Correct takes served hot and fresh.

For future reference: this is a GC Kuss stan account.

@Tratnikstan Agree that disrupting UAE train would be satisfying. But watching Sepp absolutely DUST Primoz as payback for the Angliru last year would be even more satisfying.

Sepp 🟰 back. 😁

Kristen Faulkner didn't start cycling until after school at Harvard.

In 2021, she quit her job as a venture capitalist to pursue it.

She wasn't even supposed to race today until a teammate resigned.

She's now the first American to win gold in the women’s road race in 40 years.

Tbh would’ve been an even better final if the front pair had been going so slow/staring at each other that they couldn’t even catch Kwiato’s wheel when he came flying by.

[Benji Naesen @BenjiNaesen]

Amstel Gold Race 2019 will forever remain one of the best finals of a one day race in cycling history.

[Homer Watts @TheHomerWatts]

Yep. I’m deep in my quadrennial attempt to get excited about the small chance the RR is exciting… but this will inevitably dash my hopes.

[Always bet the break @BreakAlways]

Olympics RR is set up to have incredible group 2 syndrome.

2-3 strong guys up the road, with enough medals to go around.

And you need probably 3-4 teams committing to the chase behind. But there's about 10 total strong domestiques in the race.

Like Plapp & McNulty go? GL.

[allergy_al @allergy_al]

Even though I always love seeing Jonas, the choice of graphic is a bit weird considering he said he wouldn't go (and Sepp is the defending champion) 😅

[Homer Watts @TheHomerWatts]

@Cyclingbottle I agree that their clear devotion to each other is really admirable. And I think that Urska being snubbed for the Olympics was dumb, short-sighted, etc.

But what about the decision was *morally* wrong? Am I missing something?

[Homer Watts @TheHomerWatts]

@writebikerepeat Yes. Yes, we are.

@jwsvelo “Real danger men” - the men are dangerous

[Homer Watts @TheHomerWatts]

This, plus his incredibly heartfelt post-race interview just now.

Victor is to this tour what Matej Mohoric was to last year’s.

[GC KUSS @GCKUSSfan]

Victor Campaenarts on facetime with (presumably) his wife and baby while his phone is blowing up 🥹🥹🥹.

Who’s cutting onions?!?!

[Homer Watts @TheHomerWatts]

Good take

[Always bet the break @BreakAlways]

I like Carapaz a lot.

What I don’t care for is teams complaining that GC riders don’t let breaks win.

It’s a bike race, not a charity giveaway. If Pog wands his team to work to win 10 stages, go for it.

(Also, it’s rich to say “let little guys win” and it’s 2 GT winners)

[Homer Watts @TheHomerWatts]

Lol ok

[Domestique @Domestique___]

🇧🇪Remco Evenepoel on the stage:

🗣️"Today I showed that I am reasonably at Vingegaard's level. He beat me, but tomorrow I might beat him."

[GC KUSS @GCKUSSfan]

*Ahem*

VISMA’S NEVER WON A GRAND TOUR WITHOUT #GCKUSS

[Homer Watts @TheHomerWatts]

Seriously WTF @peacock . Stage has been over for 2 hours and replay isn’t up for viewing yet… but a highlight video that spoils the stage is? I stayed off social media until I got home to watch, just to have the streaming platform spoil it. Ridiculous #TDF2024

[GC KUSS @GCKUSSfan]

Live look at Jonas Vingegaard

[Homer Watts @TheHomerWatts]

Already SO tired of the whining about boring tactics. The best riders in the world aren’t there just to make you yell “CICLISMO” at your TV.

They’re there to chase history. They win by riding smart. And Tadej and Remco, of all people, should know that.

#TDF2024

[Homer Watts @TheHomerWatts]

@Cyclingbottle @Alon_Rheinruhr You want to talk about heart/passion/risk? It takes all of that to spend months away from family, making physical and mental sacrifices to ensure you give yourself and your team the best possible chance for success. These guys aren’t dancing monkeys. They’re here to win!

[GC KUSS @GCKUSSfan]

LATE AT NIGHT I TOSS AND I TURN AND I DREAM OF WHAT I NEED

I NEED A HERO

[Benji Naesen @BenjiNaesen]

If you're one of the people complaining that DSM gifted the stage victory to Romain Bardet.

Firstly, you're probably Dutch. Secondly, Frank van den Broek is clearly strong enough to win another stage in this Tour de France, have some confidence in your man. #TDF2024

[Homer Watts @TheHomerWatts]

@stinemomo @faustocoppi60 @SergioL612 I’m not suggesting he’s magic. And yes, I understand basic statistics. Now that we’ve gotten that out of the way, all I meant to suggest is that there are plenty of good reasons to back Sepp in a GT squad beyond an “ambient idea of him being important”.
