Jonas Vingegaard And Tadej Pogačar As “Long Live”

just to illustrate how completely serious a sport this is, the uci just fined isaac del toro 200 chf for “damaging the image of the sport” for - wait for it - celebrating his milano-torino win with his jersey fully unzipped

“the tamer”….. yeah….

i now have a top 3 podium pictures of all time btw

love when leadout men celebrate their spinter winning, generally just when teammates celebrate each other

love seeing a leadout man celebrating from 20ish wheels back when his sprinter wins the race

how it feels to love sport even when it hurts me because the act of participating in and watching sports is one of the most purely human acts of collective emotion you can experience, wether you win or lose, in that moment you, the athlete, the team, every fan, in the room, in the stands, across the world, is cheering together, crying together, winning together, losing together, and its more beautiful and perfect and frustrating and heartbreaking than a tv show or movie could ever be because its real its real and next season can always be different so you'll always come back and we keep always coming back for the rest of human existence

Something i find so fascinating about sports is when a guy is like my dad was actually legit abusive but it made me the player i am today so i really respect his decision to abuse me. Like well ok do u want to talk abt anything

Seeing a pro be so in disbelief over having won such a big race really reminds you that they too used to be kids dreaming of making it one day, and mattias fucking did! he beat THE world champion and olympic champion !

I cannot wait to see how his season turns out the rest of the year.
