We’re almost to TDU, which is definitely a real race and not an excuse for Aussies to get more drunk

I like TDU because it’s one of the few non-Tour races on Peacock.

There’s no way Ewan is doping, look at his last few years of race results!!!

I don't know about generally, but Froome's positive test in 2017 certainly had to get leaked like half a year later

Also, I don't think I had ever consciously seen this:

35% of all crashes last year (44% if you include idiots charging for choke points) were caused by 'Unprovoked Rider Error' which is a very polite way of saying Wout cant ride anymore.

That's quite a low proportion considering it should be 100% of crashes

I was surprised the women’s tdu was only 3 stages this year - had that always been the case or was this years extra short for some reason?

2014 (first edition) had three stages, 2015-2020 had four, 2021 and 2022 were cancelled for reasons, and it's been three stages again since then (concomitant with WWT status)

lol Caleb Ewan is joining Ineos


also: 124 Productions is a neat YT channel making videos on the history of pro cycling, usually either "X rider's Four Biggest Wins" but there's also some other stuff like this retrospective series on the '03 Tour that just wrapped up:

Looks like Eurosport is being demised in the UK, with the whole Warner Bros Discovery sports portfolio being consolidated under TNT. Anyone using a Discovery+ subscription for the cycling will need to pay for an upgrade to get TNT streaming. Sad.

It's going from 6.99 a month to 30.99 a month to watch cycling.

Absolutely no way.

Also Wout has to pay 600,000 euros for terminating goods contact to join jumbo.

Yeah I'm not paying for cycling streaming at the moment. Though it's 'only' doubled in price to 15 euros on HBO max compared to the old Eurosport/GCN app.

Luckily they haven't stopped Eurosport on :geert: TV (yet) and that has a 7 day catch up period, so I can still watch everything when I like. If they stop that then there's always Sporza tbf
