Always ready to bring the good #procycling content.

Sugar beet season. (No one was hurt.)

Well here we go... Three days along the Charles River River with 📷s

A visit to a corner on the Dutch coast where we said goodbye to my dear, dear sister who died four years ago today from metastasised breast cancer. Take care of yourselves and check your lumps, friends.

So summarized * Very densely populated country with lots of economic activity. * Mandatory environmental reports * Hardly any qualified police to guide A to B races on open roads. Solution: only circuits with civilians * shitty fuckers in cars just ignoring instructions from traffic marshals.

Hilarisch! I mean, hilarious. And informative, too, obviously. The Kaartmannen (Map Men) do The Netherlands:

I'm with Javi—never mind two HOURS, I wouldn't move two METRES to the TV to watch an individual time trial! Now, a team time trial …

Today's #TourOfHolland stage is a 15 km ITT, le sigh. It's the first stage outside of Holland, in the province of North-Brabant. South-Brabant is Belgium. The stage town is Etten-Leur which has zero connection with cycling. Neighbouring St. Willebrord on the other hand, …!!!

Absolutely fantastic series of photos of polar bears lounging around an abandoned research station near the Bering Strait. apnews.com/photo-galler...

Same bridge in the distance from the other side of the Island of Dordrecht, my photos. #procycling #tourofholland

That thing is amazing, and also amazing that it's not illegal. #procycling #tourofholland

Fuck. A generational loss.

Na 21 jaar keert de Tour of Holland terug op de wielerkalender. Vandaag is de proloog in Den Haag. De organisatie zette kortere etappes uit dan normaal, om fans te blijven boeien en tegemoet te komen aan de najaarsdip in het peloton. buff.ly/Bi2JZYQ

Oh ffs. #procycling

Happy Columbia Day. Phone's ringing, dude.

The stevedores who lash cargo in the port of Rotterdam were on strike which led to a huge traffic jam. Lots of clouds so I couldn't see all that far but still quite a line-up from the beach at Ouddorp:

@thijszonneveld.bsky.social Ik denk dat het officieel niet meetelt als UAE-overwinning omdat hij vandaag niet voor UAE rijdt, maar voor België.

"Light it up, Popo." #GiroDiLombardia #procycling

Maybe Kastelijn should officially become Belgian. #GravelWorlds

While doing this, I edited 2 French, 1 English and 1 Dutch Wikipedia page where the dates were wrong. Or at least, different.

I used the soothing Lombardy pictures to tally up all the dates of FW and LBL from 1936 onwards (FW's first year). I found one contested date, most sources say 1938 LBL was on 11 May but they may all have copied it from Mémoire-d-C. If 11 is right, it was the only year that LBL was on a Wednesday!

Data company Palantir is one of the most influential, secretive, and controversial companies in the world. NRC visited the office in London. What is the worldview of the Palantirians? [This is a translation of an article originally published in Dutch.] buff.ly/62hvzbB

Wielrenner Eli Viviani gaat stoppen. Een goed moment om deze fantastische foto van Jered Gruber op je tijdlijn te slingeren.

How's the antidoping infrastructure in Mexico? Sorry to be cynical, but it's #procycling

@tweakers.net Hoe/waar kan ik een link naar een product in een webshop doorsturen waar nu in Pricewatch nog staat "Wordt verwacht"? Ik heb het product enkele weken geleden al besteld en ontvangen van amazon-punt-nl, maar het is nog steeds niet opgenomen in Pricewatch.

Jaarbeursplein, Utrecht, Tue 7 Oct 2025, around midday.

I touched up her wonderful Wikipedia photo from 1967 (Britannica also edited it but with awful colour balance). Original album on Flickr is a great time capsule www.flickr.com/photos/rhawo... It seems the photographer was at Cambridge at the same time.

This is the entire Dutch procycling calendar 2026. Look at how small it is. Organising a bike race in this country is becoming nearly impossible due to lack of police support and many environmental regulations, mostly nitrogen deposition

NEW: Extraordinary scenes in Amsterdam this afternoon (Sunday, Oct 5). An estimated 250,000 bring the city to a standstill; people all wearing red to show solidarity with Palestine 🇵🇸 (🎥 Ahmed Zantac)

There are 14 days left of the 3-year period that will decide the 18 WT teams from 2026. Uno-X Mobility have increased their gap to Cofidis this week to 441 points of what can be the crucial 19th position if the Lotto and Intermarché-Wanty merger will go through.

Road tactics for Crelan Corendon in Meulebeke: Wyseure wins ahead of Sweeck who seemed to be the strongest and Vanthourenhout who did a lot of work but couldn't beat Crelan alone. #ExactCross #Meulebeke #cyclocross

Great last lap in Meulebeke with Van Alphen en Van der Heijden going head to head, changing positions a few times. Van Alphen looked good, took the lead a few corners from the end, but Van der Heijden, a non-sprinter, "sprinted" past her on the outside. #ExactCross #Meulebeke #cyclocross

And another fine morning argued to shit. Bye.

"Bunkers" (casemates) of the Atlantikwall are still littered throughout the Dutch landscape. It's very costly to demolish them so they're simply left standing. I've only been in a few, most of them are closed off. But here's one they sawed in half! Interesting photos: maps.app.goo.gl/XqWKUW9Fck3T...

I took that photo of Cor Vos at the Dutch time trial championships 2009 in Zaltbommel. In the headline photo on the right, I think that's @jverheul.bsky.social 's baby brother www.flickr.com/gp/dnet/1EGc...

Hello, @cyclingalps.bsky.social 🐄🐄🐄

Sunflower 🌻 ready to be harvested by the birds and maybe mice.

@evanedinger.bsky.social I happened to see your video with the burgle/burglarize issue last night. Today I saw this. That's just making it too easy for the police! (I imagine it's a Dutch family name. I am Dutch but I hadn't heard of it.)

Eurosport: "You played down the effect of altitude. How do you feel now?" Tom Pidders, smirking: "Yeah yeah yeah, I played it down to you BEFORE I did any efforts. But then I did some efforts and, well..." #Kigali2025 #procycling
