Had wel een Cycling Race Value Detector prompt ontwikkeld (in Claude), dus mocht je die willen kan ik 'm altijd sturen

Uitstekend idee. Ik ben technisch niet voldoende onderlegd om dat allemaal te begrijpen, maar het lijkt me zéker wel mogelijkheden te bieden

Een van de beste bronnen is en blijft www.la-flamme-rouge.eu .. Daarnaast is er ook natuurlijk Strava, waarop je alle ritten van de TdF kan vinden met hun profielen. Maar ik zou starten met La Flamme Rouge. Claude vind ik overigens ook zeer indrukwekkend. Heb er laatst wat mee zitten experimenteren

Vlad van Mechelen is clearly getting closer to his top form in the Tour de Région Wallonne. I'm still expecting him to grab his first pro victory this year.

Bazarda Cycling 🦋 @bazardacycling.bsky.social · 29/07/2025
I'm quite convinced that's incorrect. He was primarily disliked because of his "big-mouthing" and his 'manners', not so much for any of the reasons you’ve mentioned.

Bazarda Cycling 🦋 @bazardacycling.bsky.social · 29/07/2025
Exactly. How does the fact that most of the audience in Paris is white have anything to do with the claim that the general cycling fanbase is "right-wing"? What kind of reasoning is that?

With Nys out of the picture, I’m hoping for a more open race in Durbuy today. Last year, Uno-X executed a textbook strategy to set up Waerenskjold perfectly. I’d love to see Ineos and UAE light up the race this time, but if I had to bet, I’d say Movistar might come out on top tonight, as in 2024.

Pretty sure he found some extra watts in the finale today and was able to dig even deeper than usual because of Gino.

Yeah, disappointing 😞. Talked to him briefly after the race. He was gutted, too, as a Top 10 was a certainty.

Fatigue might indeed become an issue, as in an ideal scenario, he should gain some time bonus today as well.
010
Bazarda Cycling 🦋 @bazardacycling.bsky.social · 06/06/2025
I saw that. A bit too optimistic I reckon. I'd say maybe 10% chance rather ?
000
Bazarda Cycling 🦋 @bazardacycling.bsky.social · 06/06/2025
He might have half a minute of bonus, but I reckon he'll lose somewhere in between 30 seconds and a minute on the climb. That said, I do think he's a better climber than most people believe—especially in a situation like this.

Christen mentioned that Oliveira made contact with him, which is certainly possible, though it's not entirely clear from the footage. The examples in the chart are interesting—though they seem to be a bit more impactful than what we witnessed today, in my opinion.

The rule is highly open to interpretation, mainly because of how the 'AND' is phrased. There's no clear logic: does it mean deviation is only punishable if it also endangers others? Or is any deviation automatically considered dangerous?
100
Bazarda Cycling 🦋 @bazardacycling.bsky.social · 05/06/2025
In my opinion, another relevant consideration for the jury is whether the maneuver directly caused the other rider to lose the sprint (even if it's not in the rules as such). I also believe Christen was no longer in a position to win, which is also reflected in his reaction.
100
Bazarda Cycling 🦋 @bazardacycling.bsky.social · 05/06/2025
But in reality, almost every rider deviates slightly in a sprint, and it rarely leads to a review. The key question is: was he actually endangering others? The jury must have thought so, but I think that's a very hard case to make, based on the accepted boundaries within contemporary cycling.
100
Bazarda Cycling 🦋 @bazardacycling.bsky.social · 05/06/2025
I tend to disagree with that line of reasoning, as I believe he did not transgress the (un)written rules of what is acceptable in contemporary cycling. Whilst he may have given a reason for a review, there was absolutely no justification for a DSQ, in my opinion — based on praxis.
210
Bazarda Cycling 🦋 @bazardacycling.bsky.social · 05/06/2025
And to add to that, it's not consistent with what we've seen over the past year. If actions like that aren't allowed, then quite a few more relegations should have happened this season.

Bazarda Cycling 🦋 @bazardacycling.bsky.social · 05/06/2025
In my humble opinion, it's wrong to relegate Costa. Even if there was a bit of maneuvering, it’s not like he completely shut the door. There was still plenty of space for Christen to make his move, but it seems to me his legs were gone

The Ranking for ProTeams shows it is very tight for Wildcards positions for 2026 and also the battle for top 30 is close between several teams.
