This helmet design basically fills up the void between the face and arms, heavily reducing turbulent air in that crucial frontal area. This will be a SUPER fast helmet.
Still hoping it gets banned for being ugly as hell, though.

🇫🇷 Bardet not getting a bidon from Jumbo's swanny 's TWICE in 200m on a mountain stage at high temperatures is rediculous.
He's not a threat to your riders and has proven he's an amazing human.
Give the guy a bidon!

It symbolizes Jumbo Visma winning all 3 cycling Grand Tours in a single season in a dominant fashion.
Yellow is the dominant element as the Tour is still by far the most important Grand Tour.
This may be my favorite picture of

The chiaroscuro lighting brings out the emotion on the face of Van der Poel as if it's a Renaissance or Baroque painting. Love it❤️

I don't understand why Discovery+ or Eurosport aren't making a promotional offer to GCN+ users to get them to carry over.
The communication on where to go next is really lacking imo. Failure on WB's side to coordinate this properly.
Cycling Twitter showing its disgusting side once again. A rider is down and hurt; people are cheering it on.
You can disagree with someone's views and opinions, but if you cheer for people getting hurt, you are sick.

Thank god the strength of these barriers improved since the Jakobsen crash. I think some of the people in the crowd may have broken their wrists though.

People bitching about Remco's "arrogant" facial expressions when crossing the line.
Did we forget about this one already?
Let riders celebrate how they want to.
#LaVuelta23
Random thought. Why is there no cycling classic for true climbers? Like the Marmotte Granfondo with 5000m of elevation?
Or do they exist, but the big names don't go there? Feels like an underserved niche.
Turbo Cross was such a nice concept, but too bad

messes up the livestream and fills half of what it managed to broadcast with fat-shaming.

🗣️MVDP about the chat with Pog on the way: 'Wout lead on top of the Tiegemberg, there was a prize there. That made Pog laugh. Was that 6000 euros worth of bathroom stuff? Maybe he needs to renovate. I can refuel for free for a year as hero of the day. That might be better."
MVDP over het onderonsje met Pog onderweg: 'Wout kwam bovenop de Tiegemberg, daar lag een premie. Daar moest hij om lachen. Was dat 6000 euro aan badkamerspullen? Misschien moet hij renoveren . Ik mag een jaar gratis tanken als hero of the day. Dat zal misschien beter zijn.'

Can the UCI please scrap that rule that says chains can't be greased from a moving car now?
We've seen it very prominently in 2 big races with 2 of cycling's biggest stars. Clearly they don't want to enforce it so PLEASE just remove it from the rulebook.
Thank you 🙏
People in the comments when riders are overly media trained:
" Ugh. This is so boring. Nobody ever says what they really think!!"
People in the comments when riders are confident and speak their minds:
"This guy is so arrogant!! He needs to think about what he says"
🤷♂️
Remco Evenepoel: "I have the impression that Roglic is a little nervous. He knows he is 44" behind. The Jumbo-Vismas are nervous in the peloton, they push a lot but that's their style. For now, I think I'm the strongest".
Why should we limit ourselves to just the kit when we can put sponsors on the car too?
Standing on the hood does feel like an unconventional way of presenting a kit.
Question about the Team Visma | Lease a Bike presentation.
They had 🇬🇧 Ben Tullett and 🇺🇲 Matteo Jorgenson appear in the new kit while their contracts at their teams run until 12-31.
Are these riders breaching their contracts?
So the
#Giro
is becoming a battle of survival between 🇸🇮Roglic and 🏴G. Luckily these are 2 guys known for staying on their bikes, right? 😬

If a rider has no bidons anymore and asks someone who's holding 4 of them, it's a much better look when the soigneur helps out.
Sure, DSM fucks up by not having a guy there but be human and give the guy some water as they're riding up a mountain at 30 degrees.
🗣️ 🇧🇪 Wout van Aert "I'm the first of the normal humans".
I'd like to start a petition to prevent Wout from being able to say this. The guy is a mutant himself.

📈 🇸🇮 Pogacar, un 1er chef-d’œuvre

🇸🇮 Roglic en observation

But Lampaert blocks this by sending him into the side of the road, then swerving to the left once Eddy tries to avoid him, completely derailing the DSM train. This looks very intentional.

riding in the front for our leader Sam who was unfortunately unable to sprint at the end. Considering what happened, I am pretty happy that the win went to Cav. It would have been a shame if Groenewegen crossed the line first.

Gaudu: "UAE, they've been riding like crazy all day. I'm not exploding but I let go at 2.5km because I'm flat out. I can't do much more, I'm at 100%. It goes up 3 notches above Paris-Nice. That's how it is. I'm not down."

How do folks deal with nervousness when having the opportunity to talk with a pro rider?
Just sat through a 2.5 hour flight with a Quick-Step rider 1 meter away from me. Just sat there starstruck.
@NairoInGreen
Nope. Wild if you think this is a form of protest that will help to convince people that you are in good faith. This only makes people hate the cause more.
@BenjiNaesen
Mate, by that time Roglic will have signed a pre contract with Movistar, which INEOS then buys him out of as well, and then he retires a few hours later during a press conference in which he cracks jokes for 2 hours on end.
🇬🇧 Geraint Thomas is almost 16 minutes down on 🇸🇮 Roglic and 🌈🇧🇪Remco after 2 MTF's. Is he still considered a Giro GC contender? Or is he back to being a super-domestique like in the Froome era?

I mean... I also struggled to understand why they were controlling tbh. Narvaez in pink at the end of the day was impossible regardless of what INEOS did.
