    Primoz continues to drift back with each acceleration. He’s not that guy, not this year. 

    I'm not even sure he will Red Bull BORA's main GC rider this tour.  Lipowitz is a decade younger and in much better form as of late.  

  2. Not an ideal first two days for Remco.  Already down ~45 seconds to Tadej and Jonas.  I don't think he is a real threat to them but I'm sure had desire to stay much closer before the mountains.

  3. I think Visma might be a touch stronger than UAE.  That said, it didn't matter in the Crit Du Dauphine.  Tadej just took all their blows and accelerated on steepest climbs where Jonas couldn't match.  I do think Jonas can stay within striking distance this year and pounce should Tadej have an unexpectedly bad day.

    If Charlotte is the "gold standard" why did they remove that color from their home & away uniforms? Bricks on the helmet stripe look stupid, but whatever. "Brick by brick"

    Please get these two teams on each others schedule ASAP.

    Really enjoying the "He who fights with monsters" series by Shirtaloon/Travis Deverell.  @THUJONE would be right up your alley.

    Just discovered this and its been excellent so far.  Such a fun read.

    At minimum, that's the third time a Mercedes' driver has taken out Max by Leeroy Jenkins'ing it on lap 1 in the past 4 years.

    It was a terrible move.  That said, Max has a history of dive bombing into corners, albeit with more control, initiating contact so:

  7. I started watching Anime to connect with my niece and nephew.  I still watch some even when they aren't around.

    Attack on Titan is GOAT for me.  Death Note was enjoyable for a few seasons.  Neon Genesis Evangelion was interesting as it explored the physiological impacts on child warriors.  Berserk might be one of the most depressing things I've ever watched.  Vinland Saga is maybe worth a watch, Game of Thrones meets anime.  I couldn't get into Demon Slayer or Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood, although both are widely praised.  

    Non-traditional anime I enjoyed: Castlevania and Blue Eyed Samurai.  

  8. Stage 4 of Dauphine was interesting with Jonas beating Tadej by 29 seconds.  Was Tadej mortal?  Stage 6 Tadej looked like a machine once again, dropping Jonas, Remco, and others on a climb to win by over a minute.

    Great stage.  Not sure how the tour can beat that this year.   Carapaz has questionable tactics at times but at the end of the day the race leader in Del Toro has to ride on the front at this pace to win the race and not expect help.  It's what the champions have to do on a big stage and he will learn that.  

    Giro has been amazing to follow this year.  But the TDF has Tadej and Jonas, that will be more than enough.

    The good thing I guess is when the US loses, Trump will claim that it’s rigged and give the victory to the good guys. First World Cup championship is in the bag.

    Wait until he figures out Folarin Balogun, Yunus Musah, and Ricardo Pepi are members of the roster.  He will simply throw the team under the bus and say DEI ruined it.

    I will be riding an event called 18 hours of Fruita on May 3rd.  Teams of 4 individuals alternating laps.  Course is flowy, non-technical singletrack, ~ 7 miles and only 400 feet of climbing.  I've spent the winter on my trainer in the basement and feel physically really good.

    The challenge will be mental.  The race starts at midnight and wraps up at 6 pm.  Teams are trying to complete as many laps as possible.  I will be doing a 40 minute lap, then resting for 2 hours, then another 40 minute lap, and so on.  I expect to do ~7 laps over the course of 18 hours.  I suspect getting back on my bike for laps 5-7 will be daunting.  

    Finished this event and don't think this format is going to be an annual thing for me.  The team aspect was a lot of fun but sleeping 3-4 hours, trying to consume enough calories for 18 hours of riding on & off, and some cramping detracted for sure.  I also might suck at night riding, as I crashed hard on my second lap and injured my shoulder some.  For the next few months, it's time to heal up and just ride for fun without any specific training program.

    These lists are so silly.  That said, the Browns taking Drew Allar at 5 after drafting 2 QBs this year seems so dead on.

    Which trails at Fruita?  18 Road stuff?  Me and WD40 were there a few years ago. We did Joes Ridge a bunch and Zippety Doo Da. I love those trails. It would be great doing those at night with a big starry sky. 

    Done that trail system and both those trails, great stuff. We won’t be there however, closer to state park.

    You'd not really think there's much hellacious "racing" in DFW, but DORBA does this heinous, disgusting thing called Judgment Day.

    To complete it, you do 70 or 100 miles on prescribed parts of local trails in 24 hours.  In July.

    That sounds way worse than what I’ll be doing. I’m not overly race focused but like doing 2-3 throughout the year to keep myself motivated. Rarely want to do anything that takes over 4 hours to complete.

  15. Tadej has been busy, and impressive, this spring.  This acceleration at the end roaring away from Remco, Ben Healy, and Pidcock today was something.  Will be excited to see what kind of form Jonas is in by TDF.
