Oh here are the noombers

Hehe nobody fell for that Guardeño psyop

>>72982
>5 remco
heh, berts not believing anymore

Veirhuffer picker already picking up points

>>72997
Bertao.

>>72982
great, I'm cursed

>>72997
always believed in him

oi what do you mean pidkwak wont go for gc?

all Henok MULUBRHAN pickers are my bros

Why did so many Berts pick Sosa?
Is he not completely dogshit now? What am I missing?

>>73005
I like the name and thats that maybe some of the social media people picked him

>>73005
Yeah there are so many spectacular 4 pointers like ehh

NSM is ridding all in for bradley gilmore today.
https://youtube.com/watch?v=dJlTy5iT4ZE [Embed]

This will rejoice the 2 berts believers

>>73005
4 points and not normal at the nationals

>>73008
What?? Get the FUCK out of here

I spent TEN velocoins on Vernon

>>73011
The finish isn't that easy, i am not sure vernon would have held.
Or he'd be gassed

were ASO's live trackers already like this last year or is Catalunya's new?

looks surprisingly good and compact imo

Veistroffer gets the KOM points, absolutely feasting. Just need Cort to win the stage.

Please stop requesting best Frenchman stats from PCS man

>>73014
>cort

>>73016
I thought long and hard about him but he is too inconsistent

crikey what an answer from 'Cock

italian conti ciclista snatched for dopage

anyway pogi is allowed to roam freely still

Oh so Sosa was only 4 points.
Wasn't paying attention. He won't do shit anyway.

What was this dude's fucking problem

>>73022
being the apex

>>73022
being too based

Easy endurance today as we were all pretty tired from yesterday's big efforts. Went to a couple of monasteries, amazing views, and even the flatter countryside was pretty spectacular. Rode the last 2h by myself and I think I prefer that to riding in a group, it's nice to be by yourself and your thoughts.

>>73025
we will be expecting a cumulative total of the egg count for you're trip of course

>>73026
Sure! Today 41, yesterday 55, 15 on Sat. Let's see if we can get to 300 yet heh

Vernon out?

lucky number
>7 Josh Burnett
>7 Ethan Vernon

>>73028
The tunnels won't be safe tonight

almost took Baroncini

probably last ride outside before 10 days of rain and snow

>>73032
Good job, Bert
For me, it's tomorrow the last ride of the spring
Then it's winter again

>>73032
same for all of us isn't it

This was a fun stage last year

>>73037
or the year before where the legend Nick Schultz beat teddy pogacar

soler is jumping around like a spastik on the bike. I don't like it

l'hote dead

ciccone gone

>>73038
Or in 2022 when it was Sonny COLBRELLI's swamp song

>>73042
rumor is today will also have a victim

>>73041
Trek's lineup had too many potential liders so I took none of them

adjusted ciccone out last minute for the other potential fraud lenny

Why is UAE drilling it?

Questions are being asked

>>73047
Probably just for positioning

>>73047
the only way to beat jonas is force him to chute by going full send

this is a great descent

kockelmeme still alive wtf

jonas going crazy

he's riding as if a cycling influencer is in his wheel

he will never chute like in basque country again
if anyone will hit those tree roots it's me

Should have just kept UHLIG.

Godon is a kino rider

Maybe should have picked Remco after all. Congrats Tismbert for 1-2-3.

GODon

GREAT effort by humiliated Remco

godoped is a beast but I don't know who won

silva 4th
lotto rider 5th

That a pretty long sprint. Remking almost had time to come back around GODon again.

>>73065
>I've been working on longer efforts
he's gonna get heemed on the rampas again isn't he

>>73067
He is, these explosions were nothing a one trip to a mountain can fix.

>>73067
He's no longer the no punch meme rider he once was but he'll get heemed by Jonas Joãonas in the passos.

My boy RACCAGNI NOVIERO is there too, if I knew he would be before UHLIG in the pecking order.
L'HOTE skors too, bertman was doing me dirty reporting he is dead.

>>73071
my bad, I forgot Kirby was senile and can't read numbers anymore

>>73072
I have BARANOWSKI on Eurosport Polska who is outstanding in reading riders. But I tuned to tiz since it has less delay.

Autismbert and Irishbert with 1-2-3. They may still not win.

Luv GODon's Frenglish.

Great job driving for Gilmore while the other other other fraud BENNETT was the highest finishing guy. Hive me back my 10, I am picking RACCAGNI and some 6 jobber.

I think I did ctr+f Gaudon and didn't find him.

gee-yeast completely humiliated alongside most trek riders

>wins one stage
>gets numerous trophies
hmm

>>73076
Gilmore may have been in a chute with GALL, EULALIO, LEKNSESSUND, MULUBRHAN, MUNTON, DECOMBLE, GUARDEŃO

>>73078
Many frauds exposed. Really didn't like picking any of them, even SKJELMOSE who looks fine.

Go away with burgerland flag.

Remco Evenepoel? Remco Evenepoel!

>>73082
Why

this guy really made the deal of the century

>>73084
Because it's not mine. You're pretty comfy with Egypt, why would that be a thing if the banner is so great, HUH?

Our Bért wins.

why didn't memco just ride MSR, why is he so stupid

>>73087
Dreaming the GC dream (nightmare).

>>73087

It's ok. Next year Cipressa is going to be Remco vs Vingegaard vs Seixas.

>>73087
gotta larp as a gc rider AT ALL COST

>>73088
>>73090
why did he have to win that vuelta

NJAL is doing some crazy race type I have never seen before

>>73092
steering in virtual riding, what are we coming to

>>73092
There's a time trial this week, wanna try it later too
>>73093
It is so overpowered too in zwift """racing""", if you are against some poor bertacek who can't steer, you can drift away so he doesn't get any slipstream. Also you cut corners and save some 1% of total distance.

>>73094
wait how do you steer, do you ride with a xbox 360 controller or something

>>73095
apparently yes

>>73096
is it gyro controlled or do you use the d-pad
if it's just the d-pad it's kinda lame tbh

>>73096
pretty gay if you ask me

Memco should be doing all 5 monuments. It's more than time to force him to ride on some cobbles.

I genuinely don't understand how any Belgian could ever excuse this much cowardice.

>>73094
kek that's really funny I don't even remember that being a thing last time I raced on zwift
steering away from the non purchasers as you attack so they can't follow well lmao thats funny

>>73101
I always try shit like this because I have those controllers and I have like a 950W sprint (Zwift fatties will routinely drop 1800W sprints even in Cat D races). Never seems to work for me.

>>73097
The orange bits are rockers you can "pull". The d-pad is for menu etc. They discontinued this model though, because they fucked up the sweat-proofing. I think they were probably also way overly complex for what they are. They were giving them away for free+shipping at one point, so I picked up a set - haven't really used them.

>>73100
Must be nice to be famous. Get a fancy title and a good pay to do aboslutely nothing except attaching your name to something,

>>73104
But he's innovative considering his streams of income

>>73105
>hey remember when I won Tour de France? pay me
Not innovative in the slighest but it has worked out for him. I wonder how long this training platform will last. Seems like it wont have much to offer unless you are a professional athlete that needs to monitor a lot of training data but they probably get it for free as part of sponsorships. Will enough amateurs dish out a monthly subscription for this shit to keep them afloat when they run out of investor money?

>>73107
Based. And yet the closest a certain Belgian superstar has come to do a cobbled classic is the prestigious Brabant Arrow

>>73108
did humiliate a certain cobbled specialist on that one

>>73108
I understand if he hates cobbles but he should have done MSR. If Pidcucktini could follow Pogi so could Remco.

>>73110
his mind just doesn't work that way, everything that goes on right now in his head is to prove that he is not bad on long climbs

Please understand, remco was trapped on mount teide

>>73111
But he is bad on long climbs

>>73113
did pretty good that one tdf, he just flip flops his weight around too much

They really don't have anyone left outside of grug and jasper do they. Dude's lucky pogi is there because I don't think he'll win RVV with that team

>>73115
well the alpecin plan has always been grug+jappe+dudes who can pedal a decent amount of watts for a while to make cobbles hard before grug smashes no?

>>73114
Poor remco needed an Italian wife, not marocan

>>73116
It'll work for roubaix but they need someone that survive bergs a little bit more for RVV. I think del grosse will be there once groves DNS.

>>73115
does it matter, the finale of RVV is just a rider vs rider wattfest
last year the jumbos had the numbers advantage + the stuyven & pedersen duo and they still couldn't get any closer to pogacar

>>73114
He's fresh out of Ramadan. He's got to be super lean at the moment.

>>73119
It doesn't matter if pogi is there. It would if he wasn't.

this was unironically peak shape remco
he hasn't looked this sharp ever again

>>73122
there was also remco forma 62 kg

>>73115
Dehairshaver, Tibor and /cyc/s most picked rider Marsman mean nothing to you?

I have a feeling winning RVV these days is near impossible for grug. He has to stay with pog till the finish which didn't happen last year and sure as hell won't happen this year. If a g2 manages to catch pog and it comes down to a sprint he's very likely to lose to pedersen and I assume grug is well aware of that since he chose to work with pog until that one dropped him instead of trying his luck in g2 right away.
It's over, 0 monuments for grug this season. Retirement 2028

>>73124
that jonas geens dude they found out of nowhere has also been a top tier domestique this year
planckaert is also good
alpecin is fine, it's not like soren kragh saddle sore is any better than washed senechal these days

>>73125
>since last year he chose to work with pog
Retirement bert much sooner

Pog and Grug should just do a friendly swap. Rvv for Rubaix. Both walk away happy.

>>73128
pog just needs to win all 5 monuments in a season so he can do all 3 grand tours next year

>>73125
Last time I checked Paris-Roubaix was a monument..

innit Bert?

>>73130
he will lose

>>73129
Then, the next year, he can do all 5 monuments and all three grand tours.

...and the next year....

>>73130
once you realize that in 2026 pogs raw watts are probably better than grugs raw watts outside of short bursts and he's a lot more aero it looks very very unrosy in the roubaix department

>>73132
the next year he will become WC CX, XC MTB and XC skiing

kek

imagine after completing ciclismo dopagačar goes to ski jumping and wins olimpic gold

>>73136
rip

>>73135
norway
norwegians

>>73135
Time for that 3rd puberty or something.

>>73133
I think Grug has enough to keep PR this year; we didn't see his true form in MSR with his injured hand unable to hold the bar

>>73140
Yes, what was up with the hánd?
Didn't pay attention to the thread besides the race itself.

>>73141
think it was just a squished finger and finger nail
and an ad for the watch

do you think finnbert and his team mates visit some Spanish doctor to help them enhance their performance or is it just Ballermann time?

>>73142
Surely annoying, maybe even painful when big watts applied but was he not getting lachéd with his fuckfinger intact.

>>73146
Maybe he bumped his knee or something else too. He never said anything...or if he did I missed it.

>>73147
Maybe but it just looks like your guy has achieved his final form and grug stayed in his top shape but it is equivalent to top last year - not enough.
On the other hand P*dcock could follow and he is not your first thought on wattbombers despite the obvious squeak levels of W/kg.

FUCK OFF WITH THE SATAN FLAG.

>>73144
Frauds exposed on day 1, nice

everyone from my cuntry enjoys sniffing dirty butt holes

>>73151
Really???

>>73152
it's true

Haha ignore that other guy, it's actually a fact that all Poles are semen addicts

>stay behind the car to reach the cipressa
>stay behind mateo on the cipressa
>have victor, mateo and laporte wait for you to bring you back behind the two climbs
>stay at the back of the peloton the whole poggio
>snicky attack at 1.4km to go, behind moto
>HE'S BACK, would have followed pogi 100%
Kek

godon?

Why Polan flag is upside down?

>>73151
>>73153
>>73154
Don't forget to continue attention whoring with that slimy shapeshifting chumminess and all other obnoxious eurolarp.

I bet this "Pole" is Australian.

What's going on

back on topic:
<Pogačar’s mechanic, Boštjan Kavčnik, reveals: “Only after the finish did we realize Tadej had ridden the finale on a cracked frame.”

>“The rear fork was damaged, but fortunately it held together. Had Tadej known the true condition of the bike, he would never have descended so aggressively as he even attacked on the descent and when he tried to push Tom Pidcock to the limit.”

>“Tadej crashed on his left side, where there’s no gear shifter, but the crash mode was still triggered. He reset it himself and didn’t notice anything else wrong, so we didn’t change the bike.”

“This bike will now go into his special collection, it cannot be used anymore.”

>>73162
what is crash mode?

>>73163
the rear derailleur is disabled to prevent it from shifting

>>73162
>There was a good reason not to switch bikes. “It was the first time Tadej opted for a single chainring. By removing the front derailleur and the extra chainring, we saved weight and were able to improve aerodynamics. He also used larger wheels with narrower tires: 28 millimeters this year compared to 30 millimeters last year,” Kavčnik outlines
I thought 30 were faster than 28?

>>73165
on smooth roads it depends on whatever the wheelset they're using is designed for, if he's using the most aero wheelset that the sponsor has to offer and that one is optimized for 28s then the 28s are faster.
If the most aero wheelset is designed for ~32mm tire width then tires that measure 32mm would be faster, on rough sections like cobbles wider is always better

BARBIER wins in Thailand. Nobody lost time except for Jack LIGHTFOOT. His feet must have been heavier than expected

My boy KERGOZOU DE LA BOESSIERE is WASHED

>>73161
Burgers got bootyblasted about my unwillingness to keep posting under a burger flag.
Surely this is that tryhard "Dane" fed, but I wouldn't be surprised if there is more than one falseflagging.
Winebert was asking questions too but he doesn't strike me as a prime suspect, and he can take banter ok.

Sorry burgers, your flag is now just a rung or two higher than the j*wish one.

Ez

that would have been the thai stream of stage 1. the sprint was on a Belgian tier road.
https://youtube.com/watch?v=HEsYgEfklI4 [Embed]

also a big chute happened 400 meters before the end

wout msr video dropped, don't watch it. visma gloating despite having cheated as hell.

finally a saddlebag worthy of bertaczek

>>73173
I would rather cut my own head off with a rusty razor blade then watch that shit so no worries

Than*. God damnit

>>73175
ok, my recommendations updated, looks like every team made a MSR video. I wonder if UAE's video quality is still so bad that it looks like Gianetti is filming and editing them himself.

>>73174
I ordered new saddlebag yesterday

>>73178
kek, sorry we bullied your H U G E saddlebag so many times you finally considered getting a smaller one.

>>73179
I fear it might not be that much smaller

You know, protein bars don't pack that small, he needs a huge bag for his dozens of bars.

>>73181
sizeking eh

Also the full spectrum of Park Tools (tm) tools to deal with the inevitable mechanical catastrophe.

>>73183
My main issue with my current saddlebag is not the size, but that its point of contact is also on the seatpost and then it gradually moves itself down until it lands on the varia

>>73182
I put me bars in me jersey pocket, I'm not a monster

These cute little goats are everywhere, I nearly hit one on Sa Calobra when it jumped in front of me

managed to squeeze one last tempo ride in before the dogshit weather. now 2 days rest and then maybe a indoor ramp test is in order, the fatigue estimation in intervals.icu is way off

>>73188
Nice !

I made an ad hoc adjustement to my pedals that might prevent the massive play and squeaking from happening. Hopefully it won't lead to chute fatale, but I have tried almost everything now.

>>73187
Should have moooed at them.

That fucker Veistroffer is at it again.

de lie out, adjust

>>73193
was never in my team

My boy Baptiste is gonna score me so many points this race

>>73188
that's kino
regards,
your friendly funposter

didn't pay attention that it's a slockfest in tete. So I get breakaway points as well.

EGG TOWER

peculiar

>>73196
Don't be shy,
"Excellent ride my Bërtt, bravo, I hope this was all even zones?? Hope we are getting some oeufs mit schnitzel kino! XD"

>>73201
There we go.

whats with the influx of schizoidposting recently

>>73204
It's just the poleAI going rogue

>>73188
Very nice Bert.
You more than deserve a schnitzel and a couple Duvels.

Well, time for a ride before winter comes back.
They said 16 degrees and sunny but it is neither.

>>73204
>>73205
Yes, it was me being me to argue with me.

>>73207
sure is windy though kek

>>73207
go for it, forecast says 2-3 weeks of rain and snow

>>73199
dios mio, es el centro de huevos

the N in NSN doesn't stand for NEVER pull

kwab bennet

GODon with pogiesque tuffs

pidders not giving a fuck or why is he at the back of the pedalton?

>>73192
Should've picked him instead of lowly Gamper

>>73215
probably just took a leak or something

Wtf why is Steinhauser in the back, don't drop

ynr Peter Sagan

veisthuffer laché what a slock

struck a nerve with mister mask wearer I see, shame schizos tend to be so sensitive!
a long winter of sleeping on park benches will make anyone grumpy to be fair

hmmm, lidl with verona, cicco, gee from the west, skelly, sam oomer. who is even their team leader?

>>73217
Hey, this looks like a great place for a church. Nice and safe surrounded by "a hill".

SMH

>>73222
not hard to figure out

>ethan vernon wasn't supposed to ride this race
it's over

steinhoser dropped

What the fuck is wrong with Steinhauser. I DEMAND my velocoins back. I could've had Veistroffer + another 6p instead of Steinhauser + two 4p shitters.

dang they might make it

>>73228
absolutely zero chance

Liam Slock. The man I adjusted out laqt minute because everyone is taking him and I like to have an advantage.
I now have a disandvantage.

Uhlig collected

uhlig CHUTE

uuuuh liegt

pedalton split

>>73229
Kirby made me believe

>>73230
> because everyone is taking him
wut

ALLEZ BAPTISTE

still waiting for the banners in German: Radfahren in Katalonien.

>>73236
I assumed, it was an obvious 4 pointer pick.

>>73235
He just makes shit up as he goes...

cam on schlock

all those speed humps of death

bertaczek's pick rell DNF btw

feasting

Cort wins lol

CORT Doubters in shambles (me)

lame-x

Who was UAE riding for?

Based Cort. I feared he was washed up.

Never would have picked Cort after his weaker showings, but good for him I guess

That looked almost more painful than yesterday

drink faxe kondi

>>73250
Ivo Oliveira

Sometimes he can surprise from far, but the startlist here is a bit too for that

>>73256
but he was doing the leadout, he kept looking back mid sprint

make of it what you will

>9. T. Aerts
troon schlock literally saving me today

>>73258
there's dutch people that didn't pick Isidore, the obvious 4 pointer

>>73255
I actually do shop at Rema 1000 and drink Faxe Kondi

>>73257
I think it's just a bad habit. He doesn't really do sprints, just tries to surprise from far.

>>73257
Hoping he had a gap I guess

What the fuck is VERNON doing? I thought he might have at least a day off but these are two now. Can't be sure it is a sprint tomorrow or on montjew. Move you fucking *nglo.

>>73264
kirby said he was called up last minute so he won't do shit

Dopathlon.
Who even is Isidore.

The hungry-not hungry coefficient is rising as the top metric for driver performance.
Swear to God, every little refresh and I get the burger flag again.
