All of these Western countries extending recognition to Palestine are doing absolutely nothing if they're not also suspending relations with *srael

I'm so glad you stuck with it! I'm working through a rewatch too.

For real? Am I about to get into CFB?

Yikes, that's scary!

I do feel bad for Landa. 35, coming off injury, no GC leader to ride for.

I'm very excited for both Evenepoel at RBBH and the reloaded classics squad at SOQ (Van Baarle, Stuyven, more?)

Why spend extra money to look like a twat? Lose lose

Not to get all menswear guy on everyone but men really need to stop wearing tuxedos during the day.

It's not just a fancy suit! It's a fancy suit for wearing at night!

Why not make the time at the airport reasonably pleasant (and short) for everyone?

Or better yet eliminate the need to fly so much with quality rail travel?

Airport lounges suck. One the core issues with politics these days is the obsession the working classes have with cosplaying as the rich. Leasing a Mercedes, buying ludicrously expensive handbags, needing a massive house, and paying for the airport lounge are all of a piece.

Mads and Cicco are such a fun combo. I assume TGH will DNF quite early

We've got some minor villains (Pidcock, Cat Killer).

Plus IPT are bringing an *sraeli rider to a race on large part through Catalunya and Euskadi. That sounds... err...

Several of my favourite riders will be there: Carapaz, Gall, Bernal. Lidl are bringing Pedersen and Ciccone.

I think Vingegaard, especially in his slightly punchier 2025 version, has a pretty good chance of winning but the Almeida/Ayuso drama is probably his best ally. Movistar will be playing some aggressive footsie with Ayuso.

It's going to be a real test of the "witnessing greatness" brigade that claim Vingegaard would be the boringly dominant rider if Pogačar didn't exist

Given that Pogačar is likely going to clean up at the Laurentian classics, Worlds, and Lombardia I have a lot of emotional well-being resting on the Vuelta

This has to be satire

Jens Lekman Thinks He’s Sampled On New Burial Track: β€œI’m Honoured” Last week Burial returned with two new songs called β€œComafields” and β€œImaginary Festival,” which are both quite good. Burial is a fan of samples, as is the Swedish musician Jens Lekman. Apparently one...

Jens Lekman is pretty sure he's sampled on the new Burial track: "I’m honoured"

Wow, the podium finished the stage in the same order!

Incredible job by PFP.

I just noticed PFP was on an R5 today. TVL riders (including Bunel today) have pretty much all been on S5s this season, even in the high mountains.
