My longstanding passion for cycling. 🥰

A little throwback to my early days, racing bikes on 24" wheels, owning an authentic Nike Polka Dot jersey signed by Mr. Virenque and obviously fanboying Rabobank. 🚴‍♂️

Bikes is happiness.

UCI's new nutrition position statement was released, and Ketone supplements are still listed as "not recommended based on current evidence"

It also acknowledges riders are taking 120g+ of carbs per hour, but says performance benefit still requires validation

If Jonas skips the Giro, Remco should ride Giro GC and then target stage wins at the Tour. There's already two stage wins with just the TTs

🇩🇪 Ralph Denk is not sold on a 🇧🇪 Remco Evenepoel Giro-Tour double

@lukascph @nielsdevriess I doubt it. 2025 was 3.5, nation benefit though

The city of Nice paid ASO €500,000 ex VAT for the two final stages of TdFF 2026

@nielsdevriess I think it's pretty fair and already shows how much women's cycling has grown. For reference 2020 Nice grand depart was 3.7M

Three weeks ago the Worlds finished here. 🌈 Today you’d barely know the World Championships ever happened here

@pietrooijakkers @velofacts Gefeliciteerd, je werkgever voldoet aan de meest basale normen van goed werkgeverschap. Daarmee zijn de verhalen over een angstcultuur en suïcidale gedachten natuurlijk meteen ontkracht

[Luc Grefte @LucGrefte]

@Bart_dG_ Oui! Goed oog 😉

Fella in front is now a WorldTour stage winner, while the fella behind rage baits people on Twitter. Life comes at you fast

@NairoInGreen Seixas more monuments than Jonas 😭

[Luc Grefte @LucGrefte]

@banikf_ @laflammerouge16 That’s not what the rules say. The finish is when the front tyre reaches the vertical plane from the starting edge of the finish line aka the white-to-black edge. The photofinish decides who reached that plane first but it doesn’t define the plane.

[Luc Grefte @LucGrefte]

In 2021 I wrote this thread because there were genuinely signs that the photo finish wasn’t set up correctly

In Ciccone’s case, there’s nothing concrete to go on. But the truth is in practice the photofinish can be set up anywhere on that 32cm white strip, even diagonal

[La Flamme Rouge @laflammerouge16]

The photo finish of #AGR21 was pointing at a spot on the barriers roughly ~25 centimeters before the actual finish.

This is we and @lynchyeatspizza think after analysing photos of the finish.

How did we get to this? ⬇️

[Luc Grefte @LucGrefte]

@BramBerkien @lucxsronald Yes, but speed here is a combination of the kinetic energy of both the rider and the bike. During the bike throw there’s a transfer of energy between the rider’s body and the bike. So a bike going slower can have a body going way faster, depending on the timing

[Luc Grefte @LucGrefte]

@Kunings294354 Should’ve thanked McNulty

[Luc Grefte @LucGrefte]

I’d like to thank Remco Evenepoel for keeping the European Championships jersey in the peloton in 2027. 💁‍♂️
