Consonni definitely not in the TdfF team Has Kasia gone blonde ? View: https://x.com/WMNcycling/status/1946165634909270324

I dont know if it was the camera angle but in real time it so looked the reverse, I was surprised by that result.

You are but its happened before in men & women's races and lots of people spend alot of time trying to justify it's ok not to stop or even attack. It's not for me, and I'd far rather it wasn't praise worthy detail, just something riders naturally did, but its the world we live in unfortunately

The thing for me is that changes the approach towards the Pog crash because its like yeah they all know using a pee break is bad form, happens all the time in the women's peloton btw, but then there's like a chance to show how sporting they are and they take it and the pee break thing got...

it just doesnt feel like ideal prep to me, the TdFF is the biggest race of the season for the teams, Picnic are looking for stage wins, why would you push your riders through a 6 stage race, and then go here have just 6 days off before the biggest race of your season and oh btw the stages we...

Demi posting on Instagram, "guess the men are a bit more kind:tongueclosed:" on Tadejs crash today.

Im just happy she actually got to wear national stripes for the TT, as it really sounded after nationals that she had no races planned for the next year where she probably could. are Kool/Consonni not doing TdFF then ?

Fwiw I'm glad they waited, or if they had attacked at least having the guts to admit they did it. I'm still bitter about certain riders attacking in those situations and then pretending they didn't know.

It's amazing what pain adrenaline can mask in those moments, let's wait for the team doctors assessment first

It's not so much the routes or the gaps in time at the moment it's the tactics of Vingegaard basically marking Pog as his shadow all the time, not losing time but not attacking, when you'd think the point would be you've got to attack Pog to beat him somehow, you aren't going to win the tour by...

IIRC they hosted a round of the Tour Series crit races in 2013 in Ipswich, and Sweetspots approach back then, with lots of suitors bidding, meant you couldn't double up with a Tour Series and ToB in the same year around the same county areas. Though it's quite funny how often they do come to...

Suffolk to host the opening stages of the Mens Tour of Britain https://www.britishcycling.org.uk/tourofbritain/article/20250714-tour-of-britain-Suffolk-to-host-opening-stages-of-the-Lloyds-Tour-of-Britain-Men-0

yep and this has all the feels of 2023, the same shadowing of Pog who looks assured still, the same the UAE team arent up to the level Visma are and we get another JV stage 16 and spend the next year wondering where the hell that came from, it feels like theyre using the same playbook.

Like literally everyone was predicting that though given the race situation, does he just like being contrary for the sake of it ? Was it Saturday where he basically violently agreed with exactly what Robbie was saying but started off saying youre totally wrong and then actually just repeating...

Well it does to me, because Bastille Day is a public holiday, so its a 3 day weekend in France this year, in previous tours ime theyve always put the big GC affecting stages, usually mountains, on the day before the rest day, thats usually been a Sunday, because it gets the biggest tv audiences...
