  2. imagine if there was a lane that went directly into the CBD, exclusively for bicycles and pedestrians oh wait, nevermind
  3. I have seen this colour in real life and it looks like baby **** all over the bike
  4. 13/06/2024 GREAT NEWS FOR JONAS VINGEGAARD AHEAD OF TOUR DE FRANCE: "HE IS ABLE TO WORK ON THE TIME-TRIAL BIKE AND IT DOESN'T BOTHER HIM" Jonas Vingegaard fractured ribs, suffered a punctured lung but also fractured a collarbone in his crash at Itzulia Basque Country. The latter created an issue for the Team Visma | Lease a Bike rider where he could not ride the time-trial bike, but that obstacle has now been overcome. "He is able to work on the time-trial bike and it doesn't bother him at the moment so he is able to do the work on it. He was on the time-trial bike on Monday afternoon, and it went well, so I think you can continuously put more intensity on," Tim Heemskerk said in an interview with TV2 Sport. In late May Vingegaard travelled to Tignes to prepare for the Tour de France with the maximum level of focus. Ever since, he has been joined by Wout van Aert and Christophe Laporte, and away from racing has been putting in the work to recover the best of his abilities. Two weeks of work remain before the Tour de France, and Visma is focused in improving his form as much as possible. "He had to skip the Dauphinรฉ, so he has not made a single start in a race situation. But he is preparing through training, he is on the road and riding with the boys." Vingegaard's test will most likely be at the Tour itself when the race tackles the climbs. Although it has not been given as an absolute certain, it can be said that it is virtually guaranteed that he will make the trip to Florence ahead of the 29th of June.
  5. The team must be in desperate need of fresh colostrum
  6. Jonas Vingegaard unlikely to ride Vuelta due to family circumstances Translation: Also good news for troubled Visma-Lease a Bike: positive signals regarding Tour participation Van Aert and Vingegaard Although Visma-Lease a Bike indicates that it will only decide very late whether defending champion Jonas Vingegaard will ride the Tour, the signals are increasingly positive. The stars are also getting better about Wout van Aert. According to Danish and Italian sources, Jonas Vingegaard has significantly increased his time trial training during his altitude training camp in Tignes. A good sign. His participation in the Vuelta is now in doubt due to family circumstances, which means that he would only have a Grand Tour in his legs this year by riding the Tour. During the second week of his altitude internship in Tignes, Wout van Aert completed a training session of more than seven hours (188.58 km for 4,860 meters of altitude) together with Christophe Laporte on Tuesday. The kind of training work you do in the run-up to an important race. Van Aert will also not defend his title at the Belgian Time Trial Championships. He will only return home two days before the Belgian Championship road race in Zottegem (23/6) to stay in Tignes as long as possible and to have the best possible Tour preparation. https://www.hln.be/tour-de-france/ook-goed-nieuws-voor-geplaagd-visma-lease-a-bike-positieve-signalen-rond-tour-deelname-van-aert-en-vingegaard~a60c38b5/
  7. There is no correlation. Tapentadol is not new or meaningfully different as a painkiller.
  8. That must be why they won't send him to the tour. Scared he wins and they have cough up
  9. i have drunk coffee filtered through a sock
  10. IPT has been a retirement home pretty much since they became a WT team. It is not like he is forcing the team owners to keep renewing his contract. businessmen are going to business even when it doesn't make sense. he scored 8 points.
  11. i would rather put ground coffee into a sock and use it as a pour-over than drink bean to k*k
  12. i wish i was as old (39) and washed (earning $5mil a year) as Froome
  13. Race neutralised Remco's facial expression looks good to me. Roglic looks fine as well. DSM rider hit his head quite badly Kruijswijk & Van Baarle look to be the worst off and then Ayuso
  14. โ€œComplaint that we sprayed each other with water bottles as two โ€˜gay cyclistsโ€™โ€: Dutch ex-pros spend hours in U.S. cell after training ride https://www.hln.be/wielrennen/klacht-dat-we-elkaar-met-waterflessen-besproeiden-als-twee-gay-cyclists-nederlandse-ex-profs-urenlang-in-amerikaanse-cel-na-trainingsritje~a57bea70/ Several Dutch sources are reporting this with 95% the same words. As if the Unbound gravel race isn't tough enough. Dutch ex-pro riders Laurens ten Dam and Thomas Dekker were arrested for โ€œindecent behaviorโ€ after their training ride in the United States. Ten hours in the cell instead of on the bike. โ€œWithin five minutes there were five police cars.โ€ Some 24 hours after Dekker arrived in the United States, the cyclists were sitting in two police cars handcuffed and driven to jail in Oklahoma. Ten Dam tells this in his podcast Live Slow Ride Hard. The Dutch riders wanted to have lunch at a Mexican restaurant after a three-hour workout, and decided to freshen up in the parking lot using some bottles of water. โ€œAfter Thomas rinsed me off I quickly changed my pants between the car doors,โ€ Ten Dam says. โ€œBut as I'm doing that, I hear someone across the street yelling very angrily.โ€ The man across the street was not amused that Dekker was rinsing off 'in his bare ass.' Moments later, several officers entered the restaurant and the two were arrested for public indecency. โ€œWe were outside with the cop and within five minutes there were five police cars,โ€ Ten Dam said. โ€œAt that point the guy comes back to us and yelled that Thomas should be thrown in jail.โ€ Based on the accusation made by the angry man across the street, both men were handcuffed and taken to jail. โ€œThe charge stated that we sprayed each other with water bottles as two gay cyclists,โ€ Ten Dam said. The riders had to pay bail of $185, and it was not until hours later that it became clear they did not have to appear in court. They did not walk out of jail until 10 hours after the arrest.
  15. Death, taxes and Roglic crashing. 3 crashes in his last 5 race days. Pretty impresssive
  16. 3.40 down. that is a ton of time to ship in an ITT in the Tdf if you are attempting to podium. But Roglic will crash out and Remco will get Covid so there is a chance i guess
  17. I think you are underestimating how difficult the TdF is to podium let alone win. He can't time trial for sh*t. There is no way in hell he will gain enough time to survive the 59km of TTing in this TdF
  18. I think after today's ITT we will have a better idea of where their form lies
  19. Not on the team list for the TdF and never was regardless of form. Probably sit this out and focus on his pre-injury goals. Came 3rd in the TdF last year. Last year was his most consistent since leaving Ineos. Hell of a domestique/2nd fiddle to have. He was gifted the Vuelta last year. No, arguing he is a great mountain domestique but he will never in our wildest dreams podium the TdF. Ever. He is too inconsistent. Pog has Ayuso and Almeida both have podiumed GTs before. And way better than Benoot in the mountains. The only place the team may be a little short is in the rouleurs department. Can't rely on Wellens and Politt alone to control break formation and keep it in check. And they have Pogacar. He looks to have become a pretty decent cyclist himself.
  20. ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ฎ Tadej Pogaฤar ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง Adam Yates ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡ธ Juan Ayuso ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡น Joao Almeida ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡ธ Marc Soler ๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ท Pavel Sivakov ๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ‡ช Tim Wellens ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ช Nils Politt please explain to me how that is not as good as visma?
  21. He is just saving energy for the tour
  22. Shaun Nick Bester, more like Shaun Nick Worster
  23. end of his career or is it just being put on menopause?
