@pandapodium.official flying uphill on Arcaris wheels at 885 grams. All my training and KOM miles on the one set of wheels this year. No issues or service or drama
At some point itās nothing about bikes and cars. Itās just ālive and let live,ā and unhappy people taking it out on whoever they can. @bike_legal can we just hire folks a therapist?
The UCI has the rules. Just have to force the organizers to follow it. Iām sure the riders knew about this turn at the end, and challenging to design urban finishes without tricky roads, but something has to change. Anybody who watched this whole stage and then had it thrown up in the air (or on the ground) wants their money back.
Iāll give myself a 6.5/10 on this one @fascatcoaching

These days a dude will post his first time on a road bike ride and itāll get 1000 comments saying his bike sucks and his clothes are all wrong and he needs to spend $20k on his setup or donāt even bother. Yāall will chase him right back to the CrossFit gym. Meanwhile a woman canāt share a 3-second riding clip without 100 mansplaining unsolicited virtual bike fits. Hereās me on one of my first rides the University of Florida, where I definitely looked like a Cat 7 but was taught how to ride safely in a group, how to race as a teammate (after botching it terribly for everyone), and at no point was I made to feel unwelcome or uncool. We were all broke and riding worn-out used shit and loving it. Shoutout to riders and clubs who do it right.
