this might just be my favourite cycling photo ever

[lissie @LissMJM]

@DanWatchesCyc Ugh I want this set so bad, but I’m waiting until I have a reasonable excuse to treat myself😔

[Ame @Amekingdra]

If we refuse to watch Men’s Final at RG, the least we can do is act like he doesn’t exist.

Mute his name, don’t repost Final content, don’t get into arguments, don’t give it attention.

I know it doesn’t change much but we also can’t be yelling ourselves hoarse abt it either.

[lissie @LissMJM]

@DanWatchesCyc thank goodness🙏recently anytime I’ve seen visma in a wielerflits headline my heart rate has increased tenfold from panic, so it’s nice to see some good news again

[lissie @LissMJM]

this might be the worst and most chaotic roland garros I’ve ever witnessed

[° @notsoaveragejoo]

51.14 and yall was hyping up some broken 4s in a workout

[lissie @LissMJM]

@grussellist 1) the racing is pretty entertaining, and wins are for the most part spread across a few teams
2) the best riders are probably vollering (GC/climber), wiebes (sprint), vos (puncheur/sprint) and pfp (GC/climber), but loads of other riders win too
3) the Giro is on right now

[lissie @LissMJM]

@Leeuw_jdl @lucxsronald where could he go though? There are next to no other teams that have a decent enough budget/sprint train that would guarantee him a ride at the tour

[lissie @LissMJM]

@DanWatchesCyc ridiculous decision if true

[rory @seventhswann]

Just found out Diana Schnaider is 22. Born in 2004. I thought for sure she was at least 30.

[lissie @LissMJM]

it’s days like this that make me think about how much I would love de lie to be at his best all year round so we can actually see what he’s capable of

[lissie @LissMJM]

@CyclingWerewolf @FanbrizioNews @espn @BenjiNaesen @dnlbenson @InsideOut2912 no one outside of cycling really knows who he (or any other cyclist in this era) is unfortunately🤷‍♀️the sport is still too niche, and the only 'household names' are those that get busted for doping (e.g. Armstrong)

[li @vetstappen]

lowk expected because no sane driver would do this if their passion was winning. his passion, at least now, has probably shifted to maintaining his lifestyle. 8 years and nothing to show for it, they’ve stoned vettel for less

[ًᵗᵒ @tosports13]

have they asked all the american players for a clear stance on all the wars their country is involved in too?

[lissie @LissMJM]

@BohunickaNikola awww it’s giving breakup😅

[Inside Out @InsideOut2912]

RB-Bora and Lidl–Trek genuinely seem to be competing over who can sign the most B- and C-tier GC riders and supposedly “high-profile” staff members 🙂

[lissie @LissMJM]

@DanWatchesCyc I genuinely don’t know what would possess him to do this😔

[lissie @LissMJM]

@BohunickaNikola this can’t be real I refuse to believe it

[lissie @LissMJM]

@Tratnikstan I doubt trine would allow him to divorce her anyway, but let’s say it did happen, then yeah, he’d just have to put a bit of a ‘single dad’ spin on it

[lissie @LissMJM]

@Selma215_ but yeah everyone he works with says he’s quiet, I don’t think he’s like super shy because he’s pretty good at speaking to people, but maybe he just prefers to mind his business or is just more of a 'serious' type

[lissie @LissMJM]

kooij almost at 50 pro wins😌

[lissie @LissMJM]

@Selma215_ yeah the only merch they did was for his Giro wins I think, and apart from appearing briefly in the Tour of Holland doc (which was more focused on Christophe anyway) he only appeared in the one giro documentary
