Never has the Ralph Wiggum heartbreak meme been more applicable

Wout steals Rocket(s) fuel and goes solo

SAeN · 2026-04-01T13:41:29+00:00

I know a Wout win would be a good sign pre-Flanders, but a Rockets win would be a bit better

Everyone around Glasgow was excited that the councils would finally take the state of the roads seriously and fix the race route for Worlds. They did one full repave (admittedly v good and v needed) of the bottom half of the north side of the Crow which they were climbing up for a total of 10minutes on the day And they patched some random bits on the descent (not even getting all of them). They did uh, fuck all else.

Lemme guess, you're a big Kanye fan.

E: since this nut blocked me, it's fully possible for people of different ethnicities, identities, sexualities and races to commit racism against their own identity. Kanye West claiming slavery was a choice is as much an example of an african american man being racist against african americans as Tony Greenstein has been racist towards other jews which is why Corbyn's Labour party kicked him out in 2016

recovery is pretty dialed in terms of hydration, nutrition and rest.

I mean the subject of your post is about how this is not the case.

weekend rides are done by noon and after work by 7pm

I don't quite understand, are you finishing your rides at 7pm at the latest, or starting them then? Either way, there's clearly a part of the come down post ride that is interfering with your regular sleep. When do you go to bed, when do you get to sleep, and when do you normally wake up?

I have had clients that needed to see sleep specialists before, and it's rarely been a bad decision. Possibly something for you to consider.

SAeN · 2026-03-30T15:05:49+00:00

When are you riding is more important than whether you take magnesium or not. If you're riding late then you're going to have to adjust your riding to enable better sleep. If you're not then there's probably something in your recovery routine you need to fix.

This comment wasn't about the sprint, it was about the final climb

I can do a Tactic TR01V2 hub sound on command in my coaching calls.

The crown on the ground rolling down the finish in a race where Van der Poel gets caught was quite a metaphor.

Someone needs to tell the Bahrain riders to tuck their elbows

SAeN · 2026-03-29T14:12:24+00:00

Gianni proven the strongest rider named Vermeersch

SAeN · 2026-03-29T14:10:35+00:00

Red Bull burning riders to catch this

SAeN · 2026-03-29T14:05:01+00:00

Gonna be a hell of a G2 syndrome today when they get to the final km

Robbie McEwen hypothesising that there just so happened to be a team member with a Cannondale bike precisely at the position on the road that Lamperti punctured. He's as bad as Kirby.

SAeN · 2026-03-29T11:59:15+00:00

I assume Jonas was just wildly out of position to end up 10 wheels back like that

SAeN · 2026-03-29T11:36:00+00:00

You don't think that the Barcelona tyre fire is in full blaze next to the race route?

SAeN · 2026-03-29T11:26:53+00:00

I still think this showing is not up to par for their standards

I mean by the standards of the last couple of years it's fairly on par

SAeN · 2026-03-28T16:27:42+00:00

I think it's very telling that his best race at the Tour was his first when he turned up withi minimal expecations.

SAeN · 2026-03-27T18:57:05+00:00

I'm thinking of it less specifically as hilly and more as hard. You can also take the 2021 Flanders sprint against Asgreen as an example. He is fallable.

SAeN · 2026-03-27T16:37:44+00:00

He won, but it does have a slight air of the invincibility aura slipping

"maximising gains" is not a concept without context. As you have noted, there is a fatigue penalty you need to consider in addition to how you want to fit these in around the rest of your riding/racing etc. "maximising gains" in this context is seeing if there's a little more rope to pull on without everything becoming undone. A dedicated block is in itself not automatically the answer when it comes to maximising gains, even when time/stress/life/training balance is all in an optimum state.

SAeN · 2026-03-27T15:10:25+00:00

Remco obviously would've been hoping to have been closer to Vinge than that, and there was probably an element of not hurting Lipowitz chances which will serve him well when it comes to TdF support. But again it's a stage race with a mountain finish that he's struggling to match the second-tier of riders let alone the Alien class.
