the last 1 is a step 2 far

i understand where the lipo stans are coming from but remco is and will probably retire world class but how tf are they going to manage these personalities also how does a dual leader Strat involving remco and lipo look like with the similar rider styles

for my fellow wilco kelderman enjoyers

regardless of what the numbers say the women side of things is having an explosive growth what i hope 4 right now is the incorporation/foundation of more races slight lengthening of the GT length & more sponsers (redbull decathlon ineos + new sponsers) but its in a good place so far

which is in itself crazy and btw him brennan per zingle we still have a solid classics squad in the white jersey group

i used to have the feeling behrens might have flopped then i take inspiration from vacek & milan who all showed bursts of quality but truly came into peak form around 1.5yrs into their contract but the more i look at the guy the more i cant help conclude worse case scenario we have another affini

beautiful sprint there train might be up there in the self positioning all stars mclay brennan and kooij are master surfers of the peloton

u do know she podiumed the giro also considering the prep time wouldn't it be weird if she underperforms?
Also at what point can we attribute vollering's performance to prep gone wrong + crashes coz at least as of suise we can agree she was over-raced

I love how Pidcock and Ferrand-Prévot still support each other and cheer each other on. They've both been lone wolves at Ineos, spending loads of time together working on their mountainbike goals. And every time without fail, when one has a big moment, the other will be cheering for them.

but no were near or as consistent as she would have been in her prime in the current cycling scene with current training standerds and bikes

now imagine there was a time where on top of being better at everything she does now she could also climb at a high level like tf
Shes the actual definition of 'i would be shitting my pants' yates

ill die on the hill that fate wanted to balance out the existence that is prime vos with a surge in popularity and level of women cycling in her latter yrs and the crazy thing remains the fact that she's still competitive

i wish i was there to c ur live rxns

totally agree

Pauline Ferrand-Prevot wins the Tour de France

>returns to road cycling
>wins Paris-Roubaix
>refuses to elaborate
>wins Tour de France

we can cry together

Guys I'm gonna cry 😭 #TDFF2025

regardless of what happens 2 gigante this stage is an all timer

this scenario reminds me of the tdf23&24 when tadej was testing jonas in the descent its just that kasia is more technically sound

gigante is actually trying in the descent

Remember when Pauline Ferrand-Prévot rode for Ineos and they still didn't make a proper women's team?

Add it to the list of near-misses in this era...

I must be dreaming or something 🥲

any doubts i had 4 the future instantly vanished

This year sure had some lows as a Visma fan but Simon Yates on Finestre and Pauline Ferrand-Prévot on Madeleine are some of the most incredible, unbelievable days I've ever had as a sports fan.

I will be the first to admit I was not expecting this. At all. Which makes it so much more spectacular 💛

Pfp my absolute demon

the gaps he got on the stage where he was given free reign wasn't gotten only on pure climbing merit he has akick about him not legendary but its there unless im hallucinatin

bro only lost 32 secs at age 21 on his first tt with a serious setup i can c him peaking at around prime tratnik level (if not better) which is waaay better than most gc riders he can descend he has a solid punch the dude has potential

u have an unhealthy obsessions with 1 dimensional climbers bro u need someone who will secure the easy w once in a while i nominate roglic's protégé pellizzari

why not huh
