Musings on the world of cycling to distract myself from the insanity of the rest of the world.
It’s crazy how Marc Soler has become a model teammate at UAE…unlike the dude he was helping #LaVuelta25 #procycling #couchpeloton

Pidcock looked so fast today. If he can have this form next season in the Ardennes, we all better watch out #LaVuelta25 #procycling #couchpeloton
🇬🇧 Tom Pidcock wowww
He is going crazy here on stage 11 of 🇪🇸 #LaVuelta25 and on his way to the GC podium at the minute!

Pidcock is looking mighty impressive in #LaVuelta25. I honestly don’t see him fighting for a podium spot but would love to see him keep it up #procycling #couchpeloton

Honestly didn’t see him going to Lidl-Trek and kinda hate that…for the team. They seem to gel really well together, have a real GC contender in Ciccone already, have a lot of other options for both classics and GTs, and could probably go w/o the drama of Ayuso #procycling #couchpeloton

If Ayuso is trying to get out of contract with UAE to sign with another team, I don’t see how his attitude or performance this Vuelta is going to help him.
Would be much better for him to be a strong teammate and show his prowess than go for stage wins one day and then drop off the back the next

Vingegaard showed that he is easily the strongest rider in #LaVuelta25. I think La Roja will be on his back very soon and he and @teamvismaleaseabike.com aren’t gonna relinquish afterwards #procycling #couchpeloton

Ayuso says he never intended to race for GC after flaming out on the first major mountaintop finale at the Vuelta a España:
'I've been saying since day 1 that my plan was never the GC.'

Kinda insane how bike theft has almost become normal at pro races. Imagine someone stealing an F1 car! #procycling #LaVuelta25

"Last night, our mechanics’ truck was broken into and several bikes were stolen. Our mechanics are working hard to ensure that the team is fully prepared for the third stage. The police have launched an investigation."
