kek, it's about those juicy UCI points.

meanwhile wout gets bullied for not doing a lead-out today

The rampa most likely gonna be inconsequential, ideally it should be on 30th km and have the BORA km on top of it. Break can form afterwards.

Two teams joined the league late, wonder which of them is the schizo.

>Average speed over the last 10 minutes of today's stage: 55.6kph.

ZINGLE was 109th. Knew it was a bad pick but not this bad.

Finished ISLES OF SEA AND SKY. Pretty good puzzle game, it destroyed my face but in a good way. Recommended for puzzleberts.

>>8029
Not as bad as FREDHEIM though (112th)

>>8031
always interested in how UNO-X decides what sprinters/riders they go for. its like their playing PCM and going for the guy with the +5 race day condition

>>8031
Had him for a while but the form lately discouraged me. Too bad WATSON burnt his matches, could have been DAINESE.
Ngl, did not consider the nigger at all, didn't think ACK would wake up at all.

>>8026
Easiest Mads P win of the race

how was your ride, some post work hills for me

>>8026
meanwhile the PCS profile she told you not to worry about

>>8029
another rider absolutely ruined by visma

GC. >>8042

so it's definitely a madswinslol tomorrow, right?~

the GC teams could drop him but I don't see them doing anything but slurping on week 1 of a Giro

>>8044
I had a vision on my ride today that derek gee goes solo and wins

>>8044
Aular wins tomorrow.

>>8044
According to our overlords at bet365 yes, yes he'll win by a mile
wout right behind him so they are full of shit like always

>>8047
they have to adjooost the odds, because so many tards/HLN readers are betting on wout.

>>8050
speaking of HLN comments, saw this gem earlier

>I can imagine that other teams hinder Wout as much as possible. It could well be that certain riders are designated for this, like man-to-man marking in football.

>>8066
I've been doing a bit better since my disastrous start, but I really have to improve my sixes.

>>8066
if its not impolite to ask, i remember you saying you were thinking of doing an analysis of the rider pick sum and correlation to points results. is that in the works?

>>8072
my statistics course book is starring at me and telling me please don't

>>8038
I should have gone to the 4channel thread to check Bertollo's profiles

>>8072
Nope, but I didn't forget about it.
Should be below an hour to do it, will probably go for it as the next goombling is a month away, I will go anxious about acoustic numbers during that time.
>>8073
Why not. The scores have to be normalized for each race, the plot is going to be dense, the law of large numbers will go into play and a roughly straight line from the origin to top-right will show up but it will be a cool exercise.

>>8074
you have to look in the 4plebs archive.

none of that is cycling related dumbo

>>8075
I was thinking of making a random belgian runner name generator for fun but then it got too complicated in my head and - after all - i can just look at any junior race in the lowlands with the same effort

This is night night time so I will probably continue tomorrow.

Thinking about driving to Italy

>>8084
Iranian cycling got busted a long time ago Bert. Everyone banned, including the GOAT POURSEYEDIGOLAKHOUR

>>8086
why does WADA hate the growth of the sport? why does the UCI hate third worlders? much to consider

>>8085
why not the train?

>>8088
Because I need a car there to drive around and renting a car costs LITERALLY a billion eurodollars nowadays

>>8084
what the fuck

With the arrival of the peloton onto the shores of Italy, we celebrate the much-anticipated return of /WORLD TOUR WINE/ !!

I have to say, I am VERY excited about our line-up for il Giro d'Italia. Attention payers may know that I favor French wine almost exclusively (supplementing with some Oregon/Cali Pinot and Chardonnay as well as German Riesling and Spatburgunder). Italy grows more wine than anywhere on the planet, has more varietals, more protected appellations, etc and I rarely venture into Bel Paese. So we will all be learning a lot here.

Today's wine is from the heart of heel, grown and vinified directly on the route of today's stage in Salento, Puglia. Puglia is known for a few different varietals, but primitivo (the Italian name for zinfandel) is the most popular. Interestingly, Burgers had previously thought that the Zinfandel grape was native to America but it turned out to be from clones of Italian Primitivo, where it travelled likely from Croatia originally. The relentless heat and flat terrain positively roasts the grapes, producing wines of uncommon concentration and alcoholic fire.

Tormaresca Torcicoda Primitivo del Salento 2021 ($31)

Torty minute decant. This pours a medium-deep ruby with dark core and red highlights. The viscosity is high. The nose reminds one of a lunch meal on a patio under a scorching southern Mediterranean sun - roasted tomatoes, plum and fig, sweet tobacco, pepper, Chinese five spice. The palate has a dry, fruity punch up front with plum and tomato. The mid palate is cocoa and tobacco, finishing with alcoholic burn and chocolate tannins. The acidity is low.

This is rich and a bit ungainly with such a wallop of hot booze on the finish. I wish it had some acidity or minerality to balance what is almost a port-like profile. But it is complex and pleasant. Very nice!

>>8091
i always look forward to these. grande

>>8092
I should also note that basically all of these wines are sourced from official Giro sponsor EATALY which has one of the best collections of Italian vino in the United States.

>>8091
I also enjoy reading these, molto bene

I'm coming down off a bad cold or I would open a bottle I've been looking forward to — the wine guy at the grocery store recommended it so I went in blind

>>8095
That's a classic Cotes du Rhone and tough to beat for price. You will certainly enjoy it.

>>8096
cheers, that's what the guy said

>>8095
why does it say that it was selected by Kermit de frog?

Rohan Dennis gets 2 years of probation and he's not allowed to drive a car for 5 years as punishment for killing his wife lol.

>>8099
need more proper psychos in the pedalton like dennis. heres to hoping tiberi is far too timid right now, lets hope he grows into his role as peloton villain.

>>8099
Lame.
Should have made him spill the beans about doping as part of the plea bargain.

>>8099
Imagine being such a roidhead you kill your wife over kitchen cupboards
What were they feeding that guy

>Lamberts is also at the basis of the rider that the 33-year-old Roglic is today, with four Vuelta’s and a Giro d’Italia to his name. “We made those plans together, when Visma | Lease a Bike wanted to try to win a Grand Tour. Primoz had the potential, a very high VO2-Max. But the aerobic threshold that is so important for classification riders, was not that high. Still higher than Jurgen Van den Broeck (who catapulted Lamberts to third place in the Tour de France in 2010, ed.), but still…”

Jurgen catching strays

>>8106
>In short, Roglic and his Belgian trainer experienced memories galore in a collaboration of almost ten years. “Only Wout van Aert did I train longer. Primoz is number two on my list of longest collaborations,” says Lamberts, who closed the door at Visma | Lease a Bike and Van Aert behind him at the end of 2023 to sit out a ‘last dance’ with Roglic at Red Bull-BORA-hansgrohe.

>The decision to leave Van Aert behind was difficult for him at the time. But the choice for Roglic was a clear one. “I always said that I wanted to stop together with Primoz. Wout is a few years younger, so that would have been difficult with him.”

>“I was ready for another challenge anyway after my time at Visma | Lease a Bike and with Primoz I got a great opportunity to stop at Red Bull-BORA-hansgrohe together. That is still the intention. Or at least if it is up to me. In the meantime I have said to Primoz: if you sign another year, then I see only one solution and that is to kill you (laughs).”

>>8107
Must be nice having a long term coach you trust completely.
Poor De Lie for example switched 3 or 4 already and it shows.

>>8109
Poor De Lie forced lotto to hire his fraud friend so he didn't have to train as much

>>8107
>>8106
Must be nice to have a vo2max of 90 and just train your fractional utilization and time to exhaustion so that you can do good power on longer climbs.

any chromium based browser translates it without problems. please install some proper UTF-8 font set, that can display all those funny slav characters.
also I clicked on hokej and they did the same sob story for a Suisse hockey player. who knew that czechs thrive on drama like belgians.

>>8123
>“After Dwars door Vlaanderen, it was more difficult for Wout to quickly find motivation again,” admitted his wife. “But if he can’t recover mentally immediately after a setback, it’s up to me and the people around him to react. Wout puts a lot of pressure on himself, which the media only increases. So I tried to convince him: Above all, stay positive.”
He will definitely still have a chance at the Giro

>The Giro is still young and will reach its peak in Rome in nineteen days.

>So much can still happen.

>And change.

>“We believe that Wout will improve in three weeks,” says sports director De Reef. The form he had before his illness has not just disappeared. We are sure that he will now support Olaf Kooij in the sprints, but also Simon Yates in the hills at some point. And later he will certainly have a chance to succeed from the breakaway. He is an exceptional guy who can do anything, but we have to be careful with him too.”

>Former Dutch cyclist Lars van den Berg adds: "There is no reason to panic. Wout can still show significantly better form during the Giro. However, he should not push the limit too soon or too often now, otherwise he will not be able to fully recover."

why does wout post his kiddos on instagram. he wants to celebrate his 2nd places with them, I don't care, George will always hate him. but posting photos of your kids on social media is bad parenting.

Well CX legend VANTHOURENHOUT is in it along with PELIKAN

>>8140
And some guy called Siebe DEWEIRDT. Allegedly

Bert was right, the Ungarn profile is VERY lame this year
This was a fun stage last year, but this year they only ride the mythical slopes of Gyöngyös-Kékestető

What happened to Covi? He's been relegated to race second rate races only.

>>8143
My guess is he is on his way out.
Probably hasn't progressed the way the team hoped and he isn't that young anymore.

>>8143
Going to visma

Gotta love teams that know they'll have their fat sprinters dropped by Trek in the final climb not trying to put anyone in the break. Impressive display of stupidity as always.
>>8144
Are there any rumours? I see him in Kazakh blue next year.

>>8146
>I see him in Kazakh blue

That's the fate of all mediocre grande riders these days.

Bais bros we are so back

Yeah, think I'm done with interviews for a long time.
Still draining as shit even if you know stuff.

I said no cam pls but I recommended a certain array of other prominent posters who would love a live interview, with Mielke himself.

Ok, off for the ride before the monsoon season arrives.

>>8153
it's not gonna be that bad
but boy the average temperature this very may is about 15 degrees

did you put you're bikerack back on the car yet ?

>>8151
um yes, do you have a question that isn't about Wout?

good catch, adding

filters even more of his shit

>>8177
nice

My coach put in 7h rides for every Friday from here on out to train for longer races like the nationals in June. Going to have to plan some BIG routes, should be fun if my ass can handle it. It will also be great to see new places on the bike

>>8180
also add

What do you need them filters for? Why even go on 4channel there ain't nothing there

I can't ban the online dark devil casino shit, as it's posted over tor, I hope the word filter works for the links. we'll see tomorrow

>>8190
next time the admin comes by in the thread someone ask him to unban the russians

>>8190
I already told him what to do and reached out to the admins here. for some reason his IP is on some external spam database that endchan uses, but not the actual spammers.

hmm

discovery+ stream is lagging like crazy today

>>8193
isn't it fairly easy to get around this websites IP tracker? I mean it thinks I'm American so it can't be that good

Mads also has a lifetime contract? what a trend for the top riders

>>8183
7 hours every week? I don't want to insult the beautiful Finnish landscapes, but doesn't get it a bit monotonous after a while?

Checking it out here too, whats the point of the migration?

>>8183
don't you DARE ride that outside no no you gotta do that on the trainer

>>8200
no more schizos, a pleasent experience

>>8199
Yeah every week, first 2h with some FTP intervals and then 5+h of easy endurance to top it off for more gains.
It is a bit difficult to come up with interesting routes on the road but there's lots of great gravel ones around here. Like this, 130km in the middle of bumfuck nowhere with beautiful red gravel roads. Just got to think of good roads for the intervals first and then go for the smaller gravel ones.
>>8201
Hehe, actually I haven't been on the trainer once for the past six days, imagine that

18km to go in Hungary and Duinkerke

>>8204
Forgot the pic

>>8200
no more schizos, can post multiple pictures at once without a 4mb cap

wont they find it here too eventually should the cyc thread on 4chan die?

Any idea on the numbers?
Are more people here now than on cyc chan on average?
I just wanna be where cyclismo discussion is most lively

>>8214
for me it is chin ups, kettle swings, and ground work

>>8216
it's definitely slower here than it was on 4chan but I don't mind it

CHUTE

chute in Hungary as well

who is Flanders team riding for?

>>8216
it'll be livelier with you here :)

I only found it myself a week or so ago and was going in both threads until I dropped 4channel because it was so much nicer

>>8223
HESTERS of course

drink Monster energy drink

>>8216
Im on both, right after the hack chan was slow, but now, most of the time its faster than here. I still think this split is ridiculous and just divides the office. It feels retarded to talk about a chute in 2 places.
The only people here are refugees but there are never going to arrive new people, only go away. So it will eventually get slower and die.

I was watching ciclismo, can't metapost when 3 races are on at the same time. we already had the meta discussions before. just have both /cyc/s open in a tab and post where you feel comfy. for me it's posting multiple images in one post and not having to fill out captchas that keeps me here.
yeah, I'm well aware how stupid it is posting the same shit as rusbert would post.

Zamba?

Zambanini??

Mads is so strong lmao

Okay Mads won. Vacek not normal

absolute KINO last 5km holy shit, that was ciclismo porn

that mads comeback was pure kino
incredible

how he and vacek merged positions perfectly after going around 2 corners, smooth as butter

>>8344
Mads did deviate here

Storer even sprinting now. Fuck that guy

he might actually win more stages than pogi last year

>>8344
whats del toros problem kek

FIORELLI vs TARLING going how I hoped it will. A much more soulful pick.
Too bad AULAR became what PLUIMERS was supposed to.

>>8352

your reminder that david GAUDU is in this race. apparently.

>>8356
Was probably just dead. STRONG 34th

zambanini incredible sprint
humbled tom shitecock

Groves also in the group but 47th. Insane how Mads came back to the front

>>8361
the power of being at the front when you are getting dropped, he dropped all the way through the peleton while guys like strong and groves dropped off the back

where was this vacek this entire spring?

>>8364
he had a real bad crash in strade

vacek gonna get the bag next year. solo leading out pedersen to every one of his wins. even if its against puncheur shitters if vacek isnt here mads wins maybe one stage

If Mads wasn't here Vacek would have won this with 10 bike lengths

50 points sprint btw
Kooij btfo'd
