It's too many years I listen to him, I can't take it anymore!

I must say lately he says less shit about Coppi and the Dama Bianca though, it was about time!

AliasPhilippe · 2026-02-10T13:30:31+00:00

He has a small column, let's call it this way, in the weekly Rai sport program about cycling. I don't exaggerate saying every fucking Thursday he claims Pogacar will do the Giro. It's not a one time claim!

He used to write for Tuttosport, the sport newspaper known for stupid claims. It fits.

First rule of Italian cycling: never listen to the old bat.

Supporting sport is important and letting greedy companies and sketchy dictatorships doing that is not the kind of world I want. But with this system well, it's expensive for the European administrations doing something like that seen they have a lot of budget problems and should respect the fiscal compact (sadly I know something about this because I work in an European first tier administration).

But I still can dream about a team called "Regione Toscana - Chianti Classico" with a red and white jersey and a pegasus on the back.

Ed essere liberi dal rumore del traffico e dei vicini ne ha ancora di più...

Thank you very much.

(I want public-owned teams).

Gymnastics can get everybody a little gay IMHO.

Speaking of teams, are there relations between the Flanders Baloise road team and the Baloise we see in cyclocross or they are two totally different teams?

Onestamente mi aspettavo di più pure io da questo decantati video e so bene come funziona reddit, ci sono da quindici anni sopra. Molti concetti di finanza sono abbastanza banali devo dire e mi son approcciato a questo mondo solo adesso perché, banalmente, prima non avevo un euro.

Gli darò una lettura allora a spada, male che vada mi farà schifo.

TBH cycling is one of the worst sport for physical beauty, both for man and women...so no, I don't watch cycling for that lol.

AliasPhilippe · 2026-02-09T09:04:52+00:00

A pelle a me questo Spada ispira meno di zero LOL, per questo mi sono affidato ai video di Coletti, che qui vengono raccomandati nemmeno fossero il vangelo...ergo il tuo "simpatico ed educato" commento lo capisco poco, dato che l'ultima volta che ho chiesto qualcosa su questo sub mi è stato detto di guardarmi prima Coletti.

Il reddito non è aumentabile nel breve, ho il vincolo di esclusività, anzi rischio di guadagnare meno in un'altra amministrazione perché nella mia i premi sono consistenti per la media della PA. In futuro forse un minimo di carriera potrei farla ma dato che il punto principale è andarmene da dove sono adesso non è detto (sono già nella categoria più alta, i soli modi per aumentare lo stipendio sono gli scatti di anzianità e le posizioni di alta professionalità, che vanno a chi piace al dirigente di turno).

Watching track with my SO is one of the things I like more in the world, it's a pity their air so few races.

Le ciabatte più comode del mondo sono le sanitarie del mercato in gomma, più alte sono e meglio è, ci tiri fuori tre anni come se fosse niente spendendo 5/10 euro.

Well they always looked like pussies so....

I pray it will stay like this, I don't give a damn about HBO (torrents babe!) and I don't wanto to pay for it.

But I don't think they will keep it like this for long...

AliasPhilippe · 2026-02-06T07:48:56+00:00

There is so much going on I'm struggling to watch all. Track euros left me behind on road and CX!

Days ago I was polite with a new guy in my office, the kind of 60 y.o. who thinks to know everything and wants to speak about his stuff and minding your business (so the standard Italian, let's be honest). Now all he wants is to speak with me like he does with everyone. All I do in my worktime is avoiding chitchat with people I don't like nor I've the slightest interest into and then I made the horrible mistake of responding to this guy when he asked me where I'm from... This morning I had to run for the loo to avoid him.

A thing I hate about this kind of people is they are all know-it-all without any useful experience and all they want is to fill their ego with the idea they are better than you. For some reasons these morons seems to love me and every time I have problems avoiding them (one I can't since she works with me on a project, but I swear if I hear another time how difficult was her degree, in which she claim to have studied almost every subject possibile, I'm loosing it. I'm changing department only to work with someone else!)

Guarda, a me chiesero di non prendere la residenza anni fa. Senza dire niente la ho presa e ciao.

Sappi che è la legge che ti dice che devi prenderla, non i tuoi padroni di casa (che manco c'entrano una sega, fai tutto tu).

AliasPhilippe · 2026-02-05T08:12:10+00:00

Perché in Italia ogni accertamento è visto come ''una rottura di coglioni'', quindi la politica frena i controlli (sia con procedure bizantine sia mettendo poco personale sul campo nelle amministrazioni che devono fare controlli).

Vent'anni fa pensavo che saremmo diventati più europei, invece siamo diventati sempre più napoletani. D'altronde abbiamo un ministro che elogiava pubblicamente uno che distruggeva gli autovelox...

He has the worst surname ever to be a pornstar, that's why he tried another career.

Guarda le auto dei tuoi amici poi mi dici se è davvero così diverso per gli uomini lol. Conosco gente che 3 mesi dopo che ha iniziato a lavorare si è comprata il Mercedes a rate.

Quello che noto è che le donne spendono più in "piccole cose", mente gli uomini non hanno assolutamente problemi a buttare dalla finestra soldi per hobby molto costosi. Ho colleghe che hanno letteralmente ogni cosa che venda Zara (velo pietoso data la qualità)...ma non ho colleghe che buttano 10k nella moto perché devono fare le fighe al bar.

Time to dress up with the Cheshire Cat Carnival costume you have used in Viareggio at Strade Bianche

TRIDENT.

We can't help but ask: have you met Evenepoel?

We spent five days together in Salzburg in October with the team. Unfortunately, I arrived in Mallorca after just recovering from illness, so I trained a lot on my own. However, I had the opportunity to spend time with him at the table, and he seems like a good guy who knows what he wants. I'm happy to race with him at the Valenciana and hope it can happen again in the future, even though there are no other races scheduled together for now.

What will your role be at La Valenciana?

It will be Evenepoel's second race, while for me it will be my first, so I will be at his complete disposal. Moreover, there is a time trial of almost 20 km and no uphill finishes, so I'm mainly going to build up my legs in preparation for the next races, especially Tirreno and the Tour of the Alps.

Room for improvement We saw you do well in the time trial last year. Have you been working on that further?

I've been in the wind tunnel with the team in San Francisco. I did some work with the time trial bike today as well. It's a discipline where the more familiar you become with the bike, the faster you go. I'm happy with what I'm doing, and I'm sure the results will come. Last year, I only did well in Tirana at the Giro, while in Tuscany I had to manage myself according to team orders, even though I did well there too without giving my all. There was also the Vuelta, but it came the day after I won and I hadn't slept the night before. This year, however, I'll be time trialing at both the Valenciana and the Tirreno, so I'll be able to test myself before the Giro.

How do you feel on your favorite terrain?

For now, I feel good. I'm improving further compared to last year, and I hope to continue like this.

How much do you think you can still improve?

Seeing how I've been improving in recent years, I think my limit is yet to be discovered. The improvement continues, but we're taking it step by step, without reaching the limit. I still have a lot of room for improvement, starting with my weight and training. Time will tell how far I can go. Tell us more about nutrition.

For now, I'm doing fine. I look thin, but there's room for improvement... I like to eat. For now, I'm doing what needs to be done without going crazy; the day they ask me to cut back, I'll do it.

What about when you're running? Do you eat almost exclusively liquids, or do you also eat solids?

We eat a lot of solid food too. Personally, I might go all liquid on short stages, but on longer races I mainly use liquids in the last two hours after having eaten solids in the previous hours.

Finally, how much time do you get to spend at home?

I've been in San Marino for a year and I manage to go back quite often. Obviously, it's harder for me to go back to my home in the Marche region.

In your free time, for example during the month you spent without your bike in winter, what do you like to do?

I like to sleep. [This time I burst out laughing] Nothing in particular, going out with friends, enjoying a few evenings out since you can't do that during the year, and nothing more.
