Kim Le Court puts it better than me

Domestique@domestiquecycling.com · 4d ago

🇲🇺 Le Court best of the rest in 🇫🇷 Tour Femmes opener 🗣️“If she [Wiebes] wasn’t there, I possibly had a chance, but we know that if she’s there, then nobody has a chance.” 📰 www.domestiquecycling.com/en/news/if-w... 📸 Cor Vos

Wiebes is sensational but the absence of rivals at or even very close to her level has made sprint stages dull. Once she crested that final hill near the front the finale was a foregone conclusion

Jonas Creteur@jonascreteur.bsky.social · 4d ago

📊 A reminder that the last bunch sprint that Lorena Wiebes really* LOST was on 13/08/2024 ALMOST 2 YEARS AGO!, stage 2 Tour de France Femmes, 2nd behind Charlotte Kool.

Some good news we all need

This is Beily. He was miraculously found alive under rubble 29 days after the Venezuela earthquakes. He has since been reunited with his 11-year-old human Victoria and is expected to make a full recovery. 14/10 for all (TT: fuerzavzla1)

This is an interesting perspective on the Tour from a photographer’s point of view

I can’t remember a stage before where three jerseys were decided and went to three different riders. There was so much going on today it was hard to keep track at times

This is a good read. Knew it would be right from the start when @petercossins.bsky.social points out there are actually 22 hairpins to reach the finish rather than the 21 everyone talks about

A podcast! About Alpe d'Huez I spoke to @petercossins.bsky.social about his book on Alpe d'Huez. Not recently though. No no. This is from a while back. From the archives. But still fresh and relevant, of course. open.spotify.com/episode/4f35...

Although Wellens said at the finish he was ill, but UAE DS Matxin has said he wasn't. So there must be some other reason Wellens rode the stage finale on his own rather than in the gruppetto. Any suggestions?

the Inner Ring blog@inrng.com · 2w ago

Tim Wellens comes in alone about 8 minutes after the gruppetto as the last rider to finish today and with two minutes to spare for the time cut

I find the riders' obsession with McDo's very bizarre. I suspect that they'd all turn their noses up at the coffee served there, but they're desperate to eat the burgers. Fast Food Nation put me off them for life
