Man, perfluorocarbons are not the elixir of youth are they?

New slogan for Dutch Women's cycling teams?

It's been a while, but if memory serves, Niamh did in fact eventually come back for Demi on that stage, I think. Someone did, and I think it was her, no?

Minnesota has protests planned in sixty-nine municipalities this weekend

A world with no cars where I can spend all day riding a Dogma that I can't afford... Oh wait, that is Watopia.

I was literally just about to write a post asking where Gaia has been all season. Glad she's back in the saddle!

I've been realizing when I do serious KOM climb attempts, if at the midpoint I am strongly considering quitting, that is a good sign that I'm going hard enough. The reptile part of my brain can be pretty good at sounding logical when it tries to get me to stop: "You went out too hard, just quit."

This sounds more like an overuse injury not damage from his crash several stages earlier, no?

20 riders from UAE with wins this year, contributing to approx. 100 wins. Statistically, has a team ever been close to this dominant in the history of the sport?

This only looks concerning to Muggles

I'm gonna send ya...

"So this one time at altitude camp..."

I heard that Pogi is continuing to solo across Europe tonight in hopes of catching the breakaway at Gravel Worlds tomorrow. #CyclingBlueSky

And from what I saw, Kastelijn really worked quite hard to bring the Dutch "teammates" back to van anrooij, which is puzzling. Maybe she thought she could win herself and they were all just riding for themselves? Traditionally, teamwork is less of a thing in gravel.

Yes, here you go.

And Bernal 8th 🤘

Also Julia Kopecky who is on SD Worx, so trade team loyalty there apparently

Just to add to this, the change in the isotopic composition of atmospheric CO2 is the smoking gun that it's us (in addition to basic mass balance). Volcanic gasses have a different isotopic signature.

I mean, surely there's an antitrust case for a single team having 20 riders win races for a combined (approaching) 100 wins this year. To me, that seems kinda nuts.

Is ten Dam the gravel coach still? I know he used to be, but then got promoted to the coach of the road team. I guess it doesn't matter much in this case, because there are no radios.

I mean, there are worse things that could happen, like Quinn Simmons could win.

Maybe they can stop over in Argentina and pick up some empanadas to offset some of the $20 billion he gave them.

Dog: "Ok I'll take that medicine - I'm sure you are just trying to help me good friend." Cat: "I would rather die than take that medicine. Vive la Résistance!!!"

It sure feels that way sometimes...

The first rule of Cat Park is you do not talk about Cat Park. 😼

Additionally, evidence is not proof.

Oh...she's sweet.

Typically a scientific investigation seeks to test a hypothesis by doing experiments and generating data or gathering evidence. Those results could either support or contradict/falsify the hypothesis (or they could be inconclusive). "Making the proof" is not a part of science.
