Shameless Remco Apologist & Felix Gall truther. All takes my own, unless they're good, in which case I probably stole them from someone else. (He/Him)

Here are the total Individual Time Trial kms of every Grand Tour since 2000, since apparently I, a man in my twenties, living in a major city, had nothing better to do with my Friday night

This is how every Tour is designed The only reason there are so few TT kms as default these days is because ASO cut down during the 2010s to stop Froome winning too easily

I don't think it's cool that a Grand Tour is designed in a way to benefit or harm the chances of any particular rider and it's exhausting that this has become the discourse

Need someone to convince Remco he can do the Giro/Tour double (even though he definitely can't) so we get a Remco/IDT showdown at the Giro and Stage Hunter Remco at the Tour instead of going all in to finish within 5 minutes of Pogacar

Going to spend the next 10 Years rooting for Maxime Decomble every time I see him in a breakaway and I'm never going to remember why

The Tour of Holland calling itself the Eneco Tour is going to make my continuing insistence on calling the Renewi Tour the Eneco Tour particularly confusing

Don't know who the Van Rysel mechanic at Paris-Tours is, but give him a World Tour contract immediately Smoothest wheel change since the introduction of disc brakes

Kinda saw the Remco underperformance coming, but Del Toro blowing up and losing 5 minutes?

Actually kind of mad that the Team America move couldn't stay away from Giulio Pellizzari on the flat after Madonna del Ghisallo

The 'Oh Shit' double take from Pidcock before he starts his sprint a fraction of a second too late Maybe he couldn't see Jarno properly with Jorgenson in his way and got ambushed. Still in his saddle as Widar had already closed to within a bike length at full speed

I think Jarno has a better sprint than Pidcock here? Maybe?

Worst side effects of the World Champs us Jorgenson has learned he has free will and simply doesn't have to take a turn if he doesn't want to

Tom Pidcock has decided Matteo Jorgenson does in fact want to pull

Hector Alvarez runs the risk of being overshadowed as a prospect by other riders from his 2006 cohort, particularly because he hasn't ridden many u23 races at all, but he really is very good

Luckily, cheating in modern sports is completely untenable Teams are reliant on big sponsors who care about their reputations The UAE would never sink so much money into a sportswashing scheme that could be uncovered as fraudulent in the future

Pretty heartwarming that Gianetti went from hospitalising himself with bizarre doping attempts, to creating Riccardo Ricco in a lab, to having the 2011 Vuelta stripped from Cobo, but then decided to follow the rules and accidentally found the most dominant athlete of all time

Still can't get over RedBull sending their 6 million€ rider to a training camp for a month after finishing 2nd at the Tour so he could show up in Canada with the perfect power curve to win Quebec and no other races just Quebec actually

After Remco and Wout underperformed at the RR, just think what Belgium could have accomplished if they'd brought Tim Wellens He could have helped Jorgenson and Del Toro cover attacks in G2 McNulty might have won by over a minute

Thank you, Bruno Amirail for cooking everyone's legs with 100km to go, and gifting us two and a half hours of uncontrollable chaos
