Famously late adopter and probably only here for the cycling of all sorts. I'm funnier AND weirder on Tumblr, but aren't we all? Co-captain of the #tallboypeloton pep squad! Messy maker of mixtapes. I dance and dj and write and disco 🪩
Congrats to Pogacar. He has managed something unique that nobody else has done before him... I have officially cared WAY more about the fifa world cup this summer than I have about the tour de france. And that's an impressive generational first that shall never be forgotten.
Det eneste tidspunkt højrefløjen bakker op om LGBT er, når det handler om islamister. I mellemtiden langer de selv ud efter os og gør, hvad de kan for at stække vores rettigheder. Så længe man udfører sit had demokratisk er det nemlig helt ok.
But if your foster kids kept doing crack cocaine in their rooms repeatedly on your watch, you probably wouldn't be allowed as a foster parent again after that, would you? And yet here we are Mauro...
Apropos of nothing and everything... Pog really is the Messi of pro cycling, isn't he? And now everyone should have realised that that's not a compliment... It's quite accurate tho.
Let’s go further. Let’s get Big Money out of existence
Robert Reich@rbreich.bsky.social · 2mo agoElon Musk spent $290 million getting Trump elected. During this midterm cycle, he's spent $85 million. In total, that’s 0.0375% of his $1 trillion net worth. Oligarchs can rig the system at the expense of everyone else, and only spend pennies doing so. We must get Big Money out of politics.

Non-cycling related post aka Garden-brag. This lot may only be 12m² but the joy (and tasty joy) it brings me is enormous and I'm legit proud of it this year.
I kinda hate playing the role of Cassandra, but I'm legit counting the days until I can all yell "I f'n told you so" into the void that used to be my favourite sport. Because it feels very Cassandra to watch the media uncritically glaze Gianetti and his genocide-facilitating regime sponsored team.😬
Hey men's road racing? I think we may need to take a break for a while. Just wanted you to know it's not me. It's you. 😑
Also, additionally, cheering for Pog (the overwhelming favourite most winningest rider on the richest most winningest team) also just feels like the blandest possible version of kicking in an open door... There's not really anything at stake result wise for him and as such, nothing to cheer for. 😵🤷🏻♀️
Monthly reminder of who the name sponsors of Gianetti's superteam (and owner of almost all the additional sponsors as well) also is...
Stine Momo@stinemomo.bsky.social · 9mo ago...and your cycling team, cycling race and a ridiculous amount of UCI championships recently and in the next 5 years! Lappartient basically making the UAE regime a partner of UCI is legit one the grossest thing to happen to the sport of cycling in a long time. (And we've had a LOT of gross things!)

Arthur Snell@snellarthur.bsky.social · 9mo agoWhen we look at this massacre and many more perpetrated by the RSF, let's be clear who funds, equips & sustains them. It's the UAE. Yes, the same UAE that might own your football club, fly you on your holidays, invests in our national infrastructure. If boycotts work, we should be boycotting now.
so one single dude owns a full percent of *global* gdp and there are people acting like this is good
I really like Bisiaux but this is actually embarrassing... It's the 2nd to last day to do anything in this race. Should everyone just stand still and wait for 3+ minutes? (Alternatively: you can either complain or stretch the car assisted chase back norms to the limit, you don't get to do both.)
Domestique@domestiquecycling.com · 2mo ago🇫🇷 Leo Bisiaux questions rivals’ response after Seixas crash 🗣️ "It was a bit disappointing in terms of sporting fairness. All the teams started riding. Strangely, everybody wanted the stage win today, while yesterday nobody did." 📰 www.domestiquecycling.com/en/news/bisi... 📸 Cor Vos
No cycling commentators, a 19 yr old looking pale, bloody and absolutely ready to pass out after a hard race where he crashed isn't "heroic" or "superhuman". It's dumb at best.
So... According to DK comms the important discussion is "why didn't the peloton wait" (why should they? Also see: break formation phase. Also see: why should they?) instead of other topics related to a certain chase back today? That's a hilarious set of priorities.
Skriver Feltet.dk deres artikler uden at se cykelløbet til ende? Læser folk ikke i det mindste fakta-korrektur inden de trykker publish? Det her er virkeligt en underlig ting at smide online efter et løb hvor Lidl-Trek blev nr. 4.
4 different riders (no mannequins!) from 4 different teams almost certainly wearing the 4 different jerseys on the podium tomorrow is my most favourite thing out of many good things about this end-result.
Death, taxes, DK commentators being unable to actually remember the past Giro stages they insist on talking about...
And everybody liked that! 💙 A win for feisty hotheads all around 😆
Stine Momo@stinemomo.bsky.social · 2mo agoHey Visma? Let Cicco have his pretty blue jersey in peace tomorrow okay? Just let him take enough points to keep it and don't actively try to do the opposite. 🙏🏻 That way you can definitely enjoy your Italian afterparty without worries as well. 😅
I am verge of tears angry about FDJ and Specialized and Shimano turning Demi Vollering's amazing career story into an AI video. This could have been a breakthrough moment for women's cycling and the recognition she deserves. Instead it is slop.
Update: it's a Magnum ice-cream ad. It's a comically weird choice of music for that.
Stine Momo@stinemomo.bsky.social · 2mo agoThere's an ad in rotation on HBO's giro interruptions set to Courtney Barnett's Pedestrian at Best and I'm like... Did they listen to the lyrics? "Put me on a pedestal, I'll only disappoint you"... Quite a choice for a commercial! 😆 (No idea what it's for, I restart the stream at the ad breaks 🤷🏻♀️)
