Pit Debrief Put Out An Article Collating The Drivers Opinions On The Alonso Brake Check Incident (here)

Duolingo is really effectively preparing me for that meeting with Wout van Aert. I can’t wait to ask him if he’s an apple. I’ve always wondered.

You can instantly id josh purely by leg length

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

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.

so next season of women's cycling will have :

the legend anna van der breggen coming back from retirement to try to win the tour

the OTHER LEGEND pauline ferrand prevot coming back to road cycling to try to win the tour

demi vollering with actual teammates teaming up with juliette labous and evita muzic

cecilie uttrup ludwig teaming up with kasia in what will probably be the most likable duo in the peloton

I mean this with genuine sincerity, which I'm sure will be immediately rebuffed, but it is actually heartbreaking to see the steady decline into conspiratorial madness of some Lewis fans. Some people I used to find really funny and have a lot of respect for just... consumed by something irrational and motivated by an echo chamber of their own making. It must be so tiring to be in such a perpetual state of anger and suspicion all the time?
