So Primož Roglič won TDF 2020. Good to know. 👍🏼

This year, everyone outsprinted WVA...

Also a reminder that racing without radios is bullshit. It certainly wasn't the biggest problem today, but it would have looked a little different.

🤮

:) 🙈

Since the media came up with rumours that Piganzoli will ride for Visma from next season, Piganzoli started liking some of Visma's posts on IG. He hadn't liked posts on Visma's page before. I noticed this and laughed at why they were still waiting for an announcement. 🤷🏼

He was, but he is washed in 2025. 😭 They better get leadership to Cian from 2026.

Cyclisme : l’avenir de Biniam Girmay se situera… chez Israël-Premier Tech La star africaine rejoindra la formation de Sylvan Adams. Au pire en 2027, au mieux en 2026 en fonction de l’évolution du rapprochement entre Lotto et Intermarché-Wanty.

According to this source, Girmay signed a three-year deal with Israel-Premier Tech.

Even so it was better than the first week of this year's Vuelta.

and who was great perhaps because of training... They have the most money, so they can afford it. Nobody has that kind of opportunity to discover talent. Salary caps wouldn't work for that anyway and they're never be set anyway. But as a fan, I don't like it.

Yes, I wrote that wrong. I meant that they sign riders who don't train the best and after a few weeks on the team you can see how they are clearly improving. While other teams sign riders who is already training as they should. Later it will become clear who has real talent among them,

But Ramírez... I'm tired of how the UAE always brings up someone who is a wonderkid. 😭😭

Daniel Benson already reported that he signed with Astana. He was flying in smaller races in Italy.

He Is flying this year. I don't understand why Bora didn't sign him. Astana won the jackpot... During the spring races in Italy, he managed to keep up with Finn and Omrzel.

Roglic withdrew from the Giro, he was unable to train for a while due to injury and still had to take antibiotics. While Lipowitz had an absolutely ideal preparation. They cannot be compared because of this year's TDF.

He was doing a lead-out for the first time. 🤷🏼 He was behaving completely chaotically. I was thinking before the race that it could be a shitshow if they are boath on the roster.

Movistar Team cuadra las cuentas de 2024 con una indemnización de 4 millones por Carlos Rodríguez Abarca Sports, gestora del único equipo español del WorldTour, facturó 20,4 millones de euros, un 12% menos, y perdió 154.174 euros. El gasto en personal se...

If you're wondering where Ineos puts all that money. 😃 I thought it was bullshit, but it looks like it's true. The worst "buyout" in history.

I don't think he would have been like that without the Giro success and I would be really worry about whether he would be interested in racing again.

Maybe today's Wout performance is more to celebrate than the win at the Giro against Del Toro, but for me the best moment is simply winning the stage to Sienna. You can see how it affected Wout mentally (positively). Even though he didn't do well during the TDF stages, he was in good spirits.

Go to hell

I'm offering money to whoever knocks him off his bike.

Behrens one of the losers of the season? I know he had an injury, but he didn't show anything at all.

It's simple. The watt var Is over, now Is a psychological battle. 🤷🏼 They try to break him down mentally when they can't do it with their performance.

"Very interested"

The exciting thing is that Seixas is building a larger and larger fan base bcs of this. 👍🏼

Bcs he's already cooked. They better riding for Simon Philip Yates stage hunting. 🤌🏼

I've been thinking about this for a while, that in a year Visma could find in Healy a leader for the Ardennes and they would finally join the big teams fighting for the podium. But when I see how they have fallen financially, I think he'll end up somewhere else. Ineos may not be bad idea.

I think Matteo. He has improved a lot in flat time trials. Joao rides them well, but not so much that I would say he's one of the best in the world. In the mountain TT to Peyragudes, Almeida will probably beat him by a minute, but tomorrow I trust Matteo more.

One of the biggest hypocrites in cycling. I don't like Lefever, but his words about Denk being a bastard fit perfectly. First he criticizes Cian's situation, and then after the big money comes he does the same. 🖕🏼 If Remco wanted it, the transfer would have already happened.
