    Alexey Lutsenko discussion thread

    Would love to see him top 5, but i fear he cant sustian the peak as he was going to ride the tdf in the first place. But would love for him to suprise me, a good sign was that he actually got top 10 in LBL. He usually is nowhere in the monuments

    Teams & Riders Official Wout Van Aert thread

    If he is going for the GC its a mistake to also focus on the classics, seen it again and again its hard to maintain the peak from the classics and the entire giro. see evans and vino 2010 giro

    Eurosport commentary

    Tour of Turkey is not available in my native language, i tried to listen to it in English since i forgot how bad Kirby is, but Kirby is just so insufrable with no knowledge of the sport that he has been commenting on for yeeeeears and poor jokes that are not remotly funny. I just went over to...

    State of Peloton 2023

    The difference is that NOBODY in here belives Jumbo to be clean, they dont preach it as hard as sky did either, and they dont have 400 brits that get paid to defend them online, thats why there is less discussion. as people only post when its completly over the top as the vuelta or tour. no one...

    I bet you belive doping tests are used catch cheaters instead of just being burried and covered up.

    Teams & Riders Everybody needs a little bit of Roglstomp in their lives

    lol, talk about actions not matching words, Vingegaard has been mega agressive and is carving out time whenever he can on Kuss, he wants this Vuelta and you would be naive to think otherwise, all three of them want to win and will do whatever they can to get it.

    Motor doping thread

    They check with an ipad that does NOTHING. they have no interest in it ever being found, only way it happens is if a thrid party raids the hotel and destroys the bikes. They let it run lose with CSC and Breschel and Cancellara, then later team wide with Sky. so now there is no stopping it, thats...

    Sepp Kuss... The 3 GT monster

    I honestly dont know why some of you guys find motor doping/magnetic wheels so hard to belive. lol yeah suuuure, UCI will find it with their magic ipad cameras. lets not forget that the UCI denied the french officials to search team skys bikes in 2015 tour time trial. They have no interest in...

    Vuelta a España Vuelta a España 2023, stage 13: Formigal - Col du Tourmalet, 134.7k

    Yes, bet he will phone home to his wife as usual and complain about kuss, vingo is out for blood. my fear is that kuss is to nice to get the GC, he will have to burn bridges here with his team chasing down vingo over the next days, this is his only gc chance to be honest
