There are some very nice rogla moms out there! I remember when rogla got the 10s penalty for changing bikes in vuelta24 and I said that that was totally fair, that disqualified me as a rogla fan in some eyes somehow

If you were a bike race, which one would you wanna be?
I've decided I'm picking the Baby Giro. Great race to see young talent show themselves on a big stage, but not quite as high stakes as l'Avenir.
And with it being a U23 race: No aliens allowed! 😃

So as I’m heading out the door, @tonke.bsky.social, @pamina85.bsky.social, and @billylezard.bsky.social are over here playing “If I Was A Race”…
….and I claim Münsterland Giro. Fun little whacky German race late in the season that Jasper keeps winning.
Who else wants to pick a race? 😆

Remco doesn't beat Pogačar except in one tt in tdf (2023 pogacar was cooked after tdf), but tt is also not that indicative as the main focus in GT is climbing..
And the last times Remco won with a big gap was Liege in 23...

Not that hard to reach if it's effectively a 5 km race. And maybe we're underrating Kepplinger. On paper Dunbar is a good rider too, very good in vuelta24

Little late to the last few stages of the #vuelta24
(due to disappointment re: Wout’s crash and abandonment)
Pretty good racing!
Dunbar wins the Queen stage!
I wonder what will happen in the TT?!

@ionasj.bsky.social proficiat met de witte trui! Ik had er deze Vuelta ook mijn doel van gemaakt maar met 17 punten verschil moet ik weemoedig het hoofd buigen. #TdA24 #Vuelta24
UITSLAG. De groene trui gaat naar Emile Wallays.
@deluchtfietser.bsky.social was al zeker van de bergtrui.
En @ionasj.bsky.social gaat ook vandaag in het wit gekleed. #TdA24
