Worst GT I ever watched - although in fact I barely did watch, because it was so unbearingly dull. Uninspired racing, terrible route, the whole ugliness of it all. I can't remember ever voting any GT below 5/10, but here I'm fully going for the 1/10. Cycling at its ugliest. And a really bad...

Never thought/hoped I would run into a W.G. Sebald mention in this forum, but here we go. Fantastic author.

How often do you want to repeat this joke?

Lipowitz is pure madness. I love it!

Yes, because Milan should get DSQed: View: https://x.com/PutzeysRobbe/status/1904929744186908711

Lukas Kubis re-signs with Tietema until 2027. That’s quite a surprise. View: https://x.com/rockets_cycling/status/1904201867988525088?s=61&t=SUDYh_KkxMt-74Dr8G2Qzg

Brazilian cycling legend Nilceu Aparecido Santos won the UCI 1.2 one day race Copa America de Ciclismo four times in a row 2005-2008, always held between 6 January and 9 January, and back then always the first UCI one day race of the year.

For the third year in a row it's an absolute mystery to me why Heidemann didn't get a contract on at least ProTeam level. Such a versatile, always reliable rider. Great TTing, decent climbing - he would be a great workhorse for any pro team with the option of netting some results for himself as...

Some obvious race names were already mentioned, some more that were for one reason or another dear to me: Setmana Catalana Driedaagse van De Panne Euskal Bizikleta Classique des Alpes Philadelphia Classic / First Union Classic / USPRO Championship Sachsen-Tour Thüringen-Rundfahrt U23 Giro...

Carstensen rides for Storck-Metropol in 2025, so Quick indeed would be his replacement.

Can we please have two separate threads? I find this utterly confusing to have two totally separate races discussed in one thread.

Yeah, that's what directvelo and German media report. But there's also Crescioli saying this was all tactical game. In the end the smarter rider won, the stronger rider lost. It will be a lesson for both.

Fantastic work by TBV there. Bauhaus finished it off nicely.

"22" simply refers to the number of the départment, which in the case of Côtes d'Armor is 22. A lot of French départments are (co-) financing local amateur squads, and that's why there are a lot of French amateur squads that refer to their départment's number in their name, and even one pro...
