What’s up @carltonkirby great commentary but you’re saying “pick-up” every two minutes bro.
Watching Liège–Bastogne–Liège from Mexico City:
08:15 La Redoute (~35 km)
→ First real attacks
08:50 Roche-aux-Faucons (~13 km)
→ Race-winning move
09:00–09:30 Finish
Rule:
Solo after Roche = likely winner
Group >4 inside 10 km = tactical finish
Shimano arruinó la victoria de MVDP con los pedales de Philipsen, pero queda a cambio con la imagen Shimano del año.
O quadro da Shimano hoje era um Canyon Ultimate CLX 2020 😬
O cabo de freio entrando no garfo entregou…

Not sure what @RideShimano thought: makes a film anticipating MVDP’s win but then fitting a leaked new cleat sys to the bike that could have been given to MVDP in time not to drop from the main group leading to him winning another #parisroubaix and ruining Philipsen race as well?
Mathieu van der Poel may have inadvertently revealed a key detail about Shimano’s unreleased road pedals during Paris-Roubaix 🤯
The defendging Dutchman punctured twice and was forced to change bikes on the Trouée d’Arenberg, but appeared to struggle to clip into a Jasper Philipsen's bike – which we know was fitted with Shimano’s new prototype pedals 🔥
This strongly suggests the new pedals – likely called SPD-SLR – uses a different cleat design to the current SPD-SL standard ⭐️

What a race, a big take away for me is that Pogacar was found out as unable to win on a sprint against any of the big sprinters in #parisroubaix , he’ll can’t beat MVDP, WVA, or Pedersen not even Stuyven, for next year he will need some proper focus on sprinting.

HELP NEEDED 🚨 (RT appreciated)
I am currently the national champion of Ethiopia and also a pro cyclist for Q36.5 pro team… at least until the end of the year. Unfortunately in September I was informed that my contract will be not renewed for the next year in this team. 1/5
Great guide! I’ll probably watch all of the stages from start to finish anyway 😅
I made a Brief overview of the stages in this years #TourdeFrance 🌻💛🇫🇷
This will also basically be my calendar for the next month 🙈
#TDF #TDF2024
Interesting piece of info that shows how much has cycling changed in the last 15 years.
The last rider on this #ParisRoubaix2024 finished 48min after the winner. Avg speed for the whole race for him was 42kmh. In 2010 winner Fabian Cancellara averaged just 39kmh – at Central Region, Singapore
Quinn: concussion, sternum fracture, abrasions and bruising
Crass: right-sided pneumothorax,
several rib fractures and two dorsal vertebral fractures, in addition to several bruises, abrasions.
Vingegaard: broken ribs and collarbone
Remco: broken collarbone and shoulder plate – at Central Region, Singapore
Roglic: no fractures
Vine: cervical and two thoracic spine vertebral body fractures, no neurological involvement
Tesfasion: No fractures or concussion, numerous contusions and abrasions – at Central Region, Singapore
Official releases from teams, may they all get well soon. #Itzulia – at Central Region, Singapore
He (MVDP) is the monument. – at Central Region, Singapore
The workload of MVDP in La Classicissima
1. Neutralize Pogi’s 1st attack
2. Close down Pogi’s 2nd attack
3. Strategic descent, let #JasperDisaster catch
4. Singlehandedly pull back a flying Matej Mohorič
5. Empty the tank to chase down Pidcock & set up a bunch sprint
Insanity!

I asked ChatGPT to design a pro cycling kit. For every 10 likes, I'll ask it to add more sponsors 🧵
