  1. What a race. Looked like a criterium out there. MVDP is the most fluid pedal cadence in pro peloton on grass or road. Guy is unreal.
  2. Not surprising when your other business partners are Russia, Azerbaijan, need I go on?
  3. The only time I ever got annoyed by the POS system was at DKR stadium in north end zone bar. The girl selected the 25%. I selected 0% and signed as "fuck u" on the bill. Preselecting something and trying to scam people is a little shady.
  4. This circuit is brutal. I rode it a few years ago in the morning before the Tour rolls through. The road has a crown on it so it is a tricky uphill that you can't really tell on TV. Good on Tadej to try and take it.
  5. Hahaha please take that bus.
  6. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pjTROQR9pHQ Unreal post-race interview.
  7. Looked like a one day classic out there.
  8. Yea I didn't expect it either. For Jonas to pick up that much time when Tadej had a great ride is wild. He was flying through the opening corners so I applaud the tenacity to go for it.
  9. Question will be if JV can crack TP on a long climb as he is the more pure climber. Plenty of those left and it only takes one HC to do it. Otherwise I think TP takes it on the time trial.
  10. Perfect profile for either MVDP or Wout as they are neither pure climbers or sprinters. I just don't get trying to make the move late. I get that smaller teams won't work with them if they get in the early stuff and just let the deck reshuffle.
  11. Not to mention MVDP and Wout van Aert along with Tom Pidcock racing cyclocross in the winter as clear favorites.
  12. Fans at the base of the climb going crazy. Steep climb at the end with no fans. What a day.
  13. If I could replace the bike path with cobbles I could almost have a little forest of arenberg on my local ride.
  14. You know we could do surly style road trip to the tour.
  15. Not any cussing but my god the amount of dark humor and gallows humor directed at patients, situations, families. I had to cut back. At some point you feel the humanity leaving you.
  16. Sepp Kuss doing this thing as last climber to pace Jonas. Would love to see him on EF or a team where he could stage hunt like Neilson gets to do.
  17. Jesus I had no idea that was a thing. I did it as two days of two climbs. The hardest part is the mental part with the road signs that give you % gradient over the next kilometer. So if you see 10% and the first part of the kilometer is easy, then you know you will get rocked later. If you are a fan of SAFA Brian he is previewing the tour stages the day before. Good stuff. https://youtu.be/VqnC-OZfPWA
  18. Yea it was surprising to see Hindley up in that big group. Since it started with 30 riders maybe they didn't realize it but Wout was in the group and one clip he is clearly going to the back of the initial break to scan jerseys and rider bib numbers. Plus race radio would tell UAE who is in the group. Jonas is overall still fine with plenty of big mountain stages left in play. Tomorrow looks great. I did Aspin and Tourmalet in the same day a few years ago. Pau and surrounding mountains are heaven on earth for cycling. A few cars pulled over on the side of the road on the descent to let me pass on Aspin.
  19. I’m in the Wout Van Aert camp on that sprint finish. You can’t take that line in track cycling or sprint finishes unless you work for Legion.
  20. Would have been fun to watch Remco shake it up. Jumbo team is strong so I think Vingegaard has the edge. And his tour de suisse shows he has the legs.
  21. I'm a doctor and I don't even know how the billing works. Plus the few times I have needed and used healthcare my employer/hospital just doesn't bill insurance as a favor and dissolves the payment (technically illegal) and surgeon and anesthesiologist didn't ever bill me. It's a broken system.
  22. Looks sick for skis and mountain bikes.
  23. Try this one https://www.abercrombiekent.com/cruises They do a nice safari
  24. Once you are over there trains are cheap. As can be the beer and food. The Friday train from Prague to Vienna was like a rolling football tailgate. You can bring your own booze and lots of parties. It was like the heart of darkness walking from train car to train car to get the bar. Only to find the beer had run out.
