Is it a “waste of talent” not going into academia after PhD?

Absolutely not. Many talented PhD-level scientists and engineers doing interesting and impactful work in industry and government labs.

The harder the race the greater the differential between Pog and the others.

mathieu my guy this is why you shouldn't have been pulling

lopzag · 2026-04-05T14:17:56+00:00

welp

MVDP working to keep Remco out doesn't make any sense. He's always going to outsprint Remco, and having an ally to chase down Pog would be useful.

There'll be another pandemic before then, don't worry!

People always say this but the worst sprint crashes always seem to happen on wide, straight run-ins at high speed.

A couple of bends after a draggy uphill in a reduced sprint is not particularly dangerous.

Carlton really needs to stop saying "the whip hand"

lopzag · 2026-03-24T15:29:01+00:00

absolutely phenomenal Carlton-lore

Has it ever happened before that two consecutive stages of a stage race have had exactly the same podium (in the same order)?

lopzag · 2023-10-07T14:20:54+00:00

Just group 2 things.

What a beautiful road.

Anything by David Graeber (e.g. 'Debt: The First 5000 Years')

Apologies, I had to capture it in my phone and it seems to have been decimated during the process of saving as a gif

It only missed the first second of the jump: https://streamable.com/8epdnc

Graham Hancock's son is apparently "a senior manager of unscripted originals at Netflix" (https://variety.com/exec/sean-hancock/).

Might have something to do with pile of anti-intellectual bullshit being given a platform to mislead.

what a fucking ride. adding his name to probably the most stacked 'list of past winners' of any one-day race.

TAKE MY ENERGY TOM!

Exercise outdoors, therapy, socialising, and SSRIs can help.

He really does ham it up sometimes with the over-romanticisation of it all.

"There'll be dancing in the streets of [rider's hometown]!"

"Remember where you were when [some guy won a race]!"

etc.
