  1. During good rehabilitation, the view can already move forward: Remco Evenepoel retains the run-up towards Tour de France https://www.hln.be/wielrennen/tijdens-goeie-revalidatie-kan-de-blik-al-vooruit-remco-evenepoel-behoudt-aanloop-richting-tour-de-france~adbc3551/?referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.reddit.com%2F Everything goes according to schedule. Remco Evenepoel (24) is in full rehabilitation after his fall in the Tour of the Basque Country and is already thinking about what is yet to come. His run-up towards Tour is already maintained. Remco Evenepoel recovers well from his injuries (clavicle fracture and fracture in the shoulder blade), suffered in a severe fall early this month in the Tour of the Basque Country. Admittedly, the activity of the world time trial champion limits itself to some cautious cycling on the wheels for the time being. The intention remains to go on an altitude stage to the Sierra Nevada in early May, to ride the Dauphiné from June 2 to 9 and then go to height again in the perspective of the Tour (June 29-21 July). If for some reason the Dauphiné does not prove feasible - which is not currently assumed - the Tour of Switzerland (9-18 June) offers an alternative. On Sunday, June 23, Evenepoel will also participate in the BK in Zottegem. The BK time trial, two days earlier, does not fit into the plans this year.
  2. From how far does pogi solo to victory?
  3. Mountain bikers who say they prefer hardtails over full suspension are just engaging in mental gymnastics to cope with being too poor to ride a full suss
  4. i see he did his first outdoor ride today https://www.strava.com/pros/189040
  5. Rook One = Steel / Rook II = Alu / Simple Sam =Alu & Steel, depending on the model. All of this information is freely available on their respective websites
  6. without his trusty domestiques, Roglic and Vingegaard, the lad doesn't stand a chance
  7. https://www.teamvismaleaseabike.com/video/news/video-van-aert-about-his-recovery/ Official statement by Visma Lease a Bike: More than two weeks after his crash in Dwars door Vlaanderen, Wout van Aert is already doing much better. His fractures are recovering well and he has already been carefully riding indoors for the first time. But there has been no serious training yet. Therefore, in consultation with the team, he has decided not to start in the Giro d'Italia. Christophe Laporte will replace Van Aert in Italy.

  9. pity WvA is also out with a fractured collarbone, fractured rib(s), and fractured sternum. Let's see who can recover and adequately train by the time the TdF rolls around.
  10. that's fine, he already has 2. he can do the Vuelta and the Giro instead
  11. Now it is a race to see who will heal and recover the fastest
  12. Remco also having success surgery https://www.soudal-quickstepteam.com/en/news/6493/remco-evenepoel-update
  13. He is not a TdF contender but here: https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2024/apr/07/australian-cycling-star-jay-vine-avoids-spinal-surgery-after-horror-crash-in-spain
  14. Some good news, Roglic back on his bike and Vingegaard had successful surgery on his collarbone:
  15. Landa taken away in an ambulance with a neck brace on. This race is cursed
  16. **The race was neutralized** after a major crash in the peloton in the descent towards Untzilla, involving a dozen riders slipping out of a corner. Jay Vine and Jonas Vingegaard required ambulance transport, both were quickly reported conscious and stable. Remco Evenepoel, Primoz Roglic, Steff Cras, Jefferson Cepeda, Sean Quinn, Natnael Tesfatsion and Quinten Hermans were also involved; all but Cepeda and Hermans DNFed. The six men in the breakaway at the time raced for the stage win, while the peloton rode neutralized to the finish, and no GC times were taken.

  17. so with the winter slowly approaching in the Cape. I have been wondering how to negotiate running throughout as this will be my first winter. the majority of my runs will be in the afternoons. I think a base layer and a shirt should mostly be fine. maybe a windbreaker in case. anything else seems like overkill, probably. How do you Kaapenaars manage training throughout the winter?
  18. No one will get hurt in the Arenberg when the entire peloton wipes out in the turn before the Arenberg. Big brain move by the Paris Roubaix management
  19. can i just bring my own doctor to administer my drips in the comfort of my air BnB instead?
  20. Last year WvA won E3, then lost Flanders and Roubaix. Hoping it goes the other way around this year.
  21. 1. Charge R 109 900.00 per team for an 8-day stage race 2. Make the first 3 days brutal 3. 120 teams drop out 4. Profit
  22. so basically they have made =/- R 13 200 000 for a 3-day stage race with only 120 participants
