i wonder if miguel angel lopez is going to return to a protour/wt team when his supension ends. it ends around the finish of next years tour de france he'll be 34 but i wouldn't be surprised if some team picked him up very cheap to be a (second to) last domestique in a GC train

toon aerts got that dawg for road races in him btw. even with his suspension it's kinda mad he only raced for what was essentialy national & club level racing (only a few UCI road races/year), he's obviously more than fit/talented for highest level road racing

alec segaert in non-itts knows one thing: going in the last few km's in a surprise attack. i have no idea why they keep trying him 😭

EULALIO =

twitch has turned into such a cesspool of IRL streaming degenerates under dj 'pervert' clancy i'm actually having to take the side of asmongold on a thing wtf how are you so developmentally stunted you think people are "weird" for catching you STEALING FROM THEIR SHOP. hello???

fun random fact nobody cares for about those beer bikes here in antwerp: if you hear hardstyle coming from the music boxes on those, it's about a 95-97% chance they're dutch. i also have never ever seen east asians tourists on them, they're the only tourists geographically who never ever try them

one of them beer bikes for tourists passed by my street and it was full of very drunk quirky white boys blasting an absolute classic (wipe me down) B O O S I E B A D A Z Z

even with half their team DNF and pogacar not starting, UAE still somehow manages to make a grand tour boring god bless

i've just seen the enric mas with tits picture dawg what the fuck 😭😭😭

a completely rotten society led by rotten men who have nothing but subhuman evil in their soul (if they had one, which they don't have bc they are not normal humans with a conscience like us) they do this openly now bc they know nobody will stop them: protected by the US, enabled by 'secular' jews

UCI cooking up the gnarliest "image to the sport" fine known to man

massie is one of the authors of the bill that released the epstein files and while very conservative, actually principled. upon doing that, the jewish state of israel instantly lobbied against him, making his primary the most expensive ever w israeli money probably a coincidence, right?

this is very funny. not even what americans would call "brown shitholes" would do some shit like this, this essentially means trump and his family estate are exempt until the end of times for any tax audit and americans just let it all slide. remember the epstein files? lmao

remco celebrating gooners, what else is new

there is nothing more annoying than US catholic converts because it's so very obvious that the only reason they converted was for the trad larp so they can market themselves. no real catholic would ever dare to question the pope, who is literally infallible, let alone do it constantly for a year+

ok i did not realize beloki is only 20 that kinda offers huge prospects for the future. EF might have a hidden gem, shuffling into the top 10 AFTER a 40Km+ ITT when you're that young is immensely impressive going to be honest, did not really know him like i do some of the bigger young stars

lowkey, the most impressive of these riders beside the obvious eulalio is piganzoli hindley+pellizzari and storer+rondel are (mostly) shared leadership meanwhile piganzoli started as a dedicated domestique for jonas

Paula Blasi keeps going strong and wins Durango Durango! 🥳🚀💕

the question is now, can eulalio actually podium this giro or is he going to "let go" in one of the upcoming mtn stages when he inevitably loses pink to jonas like i'm still not sure if he's battling to keep pink as long as possible or if he's actually switched over to riding for a place in GC

eulalio rode top 40 in a 40+km flat time trial in his only ever fourth professional individual time trial outside of portugal he rode tirreno and 2x giro last year: getting 161st, 150th and 92nd & everything else were time trials in portuguese championships or stageraces

eulalio keeping in top 40 at the intermediate times is genuinely generational for him and jonas is really not doing well (for grand tour ITT normality) this was the only way eulalio would keep pink and it might actually be happening, crazy stuff

thymen wow

eulalio was always going to lose pink today, his ITT is absolutely abysmal and he's unlucky to have encountered a +40km flat GT ITT for the first time in a hundred years unlocko maluko

can't remember a single song of drake's 3 new albums but the poopy-pants spoof has been going strong for at least 72hrs in my mind 🗣️liar liar pants on fire

let me put it in another way: the only rider who could realistically beat ganna on today's parcour (50/50 on who wins) is remco. but if remco started in this 2026 giro i'm pretty sure this itt would have been 19km instead of 40+ since modern organisers think gaining GC time via itt is cheating

this ITT couldn't be more tailor made for ganna even if they tried. this is like all those flemish spring classics adding in a trillion hills to lure pogacar but like on crack cocaine

i never thought pellizzari would win but he should be comfortable for a giro podium so him struggling yesterday is obviously related to something external of performance like i don't often make excuses for riders bad performance but i see no other explanation here. has had diamond legs all season

oh my god they're still going about it

the english commentators are starting to get on my nerve "look at aerts taking the smallest of turns" its fucking toon aerts in a mountain stage do you want him to kill himself for the other riders i don't mind a comment but they've saying the same shit for 15 MINUTES. WE GET IT.

the new drake album(s) are complete dogshit obviously but they're dogshit in a good way. already laughed out loud multiple times to the point of scaring my cat, that man has truly turned into a caricature of himself. something SNL would spoof in like the mid 2010's but like, he's doing it sincere

this has been such a strange stage

jilke passed away? 😢 rest in peace to her. as i have struggled with it myself it's always a bit soul destroying seeing someone even younger pass away to it, life is completely unfair at times 19 years old, born in 2007. damn

i don't think jonas is washed, jonas absolutely obliterated the blockhaus record. i just think gall rode a top 3 career climb today + he's a pocket climber made for these type of stages who can give more than other riders bc he knows he's not going for GC (with that 40km+ itt)

gall wtf man what a performance

pookie looking around like is this mfer keeping up with me wut

felix gall the pockiest of pocket climbers keeping pookie at 20 seconds inshallah

i like that pellizzari tried bc if he immediately rode pace we would have had an even more boring stage which was already very boring anyway

kitty kitty kitty

instead of paying servers a decent wage the epstein citizen (a "progressive" btw) rather frames it as a problem caused by the european visitor they've done the most american thing: instead of fixing the problem, find an external threat to blame and then don't actually do anything to resolve it

one of the savages trying to push riders of the bike yesterday apparently has past crimes, including robbery i am 100% certain this is napoleon complex behaviour btw. the dude in white looked 14 yet apparently he's 20 LOL

it has not really improved has it it's one thing to put a fuck off corner in a mountain stage finish or maybe in a breakaway stage where a reduced peloton is expected. but this was a sprint stage outright, why would you put in a corner where people would have crashed (even w/o rain)?

CLOSE CALL? LOOK AT THE STATE OF DEER-CHAN NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO SWEATY I HOPE YOU'RE OK

why isn't anyone of the team yanking denz of his bike and going "you're done"

they'd already pushed the novelty of being a 'youtube team' far, especially start of this season. changing nation license from dutch to french & dropping tietema completely to basically become a betting team w/unibet using AI is par for the course. "generate me blond white women to objectify"

i just read that mixtape (the game) was made by a company owned by a zionist billionaire and i went oooooooh that explains why it is pushed literally everywhere, getting 10/10 reviews yet i go to steam db and it's like 700 people playing it on the entire platform. astroturfed to the moon

i gotta say this stage sucked insanely hard until that finale, which offset it by being completely batshit insane

i have no idea how he done diddly doo doo that

arrieta pushing on pure hatred for italy

cant park there mate

it genuinely has been the worst stage day to have this weather. this finish dawg just insane corners for descending lol
