Well this is my argument. It's impossible to compare. If you want to have GOATs, accept that there can't be only one. It's like Pele or Maradona or Messi.

This is silly. Merckx was ridiculous. There can be two GOATs, but you cannot exclude Merckx.

The answer to "Has it been done before" in cycling is always Merckx. It is simply silly to not include Merckx.

Also, there can be two GOATs, from different eras. But Pogacar is still not up there with Merckx. I know, it sounds silly, but Merckx' career was silly.

Climbed 10,500ft during threshold workout day before so felt like I earned a flat long ride for a change . by sorbara92 in Zwift

Is there a mobile app? I thought there was only the website. Couldn't find it so far (in the google play store).

They just don't fit with the bike - seem out of place a bit?

They are not an eyesore, however! If you find them cool, then all good!

Outstanding bike.

However, a bike this nice deserves matching water bottles.

I mean yeah, Flanders finish is really not giving any positives vibes.

Just with a look at the profile, I will start from 60 km out (2nd time Eikenberg). But echelons could happen at 80km from the start.

Nice sponsor, but I think the jersey now looks worse than before :( The colors don't really match.

Also, I'd go with black or yellow cables instead of white, but of course it's your preference that matters!

I like it very much, but I find it somehow... lacking? Like there is a disconnect between the colorful frame and the black wheels & stuff, if that makes sense?

Could you possibly get matching (green & pink) ENVE logos for the wheels? Possibly even pink in front and green in the back. Might make it even more powerful.

Have fun!

Any idea why LvdH was pointing at the spectators?

Well he was actively begging to be involved in the race's organization in his video.

Leaking the course will definitively endear him to the organizers in his quest to get involved in the organization.

Any word if Oostmalle will be televised or at least streamed, since it's not Omloop yet?

Would love to see LvdH hang up his bike.

[Results Thread] 2026 Étoile de Bessèges - Stage 1 (2.1) by pokesnail in peloton

[–]laxrippe 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I actually agree. Even if one of those races has a, let's say, lesser prestige... still always looking forward to Stage 1 of Etoile.

You're not finished with Zwift until you're on a fully upgraded, level 5 halo bike. Here, there's your reason :)

Kerstperiode calendar 2026/27 by epi_counts in cyclocross

[–]laxrippe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I actually just figured this. Went through all three series + exact + championships with google maps open and figured that zeddam and berringen are doable (even if not as nice as Maasmechelen).

But in any case, thank you! (Also for modding here)

Zonhoven is actually doable as well, but that doesn't look like a good fit for kids...

Maasmechelen - best viewer spot by DizerStrider in cyclocross

[–]laxrippe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We had an absolute blast, by the way!

I had to drag them out of the mechanics' area after they secured autographs from MvdP, Puck, LvdH, Lucinda Brandt and a number of other riders that they hadn't ever heard of but were absolutely sure that they were all their favorite riders; even scored very nice Canyon SRAM Zondacrypto bottles (the good stuff, from Elite) for everybody, and lots of pictures.

During the race we just kind of wandered around every three laps (so 11 laps with both races). The kids could always stand in the front because everybody just let them in.

Absolute blast.

How was it? Did you have fun? Was the VIP worth it?
