After 39 months, I finally visited a cycling race.
And for the first time, I was at the start and the finish, as well.
It was superb. Thanks to Denmark for the wonderful organization, I'll keep my bucket hat as a lifelong memory #PNDKR25

A positive thing for neutral fans:
Arkea-B&B Hotels had 3 riders in top 12.
Probably their best performance ever on a mountainous stage at World Tour level.
Vauquelin still doing some heroics but Rodriguez and Garcia Pierna both deserve their flowers. #TDF2025

Lorenzo Fortunato is in historic heights.
319 points in KOM classification, most since 1982 in Giro.
Highest KOM score in this millenium on Grand Tours: 324 by Richard Vireneque on Tour 2003. Really close to this record.

Could have been angry about that, but simply: thanks (?)
I mean: at least, making others feel something through writing was my goal throughout the last 4 years. If it's joy or this: it's almost up for interpretation. Happy the good sides still prevail.

Using a cycling broadcast for political goals isn't right.
Yet, that's what Hungarian public media does with Tour de Hongrie as every minute on the screen, the VOKS 2025 text pops up on the screen instead of the channel that they broadcast it.

Film review of 'Do not expect too much from the end of the world.'
This is a 5* movie. Rare review, but director Radu Jude really captured the Eastern European reality very well with a lot of sarcasm. Ilinca Manolache, the leading actress, carries the film on her shoulders.

Today we'll find out if David Lappartient will be the new president of IOC - there are better candidates than him (Kirsty Coventry, Lord Coe), but for the sake of cycling and UCI I just somehow wish he will win to have a chance to completely renew this organization.

Anyone wants to hear some film reviews from me?
Finished my week yesterday with a Czech movie called 'After Party' - it's a 4/5⭐️ one from me.
I kinda got into a good groove with alternative films these weeks so more will come soon.

Reminder why you should never ever believe in Lukas and moreover, never ever follow him anywhere, neither on Facebook, nor on X. Phrasing an official press release as his own without even mentioning the team is just plain ridiculous.

Tears my heart into pieces more and more with each page.
But it's something you all should read if you have a sentimental heart and mind.

Why does a race want to be even more controversial than they are already? This communication is like digging a 2 metre deep hole for a casket and than voluntarily jumping into it
