Amo lo sport. Ciclismo su tutti, poi sport invernali, ma guardo qualunque cosa. Nazionalismo e fanatismo il peggio delle persone. @LasterketaBurua #notodoping
The Col de Montségur is a 7 km climb at 6,5%, with some steeper kilometers in the middle and just before the top. It's hard enough to scare the sprinters, but not for GC action, ie perfect for breakaways. #TDF2026
French Pyrenees for the fourth stage of #TDF2026 a great medium mountain route for breakaways and "fughe bidone". Two climbs in the last 90 km, with Col de Montségur to be topped with 35 km to go. Profile of the finale.
Quando organizzi un evento sportivo in una dittatura succede questo.
Immaginate cosa fanno (e hanno sempre fatto) con il doping di stato. "Eh ma l'URSS".
It could have been done harder by using a different side of Col du Calvaire, with harder gradients and a steep passage inside Font Romeu, to spice things up. Comparison of the two finales. #TDF2026
First mountains of #TDF2026 after reaching France from Spain, climbing the brutal Collada de Toses before the long Col du Calvaire. Hill top finish in Les Angles, less than 2 km climb. Perfect for breakaways. Or Pogačar.
Remco molto bene oggi, Jonas molto meno. Ma spero sia un buon segno visto che negli ultimi due anni sembrava sempre super esplosivo e poi sulle salite le prendeva nettamente dallo sloveno.
Pidcock solita delusione quando fa tirare la squadra. #TDF2026
Incredibile doppietta della UAE con Del Toro che, dopo l'inseguimento, lancia una volata perfetta a Tadej, talmente perfetta che fa saltare Jonas, allora lo sloveno, scherzando sulla bici, lascia la prima vittoria al Tour al messicano. Non voleva la gialla oggi. #TDF2026
Second day, still in Barcelona, with at the end two and a half laps of Montjuïc circuit, ie three passages over Castell de Montjuïc climb, already seen in last stage of Volta a Catalunya, but with a different approach, making it harder. Topped with 2,4 km to go. #TDF2026
It was definitely a serious crash and we're glad to learn that no rider sustained any major injury! See you tomorrow guys! 💪
C'était en effet une chute impressionnante et on est heureux qu'aucun coureur ne souffre de blessure majeure ! Bon repos et à demain ! 💪
#TDF2026
Il #TDF2026 della Visma non poteva iniziare meglio, con Vingegaard che veste la prima gialla, Piganzoli sensazionale. Questo senza Wout.
UAE sottotono, 11" per Pogačar, 25" per Del Toro.
As well said by @cronoescalada, it would have been more interesting to change the order of the first two stages, with an hilly first day, the stage everybody was waiting, and a second day TTT. #TDF2026
The day we were all waiting for. #TDF2026 starts in Barcelona with a TTT finishing in Montjuïc after passing in front of some of the city most famous locations. The route is flat until km 15,4 when they will tackle the first climb, with 300m at 10,3%. Decisive last 4,2 km.
Jonas Vingegaard before the Tour: “I've already beaten the greatest of all time… and I can do it again.”
“I did not get out of the Giro completely on my knees. That makes it so you can recover faster afterwards and start your training and get into a good rhythm quicker. If you are on your knees after the Giro, you need two weeks, maybe even more, to recover.”
L Then it is hard to start building towards the Tour because then the Tour is already coming. For me at least, I came out of the Giro in a good way and pretty quickly I could start building towards the Tour de France.”
“We tried something new, which was also the plan, because I think we realised after last year that it was not really so enjoyable to do what we did every year. So now we tried to mix it up with the preparation for the Tour, and it has been going really well this year. Also in a mental state, I am in a very good place.”
“I still think that Tadej is probably the best rider who has ever been in a bunch. For me personally, to have been able to drop him is something really incredible for me. It is something that I am extremely proud of.
Also, it gives me motivation to try to do it again and to try to do it this year. It also gives me the confidence that I am one of the guys who can actually challenge him.” #TDF2026
WATCH: 🇨🇭Audrey Werro goes 1:53.80 to break the Diamond League 800m record at the Paris Diamond League.
Still No. 3 all-time but another step closer toward the world record.
