I don’t have anything profound to say so I’ll pass along something that’s circulating on other platforms: “everyone get kinder and gaudier now” — various (twitter, tumblr, instagram, threads, etc.)

thesis: the Visma curse may have been transferred to UAE. side note Wout van Aert remains the most reliable UAE pest control service in pro men’s cycling.

sigh. I know it’s just bike racing and shit happens, and I know it’s immature as hell but I have a deep desire right now to give Kevin Vauquelin a massive wedgie and shove him into a locker.

sometimes it seems like pellizzari and del toro share one single braincell between them and it’s dependent on the day as to which one has it :/

I can gleefully hatewatch UAE’s hapless fumbling and still hold compassion for Wellens and that poor domestique in the KBK heli shot getting a right shouting at by the UAE team car all while their leader was at the bottom of a ditch and they had 0 sprinters left at the front like wtf man

throwing shade at AJ August for winning a flat sprint against classics riders with 10 years more experience and 15 kg more muscle only after it was obvious Ben Turner wouldn’t catch is why I claim most cycling fans have got the brainworms or they hate americans which, yea fair just say that

I went and battled the wind today for dumb reasons but came back with some photos for my troubles. @billylezard.bsky.social it’s not a bridge but it is a fun photo spot

a blue Tarmac road bike parked up on the Fox Park dirt jumps entrance in Gunbarrel, Colorado. The handmade sign behind it reads: “Respect the trails. Wear a helmet. Do not ride when wet. Dig to ride. Background features the dirt jump park and bits of Gunbarrel.

for anyone who cares: I can confirm that SRAM E1 brakes function far better in shitty conditions than the Red22 / prior generation and also don’t howl constantly when wet. Theyll make a bit of noise at first in the rain but tbf all bicycle discs do regardless of platform / type.

guys I am worried about this final km for Vuelta Stage 3 I am not gonna lie… doesn’t really get steep either (5% ish) so those guys will be flying. last corner is at 100m, and that uturn at 650m gives me the heebie-jeebies. streets are narrow.

just a quick interlude to remind everyone of how good this man looks in Carrefour red. #gckuss 🐝

Sepp Kuss in the 2023 Vuelta in the red leader’s jersey with a custom red Cervelo and the team’s highlights of red, pink and yellow bands on the bike fork and shorts hem.

no matter what gets said about Sepp’s win or the team dynamic that got him there, he looks amazing in this color.

One way I've changed over the years is accepting however folks ride bikes. I don't care what you wear when you ride. I don't care if you slam your stem. I don't care if you use a mirror. I don't care about caps vs hats. I don't care if you ride an e-bike. As long as you're not a jerk, I don't care.

Got some MAAP kit on sale and have to say that the women’s bibs are insanely comfortable and the aprons are the best design I’ve worn probably ever the long sleeve summer mesh jersey in Jayco violet without team logos is also extremely good. hate how expensive the stuff is generally but imo worth

@zoeface44.bsky.social, @coldutourmalet.me and all you 🐝s I went for a cruise on behalf of poor Remco and brought you some bridge photos @katie13.bsky.social I ordered some of those aero gripgrap gloves, they’re very comfortable unfortunately they only come in white or black.

one of the hottest hardest races I’ve done in ages is complete. 50k, top-20 overall out of 127 ladies who started and did 50k in just a tick over 2 hours. husband absolutely smashed the 120k course and finished 15th overall.

*dons tinfoil hat* a) is Pogi’s result today a random fluke, reasonable form dip pre-TDF, an actual concern or just playing coy? b) is Visma too eager to throw hands early and risking being overcooked in July? past performance sorta contraindicates 4th dimensional chess by UAE but ya never know

lonefrontranger @lonefrontranger.bsky.social · 10/06/2025

watching back the last 3k of Dauphine S2 you can literally see the instant Pogi saw the sprinters go into full murderball swervo mode, said to himself “fuck this shit entirely” and dropped thru the field into safe zone.
