Having him as team lead would be a bit mad, but some sort of super domestique with permission to go for a couple of stages could be good…. The pressure of being billed as a GC contender feels a bit mad right now (even if he secretly is hoping to come top 10)
Every year around Roubaix I say to myself “as a one day enjoyer, this has been the highlight of my year, now I can get a life on weekends, thank you to the classics”
Then I watch 2 minutes of tour cycling, relapse hard, badabing badaboom, it’s time for il Lombardia ♥️
But in the long run…. You win 😎
“I would enjoy these cycling takes, but I know they were written by someone who doesn’t do their uni work, so they’re less fun now” - everyone when you don’t do your uni work
“Gee u sure hope my fans are well known in the Bluesky community for being hard working intellects” - Primož (probably)
1993 Paris Roubaix is a must watch if you haven’t
I found myself watching Fausto Coppi highlights earlier 😰
Also, the title sponsors are okay, but there’s a *lot* of advertisers paid for spaces the velodrome/ on jerseys and the organisers just sacked all that lot off….
First they lose the “cobble out the floor” delivery gizmo, now this?!? 😅 Better cut the women’s prize fund a bit to keep the lights on! 😅
They literally own the pictures what the hell 😅
If you remember, last year they nearly took Tadej out when they pulled a similar urgent manoeuvre to get up to him when he needed the antiknock gel….
It seems that they’re not particularly worried about the fines (and they’re seen as a cost of doing business) OR the commissaries approve it
Me - “I was wondering if I should have a mentor tbf”
Man who has been offering me advice and guidance and coffee for years - “what the hell do you think I am?”
Me - “Ooooooooooh”
Kinda fun that Visma got 1,2&3 across the men’s and women’s podia at #ParisRoubaix
Jens Voigt covered 85km uphill on that and still caught up with the bunch
The UCI definition of a bike is more than thorough at this point 😅
YOU DON’T KNOW THAT
(actually you do, it’s in the rules that they have to cross the line with a bike)
I think they were all knackered and probably know a thing or two, but you’re are right, she probably could have fooled Koch into thinking that she wasn’t riding for her team leader 👍🏻
ASO agonizing over whether they can cut the women’s prize fund to fund the podium gizmo, or if they should ask Warner Brothers to charge the fans even more 🙃
So all in all, the Visma tyre gizmos weren’t especially missed?

Gutted.😭
Wout came through every time Tadej flicked his elbow and he was duly rewarded 😍
Yeah I reckon if she’d just ridden her bike faster she would have won though 😅
How many does he need before he can glue them together into a big one??
🤣 it was at the end of a hard 140km and you think the should have done more? C’mon man 😅
Dwar doors Vlaanderen enjoyers know it could be worse 😰
You could say they Koched it up 🙃
I’m sorry for everything I said
I’m sorry for everything I said
Shout out the way Wout risked it in an all out sprint though 😍 he’s given us so much over the years
VISMA NUMERICAL ADVANTAGE CAN ONLY GO WELL
Wout redemption, now will we see the “Visma numerical advantage in a sprint” redemption in the #ParisRoubaix femmes?!?
