Just came home and couldn’t believe my eyes seeing today’s results on PCS. Absolutely incredible. Strong startlist and Bardiani with an 1-2 with over one minute ahead. Almost a sensation… Now they will want to to win the GC…

Yeah, RAGT had a hard time, and actually only was there for joining the breakaways in the flatter stages. I remember in 1998, BigMat-Auber were allowed to ride the Tour, and they apparently were the only ones who still rode on steel frames… :)

Yeah, after almost 27 years of following pro cycling closely, I every now and then could feel at least a little bit mentally challenged… ;) Festina and Fuentes cases took their tolls… :) But most of all, that‘s a sport of diversity, and I very much enjoy the diversity, here in the forums, also…...

Ah, ok, thanks… :) Sounds realistic, and reasonable… :)

In recent times, I more and more take pleasure in watching the „underdogs“ achieving amazing things. Every race won by Visma, UAE or Soudal-QS, that cannot be everything. I know Novo Nordisk would have a hard time at the Tour, but could bring a few riders to Paris… Plus, create awareness for...

Ah, thanks a lot :) That explains it well… :)

Though I understand the reasons, I actually dislike that wildcard invitations for the Grand Tours is quite „boring“. I would for example like to see Bardiani at the Tour or Vuelta, at least once, or Corratec at the Tour, or TDT or Novo Nordisk at the Tour. I hope that comes real, one day. And...

Just read the PCS live ticker on the Ocean Race… Most unbelieveable fact: PCS writes, „552 out of 1403 players in the PCS game picked PITHIE Laurence as the winner today.“ Can this be true? I mean, he was one of maybe 10 to 15 favorites… But more than 33% of the players predicted a Pithie...

GP Marseillaise today… Great race, every year. Sadly, the stars mostly avoid this race, and the Etoile de Besseges, few days after. The stars seem to think, GP Marseillaise and Besseges are „uncool“, or something like that. I actually like these races, plus Province and Haut-Var. And...

Next is Cadel Evans Ocean race… I hope for a victory by Girmay, but I imagine it could become the first pro victory for Astana‘s Max Kanter. He‘s had so many Top-10s, and his first victory at the Elite Men should happen soon, now. Also this Ocean race is a race for Germans, who win here...

Today will be good… Trofeo Anthrax (ehm, Andratx :) ) always delivers… Maybe the best of this week‘s five Mallorcan races…

Exactly. The thing is also, I‘m surprised that Legeay (Credit Agricole, and MPCC) and Bernaudeau (Total Energies) at their respective times scold(ed) about cortisone TUEs (2000ers) and ketones (2020ers), respectively. The supplements and other stuff (pills, syringes, …) that really make the...

One of the greatest photos I have ever seen, in my life… :) That’s what makes life worth living: you think you had seen everything - and suddenly, you see something that can impossibly be described by words… Just sooo good… ;)

Of course happy for van Eetvelt and his team. They are always only the underdogs, so I’m always happy when they win anything. I hope van Eetvelt and de Lie each will win them 10 races, this year.

Yeah, that sums it up pretty perfectly. First of all, I‘ve always been a big fan of him. In his Sky days, with this jersey and all, he looked super, super nice on his bike. Pleasure to watch (him climb). I also, when going through result lists in recent times, like 2023, was some kind of...
