Fog or mist or low hanging cloudz?

La Vuelta The mountainous finale today with AvV and MoviStar defending a minute or so against a determined DV and SD Worx - wow, beautiful to behold, tough to race.

The panoramic depth in this pic, yoh.

Pinarello's new fiets for Pauline and Tom. Not many details available to the public just yet. Read more here: https://www.bikeradar.com/news/pinarello-xc-prototype/

I cycle because punching people is frowned upon.

55 kms - distance of racing against the clock left in this Giro 1990 - the last time the maglia rosa was worn from day 1 to the finish Intriguing 🤨 Journo: “What’s your plans for the next few days?” Remco: “To stay on my bike and not get sick…”

Stefan de Bod fastest at 22:32 at this point in time. The first of 3 crucial time trials in the 2023 edition, apparently carefully designed to lure in some GC superstars away from the Tour de France in July. What a milestone for the South African EF Easypost rider in his 1st Grand Tour, looking splendid in his national champs jersey as captured by Getty Sport Images.

Welcome back to the outdoors, man.

A man has to refuel - Trecostelli, Bloubergstrand

Saw reports somewhere that many teams are concerned about back-up support on this crucial stage 20 hill time trial (apparently motorbikes only or something)

Zone 2.5824

1971 model; 68 kgs, puncheur type rider, never played rugby; no beer or smokes since 2006; celebrate meaningful times with a whisky; loves choccies and coffee; prefers mountainous terrain and Cannondales.

You will receive one body in this life. You will not be able to replace, swop or buy an upgrade. Make it strong, durable and supple. Yes, you. I’m looking at you, Cupcakes.

I’m getting excited now and beginning to count the slapies

Not sure I’ve seen this before on stage 20 of a Grand Tour - hill climb race against the clock over 7.3 kms at average gradient 11.8 % That’ll warm me up, moer!

Oude Kwaremont KOM: 2.51 kms at 3.6% on cobbled surface after 247-ish kms of racing and many matches burnt.

994 kilojoules before work

One can gooi the power, however, comfort and durability while gooi-ing those watts is key. The pressure mapping I’ve also had done with @science2sport has helped tons with my early 2022 updated fit. So many amateur cyclists avoid this important yet crucial investment in their comfort and durability. Here’s another cool video by the quirky @tristantakevideo

Hehehehee

Trek-Segafredo's Cicconi out with Covid19 infection. What unfortunate news for the Italian who is a prolific stage winner. Cool analysis of the stages here: https://www.rouleur.cc/blogs/the-rouleur-journal/giro-ditalia-route I strongly recommend WFH on Stage 4, see below

Mooi prentjies, yoh, Dudes and Dudettes! Endurance ride: Franschoek Pass
