couple drinks down and my mum says onleys overrated

Always fun getting a flight out from Valencia this time of year. Flying with a baby always feels a bit nervy.. but with a UAE rider next to you and Bernie Eisel in the row behind - it feels even more stressful 🫨😅

Biased as lots of stages near me after being completely shafted last year, so good for me but JESUS - this Vuelta will be unbearably hot. Good luck to the riders.

Hoping, praying, willing for a Roglaphilic Vuelta route this evening.

Just came here to say ofc Pogi is riding Suisse and my god that new UAE kit is unbelievably trash.

CAMAN Jonas 👋🏻

some uncle Rogla zen 🧘‍♂️

Anyone else think this was Marcel announcing he was coming back? 😭😭😭😭

👀

So.. protesting a bike race works???

I’ve been thinking about that gold statue of tadej given what uae has been doing to sudan and its just so deeply reprehensible, I don’t have anything else to say aside from that it’s just really incredibly fucked up

Man, Bas and his Rockets are straight up nailing this. Lafay comes to play. Great singing.

Flèche, Suisse, Vuelta and Lombardia all in, win them all and then ride into the sunset 🌅 One of the best careers of all time ✅ 😉

It's coming home.

The 6th Monument, amirite?

First one of these is the hardest for Milan as long as Pogi starts…

#Roglanarod Is he at least smiling? 😬

I re-posted this but then realised I never actually had it on 😭

Tadej still in the peloton…

RB Bora helping UAE is just helping del Toro having to pull later and being more fresh and thus increasing his chance to beat Roglič for the podium Insane tactics

RedBull and Decathlon working on the front of the bunch #ilLombardia

Demare, Kristoff, Meintjes, Viviani, Majka etc etc. I suppose this day comes for every fan, but how did 10 years go by just like that.

At least we got some firepower in the early break.. wish teams would lean on UAE now but ofc everyone will support the chase…

In practice it probably doesn’t work because Pogi is just another level.. However, if he is already destined to win.. why not go down swinging? EF, Lidl, RBBH, Ineos, SQS all have multiple podium candidates for this race. Send some in the early break, cause some chaos - just try SOMETHING.

Normally, Il Lombardia is one of my favourite races to watch 🍂 🇮🇹 Great startlist, one of the prettiest races.. but I have next to no interest this year.. We’ve just had two dominant solo wins by Pogačar and I literally can’t see him being beaten.. Hope to be suprised but yeah.

🇮🇹 Il Lombardia ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Tadej Pogačar ⭐⭐⭐ del Toro, Evenepoel, Pidcock, Seixas, Roglič ⭐⭐ Martinez, Storer, Healy, Skjelmose, Powless, Yates ⭐ Uijtdebroeks, Carapaz, Bernal, Tulett, Grégoire, Eulálio, Izagirre #ILombardia

Fuck IPT

Skujins big race buff has to be studied.

Man, Del Toro is a bit of a talent isn’t he?

Giro dell’Emilia is one of the most beautiful races on the calendar, not many finishes top this one on San Luca 🏛️ Fun startlist too with Roglič and a stacked RBBH taking it to Del Toro and Pidcock.. Should be an exciting one to watch 👀 Love the Italian Classics 🍂 🇮🇹

Montreal World Championships elite men’s road race 2026: 27 September European Championships elite men’s road race 2026: 4 October That is including jet lag…….. Tadej Pogacar is right in criticising this planning.

Uhhhh What

protesting bike races continues to work

Not a great sign…

A lot of upcoming talent.. but Paul Seixas in 13th at Worlds at 19 years old. Unreal.

Roglič so nearly top 10

Genuine question, but do you think Tadej finds this exciting just riding off the front solo all the time? I mean I guess the money helps but?

Greatness can do one at this point

Pov: you once again have to witness greatness

Because Pogi was already solo I’ve only just tuned in.. any chance this is going to get exciting or has he locked this in already?

Could Alaphilippe be any more Alaphilippe?? Attack, caught, dropped, abandoned 🙃

Strong early break for the beginning of the Men’s WC…
