    The Mou is the One and Only Phropet Thread

    So I didn't check how much his position actually changed but even if it did, so what? Essentially Mou either knows someone from the UAE team as he claims, or he is a celebrity stalker who spends endless hours on the internet looking at anything Pogacar related. In both cases I find it very...

    Teams & Riders Tadej Pogačar discussion thread

    One thing I was thinking is that Pogacar might have more of an eye on the Vuelta than Vingegaard which would explain why you would come to the Dauphine a little undercooked. Froome is a good example of a rider whose performances at the Dauphine became progressively less impressive the more focus...

    The Mou is the One and Only Phropet Thread

    Days like today prove that Mou is simply a guy who went into last year with the attitude, "I'm gonna bet the over on Pogacar every single race", and during a historically great season that will make you look very smart. I bet a bunch of Ronaldo fanboys predicted Portugal to win the 2016 Euros...

    Tour de France 2025 route rumours and announcements

    Does anyone know if it's possible to find the official profiles of the most important climbs? Usually they can be found on the official website if you go to the stage and click on "mountain passes and hills" but this year they don't seem to be there

    Critérium du Dauphiné 2025, June 8 - 15

    Tbh I'm not unhappy about the helmet. Makes him much easier to spot.

    The real Tennis thread.

    I agree in general but yesterday I really needed the match to finish. My relationship was saved by the introduction of the 5th set match tiebreak!

    The real Tennis thread.

    What a *** match. My partner was so annoyed after I said the game was gonna be over in a few moments and then I kept being glued to the TV for another two hours.

    Teams & Riders The Remco Evenepoel is the next Eddy Merckx thread

    It's so funny to me that a team with all the cycling experience and resources one could dream of can come to that conclusion. I guess there was a reasonable likelihood of this stage ending in a bunch sprint but everyone knew that Pogacar & Co. would go over that final hill in the top 5 positions...

    Vingegaard vs Pogačar - The Duel

    For the love of god please just let these two get through all the flat stages of the Dauphine and the Tour without crashing. This stage already got me so hyped for this battle.

    Tour de France 2025 route rumours and announcements

    I think MvdP being this good today is lowkey huge for the first week of the Tour. The fact that there is a guy who absolutely will attack on all those hills and at a level where he might drop one of the big gc guys, means that even if Pogacar, Vingegaard, Evenepoel aren't even trying too hard...

    When will Tadej get #100?

    Yeah he could absolutely get there this Dauphine. I think the odds will be slightly against him because I think he's unlikely to win the TT or all 3 of the mountain stages, but neither of those things would be shocking either.

    Critérium du Dauphiné 2025, June 8 - 15

    If this was at all representative for how these four are gonna ride hilly finales in the Tour, the first week of the TdF is gonna be incredible.

    Teams & Riders Chris Froome Discussion Thread.

    Yeah, I feel like this drastically reduces his chances to be a contender at the Tour...

    Giro d'Italia Giro d’Italia 2025: Post-Race Rating Poll

    I'm pretty sure that if you were a Froome fan instead of a Nibali fan you would have 2016 and 2018 in the reverse order. With all the talk about the 2011 TdF, the 2016 Giro was the true Italian equivalent, where nothing happened before stage 14 but the race afterwards was unbelievable. 2018 was...

    Vingegaard vs Pogačar - The Duel

    Pogacar saying "*** you" in that moment is such a nothingburger. How are people making a big thing out of this? The next headline will be him looking at Jonas menacingly. Then he will have finally pushed it too far.
