Wout Van Aert always said if he won Paris-Roubaix, he would send the bouquet to Michael Goolaerts' parents.
Some things are more meaningful than words can ever express.
Michael Goolaerts 🖤
Reporting live from the fans in sector 8…

That was an emotional rollercoaster.
Super happy for Wout. If you have a heart, so are you.

Happy Paris-Roubaix Day to all who celebrate! 🪨🪨🪨🪨

The couch thought he'd never leave.
Woohoo 🎉
ASO -- the race organizers, same people who organized TdF -- do not give a shit about women's cycling.
In addition, the event is now co-sponsored by the local region, so the push to only have road closures one day carries more weight.
I agree it's BS. But we need to direct our wrath: Fuck ASO

Went for a bike ride yesterday. Antwerp was looking pretty good.
Estonia making all other countries look like cowards here, and I'm thankful for it.
If you really care about the harms to children caused by big tech, then why aren't you enforcing the laws already on the books?
Why do you let big tech get away with murder, then tell kids: Best protect ya neck 🤷
Since you ask: I think this roughly falls apart in two groups
1) People who like cycling
2) People who like bike races
The second group believes they know what it takes to win a race.
The first group is enjoying the sport and thinks: You're lecturing Mathieu on cycling? Really? (eye roll)
Good news: The bike arrived!
Bad news: We might have ruined a marriage.
all these universities kept axing medieval history departments as if they thought tyrants beefing with the Pope was going to stop being relevant

The American television channel CBS covered Paris–Roubaix in the 1980s. Theo de Rooij, a Dutchman, had been in a promising position to win the 1985 race but had then crashed, losing his chance of winning. Covered in mud, he offered his thoughts on the race to CBS' John Tesh after the race:
"It's a bollocks, this race!" said de Rooij. "You're working like an animal, you don't have time to piss, you wet your pants. You're riding in mud like this, you're slipping ... it's a pile of shit".
When then asked if he would start the race again, de Rooij replied:
"Sure, it's the most beautiful race in the world!"[63]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:q25tg5qy6kzwtuecpe6b4shw/bafkreigkeicx63syzwmcmhj3ghknmc4lauysoq6bz55sompvzisridhshi)

1985: 172 starters, 35 finishers.
Seriously looking forward to the 122nd Paris-Roubaix bike race on Sunday morning.
On one hand, Tadej got out of the saddle on this tiny climb 😅
On the other hand, that slide into position on the podium was super smooth 🌈

I'm sorry to hear that. I hope you can keep cycling.
I've been lucky so far, lucky to live in a country with proper cycling infrastructure that is.
Any close calls I've had have been without exception in the final km of my commute to work in Brussels because people in cars think they own the road.
Shower gel? What's wrong with a block of soap? 🧼 😅

EPP absolutely showing its true colors here. As they say at home, a total tsjevenstreek.

Billie Samuel was the first woman to cycle from Melbourne to Sydney, Australia. On her return journey, she broke the women's world record for the fastest ride from Sydney to Melbourne.

Are the pearl-clutchers at it again?
To translate this for non-EU people, it's the equivalent of the US supreme court (the ECJ here) ruling that states (the EU Member States here) must respect people's gender choices.
Good news for our trans friends:
The European Court of Justice on Thursday ruled that European Union nations must provide transgender citizens with identification documents reflecting their "lived gender" rather than their gender at birth.
