Ganz viel SameSame und sehr wenig different. So wird nix besser in der sogenannten Spitzensportförderung.

massive content warnings for survivors, but this article leaves zero doubt it was as bad as many feared. Cesar Chavez was a monster, and Dolores Huerta was one of his victims.

BRB, updating my will to prevent being made into an AI after I die.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

In 1965 Giuseppe Soldi became the UCI Amateur World Champion and rode Milan-San Remo alongside a young Eddy Merckx. Soldi then walked away from the sport. His son has written his biography: amazon.com/dp/B0GRR2G6W3

'The best we could achieve in the situation' - Anna van der Breggen after second place in Trofeo Binda www.cyclingnews.com/pro-cycling/...

I think I was pretty visible today when a woman pulled out of a driveway without looking and nearly hit me. I had a blinking front light too. High-viz will never be a solution for poor infrastructure and dangerous drivers.

It's finally there: The big one for Karlijn Swinkels! #TrBinda #UCIWWT

Van der Breggen & Swinkels in the lead after the Orino climb, 8" ahead of Ottestad. Georgi somewhere in between, bigger group at 48". Just 6 km to go. #TrBinda #UCIWWT

Sorry, but this is just embarrassing, Coppenrath. The German version is cringe, but the English ‘translation’ is off the charts Fremdschämen. I think maybe the original saying was in third language, because the English isn’t even a direct translation of German.

In which Google Maps gives me driving directions to the building next door

the Choctaw Nation here is doing a St. Paddy's Day thing because they have links/friendship with Ireland (they sent help during the Famine). I think that's cool. I just like that those two nations have a friendship bond over that that's lasted almost 200 years at this point.

What a crazy 6 Nations this has turned out to be.

Chapeau, Thomas Ramos (& Les Bleus). #FRAENG #SixNations

Whoever allowed France to play in light blue jersey & white shorts and England in white jersey & shorts needs a stern talking to. Only way to really tell the teams apart are the socks. #LukasJudgesJerseys #FRAENG #SixNations

Media & police commonly report that “speed wasn’t a factor in a crash.” What they mean is the driver wasn’t technically breaking the speed limit, or at least not too much. But speed is ALWAYS a factor, in how much distance is needed to stop, how well crash victims can be seen, and whether they die.

Can’t believe nobody wanted to read the articles nobody bothered to write

In 2022, Michael Valgren spoke about not wanting an injury to be the end of his career. Four years later, he’s winning again #TirrenoAdriatico A pretty inspiring comeback 💪

"even the declaration of no quarter"

Hegseth: "We will keep pushing, keep advancing. No quarter, no mercy for our enemies." No quarter is the refusal to take prisoners and instead just execute everyone. It's been considered a war crime for over a century.

Hatten af for Michael Valgren! 🇩🇰 #TirrenoAdriatico

It's true that Americans have largely been forced into car dependency, but also the nature of the infrastructure in many places leads people to "prefer" car travel over other modes, whether because it is viewed as more efficient or because it is safer. This is a real problem to address!

I see MvdP did "a Wiebes" in #TirrenoAdriatico today. 😉

What is “the E-Bike Effect?” “Those who bought e-bikes increased their average daily bicycle use from 2.1km (1.3 miles) to 9.2km (5.7 miles), a 340% increase. The e-bike share of all their transportation increased dramatically too; from 17% to 49%.” Fewer car trips. Via @lloydalter.bsky.social

You know the saying, "if the headline ends in a question mark, the answer is no". 😉

In einem „Sozialappell“ kritisieren SPD und Verbände das Landes-Ziel, bis 2040 klimaneutral zu werden, als zu ehrgeizig. Das ist populistisch und falsch.

Die Affäre um den Deutschen Buchhandlungspreis geht weiter: Der Beauftragte für Kultur und Medien (BKM) hat die drei ausgeschlossenen Buchhandlungen belogen. In einer E-Mail vom Februar teilte der BKM ihnen mit, die Jury hätte sich nicht für sie entschieden. Das war unwahr. (1/6)

Gazzetta article about Pogačar's income. No bonus for winning Strade Bianche last weekend. He's now on a salary of €8 million a year from UAE but only gets bonuses for winning grand tours (€1m for the Tour, €500k for Giro/Vuelta) and €250k for the Worlds www.gazzetta.it/Ciclismo/09-... (🇮🇹, €)

San Gimignano is gorgeous. 🤩 #TirrenoAdriatico

It's important to remember that the stock market is not reflective of the value of the comnpanies listed, it is a mood ring for rich people.

If it gets much worse they're gonna have to pad schedules / load extra fuel and go down through Red Sea / Gulf of Aden. Luckily jet fuel is pretty cheap these days.

Spring has definitely sprung! 💜 #Krokusblüte

The women's #StradeBianche was a crazy race with non-stop action. I had a look at what happened. dnlbenson.substack.com/p/10-conclus...

#Stockholm 🇸🇪 Central, August 1985. I was about to board the night train to #Narvik 🇳🇴, pictured here. The entry in my travel diary reads: “an all female crew is at work on this train, the engine driver, the conductor (ticket inspector) and the #DiningCar staff are women”. 💪 #InternationalWomensDay

This International Women's Day, you can help save The Cyclists' Alliance and protect the future of women's pro cycling: www.gofundme.com/f/save-the-c...

Wien ist Linz bei der Mobilitätsplanung einfach um Lichtjahre voraus. Es gibt hier Fußgängerzonen vor Schulen! Mit modalem Filter! Weil man in Wien weiß, dass ein Schild nicht ausreicht um Autofahrer abzuhalten. 😱

When we drove through Chesterfield to visit my grandparents, my dad used to tell the story of a witch who wasn’t paid for her help building the church, so she flew around the spire in a rage and left it twisted.

Had a look at the men's race. 45 km to go, 1'45" gap for Pogačar. Very impressive, to be sure, but not at all exciting. #StradeBianche

‘Strade Bianche is haunting me now, to be honest. The more I want it, the harder it is to get.' - Kasia Niewiadoma-Phinney when I interviewed her last year for Cyclist Mag. She just finished second for the fourth time after an incredible day of racing. www.cyclist.co.uk/in-depth/kas...

My husband is somehow having a nap on Le Tolfe

G2 went the wrong way (there was nobody there to signal at the crossroads). Gap now given as 2'43" with 30 km to go. Winner to be found among G1. #StradeBianche #UCIWWT

With 34 km to go, G1 (Chabbey, Koch, Kasia, MVM, Rüegg, Puck, SvA, NFB, MTC, Lippert, Vos, ELB, DW) is 1'12" ahead of G2 (Demi, KLC, Borgeshi, Couzens, Brand, Kopecky, AvdB, Vinke, FDV, Blasi, Mavi). What a race! #StradeBianche #UCIWWT
