What the fuck has he done to his hair?

Strip the win from him for that.

This decision was brought to you by the cycling vibes director.

Man, a UAE 1-2-3 would trigger sooooooo many people LMAO

🤣🤣🤣 that’s going to trigger the right kind of people

👍

Also, stop doing videos in portrait mode, you fucking savages!

We’re watching the wrong race

Extra credit to everyone roadside just really excited to see Pog and not holding a phone up.

The banter outcome here would be a del torro solo attack to catch Pog.

Once in a while, there are rumors that RCS might add a climb to Milano San Remo to make the race more exciting. They probably won’t. But I wonder if they’ll ever remove Monte Sante Marie from Strade Bianche to avoid an 80km+ solo by Tadej Pogacar

Tadej Pogacar is of course physically gifted but he has the superpower of turning everyone’s brain to pudding once he has a gap

two men are sitting next to each other and one of them is yelling ALT: two men are sitting next to each other and one of them is yelling

The Internet™️ - Pogacar is boring, ruining cycling and I hate him

Italians at the side of the road -

It’s so childish. Multiple teams in there have multiple riders, and not one of them is working. Shameful.

Tadej Pogacar taking advantage of the fact that cyclists are all weird and have no friends.

🤣

I’m so angry. This is a world class group and they’re leaving it to the 19 year old.

Can we work together?

No, you might beat me in the finale

Sorry, I’m not allowed to work.

There’s fair criticism to made of Pogacar riding away from everyone, but there’s also fair criticism to had of chase groups doing zero organizing.

That’s a super strong chase group, there’s no excuse to not get organized. Fucking, work together!

a blue sticker that says "man it sucks not having kids. all do is whatever iw ant, all the time"

if you're still in the neighborhood, there's another a couple good ones on 12th

An homage to a panel from the Achewood web comic. Phillipe, a young and eager otter, who is wearing a shirt and tie and a helmet for some reason, is happily singing a song to himself as follows: Born... in the USA! I went to school and I got an... A! I ate a hamburger and said hooray! Maybe it will happen today! The final line is obviously my addition. The art was redrawn by me and is not just a copy of the original panel. Done in black lines and halftone shading on a toned paper background. You do not need to trouble Chris Onstad about this.

My son asks similar questions, and the temptation to explain not wanting to pull just in case someone else wins is very strong.

Look at all that glorious sunshine in Embra. 'Mon us!

Thank you!

UAE and Visma need to have those cockpits banned. They look stupid.

My dream job would be ‘bike vibes inspector’. No deep rims today, that frame has too much writing on it, get rid of those bars, a gold fucking chain?

Death, taxes, and Tadej Pogacar dropping everyone on Monte Sante Marie

I think there’s an element of online cycling fandom who will vociferously complain no matter what. Then there’s another significant part who thought one team winning everything in 2023 was exciting.

I love having @carltonkirby.bsky.social and Matt Stephens on the call today.

Did @brismithy.bsky.social forget to put a pound in the leccy meter again, where is he?

Tuned in just in time for the murder at 80km lol

I mean this is a dog who made it halfway through the Iditarod powered entirely by anxiety, need-to-please, and a powerful genetic urge to pull and run, and then quit completely on his musher after his brother got hurt. He is a high-performance dog-shaped bag of intense feelings!

That’s every sports team I root for.
