I really am super interested in how they resolve this.

Last year my wife's STI stopped shifting; was able to get 3 gears working. I also like to have stuff to give out to other cyclists. Saved a guy once with new brake pads; he was one happy dude.

He stole 1 stage in Giro d'Italia from del Toro for a career 1 GT stage win. I laugh and I am now happy.

20.07.2025 18:39 โ ๐ 30 ๐ 1 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Simmons found that the breakaway lacked cohesion. "Some grade A cat-five tactics today," he said. "But it's how it is, Wellens did a super strong ride. In the end, I think there was only one situation for today and that was it be super hard and a really strong rider get away in the final." "This morning, we had a few differences of opinion on what was going to happen in the stage," he added. "And unfortunately, I had to spend a bit of energy controlling in the start for something that probably was never going to happen. But you have to do what the radio says." Simmons' sports director Steven De Jongh suggested Velo there were no conflicting plans as Simmons was allowed to go in big groups from the start.
Ugh. Why? Simmons gets caught lying, naturally. So stupid. Just stop talking.

Truck nuts.
Authentically American.

This is the stuff internet trolls go deep on. Finding some race clips of him hiding behind a team car. It's coming. Sore loser. #TDF2025

Spectators in polka-dot gear and yellow shirts cheer passionately, creating a dramatic and intense race atmosphere.
They should install safety flares instead.

1. The Wout 'look back' to Simon Yates in the Giro d'Italia
2. Alaphilippe stealing the sign for the Tourmalet descent
3. Amstel Gold finish
4. ...
Wout, a supporter, and Julian with a sign that said โWout you donโt know it yet but weโre getting marriedโ
from the VLAB IG, the sign Alaphilippe snatched said โWout you donโt know it yet, but weโre getting marriedโ. VLAB invited her to the team area today to get a photo with both Wout and Julian
the Tour de France is the best goddamn thing in the universe
Super 10/10!!
