Egan 🥹🥹🥹

Forever wishing merc admin would do something about the amount of shitty comments they get about George. Bc god forbid they post about their other driver 🙄 like yes you can not rise to it and ignore it but bloody hell it’s so much and shouldn’t just be accepted..

Hoping for much more peaceful comment sections once the cult leaves but until then.. pls acknowledge it. Call them out. Do something about it.

pardon me sappy emotional post coming up:

egan bernal just won the colombian national road race. now i first started watching cycling properly in 2019 and egan was the first rider i really fell in love with. after that horrific crash in 2022 it’s honestly been so brilliant just to see him racing, i’ve been so excited just seeing him in breaks.

i saw an interview with him at the start of the 2023 tour and he said it didn’t matter to him if he never won anything again, he was just so happy to be back in a peloton again.

and now he’s won the national title in both the itt and the road race. first wins since the giro in 2021. i barely every cry at this sport but this got me.

2025 is the year of egan guys COME ON

everybody STOP what they're doing and look at nijntje at the tour de france

Thinking about George’s crash and Zhou’s crash at Silverstone. How George, acting on instinct, parked his car forfeited his race, and hardly thought about rushing to help in anyway he could. How he talked about how scared he had felt, and how worried for Zhou he had been. How he found himself in a situation that must have been one of his worst fears and they didn’t red flag the race for him. Despite how much he was asking for one. No. They had him sitting on the track, unable to see the cars coming at him, trapped and frantically looking around waiting for that impact. Its horrifying. It shouldn’t have happened to anyone, and the fact that George showed his true character by immediately placing another drivers safety first, but the sport couldn’t do that for him in return is so upsetting.

Pit debrief put out an article collating the drivers opinions on the Alonso Brake check incident (here)

Lewis being one of the only drivers sympathising with George’s fear, being concerned for him, and calling out Alonso’s behavior as unjustifiable where other drivers said George should have just expected it…

Hamilton added that he didn’t “understand” Alonso’s move, pointing out that Russell found himself in a precarious position as a result.

“The stewards obviously found a reason to penalise. If I try to put myself in Fernando’s position I can’t understand the manoeuvre, but I’m just glad that George is safe. It’s a frightening position to be in, in the middle of the track, with cars coming around at great speeds.”

It’s almost like the guy who’s had to deal with Alonso the longest, including being his teammate, might know exactly what he was trying to do.

Nut sisters attack!!!!

everytime i read something more abt George this week i get progressively sicker. He doesnt deserve anything thats happened to him and i cannot believe people have the audacity to question his motives right now. See how YOU feel in a situation that could have been fully fatal. The FIA is a mess and i want to give him the biggest hug in the world. My poor darling boy. He deserves better. Do better.

the thing about cycling is they love to hold hands and they love to cry. what more do you want from a sport
