I don’t post here much. But I’ll roll this grenade down the aisle: 2am testing is one of the very effective ways to prevent peptide(EPO,hGH) and testosterone micro dosing. If UCI had tested us in 2001 at 2am? We’d all have been suspended and saved the sport 25 years of drama.

Dear Italy,
Your PM just defended Pope and lost an ally in Washington — the Commander in Grief, yet the most 'powerfool'man on earth.

We'd like to apply for the vacancy.

Our qualifications: 7,000 years of civilization, a shared love of poetry, architecture, and food that takes longer to prepare than Trump's attention span.

The only thing Iran and Italy have ever fought over is who invented ice cream. Faloodeh came first. Gelato came louder. We've been in a 'cold' war over this for 2,000 years.

Calories In vs Calories Out isn’t a myth. It’s physics (First Law of Thermodynamics) + physiology.

👉 Eat the same & move more → lose weight
👉 Eat the same & move less → gain weight
👉 Eat more and same level of exercise → gain weight
👉 Eat less and same level of exercise→ lose weight

✅ It should always works.

HOWEVER: How much? We don’t know exactly as it depends on your physiology, metabolism, and diet. Everyone is different, so the magnitude can’t be predicted. But the principle holds.

That uncertainty is what many exploit to sell you the “diet of the moment” or that magic supplement.

At the end of the day:
“Body weight change results from an imbalance between energy intake and energy expenditure. That’s a non-negotiable law of physics.” (Hall et al., 2012)

Everyone knows Roger Bannister broke the 4-minute mile barrier.

What most don’t know?

Two weeks before, he stopped training, went to the mountains, and didn’t touch a track.

That break may have made history.

Let’s unpack the real story behind the barrier-breaking mile:

“What’s wrong with Wout!?”

I was caught off guard today by how much negative chatter followed Wout Van Aert’s excellent performance in Brabantse Pijl.

Are many seeing what I’m seeing? Apparently not. So I took a few minutes this afternoon to share my thoughts on his comeback performances—and how they might be pointing to bigger-picture goals that most people are missing.

1. “Wout is washed. His sprint is pathetic compared to his 2021 Champs-Élysées-winning sprint.”
Let’s kick this off with some facts that hit differently.

Ironically, “2021 Champs-Élysées-winning Wout” lost Brabantse Pijl in a sprint to 128-pound Tom Pidcock. Yes, that’s right—the same guy who, in the same year, won the field sprint on the Champs-Élysées got beaten by a rookie pro climber in a sprint.

This year? Wout lost the sprint to Olympic champion Remco… after both of them dropped Pidcock on a climb earlier. That sounds like an improvement over 2021 to me.

Was he exceptional in the Tour de France in 2021? Absolutely. I would expect something similar in 2025.
