@Gullesen2 Even worse than Copenhagen. Hard to survive in such harsh conditions.

Did some shopping in my europoor town

"high quality software is infinitely available" Let's see about the "high quality" part. So far it seems to be increased quantity over quality.

@BenjiNaesen "What a ride"

what the fuck

@lukascph Havde også været et stort resultat at komme på podiet.

@larshansen Set i bakspejlet, ja. Men altså, når der er cykelløb, så kører man. Jeg ser hellere end rytter tage føringer og ikke få resultat end nogen, der bare sidder på hjul og så spurter til sidst.

Hvis der er én ting, man lærer på 4km holdforfølgelse, så er det at holde hjulet. Niklas Larsen er så stærk i dag! Og han har absolut en chance i en spurt mod Van Aert. #DDV26 #DDVmen

@MacMasore @aziiaziizam Months of meticulous season planning and then sudden change of plans? Seems strange to me.

@aziiaziizam Or Remco just wants to ride Flanders and you don’t just say no to someone like Remco

If Remco is indeed going to race in the Tour of Flanders, it would suggest that Red Bull is VERY unhappy with the lack of major successes from its riders, and the team is starting to make desperate moves just to secure something. Make a decision like that a week before? Crazy.

@m_mundbjerg Det er det der bekymrer mig mest lige nu 😀

Udover et par millioner temmelig skuffede mennesker og en noget dårligere sommer har de danske landsholdsspillere også manglende søvn og dermed en potentielt dårlig optakt til Dwars door Vlaanderen på samvittigheden. Ikke rart.

Hahaha.... hold kæft hvor var det ringe. Holder mig fortsat til at se cykling. Kæmpe fejl at se landskamp.

@Roadman_Podcast Accessibility and cost of road racing is definitely a factor. Besides that, safety concerns and shifts toward less structured activities are likely much more important drivers than gravel marketing. Could it be that some people just better like gravel?

Gravel “racing” is not racing It’s a sportive with a timing chip. There, I said it. I love gravel. I own a Parlee Taos. I’m racing the MGR in Kenya. But let’s stop pretending that 300 people riding a dirt road in a spread out line with a feed station every 30k is racing. That’s an event. A great event. But it’s not racing. Racing is elbows in a bunch at 45kph through a crosswind. Racing is knowing that the lad two wheels ahead is going to attack on the left hander because he did the same thing last week in the A3s. Racing is reading a peloton like a chess board, sitting fourth wheel, waiting, waiting, then going so hard into the last corner that the sprinter on your hip can’t come around you. Road racing in the UK is dying. Ireland’s calendar is half what it was ten years ago. US crits are disappearing. Meanwhile gravel sells out in minutes. I get it. Gravel is accessible. No licence needed. Nobody’s getting dropped and sitting on the side of the road in the rain waiting for the broom wagon. Nobody’s getting shouted at for overlapping a wheel. But that’s exactly what made road racing brilliant. Categories. Real categories. Where a third cat could pin on a number knowing they’d race other third cats. Where you could get promoted, get relegated, have a season that meant something beyond a finisher’s medal and a burrito at the end. Where a club rider from Bray or Brixton or Brooklyn could say they won an actual race and it mattered because a hundred other lads tried to stop them. We didn’t lose road racing because people stopped wanting to race. We lost it because we stopped making it easy to race. Rising entry fees, pre registration. We lost it because gravel figured out something road racing never bothered to learn. Marketing. Name five gravel races. You can picture the logos, the colours, the Instagram grid. Unbound. Belgian Waffle Ride. Migration Gravel Race. SBT GRVL. They built brands. They brought influencers. They made showing up feel like joining something. They understood that the race starts on social media six months before anyone pins a number on. Now name five local road races. You can’t picture the logo because there isn’t one. The entry was a bank transfer to a club secretary. The results went up on a spreadsheet three days later. Nobody posted about it because there was nothing to post. Road racing didn’t get beaten by gravel. It got outmarketed by it. The racing itself was always better. The tactics, the categories, the raw chaos of a bunch sprint on a wet dual carriageway. That magic never left.

@Hesamation Quite popular for a few days...

this thing disappeared like smoke in a thunderstorm.

@LukeOakes05 To my knowledge, Jonas has not been at altitude camp yet. So should be able to squeeze out some more. Not sure about the Tour though. Peak Pogacar against Vingo who has been at Giro? But of course, things can happen.

Considering he performed well in Paris-Nice in shallower mountains and then being utterly dominant in the higher Catalonia mountains. The Tour, as things stand, are certainly shaping up to be more competitive than 2024 and 2025….

Thoughts on last week’s Volta Catalunya: Jonas Vingegaard 🇩🇰 is certainly the favourite for Il Giro and I’ll be very surprised if he doesn’t take Maglia Rosa. Interesting comments from him at the finish yesterday saying he still has room for improvement. Scary thought….

@OlsenCycling @lucasaganronald That's the crux of it. You don't really get sick from rainy and miserable weather. In contrast, your risk of getting getting sick increases when being inside with other people in poorly ventilated spaces. Also, long rides on home trainers are very hard on the body

@lucasaganronald I'm sorry, but rain doesn't make you ill. And your clothing decides if you're cold. People commute on bike everyday when it rains with aboslutely no problem, so why shouldn't a pro rider be able to do so? I mean, It rains in races too 😅

@bernhardsson As long as we danes don't have to pronounce the endings of words we will be fine with this.

My newest stupid idea is we should merge the Scandinavian languages. Let’s invent a new one that’s basically the average language. Mandate that it’s used for all public broadcasts. People would learn it in a few months. 25M speakers.

@biggie2309 @thdxr Even having tried their frontier models and their tools, I think it's safe to say that they still have deep structural problems. On a range of use-cases, they range from excellent to utter garbage.

@thdxr I mean he has a point, most of people dont know anything about current state of AI - the "GPT" Chatbot is all they experienced so far.

"why isn't everyone more impressed with me"

@LosBrolin Felt excited after his stage victories in TDU and Tirreno. Looking back, those were only the beginning. Great transfer.

Tobi Lund in one day races 2026 👇

@bgwfoct @Domestique___ Looked harder than some of the medals he has won.

@Domestique___ Well done to him but that was anything but casually

Track champion 🇳🇱 Harrie Lavreysen casually crushing a watermelon with his legs 😅 📽️ Zappsport

Bander stadig over at Tobias Lund ikke fik sejren i Gent-Wevelgem. Når jeg får pulsen ned igen, så vil jeg nok konstatere at det er et fremragende resultat og at der et kæmpe potentiale. Iøvrigt spændende cykelløb når der ikke går gruppe 2 syndrom i det hos forfølgerne.

@CyclingRobrk 90 second surge and then riding completely within himself. Definitely pacing himself.

Jonas Vingegaard in total control up the last climb

@brockpierson Remember making hand-drawn maps for the missions.

Who remembers Desert Strike on the Commodore Amiga from back in 1991?

@cycletips123 Det virker ikke som om han er ved at gøre klar til at slette sin profil?

Absolutely devastated 😥😥 😂
