Pippo Hugging Joshy At Track Nations Cup In Adelaide C:

Tina about learning from Nando and Lance 😭💚

pardon me sappy emotional post coming up:

egan bernal just won the colombian national road race. now i first started watching cycling properly in 2019 and egan was the first rider i really fell in love with. after that horrific crash in 2022 it’s honestly been so brilliant just to see him racing, i’ve been so excited just seeing him in breaks.

i saw an interview with him at the start of the 2023 tour and he said it didn’t matter to him if he never won anything again, he was just so happy to be back in a peloton again.

and now he’s won the national title in both the itt and the road race. first wins since the giro in 2021. i barely every cry at this sport but this got me.

2025 is the year of egan guys COME ON

Forever wishing merc admin would do something about the amount of shitty comments they get about George. Bc god forbid they post about their other driver 🙄 like yes you can not rise to it and ignore it but bloody hell it’s so much and shouldn’t just be accepted..

Hoping for much more peaceful comment sections once the cult leaves but until then.. pls acknowledge it. Call them out. Do something about it.

Pit debrief put out an article collating the drivers opinions on the Alonso Brake check incident (here)

Lewis being one of the only drivers sympathising with George’s fear, being concerned for him, and calling out Alonso’s behavior as unjustifiable where other drivers said George should have just expected it…

Hamilton added that he didn’t “understand” Alonso’s move, pointing out that Russell found himself in a precarious position as a result.

“The stewards obviously found a reason to penalise. If I try to put myself in Fernando’s position I can’t understand the manoeuvre, but I’m just glad that George is safe. It’s a frightening position to be in, in the middle of the track, with cars coming around at great speeds.”

It’s almost like the guy who’s had to deal with Alonso the longest, including being his teammate, might know exactly what he was trying to do.

😭😭 IS HE OLD ENOUGH TO BE A TEACHER

so next season of women's cycling will have :

the legend anna van der breggen coming back from retirement to try to win the tour

the OTHER LEGEND pauline ferrand prevot coming back to road cycling to try to win the tour

demi vollering with actual teammates teaming up with juliette labous and evita muzic

cecilie uttrup ludwig teaming up with kasia in what will probably be the most likable duo in the peloton

Duolingo is really effectively preparing me for that meeting with Wout van Aert. I can’t wait to ask him if he’s an apple. I’ve always wondered.

I mean this with genuine sincerity, which I'm sure will be immediately rebuffed, but it is actually heartbreaking to see the steady decline into conspiratorial madness of some Lewis fans. Some people I used to find really funny and have a lot of respect for just... consumed by something irrational and motivated by an echo chamber of their own making. It must be so tiring to be in such a perpetual state of anger and suspicion all the time?
