. Maybe McNulty could have driven harder on Cipressa.
  19. Tadej said they didn’t go hard enough on the Cipressa and left too many strong riders leading up to the Poggio. That was a diverse group in the last few km. Mohoric’s move looked good for a moment, but didn’t hold. Pidcock’s blow up was something to see. Seemed like he had flown the coop with a few hundred meters to go, then got swept up and dropped by the winning group. Finished outside the top 10. Lol. Nice sprint for Jasper to pip Mathews with the throw at the line.
  20. Max picked up a handful of early season races. The Giro will be the last race available for 2024.
  21. Pretty tame for Reddit. 😂
  22. That’s the big question for sure. With MSR, it could be sprinters day or a breakaway depending on the day. It’s always interesting to see the start list and how each team is approaching it. Plenty of great sprinters and their lead outs, breakaway and one-day race specialists, agitators & tv attackers, and then complete lunatic on two wheels competitors like Pogacar. How can you bet against that guy? So many riders capable of winning this race that I didn’t name. Hell, even before todays performance, Bettiol’s name showed me that EF was serious about MSR when I looked at the start list to see who they were sending.
  23. Milan San Remon is just a few days away, and despite once again not starting in Milan proper, it looks to be a fun one. The starting field has 7 winners from the last 10 years, as well as numerous runners up and podium finishers. The past winners starting on Saturday are VdP, Pogacar, Alaphilippe, Demare, Morohic, Kwiatkowski, and Kristoff. I think most people are expecting a Pog\VdP duel. Who ya got?
  24. Based on the title, I was hoping for a Trey Parker or Mike Judge brand of satirical skewering of the Magical Negro trope featuring all of the best known characters in that genre.
