Newbie question after reading some of the olympic thread posts. I remember there was a stage at the end of the first week of the Tour where Wout van Aert lost like 20 minutes in the GC. Would he have maybe done that on purpose to get some freedom to win stages or was it just a bad day?

New American cycling fan here (started watching during the 2020 season). Would someone give me a primer on doping in modern cycling? How firm is the “cheating” line, and is everybody actively crossing it? Do fans even care? I can’t tell if the Slovenian sauce jokes are serious or not.

It is very funny sad to watch the GCN highlights of the Dauphine and they sound great but then the Womens Tour highlights sound like they were recorded in a shower

Is Alaphilippe still injured? Why wouldn’t you take your cool French star to the Tour de France?

Quick question before the Tour:

In terms of pro sports how popular is cycling in Europe? I’m assuming football is far and away #1 but are there countries where cycling is the #2 or 3 sport? If someone could make an analogy to American pro sports that would be great.

There’s a not insignificant chance that Pog actually had covid given that his teammates had it. We’ll never know though

Ease up, no disrespect intended. This has been the most exciting race I’ve seen, and the two of them are both absolute champions. Clearly pogacar is not ill. That was trying to be a “hmm no positive tests before the Superbowl lol” but for uci/the race organizers.

Easy win for van vleuten.

How connected are the Movistar mens and womens teams? Could get really awkward around the office.

Tangential cycling news: Silicon Valley Bank, third title sponsor of the women’s EF-Tibco-SVB squad, is going through a bit of a bank run right now:

Edit: bank failed, federal and state regulators have shut it down and taken over

Man if I’m the GCN highlights guy I would, I don’t know, make it seem like I watched the video before doing the commentary? Do more than one take?

Could someone explain the situation where Spanish cycling isn’t letting former Zaaf cyclists ride La Vuelta? I’m getting this all from twitter headlines but Zaaf wasn’t paying its riders? Why would you stick up for a company that can’t make payroll?

For some reason two different free digital channels are showing the giro on my Samsung TV. Shout out to both beIN sports xtra and fubo sports network. :iiam:

Jokes on me because beIN/fubo had a commercial break with 1.4km to go, literally right at the finish.

Some high level commentary :psyduck: “He’s now looking to win his ninth stage just around the corner from Laruns…” “Ten stage wins in his career.. at the line. Tadej Pogacar reversing his fortunes from yesterday. UAE tried to take it to Jumbo yesterday, that didn’t happen, BUT it was UAE’s Tadej Pogacar taking it to Jumbo’s squad on todays stage.”

You’re in luck because Paris-Roubaux Femmes and La Vuelta Feminina were both great races this year so watch those replays.

Voxwomen is a site that only covers women’s cycling. Just like founder Anthony McCrossan it’s solid but dry. And then posters here don’t like them because they’re dicks, but Lantern Rouge does the same YouTube recaps for the women’s races as the men.

combined with a legitimately amazing field of upwards of 20+ GC contenders (and not just primary and secondary GC, like with the mens Tour de France), means that there's basically no telling who's going to win.

What makes you say real contenders? Won’t it just be a Vollering and van Vleuten duel?

Asgreen said after he wished the break had more like 7-8 riders, but I totally think an 8 rider breakaway would have hosed it up.
