Starting a rumour about Mathieu van der Poel and Freddy Ovett

Yippie ☺️

Allez de ochtend goed begonnen met mijn kas op te fretten door de reacties te lezen op Torfs zijn blunder. De reacties zijn veel milder dan voor De Sutter en zeggen zelf expliciet dat VRT een ‘heksenjacht’ aan het doen is, en het ‘totaal niet vergelijkbaar is’ let De Sutter haar flater 🙄

Me and my mom thought the northern lights things were fake and didn’t bother to watch and now we wake up seeing everyone their pics

a retiring coworker proposed to take everyone’s headshots in the department and since I don’t have any (semi)professional photos I said yes but man that’s quite confronting…. You mean I look like that? On a daily basis? 🤡

Mathieu his gf Roxanne posting a pic of Mathieu for his birthday where they’re in front of the 9/11 memorial, girl

Bro that’s literally my bike repair guy 😭😭😭

I don’t know what’s funnier, the caption with the picture implying he loves victor, his eyes and his smell or the “with kid” tag on the victor photo 😭

If you get into academia you have to take a mandatory class “how to ghost anyone who sends an email to you” and you cannot start until you pass

people on Twitter talking about visma their training making Simon quit like I don’t think it’s insane of a team to expect someone who won a GT last year and was given leader positions in several races to… put in the work?

I don’t know if it’s because I haven’t been a student in 6 months but have students always smelled this bad? Went to the library to pick up a book, pungent sweat odour. Supervised an exam and I thought I was gonna choke on the toxic fumes in the auditorium

January 2026 and I’ve already seen the Jonas doesn’t race enough narrative, he’ll have 56 race days before August which is more than pog did all 2025

Bro

Matteo never shave your head ever again

Van aert is riding so many classics, hope he does KBK so I can see him live again

My favourite thing to do in the office is soft launching that I’m going home early

You just know someone’s job at sporza is refreshing Wout his socials 24/7

sometimes I’m a tad envious of Thibau Nys his bond with his father, like damn I wish I was my fathers favourite son

Cam Mason fourth time British cyclocross champion

Nys sounds almost disappointed that he let verstrynge get so close like you won bro it’s okay

Damn I wish it was Lars :(

Verstrynge thank you 🙏🏻

Well, I had hoped for a little more tension

Nys pace yourself

Belgian u23 nats has been an exciting race so far

Hearing another Lucinda Brand stinker in NK cyclocross?

Marion doing hand hearts when she crosses the finish line 🫶

Is D66 stupid?

DAMNIT SHE JUST HAD AN APPOINTMENT TODAY MINE IS IN TWO WEEKS

Perhaps my favourite MVDP picture ever

End of career for Eli Iserbyt I am gutted 😞

my body not being able to tell the difference between a life and death situation and…. A PhD proposal that’s only due in 2 months

Another sudden retirement/sabbatical has hit the visma towers

Simon Yates I respect you out of respect for the narrative

Go to bed? Oh you mean the sock graveyard I also happen to sleep in?

That Canadian champ jersey…. Jail

The moment that “-2 moderate snow and ice warning” hits my weather app I’m not coming into the office. Sorry loves cannot be bothered with all that x

writing for an academic journal that places their footnotes before the punctuation mark

Do you think cyclists miss being talked through races in the off season? Do you think there’s a cyclist out there filling their bowl with cereal thinking “I wish someone was telling me I’m doing a good job right now”

Trouée d’Arenberg

It’s snowing and we live on the Kluisberg so for the past hour we’ve just been staring out of our window seeing one car after the other try in vain to get up the hill, sometimes even sliding back

Just seen footage of Wout’s crash and all I can think is he’s not the first Belgian cycling star who’s had issue with white powder…

I legitimately think Mathieu has hypothermia

Spain resident Van Der Poel when he’s in real wintery circumstances

so that’s gonna be the end of WVAs CX season right? Can’t see him starting the Belgian championships next week and idk if you wanna go the the world championships like this

This might be Wouts first DNF in a cyclocross race

Spreading the rumour Mathieu brake checked Wout

Fucking hell
