@SteAssent lol

Hell of a stack. Proper doping, none of this woke microdosing shite.

@conrad_truedson @jgault13 They go off a little earlier now though so that doesn’t happen to the top women anymore anyway

@jgault13 Great idea. Jake Wightman's mum was 4th in 1988 and lost in a sea of men until the very end.

Interesting idea...there is an insane level of demand to run London (1.1 million applications for 2026), though a two-day race would still produce a less than 10% acceptance rate (assuming demand holds). Elite men's and women's races would be held on separate days.

@Jamesmolesruns Genuinely not sure why the elite women should have any different reaction to the elite men, who’s to say who races on which day, and they don’t race together anyway. Splitting them just means there’s an elite race on both days, don’t see it signalling any inferiority

Think the detail here is important. AW saying male and female elite races on different days. Good to understand how the elite women feel. And whether champs/GFA will double up across both days too. And will athletics clubs get double places...?

@nocontextfm1 Don’t worry, nobody watches the championship, so I won’t be heard

One unlucky commentator is going to have a nightmare and ruin their career because of this

@fpl_juice What fashion, all I see is doors going up like transformers.

When you read the comments, it’s clear most football fans have zero sense of style or fashion.

@GestaltedApe @HankFrank Out of interest have you ever stood amongst a group of pro cyclists. Nobody could stand in a group of pro cyclists and think they’re with big dudes. Honestly, I’m done with this, if you’re shifting the goalposts to 75kg men being big to make the argument work it’s pointless.

I argued no such thing, explain what you are talking about. I will argue that a 75-80kg man is a LARGE man. I discount and could give a fuck about the fatties. If you're under 15% fat and not a total fucking slob, a guy in that 75-80kg range is a BIG DUDE. I'd go as far as to say, humans don't really get much bigger than that, unless they are: freakishly tall, fat, or spend several years or more building muscle.

Same thing applies to cycling. Pushing 300 watts at 200 lbs sounds impressive until you realize someone pushing 250 watts at 150 lbs is dropping you on every climb. Raw power only tells half the story. Watts per kilogram tells the rest. Big watts in a big body is just a big engine in a heavy car.

@GestaltedApe @HankFrank Because you argued the watt/kg don’t matter, that bigger guys win. They don’t. All winning bike riders are small, the winningest are tiny, but they are all small. You can’t claim big people have an advantage and then use 75kg fully grown men as an example of one.

@ishdo79 @HankFrank Why are you interested in cyclists who would be "big in the real world". In the real world, well, at least in the US, 80kg is small for a man. Everyone is fat. The average man in the US I think is pushing 90kg. At like 173cm.

@BriShaw81 Sauna’s are proven to increase VO2 Max so it was only a matter of time

FFS!!! I’ve just seen someone log on Strava……….. STEAM ROOM 🤯

@laflammerouge16 Uphill 💀

Pidcock got trauma for launching too late last saturday and went at 400 to go #VoltaCatalunya105

@lina_prensa My wife says I’m her favourite Data Scientist of all time.

Urska Zigart reveals that Tadej Pogacar is her favorite cycling rider of all time.

@Halytsky_3IKING @CitiusMag Not that you’re picking sides…

@ishdo79 @CitiusMag kid got triggered by his own insecurities exposed himself over nothing

Live look at Owen M as all these British athletes keep winning gold medals 🥇 🇬🇧

@Halytsky_3IKING @CitiusMag He did, he dealt with them very nicely indeed

@ishdo79 @CitiusMag If he can't handle the heat then he should get out of the kitchen. Wanna be an influencer then deal with people making a tweet referencing you.

@Halytsky_3IKING @CitiusMag First day on the internet?

@ishdo79 @CitiusMag That's what I'm saying though. "His side" ??? Side of what? Picking sides over nothing. 🤡

@Halytsky_3IKING @CitiusMag I’m not offended that they “hurt” him, after all, he dealt with them his damn self. I’m just on his side

@CitiusMag Get a grip people, it looks like him. The end. Instead we got people in here posting like...

@GestaltedApe @HankFrank I first watched cycling when Big Mig was the man. He absolutely was massive for a cyclist. The clue was in the name. He was 76-80kg.

@GestaltedApe @HankFrank Brennan isn’t a climber. The sprinters I listed aren’t climbers. Sonny Colbreli wasn’t a climber. Let’s turn it around list the cyclists you mean, who would be considered big in the real world.

@GestaltedApe @HankFrank The playing field is more even in bunch sprints, but for every Milan or Bennett there’s at least one Cav, or Jasper, or Ewan and Brennan. At Paris-roubaix, the best hope for a bigger guy, it’s been Colbrelli and Jasper if not MVDP. It’ll probably be Pogi

@GestaltedApe @HankFrank Who’s been good this year: Pogi, Jonas, Remco, Del Toro, Siexas, Pidcock, Brennan… and MVDP. Other than the “massive” (/s) 75kg MVDP they are all absolutely tiny, to a man

@GestaltedApe @HankFrank To your point on Pogi, he can rouler as good as anyone when he wants to, hence all his 80km breakaway wins. Yes MVDP can out sprint on equal footing, but then Cav could out sprint both. Anyway, MVDP is still a small human in the real world (1.84m, 75kg)

@GestaltedApe @HankFrank Absolutely not true. And yes I am a cyclist, Ive been a very good one. At 63kg and a relatively puny absolute FTP I can keep up with almost anyone on almost anything. Pogi and Cav are the best to ever do it at their relative disciplines. Remco is unbeatable in TT rn, all midgets.
