I am a Jayco - AlUla fan with all my heart, but I do not understand for a moment why we are not send Dylan Groenewegen to the Vuelta. He could win every sprint in Benelux and still not get as many UCI points as winning just 1 stage of the Vuelta, and we desperately need the points.

A couple years ago I wrote a poem for the Giro, and was gonna write one for all the grand tours and maybe the monuments and never did because life events got in the way. But today for the start of the Tour de France, I have finished my Tour poem! Hope you enjoy

As a fan my favorite sprinter history basically goes, Robbie McEwen, Mark Cavendish, Caleb Ewan, then Mark Cavendish again. With Cav and now Caleb Ewan retired, I suppose that makes Kaden Groves my favorite sprinter now, but I’m watching Matthew Brennan’s career with great interest!

We have now gotten through the Pogacar vs Van Der Poel part of the year, now we move into the Pogacar vs Evenepoel part, followed by the Pogacar vs Vingegaard part, and then finishing with Pogacar vs Evenepoel Part 2.

Probably should’ve posted this here earlier in the season, but earlier in the year, I used iPhones emojis creator to create symbols for the monuments, and well, I went a step further and got them tattooed on me! #parisroubaix #monuments #cycling @reallyspoketome.bsky.social

Paris - Roubaix feel completely unique to the rest of the cycling calendar and thus makes its monument status obvious. Strade Bianche feels equally unique on the calendar… 🤔. Ignoring the lack of history, even if there are attempts to duplicate the race Strade Bianche is, it will always be the OG

Saying Tadej Pogacar can win the:

Vuelta a España
World Championships
All 5 monuments
In the same year, surprisingly, doesn’t sound all that outlandish

Remco Evenepoel strategy for winning stage races
Step1: try to drop the GC leader
Step2: work with them if you haven't dropped them
Step3: yell at them that they have 0 balls if they refuse to work
Step4: celebrate the stage win intensely after winning an uncontested sprint
