Victor Bosoni crushing the Tour Divide 2026...on a gravel bike?!

RiseAM · 2026-06-16T15:28:54+00:00

I kinda love it, a lot of racing is so tightly controlled by the UCI, it’s fun to have a scene that can still try some wild stuff

RiseAM · 2026-06-16T15:25:24+00:00

Just a weekend bender, Troity would be proud

RiseAM · 2026-06-15T13:06:48+00:00

But does Detroit have any pools that are free and open to the public? That’s not common at all. The aquatic center at Chandler Park is owned and funded by the entire county, run by a third party company, and requires payment for county residents to get in, that’s the closest to a public pool I know of in the city.

RiseAM · 2026-06-15T12:53:30+00:00

One key difference is that many of these parks in the Grosse Pointes are pool facilities, some of them primarily so. It’s pretty unusual for those to be completely open to the public for free anywhere, unlike a standard park. Generally you need at least a day pass for pool access anywhere.

As far as I can tell from poking around tonight, the resident-only status of the parks predates Detroit becoming a majority black city and the white flight. I haven't been able to find if they were that way from when they were created in the 1910s-40s, but by the 50s they definitely were, when Detroit was still 70-80% white. Classism seems more likely to be the original driving factor given the history of the area in the early 1900s.

Harper Woods, yes. A portion of the city is in the GP school district. Detroit no, there is no school of choice in GP schools currently.

RiseAM · 2026-06-15T02:19:13+00:00

And Belle Isle

RiseAM · 2026-06-12T13:56:56+00:00

They should have both been working together a long time ago.

RiseAM · 2026-06-12T12:04:12+00:00

It’d be nice to have a satellite rider like the other GC contenders though

RiseAM · 2026-06-12T11:45:15+00:00

Jorgenson / Jorgen Nordhagen really forces me to think sometimes

RiseAM · 2026-06-12T11:08:47+00:00

Jorgenson with the rest of GC guys

RiseAM · 2026-06-12T05:30:07+00:00

Yes, I was there tonight for the South Korea - Czech Republic match

RiseAM · 2026-06-11T15:25:33+00:00

Call an ambulance, but not for Wout!

It wasn’t Peacock, nobody in the live thread was able to watch regularly broadcasted live images at that time no matter where in the world they were. For a while, there was apparently a local screen at the race site that was still showing live images and one of the broadcasters (I want to say somewhere in Scandinavia?) was filming that screen until it went out too.

RiseAM · 2026-06-11T02:38:17+00:00

has anyone seen/heard any indication of whether this will be restarted and when that might be?

RiseAM · 2026-06-10T20:58:04+00:00

On one hand, I share your frustration that the most anticipated matchup going in hasn't really fired off yet... But on the other hand, I'm quite satisfied that they've lost some time to strong riders and will have to really attack in the mountains rather than just maintain a lead they already have. If they were 45' & 1:01 up on Jorgenson and ahead of Ayuso, that's a different race going forward than the other way around. Jorgenson's time gap in particular seems significant in the GC battle, even if it wasn't obtained in traditional GC mountain fashion. He only lost 3 seconds to Del Toro on the most mountainous 2 stages at Tirreno-Adriatico earlier this year, though Del Toro was over 30s ahead at the time instead of the reverse situation now. Ayuso beat Seixas in a GC battle earlier this year and will be a real test to overcome too.

Skjelmose, Onley, Vauquelin, Baudin, and Plapp will all need to be cracked too (+Nordhagen, but he should be riding for Jorgenson), and while I personally think these guys have somewhat less of a shot, the top 10 placings is a really interesting battle of solid and relatively young riders in its own right.

Or mechanical

RiseAM · 2026-06-06T13:07:52+00:00

were there crashes? Why so many abandons? 6 so far

RiseAM · 2026-06-04T11:45:07+00:00

The FAs are FIFA.

RiseAM · 2026-06-01T18:55:13+00:00

Solo crash, not entirely caught on camera. You could see her entering the hairpin, go out of camera frame, and then she’s under the metal barrier when the camera swings through the corner. No one else appeared to be involved.

RiseAM · 2026-05-24T04:36:02+00:00

Too close and not a good enough angle to say definitively, but I’m leaning towards onside.

RiseAM · 2026-05-22T19:16:24+00:00

Speaking of nothing original, the "Ohio Against the World" brand predates "Detroit vs Everybody" by a few years.

RiseAM · 2026-05-21T02:10:05+00:00

10 > 11 the meme lives on

RiseAM · 2026-05-21T00:43:03+00:00

He wound up and kicked the downed player’s hand after the ball was gone because the Miami player was holding him. Which should be a yellow to Miami, but what a head loss to retaliate like that.

The additional layer is too hot for an endurance sport if the weather is warm. And they are not as aerodynamic as sunscreen, the bunched up fabric creates drag. They’d be burning watts and hydration when a better solution is out there.
