@CyclingWerewolf Giro, Hungary and Luxembourg really not on a good run atm

❌ Not neutralising GC when it makes sense: Hungary ✅ Neutralising GC when it makes absolutely no sense: Luxembourg Never change, cycling 👍🏽

They conveniently forgot to mention that they had already ridden the loop 3 times, so they definitely knew which way to go 🧊🧊 #TheDisgraceOfSteinfort #FreeMatsWenzel

@tdfth5 @Tratnikstan Yup... But I don't think it was a serious q

@Tratnikstan @InsideOut2912 Catalunya 2 months ago mate

If Felix Gall keeps climbing like this, I don't see how anyone can beat him for 2nd place. With this form he doesn't lose more than 1:30 to Pellizzari in the ITT (probably not more than 2:30 from Jonas)

DRAMA AT TOUR DE HONGRIE AND FLECHE DU SUD 😳 We had of course the Giro today, but what a drama it was at other races… I will start with the Tour de Hongrie. Jakob Söderqvist from LIDL-Trek was in the breakaway, it was still 26 km to go, but suddenly the organizers decided that, because of the rain, riders would do no more laps and that was the final lap. So suddenly it was not 26 km to go, but 4 km to go. UAE had calculated that the breakaway would be brought back and that Cosnefroy would move into the overall lead, but suddenly everything changed. What added even more drama was that the organisers didn’t neutralise the GC standings. Instead, they kept the times from the revised finish line, meaning Söderqvist now leads the GC by 40 seconds with just one flat stage remaining. UAE and Cosnefroy were clearly frustrated and disappointed by the decision. And at the Luxembourg race Fleche du Sud, Visma went the wrong way in the final sprint but were still given the same time as the stage winner. At first, they lost the GC lead, but the jury later reversed the decision. Since it was a circuit finish, the riders had already crossed the line three times earlier in the race. Visma’s DSs then went to the jury to argue their case and apply pressure. What a day and to be honest I don’t agree with any of those decisions.

@Le_Beau_Velo But listen, you’re witnessing the golden era of cycling 💀

@CyclingWerewolf Cycling eh 😅

@InsideOut2912 I think I start to have some idea about this sport and then something like this happens… 😳

No idea whether there was actually a signalling error in the final kms, but imo it doesn’t really change much since it was a loop circuit and they’d already ridden the same section 3 times, so by that point they must’ve known the route pretty well🤷🏻‍♂️ Really gutted for Wenzel 💔

@finanskamelen They literally did that

@InsideOut2912 Let visma win sud development race. I picture their DS running over in a developement race their bring their WT team and plea the jury to take the time earlier simply cause they rode wrong. Gotte be a new low even for visma after they become as mid as they have. Funny af🤣

FREE MATS WENZEL 🇱🇺

@JoelvD10L 😭😭😭 they are looking who has the worst org

@InsideOut2912 Where’s that spider man meme? I want Giro, Hungary and Sud to all be looking and pointing at each other

Big thanks as always to @DucalSports for the great coverage of Luxembourgish cycling 🫶🏽

The reality is unfortunately that Visma probably won’t come back to such a small race if different decisions are made. WT teams have that kind of influence in smaller races. 🤷🏻‍♂️

@Simon672491 @SteinhauerRikke @DucalSports Yeah, for us in Lux it has been amazing to have Brennan here

@SteinhauerRikke @InsideOut2912 @DucalSports Not the organizers

Visma really robbed Mats Wenzel of the GC 💀

@nahuellondeix They rode the route 3 times before mate

@InsideOut2912 I would wait for more context about how it happend before jumping into conclusions. Probably there was a organization mistake on signaling the route.
