That one was ugly, but I liked it because it kept making it look like Pogacar might have shit himself

They’re averaging 4.6 yards per point right now (and that numbers about to go down)

Just looked up their startlist from 2023 and apparently sending an absolute dogshit team to Romandie is Visma heritage

I had a week last year where, largely by accident, I ended up rewatching Top Secret!, Top Gun, and Heat in a row. He was so good in everything.

Pretty sure Tarling is with Ganna in G2 per the HLN ticker

Matthew Brennan with an absolutely demonic finish. Most impressive final few kms of racing I’ve seen this year.

Labous did either the worst attack or worst leadout of all time while Demi was buried in the group with like 1k left on the Poggio, and there were moments from multiple other teams/riders that were arguably more damaging than that

Atticus Crow @atticusccrow.bsky.social · 16/03/2025

All 6 of my riders in velogames were in that group, I’m so mad

Best sport in the world (women’s cycling) putting out fireworks right now live on YouTube www.youtube.com/live/_qdvVB3...

First time doing Velogames for TDU went fine (different final team than I initially posted). This is the lineup I’m going with for Alula Tour. Not sold on Brustenga. But it’s a shallow race, and I needed another sprinter.

Atticus Crow @atticusccrow.bsky.social · 20/01/2025

Also I’m trying out velogames for the first time and not taking it very seriously. Considering dropping some combo of Onley/Torres/Herrada to fit in Narváez and someone from Israel.

Atticus Crow @atticusccrow.bsky.social · 20/01/2025

Men’s world tour starts today with the Tour Down Under! Unfortunately kind of expect UAE and maybe Israel (these are sportswashed trade teams not countries, lol) to roll everyone. But hopefully there’s fun stuff from Plapp and hyped young guys like Withen Philipsen, Brennan, Gloag, Torres, etc.

Merab/Umar already as good as any fight there was in MMA last year

A lot of dumb stuff here, but BW being different between men and women is just baffling to me

Just found a highlight reel from an old Volk fight where he triangles a guy

Atticus Crow @atticusccrow.bsky.social · 01/01/2025

It’s also nice to watch a sport where the average athlete seems like a nice, normal person (this is mainly in contrast with MMA)

Atticus Crow @atticusccrow.bsky.social · 01/01/2025

In 2025, I’m probably going to post a lot more about pro cycling. I loved getting really into it last year. And I think I enjoyed watching it more than I enjoyed any other sport last year. It rules.

Atticus Crow @atticusccrow.bsky.social · 29/12/2024

He set the career D1 passing touchdown record, got a couple after that, then sat the second half while his backup went 5/13 for 26 yards in a one score game (the camera kept cutting to him on the sidelines too)

Do not get how people like La Croix. It’s like drinking cheap perfume water.

Atticus Crow @atticusccrow.bsky.social · 08/12/2024

This might be hard for newer fans to understand, but Kron is actually following a long and storied Gracie family tradition of being awful at MMA

Atticus Crow @atticusccrow.bsky.social · 08/12/2024

Landwehr got worked that round (though he started to figure out how to work his way in a little better by the end), but he also got hurt by the first punch Choi threw so hard to read too much into it IMO. I’ll be interested to see how he comes out in the 2nd.

Atticus Crow @atticusccrow.bsky.social · 08/12/2024

It was basically just an incredibly shitty, condensed version of Weidman/Rockhold

Atticus Crow @atticusccrow.bsky.social · 07/12/2024

Guida is so washed that he’s a blank canvas on the feet at this point in his career, but Hooper’s striking does genuinely look better if disjointed. He was doubling up on the lead hand and kicking off his punches at points. Also insane transitions on the ground like always (and some good GNP).

IMPORTANT LIFE UPDATE: watching Bloodsport

Atticus Crow @atticusccrow.bsky.social · 05/12/2024

Fight was just as good as I remembered (I hadn’t watched it in a few years). Disagree with the decision, but I can see how someone would favor Cruz even if I pretty strongly disagree. 49-46 Cruz is atrocious, though.

000

Atticus Crow @atticusccrow.bsky.social · 05/12/2024

Cool hyper small-guy exchange from Cruz Benavidez 2. Benavidez jabs into a single leg attempt then keeps the momentum going and pushes Cruz to the fence where he throws a jumping head kick.

Atticus Crow @atticusccrow.bsky.social · 05/12/2024

Getting mad about MMA reddit is the dumbest thing a person can do, but I just saw a thread full of people saying Pantoja (who I like!) is greater than Joseph Benavidez and I’m losing my mind

About to have a Rocky Balboa moment (running but it’s cold outside)

Atticus Crow @atticusccrow.bsky.social · 01/12/2024

Kind of a big question: I know HW kickboxing especially has declined/been in decline for a while. What led to this decline? (I’d also like any good sources to read about why heavier weight classes moved from K1 to Glory in the early 2010s if they exist, I’ve found some stuff but it lacks detail)

Atticus Crow @atticusccrow.bsky.social · 30/11/2024

Gave one of his seats to another big guy who was getting cramped somewhere and edited Instagram videos on a tiny laptop for the whole flight.

010

Atticus Crow @atticusccrow.bsky.social · 30/11/2024

I didn’t because I don’t really follow BJJ/I was 9 when he was in MMA, and I’ve always been self conscious when it comes to approaching people like that. But he seemed like a nice guy.

110

Atticus Crow @atticusccrow.bsky.social · 30/11/2024

Not quite the same, but reminds me that I sat behind Andre Galvao on a flight from San Diego to DC, and he might be the widest human being I’ve ever seen. He bought three seats and filled two of them.

Just logged into fight pass for the first time on my TV, and I was watching some bangers earlier this year

000

Atticus Crow @atticusccrow.bsky.social · 23/11/2024

A final element of this fight is that both guys are historically inconsistent from fight-to-fight and clearly post prime. So, either one could come in looking worse than they ever have leading to a blowout, and it would tell us almost nothing about either of them. But tentatively picking Fig.

000

Atticus Crow @atticusccrow.bsky.social · 23/11/2024

I’ve always been lower on Yan than others, and I might be underestimating him again. But he lacks strategic planning and discipline. I think he could pay for that here against a guy who’s technically and physically inferior but who has a more coherent system and approach to winning fights.

100

Atticus Crow @atticusccrow.bsky.social · 23/11/2024

I’m interested in how Yan will do trying to up the pace if Fig is content to sit and counter with big single shots without engaging in clinch or longer striking exchanges. Yan is hittable, and he’s dropped low-output rounds standing to worse, slower, much less dangerous strikers.

100

Atticus Crow @atticusccrow.bsky.social · 23/11/2024

Yan/Fig prediction thread: Yan should win if Fig accepts a high pace fight. Yan is at his best when his opponent comes forward and initiates, but he struggles to push the fight, especially early. Yan may give Fig the more negative fight that he wants, and in a slower situation I favor Fig.

It snowed a bit during La Flèche Wallonne earlier this year (didn’t really stick), but cyclists are so skinny and the warming clothing is so lightweight that some riders ended up with hypothermia. There was also some massive hail in the Dauphine a few years ago that messed some guys up.
