2019 – THE YEAR THAT TRANSFORMED CYCLING (mega thread) 🧵
A few weeks ago, I was thinking about what events have actually changed men’s cycling in recent history and after some time, I started to see a pattern – a lot of things that transformed cycling into what it is now happened in the year 2019.

The last Olympic 5000m race for our speed skating legend Martina Sáblíková and the men's ice hockey match against Canada at the same time 😱

I'm leading the BlueSky VeloGames league for Tour of Oman 🥳 I am also 15th overall!
(well not for long, today’s stage with Blikra as the winner is going to mess it up a little bit 😅)

3rd place: TdF '24 final stage, a mountainous route after competing with prime Pogačar and good Vingegaard
4th place: Itzulia '24, Remco fell that day
12th place: TdF '25, was underprepared and didn't feel good
Only extraordinary circumstances can stop him and even then he's still one of the best 💪

Just three misses in nearly two years 😲
Remco Evenepoel has an individual time trial record that is hard to beat. Since the start of the 2024 season, the reigning world, European and Belgian time trial champion has lost only three of the last fifteen time trials he started.

I always thought Baptiste Veistroffer was a bit underrated. I hope after today this will no longer be the case.

My wishlist for today:
- someone from Rockets (Larsen or Kubiš) wins GC ať Bessèges
- Ledecká and Maděrová 🥇&🥈in parallel giant slalom
- Jílek 🥇 at 5000 m speedskating
- our biathletes are good in the mixed relay (wouldn't mind a nice 🥉)
I will keep you updated throughout the day how it's going.

Does anyone else think that perhaps letting a few billionaires control everything is a bad idea?

What a masterclass by Flanders-Baloise 👏
Vercouille was very strong in the break and then Crabbé being the only one holding onto the backwheel of Kubiš (who basically gave him a leadout) and winning afterwards… a dream start of Bessèges for them!

What are they doing at Bessèges? Do they want the breakaway to win? Vercouille is not bad at all and he's got 2 guys with him as well 😳

According to WielerFlits the Rockets are set to debut at the Giro instead 👀 with the amount of flat stages, there's a chance that at least once Lidl-Trek mess up (see today's AlUla stage) so Groenewegen could fight for the win + Poels hunting for a Giro stage to complete the trilogy = could be good.

Jan Christen is shaping up to be a very entitled piece of 💩... but what do you expect from a guy who committed his future until 2030 to the most arrogant and unlikable team in the peloton 🤡
Rules of this race seem to be…
Holding on to team car is ok.
Slapping the hip of another rider to make them get out your way is ok.
Yanking your bike off the head of another rider who is lying prostrate on the ground is ok.

I don’t really mind this result as Morgado is the only UAE rider who I actually like BUT don't get me wrong, my hate for UAE immediately kicked in the moment I saw Politt sprinting against Vendrame and Turgis 😁 suddenly became the biggest fan of those two!
Young talents put on a show at 🇪🇸 Trofeo Calvià as 🇵🇹 Morgado wins on his birthday

so our neo-nazi minister of foreign affairs just tried to blackmail our president because he refused to name another neo-nazi (who is from the same party as the minister of FA) into the position of minister of environment…
