What does aars mean? Land is land, no? You should look up aars in Dutch, and consider the consequences of proudly speaking out your surname 🙃

Where is the "I donate 10-20 mil yearly to keep my PT team up and running" option? or the "I am loyal to my employer so I support the team I work / ride for" option? I mean, you're potentially ignoring some valuable forum members...

I really liked the European Championship for Mortals (Scaroni vs. Seixas).

I know first hand some riders weren't happy with Van Schip, but more so because they find it an unfair advantage (and it is, for sure, an advantage, whether it's unfair, see below). There are some points here I would like to separate: 1. It's ugly. I think we all agree. But that's not the...

There is no evidence it’s unsafe, as these kind of setups have been raced by van schip for years. And he has written approval from the uci so it must be that the measurements are ok (in his case he can probably get exemptions as well, with his 1.94m height). So in short, what exactly was your...

There is nothing for discs in Centaur. Anyways, many here forget Campagnolo still has excellent mechanical groupsets (disc and rim) that are, frankly, a steal when you look at weight, longevity, quality and thus also price. You e.g. have record 2x12 rim for around 1100 euro and record 2x12...

We have quite some guys with +15 wins, with Magnier (edit: now at 17!), with Del Toro at 16, having farmed all those Italian fall races, Tim Merlier at 16 with all those sprints in stage races and smaller races and ofcourse Pog.

I read somewhere it was the seatpost, and I read somewhere it was the width of the handlebars / space between the shifters. I can't really find anything wrong (as per the rules) with the seatpost, but the handlebar width will definitely be not enough as they're super narrow Toot Engineering...

Pog lost a race! He is beatable! https://www.cyclingweekly.com/news/he-didnt-manage-to-catch-me-tadej-pogacar-beaten-by-british-hill-climber-at-event-in-slovenia

The incomprehensible thing about the Gruel / Lapeira trackstand, is that they always should have talked about money, and thus always have kept the pace high. Either they both fancy their chances and agree the winner pays, or the rider that doesn’t fancy his chances (or the rider who sees the...

The two French were ashamed with all the motodrafting and gave back their unfair advantage.

Lapeira pokering / saying he had bissegger. Bissegger not doing anything but launching the sprint. Lapeira not bad but with Trentin and Laporte… not smart.

There is still an effect until at least 30 meter distance. There is also a benefit if you’re having motos / cars just behind.

I wouldn’t underestimate a rider like Lapeira and it shows. I don’t know Gruel but he’s doing a great job.

Haha, I just switched to Paris tours and see Bjerg pulling the “peloton”. You can’t escape UAE it seems!
