first for women are sprinterfrauds

>Yana Seel has stepped down as CEO of cycling team UAE Team L’IMAD, the women’s team of UAE Emirates, ahead of the Tour de France Femmes. Multiple sources have confirmed this to Wielerflits. Before the start of the second stage, the team was secretive about Seel’s absence.

where will /ourgirl/ end up now

Kind of based the Denmark team got a win in Denmark. Not a common sight for these national teams to do anything.

>aren't you bored of winning
kek

Updated wiebeswinslol count for 2026: 10-1 (yesterday not even included because it wasn't a large group)

>>110608
you should include yesterday because it would have been easy for them to drop her and they just didn't

Why don't they try? They have two options:
1. Force the race not to end in a mass sprint
2. Train a rider to actually be a sprinter

Why do they not do either of these things

>>110612
lidl did it pretty much perfectly today, it's the other teams that need to send riders with markus
imagine if zoe fartsted was there rotating, they'd have made it

>>110604
>L’IMAD
wait, I missed this

>>110614
zondacrypto was a scam, who knew

>>110614
u mad?

>>110615
zondacrypto was with Canyon
UAE had ADQ before, and ADQ was apparently merely taken over by L'IMAD

>>110612
because they still believe that they can win with their own rider in a sprint, panicking and closing the gaps without daring to gamble on having to make SDWorx work

most women barely do 1/3rd of the strengthwork Wiebes does so even if SDWorx is forced to ride i am pretty sure she still gaps them

>rolf aldag is at canyon sram now

>>110612
the age old question of why riders don't try to actually do something in the face of certain defeat

>>110618
it's weird because sdworx was completely out of riders today and then someone in the jayco car thought:
<today is the day paternoster beats wiebes
the only ones that have ever beaten wiebes fair and square were weightmaxxed kool and balsamo

>>110620
well there was no angle for paternoster to crash anyone out so might as well
also lol jayco have tried sprinting with like 6 different riders and everytime its a 5th place at best

Franzi bros... I worry

>>110622
l-let her cook.. plenty more stages to come

>>110622
losing time for tomorrow bros

did we already talk about Bardet living in a farm shack with no electricity?

>>110625
based and malawipilled

>>110625
also crazy contrast to then be inside and wear a 60.000€ Audemars Piguet watch

why are q365 not sending pidders to poland, surely that's a free GC top 3?

>>110629
is there anyone on the startlist that also did the tdf?
it's a really bad spot, too far out to keep shape and not enough time to recover

>>110630
Kwiatkowski and Biesterbos

>>110631
Having slight doubts about Biestergod, maybe Turd is the one to pick.

>>110629
he's probably back to MTB?

protugalbert is almeida good, what is the grapevine saying

>>110635
Yes, he recovered, adjust.

>>110636
>where he hopes to be able to assert himself physically and psychologically to take the first step towards the second half of the season and to be present at Vuelta with ambitions, because he misses winning. But if it had been his own to decide, I'd rather be on the Tour de Burgos

adjusted out

I believe in /elite/.
Doubters will be punished.

i think i put nine 4 pointers in and have not adjusted since

And what's up with Autismbert? I don't think I've seen his signature joke (or banger as I like to call them) in a while

>>110640
Maybe he is in love again..

>>110640
Last time he ran over some dude's leg...

>>110640
where is he

Maybe he's stuck on autobahn (again) with his vintage car giving up the last breath it had in it

if he doesn't show up this evening I will concern-post every day until he does

Remember when there was legitimate concern that Bertacek died of exposure in the Bohemian alps

>>110645
if he makes a team for poland you know enough

>>110646
it turned out to be very legitimate too

>>110647
maybe someone held him at gunpoint and made him give them his velogames login information

>>110647
Huh he doesn't have a team in yet, now I am concerned

>>110651
he did make one for San Sebastian so should be fine

There was a Bert with d*tch flag who planned a 300 km ride recently, but it couldn't be him because Autismbert doesn't ride a bike.

>>110654
or the austrian bert who rode 5 km and got a heart attack

>>110655
Or the Bertolo who was going to show his wilier after he got back to his ride.

>>110653
that's me, mechanical about 160km in so just gave up and booked a hotel, it will be redone once properly

What I am here every day. I had some very good posts during San Sebastian. There is just no cycling right now. I don't know what this "femmes" is you guys are talking about

I am really FUCKING dreading that Pologne Velogame, what in the absolute FUCK are you supposed to do

And what in the FUCK is that flag suddenly

>>110662
scaroni, he's the key to all of this according to my sources

>>110660
Lame.
I was hoping for some proper drama.

>>110664
16??? What are you trying to do, psyop me?

>>110659
That sucks. What happened?

>>110666
he replaces narvaez who would've been a good pick no?

Langellotti transferred yesterday and immediately starts for Astana. That is a cool Monegasque shirt on PCS btw

>>110668
No because Narváez was terrible. And how does he replace Narváez when Narváez is on a different team

>>110670
what do I know man bert said this

>>110669
How is that allowed? And why would Merda get rid of such a trusted gregario so easily?

>>110667
hit a pothole, then the front derailleur refused to shift to the big ring + everytime my right pedal hit 12 o'clock there was a loud metallic noise, which ended up being the pedal scraping past the front derailleur (it took 20km to figure this out, thought it was the BB)

tried fiddling with the screws to adjust the position which semihelped as it fixed the scraping but FD still refused to shift up, tried adding a link to see if it would go but that didn't fix it either

brought the bike to my LBS, who pretty much said i needed a new FD since i nuked it by scraping past it so many times - good thing i've got other bikes for now

>>110672
Wasn't that guy crazy and a gaming addict or something. Maybe did something to anger Lord Brailsfraud

>>110674
worse
he was a FIFA game addict

>>110673
Wew. At least FD are surprisingly cheap I guess.

ynr camping-bert

>>110677
He won't be out of prison for a long long time

>>110676
one perk of still being on mechanical shifting I guess

ahhh, another velogame
fine
one last team

My kurwateam will either be 1st or dead last

>>110669
veloman didn't get the memo yet

>>110662
Copy my team

>>110683
Similar to mine but I would like to get rid of chutefield before he does his usual trick

huh, where is Mihkels?
adjusting...

>>110683
Ahhh fucken BOICHIS, if I have him in then I am content 100% but I am not sure if I am not fixating again and adjoosting is rather unnecessary.

>>110685
Punished for leaving the team

Ok adjusted, bye Biestergod, you are allowed or even encouraged to suck now.

Bettiol will do something. I can feel it my pedals.

>>110673
>everytime my right pedal hit 12 o'clock there was a loud metallic noise, which ended up being the pedal scraping past the front derailleur
that happens to me every other ride, I just unclip me right foot and kick it delicately until it stopps rubbing. works fine

>>110690
Proper field maintenance.

>Jakobsen to visma lease a bike
Cycling is a joke sport

>>110692
As of this season too apparently, broke his contract with shitnic

>>110692
😬

Uranium fever

>>110696
The staple is gunna happen again.
Wonder if there will be a special promo for the mythical Anaberg.

>>110692

Almeidingzbros...

Hopefully we're at least good enough for our lord and savior to gift us one stage win.

yes well

>>110701
Uber lame

under/over for Pogi stage wins?
under/over for UAE stage wins?

>>110686
I'm the only one following xc but boichis has been dabbing on the frauds there so for 6pts he feels like a good pick

>>110701
FUCK
OFF

>>110701
Lmao this team is so fucking strong. I'd stay clear of Jay's wheel if I were pogi

Lmao, now coomer baiting?

>>110707

Why are there suddenly a bunch of belarussians winning in the Chyna cycling sphere

>>110707

Atleast I don't copy axelgaard with these vlasov picks

>>110729
Don't know who that is. I will have you know I looked at Vlasov's season and it isn't even that bad

How many stages bert? Honestly could be like 10

>>110732
He is going to ride this at 30% and giving every stage to breakaway shitters. Adjust accordingly

Dopeurcar will unironically cost 42 velopoints

He doesn't give a SHIT about Vuelta, just scratch it off the list and move on

>>110733
Novak alone can probably control half of those stages

Pog will take as many stages as he can, he will try to break the record of most stage wins in a single vuelta. He will contest everything there will be no end to it

>>110737
But Freddy Maertens won like 13 in one Vuelta

>>110738
I see 10 stages that end in an uphill finish and a bunch of stages with a decently sized climb before the flat finish. He can easily take those too

>>110732
UAE could unironically win everything except the completely flat stages
Imagine if that team has an actual sprinter

>>110740
Ivo Oliveira wins the sprints. I don't even know if that is the one who can sprint but who gives a fuck

What's with all this doomposting. Just let him win it and then he'll forget about it

>>110742
/cyc/ is absolutely buckbroken by pogis dominance

Nothing can be worse than last year, or 2023

It will be exactly like last year but almeida replaces ayuso

There was a Vuelta last year? I don't remember anything

>>110746
For me all the Vuelta have been won by roglic

what the FUCK is a vuelta

I got Completionist+ in Balatro. Took me about 150 hours. All the other achievements combined was only like 100. So 250 in total. Only Completionist++ left but I don't know whether I am able to do that. Would double the playtime again probably

>>110755

>>110701
All jokes aside, what, in august 2026, is the prevailing explanation why why Pogi is so far ahead of the rest of the athletes in this sport?
Genetics?
I mean like what does the majority of people who understand this sport think?

>>110763
nobody has ever tried to explain it, at all

>>110763
rounder gels

>35degrees heat wave extended by 1 (one) week
bertacek ain't gonna like that

>>110764
Ive been in several discussions with local competition riders (who imo take themselves way too seriously) who act like stung like a bee when i bring up this question. The only answer ive heard from two annoying girls is
>since we are athletes too, we know what it takes and its unfair to him (pog) to deminish all his training etc.

>>110767
They do this every year. They cater to the "sprinting at 5000m" crowd

>>110768
which isnt an answer at all ofcourse.
I find it very curious that so many are just fine with not have an explanation, any explanation -it doesnt have to be doping at all- to this

>>110763
It can't be genetic he wasn't as good as remco in juniors

>>110771
Also if it IS genetics, than what kind specifically... like he clears lactate faster or his vo2 max or something with his blood/lungs oxygen carrying capacity. And why did this apparently change so much in him over the last years? All kinds of interesting questions come out of this simple question: what is/could be the explanation?

>>110768
well there just is no mainstream explanation or if people explain they say talent aka genetics and that's truly it either way but nobody knows which part of genetics that is which is what you're asking. Is it naturally way higher vo2max, way less lactic acid production or just stronger response to dope or something completely different. Nobody knows and there's no point in asking that question anymore so nobody in the media does either.

>>110764
Wasn't the explanation that he had some weird lactate devouring genes or something. I remember something like that

>>110774
If this is true, wouldnt it make sense for top teams to not scout at junior races but do mass genetic testing youths to find similar genes?

>>110775
>Mass genetic testing of youths
These teams are all on the brink of bankruptcy, bert

>>110774
could be yeah the bald fraud did some research on team uae and published a paper in regards to an enzyme that had something to do with this, I have it somewhere I can go look for it later

Keep in mind that the bald fraud undertrained him for years. He could probably handle a much higher load for a long time and they just coasted on his restricted power

>>110777
Id like to see it

>>110772
The anwser is probably very boring, like he's good at every aspect of endurance sport, including recovery and training adpatation

Get a load of this late bloomer clean runner.
https://www.procyclingstats.com/rider/henrique-da-silva-avancini

I know he is a MTB driver but still.

>>110781
18 years of dopage, UCI will make another nice case out of him (will still ignore UAE)

>>110773
>Nobody knows
Is also interesting. Maybe pog himself and UAE dont know either. Which could mean we dont understand a very fundamental thing about our sport. Like for instance with Messi is hard to quantify, but not impossible, how his leg-movement-spacial awareness is top notch, better than most and equal to only very few if you only go by number of succesful passes for example. That is some sort of explanation. But with pog we dont even really have the direction in which to look, it seems.

>>110784
Messi is also an hgh filled midget, nothing natural about him

so is the rumor of Groenewegen to moviestar true?

>>110786
i'll ask him champ

>>110787
cool ty. *thumbs up*

10 km to go in Polska

The signing of Jakobsen is an even bigger mystery than Pogi's dominance

>>110790
Maybe they are desperate for any Dutch riders. Seems like a risky buy though yes

>>110790
It's like slovenebert posted
If they save him their smugness will be off the charts

>>110622
>“The first few days were unexpectedly tough for me,” Koch said in an interview with RSN and ARD before the third stage to Poligny. “My heart rate was incredibly high and I had no power in my legs.”
uh-oh

Volta Velogame open

Why did I pick only one sprinter agaiN?

>>110790
They can unlock him

>>110795
Because you are strong like me and know the bigger points are at the end

>nobody died (apparently)
whew

At least it looks like I picked the right one

Good sprint, that.

GRANDE

I picked Meeus hoping for some cheeky podium points, but he was totally absent after a good train

I thought Hobbs was a meme. Well WHATEVER

Also had no idea HOBBS would deliver.

Are they really that keen on gifting away a stage?

marlen's french is pretty good, normally us Swiss-German speakers have a heavy accent when speaking French.
her plan is "pas chuter"

so what watts gainz from heat adaption can I expect when I ride outside in 35°C?

>>110816
Similar to altitude really

>>110816
I did some runs when it was hot and the gains were massive once it cooled down, felt like a Kenyan

>>110816
-10% at vo2max. About to ride home in torty six degrees, finna grab some icecream on the way back (+10 points to morale (+10% watts in zone2))

At least I didn't pick Magnier. Nowhere to be found in top 20

>>110820
Never mind I'm retarded

>>110821
You did make me check THOUGH.

>>110820
thought this was a relegated joke

suisse tv talking about velogames lol

what a weird race, you're basically watching a TT where one rider is trying to catch the other

now that the dust has settled
what do ""we"" think of this?

>>110826
I appreciate the extra pockets in a gr*vel jersey, but I don't see the point of having pockets in the bib shorts.

>Watch the femmes they said. The racing is much more entertaining than in the men's races.

I've been bamboozled.

volleringová has such a comicale sprinting form

>>110827
I have a pair with those. It's very occasionally useful (primarily for BIG rides when all storage is welcome) but mostly just there, harmlessly. Wouldn't use it over any other available storage location but when it's there, why not.

>>110832
see it as a comedy show on wheels, that too is entertaining

lol kopecky is kwakking

commentators losing their shit about the moto shielding her from the wind

>>110849
kinda right considering its headwind

>>110849
Hasn't seemed too outrageous imo. Mostly behind her, only occasionally beside her. Not enough to explain the kraaak

>>110851
it was the beside her that was shielding when they were right out in the open
but I don't like kopecky anyway so it doesn't matter

ridley wins again

>>110853
belgian victory after all

>>110852
On the other hand Lotte had her team car shield her a couple ot times while Haugset hasn't had her team car for ages

vollering rides like an absolute knucklehead

Vollering doing some weird shit

>volleringová pulling randomly
?

you really can tear the entire peleton apart on a 700 meter hill in this

lmao

i forgot lassies get randomly dropped over 500m at 4%

>>110861
Good thing for them is no one ever keeps riding after, so it doesn't matter.

>commentator says no gifts given
lol

Lost 1 minute+ on the final 10 km, yikes.

>>110864
weird because she probably could have taken yellow tomorrow if she kept it at 30

for the record, I'm indifferent towards the female uno-x team, but they probably use the same sulphurous dopage like the male faxe kondi counterpart.

I'm waiting for malawibert's commute weather report before I make a life altering decision (going on a bike that is)

Jayco is riding on those tires and wheels

>>110775
biology phd bert here, studies have tried to find alleles that improve athletic performance, but it's incredibly difficult because any given gene variant might be only found in a handful of athletes (or even just one), so you don't have the statistical power to make a significant finding; so, Tadej might have some allele that's just in his family that confers massive endurance capacity but because only he has it within the study pool, it won't pop out among all the other uncommon alleles that every individual has

zigart almost OTL, pogi will have to cancel his vuelta to stay with her

Why the FUCK did Visma sign Jakobsen when he is arguably the worst world tour rider at the moment!? Unserious team. Next news will be they bought out Buchmann's contract from Cofidis.

>>110881
>Your response that you cannot compare the transfers of Roglic, Kuss, and Piganzoli in any way with the impending transfer of Fabio Jakobsen is a bit of a simplistic view. There are more similarities than you think. Visma Lease a Bike is not the richest team, so they do not look for the most expensive riders. They look at how far they can take a rider with certain potential with their approach. Whether that is an unknown rider and promising talent, or a well-known rider who is (struggling) to return from injury. We can assume that they certainly base their assessment on the physical values ​​of the rider in question and work with those to get the best out of him. And no, this is not a guarantee of success, but it certainly deserves respect. You surely cannot deny that.

straight from the wielerflitsers themselves, sit yourself down chud fabby will win

in the morning I encountered a group of wild boars on the road that was scary, half a minute of standoff ensued until they decided I smell too bad or so. Commuting here is an adventure, in the morning it's nice and chill but half of the rides have random happenings and in the afternoon I either smash and/or fry like an egg in the pan

it is what it is

Sometimes, when I eat a giant eggplant Parm sandwich, I feel sorry that my European brethren will never know such joys

>>110882
They're so smug. How are they so fucking smug

>>110882
If there is one thing that does not deserve respect it is signing a rider that clearly stopped trying.
Friendship ended with Wielerflitz comment section.

>>110881
probably on a contract salary of 2 schnitzels (zonder bier) for 1.5 years, if he does something and they can fix him its a great asset flip, if not who gives a fuck

>>110763
he made a deal with the devil

>>110900
many such victims

>>110901

Not terrible, not great either
I love these late evening rides
I was thinking "why is the majority of pedalists not having a frontal blinking light" and then I found out mine ran out of jews

>"It was a step backwards": former French sports minister Marie-George Buffet admitted that her department had stopped unannounced doping test

They should do the same with seixas until he wins

>It was a step backwards": former French sports minister Marie-George Buffet admitted that her department had stopped unannounced doping tests on the French national team before the 1998 World Cup, after an initial test that caused an uproar,

Correct quote

Half of my team is orange.

>>110905
THURAM out of all places punishing my Chorwacja. The only two gols he scored.

>>110903
and then you get caged by a drunkard and everyone shit on you for not having a bike light

>>110903

>>110902
he's pushing as hard as he can

>>110911

>>110912
I have more km than him current year

>>110913
how do we win a tdf stage so we can coast off that for years

I feel like an indian thanking the rain god

Feels like warmup season

This is why Volta is my least favorite Velogame.

Of course all the berts here larp like they're spending their spare time watching pirate feeds of Portuguese semi pro races, but we all know it's just a meme. It's just a meme and it needs to STOP

I HATE THE VOLTA

>>110921
Just pick this team bert

>>110924
Sensible.
When you don't know enough about the riders just pick the local equivalent of the UAE meme team.

>>110925
Yup, and it's surprisingly effective, I won the 20200 Volta with this kind of team. Nowadays probably less effective without Moreira doing 6.8w/kg on all climbs though

>>110921
I will let you know I humiliated Autismebert with a carefully crafted super team last year

fast one in the morning before the heat starts, legs were GREAT today

How does one apply for the booba inspector role at UCI

>>110929
you need to memorize the cup sizes of all world tour ciclistas.

>>110930
That's easy.
95% of them are flat as a board.

>2 (two) kilos up since June
where's my transfer to Jumbo Visma for fat myself?

>>110928
Nice! Did you do that 3-10min max effort yet to find your W'?
For me some SST on the TT bike, 15+20+15+20min with short recoveries. Legs are starting to feel quite good in the TT position finally. And the daughter started kindergarten yesterday so perhaps life stress will finally go down as well so I can start training properly.

>>110933
>not able to post pictures
>>110932
Just ride more bert and listen to the schizovegan's advice about eating high-carb, low-fat

>>110933
>Did you do that 3-10min max effort yet to find your W'?
no I gave up on that, I would need to do another ftp test aswell because I lost 8 KG since the last one in march, down to 71kg now and the ftp seems to have dropped tiny bit to 290ish

Bert Julius in, I repeat, Bert Julius in, Matje Baldyrev (whoever that is), Giaimi OUT.
/cyc/'s favorite Jamba SAINBAYAR is IN as well.

>>110936
well, this changes everything. did Julius Bert expect to be back at the Volta ever again heh.

veloman didn't add them yet.

>>110936
AAAAA ADJUSTED

Ynr João Matias

>>110936
Veloman didn't add him yet, shame
>>110935
Ah I see, well no better time to do a hard effort than tomorrow eh, you surely have the rampas to do either a 35+min maximal effort or a 5min+ one

Short ride for me today, but enough to make space for a bit of butter

>>110934
it's getting difficult to get more than 250km a week lately
but honestly i feel if I ride more my weight doesn't go down (because i fuel properly with protein bars, schnitzels und bier)
but no complains

Flanders Baloise officially disbanded, come get your Crabbe's for cheap

>>110945
by WADA? they were very sulphurous this year

>>110946
No more sponsors, just like kern pharma is also gone.
Sport is not doing well

>>110936
That indeed changes EVERYTHING

>>110947
It's just the ProConti level that is impossible to be profitable, except for the top 3. The rest are riding around in clown races for nothing

>>110949
OnlyFans stream from the Booba tent will save ciclismo (monetary-wise)

So many yellows plates 😨
