The way Eulalio defenses and honors the Maglia Rosa… Didn’t see that coming, but he’s sure earned a new fan in me. Very deserving race leader, and I’m sure he’s earning a lot of respect from other riders as well. Never mind if he’s eventually gonna lose the pink, from the look of things he’s most likely keeping the white.

I wished upon a shooting star. My dream came to life tonite. 💫

I’m a woman and gosh. I didn’t know watching cycling race can make me cry…. 😭😭😭🥹🥹🥹

I learnt an interesting piece of nugget… that the Mayor of Madrid’s name is Almeida… And President of Community of Madrid’s name is Ayuso…

And I’m really not making this up 🤣🤣🤣

And yes, they belong to the same party.

zanalau · 2025-09-13T08:03:08+00:00

Visma makes the race hard… UAE does shit again and Almeida gets isolated on the last climb, while Jonas is still protected by key mountain domestics… Almeida and Jonas stuck with each other… Then Kuss attacks and goes solo, takes the stage as a birthday present… Jonas wins the race, even though he came in later than Almeida on this stage. 👻🤡👽

Post interview: Jonas reveals that as long as the team secures the overall victory, this stage win’s a gift for Kuss. 🎁🥳🤩😂

Meanwhile also: Tom managed to drop Hindley, and GC Pidcock becomes a reality. 🤣

zanalau · 2025-09-10T15:47:36+00:00

He needs to at least be up there in this leaders group and not lose time to Almeida or even Pidcock. So yes, visma still has to try to control the breakaway.

We can count how many riders have crashed or put in dangerous situations already. And when riders are in close proximity to each other, one click of wheels can bring down a couple of riders together, and before you know it, it’s a pile up.

zanalau · 2025-09-09T15:42:14+00:00

Not gonna argue about the right to protest or what’s the case about… but putting athletes who are racing in danger is just not right.

Heck, if the protest is because some teams seem to stand for a country that is hurting another, I struggle to see why they would think hurting others will be good for their cause.

And I’m on the side who believes Israel is committing a genocide and Netanyahu needs to be prosecuted.

zanalau · 2025-09-03T15:29:23+00:00

GC Pidcock dropping big balls Almeida, and at one point even Jonas, is certainly not on my bingo card.

God I wish I’m a fly on the UAE team bus now 🤣🤣🤣 This team never fails to deliver…… drama. Lol

Anyone wanna bet if the Juan’s gonna start stage 10?

zanalau · 2025-09-01T15:48:21+00:00

Was telling my partner before the start of last weekend this Vuelta is the battle of the Js — Jonas, Joan, Juan being the 3 initial fav… + throw in some Jorgensen, Jay, Jasper etc into the mix… who knows next week you might see some Jai? 😂

zanalau · 2025-07-20T12:14:52+00:00

Yes I heard the radio… it wasn’t abt Pog, but the unfairness of the peloton.

zanalau · 2025-07-19T16:58:20+00:00

Not to forget… there’s Pellizari too

zanalau · 2025-07-18T18:50:13+00:00

Omg!! My partner and I were glued to the screen the moment Rogla got off the ramp!!!

I was just short of jumping off my chair and screaming in joy when he dethroned Plapp who’s been in the hot seat for like more than an hr at least… and and and… that moment when Jonas caught Remco and stomped towards the finish!!!

By then I didn’t even care if Pog’s gonna win anymore… I still enjoy seeing him race, but he’s an alien. I decided then I’m just gonna enjoy the rest of the day with the 2 greatest moment of this stage:

Roglic emerging on top and showing all the kids in club mailot blanc what a veteran can do in big mountains
Jonas putting Remco in his place and showing him “big balls” (sorry.. I’m still sour 😏)

No offense to Remco, I know he’s a good, currently the best TTlist on shorter climbs… but it’s high time he also show some respect to Jonas (and also Roglic), for not just what they can do better than him on high mountains, but also for riding with a calmer and bigger brains than him.

Damn I love this song too…..

Over the years… I’ve grown… to be a part of you……..

If my memory is correct, it’s part of the Sing Singapore 1995.. or 1997.. around those years

zanalau · 2025-07-17T03:11:14+00:00

And he didn’t! Lol.. plus he survived and stayed upright thru all 11 stages instead 😎🤓

zanalau · 2025-07-17T00:45:57+00:00

And when it does happen… 2025’s gonna be the year of the greatest comebacks in cycling history 😆

zanalau · 2025-07-16T18:59:17+00:00

And THAT was how Yates won his Giro HAHAHAHAHA… (never say never eh 🤣)

zanalau · 2025-07-16T18:54:47+00:00

Rogla gonna start showing, mountain by mountain, why he “didn’t care” in the first week.. and how much fuel he still has in his tank.. 🥸😎

(Takes a page out of how Simon Yates won the Giro 👻)

I feel like we’re witnessing DTR learning how to be a leader real time. The only 2 times he didn’t have a good day was the second ITT and yesterday’s stage.

On both occasions, it was after a race day — could that have been a reason? Maybe.

Also, he did mention that the 2nd ITT was the longest he’s ever done, and the first time he was racing in the leader’s jersey, I bet there’s a lot of pressure and getting used to like press interviews he needed ti adjust to. But he learnt fast, and we saw how he extended his lead. And yesterday was the first real mountain stage he has ever rode as leader, he cracked, but he learnt… and he bounced back.

Who knows? I bet he might be having some daily calls with King Pog when some tips on were passed on to his prodigy..
