@Domestique___ And then when it doesn't work, it will be "he spent too much energy in the Giro". Always excuses to avoid facing reality.

🇩🇰 Jonas Vingegaard's level improves slightly in a second Grand Tour of the year, according to 🇳🇱 Visma's 🇳🇱 Marc Reef 🗣️ "Last year, when Jonas did the Tour and the Vuelta, we saw that his level was improving slightly in the second Grand Tour, so that was an extra reason to go for it this year." 📰 domestiquecycling.com/en/news/hes-st… 📸 Cor Vos

@OrlandoMagic My favourite part is watching teammates squirm on the bench trying to pretend they haven't seen the violence meted out on their guy.

@lucasaganronald I think it's more about the history and reputation of cycling. Having awarded Armstrong in the past, the org just won't trust any other cyclist with that award. They will only nominate to show they aren't biased, but will ultimately award tennis, soccer, golf, & motorsport stars.

OFFICIAL: Carlos Alcaraz has beaten Tadej Pogačar at the Laureus Sportsman of the Year 2025 award. 🥲 But for me in the end, it’s not even that surprising. If I talk to people outside cycling, especially those who only follow bigger sports like football, most don’t even know who Tadej Pogačar is. A pretty clear example is that I follow about 460 people on Instagram, and only five of them follow him there and even those are just friends who ride gravel, one MotoGP rider, and the Finnish president. For someone so dominant, he just never seems to break out of the cycling bubble. Whether it’s the sport itself or that he is not extremely active on social media, he rarely reaches a wider audience.

@ShamsCharania So if he thought that the first time, why'd they intentionally foul him again on the next possession?

NBA statement: "The NBA has completed an investigation of the Sacramento Kings and Head Coach Doug Christie's decision to foul intentionally late in the team's game against the Golden State Warriors on April 7. The league's investigation determined that Christie mistakenly believed that the Warriors were not in the penalty and therefore instructed his team to foul in an attempt to stop the clock and utilize one of the team's remaining timeouts. The investigation found that Christie made no intentional effort to give the Warriors a shooting foul, or to cause the Kings to lose the game."

@CJVogel_OTF Watched this live and couldn't believe the commentator could be so biased.

This is hilarious. OKC announcer: “Are you kidding me… He didn’t even get hit in the face! Take a look at this folks, I gotta show it to ya.” **replay shows Dort elbowing Jokic in the face** — silence —

@LosBrolin The same people complaining about Pog and hyping up Seixas will be the same ones crying when Pog retires and Seixas begins his reign.

If anything, I’m 100% convinced Seixas is stronger than Pogi was at the same age. Whether that’s good or bad for the future, time will tell. #StradeBianche

@lucasaganronald It's pretty simple. One is that the history of cycling is stacked against any modern great. Special performers are always gonna attract skeptics. Two is the country of origin. If he was British or French or American, he'd definitely have greater recognition or acclaim.

Why is Tadej Pogačar constantly not winning the award for the best sportsman in the world despite being the one? This might be a little controversial topic or what I say to it, but people are questioning it why is it like that, so here is what I think. The biggest answer to that is that Tadej Pogačar does very little, or maybe even nothing, to escape the cycling bubble. He totally dominates in races like Flanders and the Tour de France, which is crazy. But what do other people who are just following cycling see very little of? In their eyes, he just wins races and that’s all. They don’t understand how extraordinary and how good in the history of cycling what he does is. But mainly what do people who are not watching cycling at all notice about Pogi? Basically nothing, they don’t even know he exists. And there is the "problem" why he is not winning these awards. He doesn’t make some crazy statements, he does not do some crazy reels or TikToks, he don’t have a YouTube channel, he does not post anything extraordinary for people outside of cycling on Instagram, he does not do that social media influencing, or mainly what I think the reason is that he does not speak about some topics outside of cycling that would get into every media not only the sports one. Like yesterday when UAE wished Merry Christmas while some European countries didn’t mention it or just wished happy holidays. Pogi could’ve said something to get to the not only sports media with that, but he didn’t. BUT it is absolutely okay in my view. Firstly if he were to do something like that, it wouldn’t be the same person, the same Pogi and secondly, the title of the best sportsman of the year and that trophy would feel nice, but it is absolutely not that important for him to trade for the much bigger fame he would get with doing something like that. I feel like for his ideal world he is already more famous than he would like to be. And the second reason is that cycling as a sport is also not able to break the bubble. I constantly feel like people don’t get how hard cycling as a sport is, how crazy it is to ride 200 km in a day and they do this for 21 days straight etc. We had that Netflix show yeah, but it is not enough. So here are the reasons that I see, but you can let me know your opinion on all of that in the comments down below. Thanks for reading. 📷: jbautissier

@KenyaKahigi @nixonkelly553 @georgediano Definitely hard to understand the full speech without the context. But for this clip, he says "People who claim that must try a bit more. Even though I live with Bukusus, don't I still speak Tiriki? So young guys who've recently come to Nairobi pretend not to be able to speak..."

@nixonkelly553 @georgediano Translation?

Mercedes lovers & users knows that the Body and Chassis of this older version of E-Class was impressively fortified by its maker. Properly hardened and stabilised. Jirongo was driving a very good car, ni ngumu ikupeleka Sayuni. Nikama hiyo basi ilikua imeachilia freno.

@MarcEdition Suzuka is so special, even in video games

@lucasaganronald The dark history/reputation of cycling directly works against him. The selectors are more likely to trust the results of a Motorsport rider/driver, golfer, or tennis player than that of a cyclist, even one as generational as him. It's just how it is.

This guy won the Tour de France, became the World Champ, first rider ever to do back-to-back double, podiumed every single monument so far… still not enough for the Laureus Sportsman of the year 2025 award. Last Olympic year it went to Duplantis, this year it should finally go to Pogačar in my opinion. What do you think? 📷: Filip Bezděk #Kigali2025

@laflammerouge16 I think the Euro race was a backup if he didn't win the world title. But now that he's back in rainbow, most likely he will gear up for Lombardia next.

Pogacar second debut with the World Champion jersey will be the next Sunday in European Championships. Jonas Vingegaard will be there #Kigali2025

@lucasaganronald Visma DSs are fools to buy these delusional arguments every year.

Context: Jonas Vingegaard: “When I was not having a bad day at the Tour, he couldn't ride away from me, so I feel I've closed the gap to him from last year.”

@diomuarr John Snow

@TheTennisLetter 'Celebrated' winning Wimbledon like it was a mere qualifier

Elena Rybakina’s reaction after coming back from 1-4 in the 2nd set tiebreak against Jaqueline Cristian in Montreal. She’s got that business-mode look in her eyes. Ice in her veins. ❄️ 🇰🇿🩵

@giroditalia Probably the best celebration in pro cycling

First comes the feeling. Then comes the frame 📸 . Prima arriva l’emozione. Poi arriva lo scatto 📸 #GirodItalia

@RobertSkvarla Tbh, it wouldn't have mattered.

It's amazing that we have video of Epstein pleading the fifth on him and Trump socializing "in the presence of females under the age of 18" and it was never used during the 2016, 2020, or 2024 elections

@itvcycling Obviously the interviewers are sparking drama and controversy with their gotcha/clickbait questions. This one quickly moved on when the rider didn't respond as he expected.

"I'd do the same if I was in Tadej's shoes, winning as much as I could, as often as I could" Daniel asked Neilson Powless whether Tadej Pogačar wins too much 🇺🇸 #TDF2025

@lucasaganronald @javajane Getting passed on the time trial broke him. For all his dominance and pride in the discipline, for him to be overtaken with a 2 minute headstart (despite being an uphill TT) was too much of a mental hurdle to overcome.

Why Remco abandoned, info by @javajane and Steve Porino Remco‘s DS‘s are saying that because of his December 2024 crash he missed a lot of his winter training which is the base for him staying consistent through the race season and unfortunately without that base his performance has fluctuated too much this race season and he just doesn’t have the fitness. #TDF2025 📷: maxpetitphoto

@hradzka False. The TMZ footage clearly shows she had her own partner standing to her right

I’m just gonna say what we’re all thinking: there’s only one reason a CEO and an HR honcho who are having an affair take their attractive younger new hire to a concert with them

@SMCVR7 @NBCSCycling And they kept saying they have a plan and have the better team. No wonder Wout is just doing his own thing and pursuing individual glory apart from the team.

After a tough day on Stage 11, Matteo Jorgenson says he knew from the start that it would be a difficult stage for him. #TDF2025
