Round One, Match Eleven: Michael Mørkøv v. Simon Geschke
Michael Mørkøv Propaganda
Incredible leadout man whom I saw forced to try and explain the mechanics of a leadout + sprint on TV using toy cars this last tdf. Was the lanterne rouge after his sprinter abandoned which earns him my sympathies especially as he remained grounded in his expectations yet slightly optimistic in the face of adversity. Danish nickname "Svanen fra banen" - "The swan from the track", which doesn't rhyme as well because we mustn't let road racing results distract from how he's been world champion on track. He is on the older side and a capital-D Dad, but we may see him sprint with Cavendish next year and I for one am excited about the possibility.
Simon Geschke Propaganda
Personal: Simon Geschke is an old man with a magnificent beard, born in East-Berlin (a soft pisces with a fiery aries moon, we stan a king) and despite living in the south of Germany for a while now he never lost his perfect accent and his dry pragmatic way of looking at the world. He is vegan and has a french bulldog (which...okay...), and his favorite hobby is fiddling with his Schwalbe, a vintage GDR scooter.
Professional: The son of a track cycling world champion probably learned to bike before he learned to walk. Now he rides for Cofidis as a mountain specialist and helper for Guillaume Martin. Biggest moment was gaining the polka dot jersey in the 2022 Tour de France. He held it for nine days and did a special and adorable video for KIKA, the kid's channel, where he counted all the dots on the jersey for the kids. There are 75 dots. Here is the video:

Welcome to the Tumblr’s Favourite Cyclist tournament!
This tournament is focused on the men’s peloton. If there’s demand for it and if I have the time, I’ll do poll for the women’s peloton after this.
You can submit a cyclist for the tournament by messaging this account with the cyclist you’d like to submit, and some propaganda for them too. For a cyclist to be eligible for submission, they have to have been active this year. Cyclists who retired at some point this year are permitted. You can submit anywhere up to five cyclists, but you do not have to submit that many if you don’t want to.
There will be 32 slots overall, but 6 of these slots will be filled by The Big Six (Pogačar, Vingegaard, Evenepoel, Roglič, van Aert and van Der Poel) who will get in automatically. That leaves 26 free slots for any other cyclists, no matter how obscure, who you may like to submit.
Submissions will initially be open for a week, but if we do not have enough cyclists by then I’ll keep them open longer and people who’ve submitted the maximum amount will be allowed more.
If there are more than 26 cyclists submitted, ones with the most submissions will get in. If there are ties for number of submissions that means that it is still unclear, we will run prelims.
In the tournament, each poll will last one week.
This tournament is run by @arriere-du-peloton.

Round One, Match One: Jasper Philipsen v. Sepp Kuss
Jasper Philipsen Propaganda:
I have a soft spot for a somewhat cocky, pretty sprinter
Sepp Kuss Propaganda:
Vuelta 2023, need I say more. And he even brought his dog there with its little special pass.
you absolutely cannot forget world's greatest domestique and 2023 Vuelta winner (GC Kuss!!!!)
The little domestique that could! He has been steadily working for tjv, been integral in their victories, just participated in all 3 grand tours, helped lead the team to victory, and won one himself. He's also cute af, married a spanish woman and speaks the language well. Oh, and he has an adorable puppy. He is an adorable puppy
