I've seen a lot of new users here still coming, welcome all! A few of you were asking where to find people and stuff.

Here is a starter pack of people who you can follow: bsky.app/profile/did:...

You should also follow @kris.to Cycling chatter feed.
What about the classics, isn't half the team built to be good there?
Grischa Niermann on Visma's 2025:

"We had the big goal of going for all three Grand Tours again, and we won two of them. We finished second in the Tour de France. So I think we can call it a success.”

My message for New Year is the following:

Try to talk to people with conservative views and try to talk them out racism/bigotry as I believe this is the best way to counter fascism.

Try to be patient, try explaining them that the ruling class is using minorities to blame for a bad system.

Real intellectuals surround themselves with people of different views on the world
@tratnikstan.bsky.social feeling very conflicted about this

How do we convince Mads Pedersen that riding defensively increases his chances of winning a cobble monument?

Was Pogačar ill in the Tour this year?

His team complained about knee pain for stage 18 when he hit the handlebar on Ventoux sprint but was he ill too?

True humble champion
🇸🇮 Tadej Pogačar has been named L’Équipe’s “Champions of Champions” after a remarkable 2025, joining a list with Jordan, Bolt, Messi, Serena Williams, Federer and Djokovic.

🗣️ “Honestly, I would not put myself on that list. I cannot place myself that high"

Tadej Pogačar on why cycling struggles to be as big as some other big sports:

"Cycling is very particular and not easy to follow or to practice. It is simpler to watch a tennis match than a race that lasts six hours."

He is right, cycling is hard to get into with its complexity

Hope someone at Alpecin tells Mathieu to grow a pair and start Strade and Amstel in 2026

Today is the next chapter of the legendary Van Aert - Van der Poel rivalry in Loutenhout🔥⚔️

Who will come out on top this time?

Love seeing Rogla moms pissed at this Pog was over 3 mins behind in gc lol
🇨🇭 Mauro Gianetti on the 2019 🇪🇸 Vuelta a España

“It’s that Movistar at one point chased full gas, otherwise Tadej would have won that Vuelta instead of Primož Roglič.”

Went to the family of my sister's boyfriend and his sister's bf is Swedish.

One of the first things i asked him about is that Royal ship Vasa that sunk in 17th century and how Danes make fun of them

While i agree the sport isn't necessarily in a good place currently, but i haven't really seen proof of viewing figures going down in races
If you could tell that to sponsors and the viewing figures that would be great

Dominance in a skill based sport is very different, you can still watch good golf even if someone is way better.

In cycling I'd rather watch close racing than someone 10 mins up the road

Chat what (simple) dishes can you eat Kimchi with?

We came to a conclusion that it would be good to eat with eggs for breakfast

Him dropping mvdp in Roubaix would be sweet
🇸🇮 Pogačar’s coach 🇪🇸 Javier Sola on Slovenian's ceiling

“I think he can still improve, for sure. We will see what the level will be, but he’s a very hard worker, and he takes care of all the details, so we don’t know what the real limit is.”

Oscar Onley 🇬🇧 signs for Ineos Grenadiers!

The rider from Kelso 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 has had a meteoric rise to stardom. Can he take that next big step with the British WorldTour squad?

Is 'marine worm EPO' the next doping wave that disappears before testing can react?

He was so incredibly sad that he had to avoid media duties just look at his disappointment
I feel sorry for Vingegaard that he couldn't enjoy a real Vuelta podium moment, this year.

Winning a grand tour deserves a tribute ahead of a big cheering crowd in a beautiful environment, not an abandoned parking lot. One of the lows, this season.
