I sure hope he doesn’t go to Movistar. He’d be a great fit on EF or Lidl

I don’t know. Sure it’s a hard race, but it’s boring AF, an out and back on fire roads, and the coverage is still terrible. I’d take a Belgian kermesse over it any day

Flo normally has most races that HBO doesn’t have in the US. Peacock is kinda horrendous (and as some who grew up listening to Phil and Paul I feel bad saying that)

Besides GP Quebec and Montreal, I’m not sure where the other races will be broadcast (maybe HBOMax?). TBH, I used a VPN to watch the Tour coverage from Canada instead of NBC and it worked great. Highly recommend that work around

My 2-year old daughter just ran into the room with my copy of β€œThe Death of Marco Pantani” by Matt Rendell and said β€œMarco, my best friend!” So proud and happy she’s moved on from Dora The Explorer to Il Pirata but I think the fact that the edition has a pink cover played a big role #couchpeloton

Wout van Aert to skip World Championships and end season in September Belgian's last road race in 2025 will be the Super 8 Classic

Bummed #WVA won’t be at World Champs but it’s probably a smart move given that the climbing at #kigali2025. Hopefully he’s at Montreal the following by year. @teamvismaleaseabike.com? #procycling #couchpeloton

Trying to wrap my head around the #Remco move. Obviously it’s good for him, but there is gonna be a lot of tension in team bus (especially #TourDeFrance). Lipowitz has a legit claim to leadership and even Roglic should not be discounted. And we thought UAE had drama #procycling #couchpeloton

That, however, should not take away from Ciccone’s brilliant ride

Ayuso looked like crap at San SebastiΓ‘n and UAE once again showed once again that w/o Pogi their raft of talent can be more a hindrance than an advantage. Doesn’t bode well for #LaVuelta. #procycling #couchpeloton

San SebastiΓ‘n always feels like an afterthought for the cycling world coming just a week after the Tour, but it’s parcours and the talent of the field produce some of the best one day racing of the year. #procycling #couchpeloton

Super happy for Wout but really hope he does Worlds. May not be the ideal course for him but still think he’d make an impact #procycling #couchpeloton

This is good news for Pogi (he looked absolutely spent by end of #TDF2025) and for cycling (more competitive race, infighting at UAE, Jonas as top favorite, among other story lines) #procycling #couchpeloton

Jasper Philipsen is he was still in the tour…but also probably Valentin Madouas

Anybody who wants the last #TourDeFrance stage to go back to a sprint stage should have their head examined. That was absolutely epic. Also, that’s the #WVA we all wanted to see in the Spring. Hope this a sign of a resurgence #TDF2025 #procycling #couchpeloton

Damn, Jonas looked like he finally had the legs on Pogi in that final kick. Wonder if he’d attacked earlier if it would have made any difference…probably not #TourDeFrance #TDF2025 #procycling

If Jonas, Lipowitz, or Onley don’t do anything then I hope Arensman wins this stage. This is kind of a snoozer #TDF2025 #procycling

Hot take: this tour isn’t as boring as the Froome-Team Sky dominance but it’s close. More the fault of Jonas & VLAB tactics in the mountains than Pogi and UAE, who I feel wouldn’t mind some more action. #TourDeFrance #TDF2025 #procycling #couchpeloton

I hope Onley and Lipowitz start attacking each other. We know Jonas won’t do anything until the final 500m and Pogi will win anyway. Give a brother something to watch! #procycling #couchpeloton #tdf2025
