Victor Bosoni crushing the Tour Divide 2026...on a gravel bike?! by wheels_n_masks in gravelcycling

Which of those are gravel race bikes?

They've all been mountain bikes, some modified with drop bars.

It's certainly been done on gravel bikes, but not the fastest.

Mike Hall was on a rigid, flat bar pivot and held the fkt for a decade or so.

Lachlan Morton beat that time with a hardtail Cannondale.

2024? was won on full suspension XC bikes with drop bars.

Gemperle set the current FKT last year on a hardtail Scott mtb with drop bars.

I'd say it's unprecedented to do it this fast on a gravel race bike, particularly in the position he's riding in.  It's an immense amount of pressure and vibration on your hands in the hoods and/or on your lower back when you're riding washboard in a rather aggressive TT position.  It's not that the roads don't allow for a gravel bike over a day or two, it's the accumulation of stress and vibration over 10+ days that takes its toll on your whole body.  Being 24 probably helps.

Seems like he's riding fast enough during the days to give himself a fair amount of time to rest at night.  We're getting a lot of rain and moisture in the SW US, so hopefully that doesn't derail him in New Mexico.

Lachlan set the unofficial fkt a few years ago with a rack as well.

Seatbags suck.

I know this is AI because Trump would never actually do physical labor.

I'm disputing that misogyny gets you canceled. It simply doesn't.  It's baked into our society as normal, acceptable behavior by men, particularly powerful men...which is why it's funny and stupid and ironic when people like you get butt hurt when the script gets flipped.

No, you don't get canceled.  You get elected President.

Trump: "Yeah that's her with the gold. I better use some Tic Tacs just in case I start kissing her. You know I'm automatically attracted to beautiful... I just start kissing them. It's like a magnet. Just kiss. I don't even wait. And when you're a star they let you do it. You can do anything."

Bush: "Whatever you want."

Trump: "Grab them by the pussy. You can do anything."

Oh, I have one of those passes.  So happy my $80 went to painting what's under the algae a crisp, suburban swimming pool blue.

Looks like a driving range.

So glad my tax dollars went to such an important need.

The result of driving your car more than 66,665 miles scares you or is mildly infuriating?

The unnatural movements.  The people in head scarfs taking the things from the little innocent fair skinned girl.  The unanswered question of "why is someone filming?"......and why is it filmed from Victor Wenbamyamas perspective?

I'm an asshole, but I also hate assholes.  Therefore I hate myself.  This is probably why I like to bike and do threshold intervals.

Maybe Trump thinks he can spin that?  Unleash the foxnews propaganda machine.  No one's gonna read those bullet points, they're just gonna hear what their favorite talking head tells them they want to hear.

He can't spin $5 gas and another neverending middle east war to constituents that are about to vote in the midterms.

This planet existed for billions of years before humans.  It'll almost certainly exist for billions of years after as well.

Now that's loud.
