2022 Tour de Francis
On the UAE team bus before the stage after the directions are given to the rest of the team: “And Marc, you do, well what you’re always going to do, sigh…”

2022 Tour de Francis
Why would Jonas not go for a Tour/Vuelta double if it’s within reach? I would love to see Kuss hold on for the win, but cycling teams and their team leaders do not gift grand tour victories to domestiques, even super domestiques like Kuss, just because they’ve helped their leaders win the Giro and TdF. They are generally gifted permission to go for stage wins when if fits with the team objectives. Plus, what kind of pro wants a grand tour gifted to them by a stronger teammate? Jonas and TJV do not “owe” Sepp Kuss a victory by holding back. If Kuss can hang with, or even drop, Jonas on the Angliru, then he will prove to be the strongest rider and earn a legit victory. If Jonas takes enough time out of Kuss to take the lead, then that will have been part of the team plan all along. With all that said, go Sepp! Rip their fucking legs off tomorrow!

Official Coach Sark Thread of Dominance—haters back off
That was pretty damn satisfying to see Sark devise and execute an attacking and aggressive game plan in all phases. If that wasn’t arousing enough, the play calling was some of the best we’ve seen in quite some time. I can’t remember the last time I’ve felt that our offensive weapons were being used correctly and to maximum effect, and that the defense consistently brought pressure and disrupted the opposing QB. To be fair, Bama did their share of dick stepping in that game to affect the end result, but that performance by Sark and the team was legit progress and warrants optimism.

2022 Tour de Francis
Several years ago, I didn’t think that anyone would be able to have a stacked team like the ones from Sky/Ineos. Now TJV has such an incredible roster that they can assemble these monster squads for grand tours that are proving to be almost unbeatable. If Kuss hangs on for the overall, they will have winners for all three grand tours on the same team. I never even consider that as a possibility on a single team.

Well, that was always going to happen. Thanks for playing, Bardet.

2022 Tour de Francis
That’s real pro stuff. Hit the wall early one day falling out of GC contention, come back the next day and attack. Still stage wins out there.

2022 Tour de Francis
My god, just how far will Evenepoel fall? Completely out of it unless some absolute disaster befalls Team JV. Edit - Never mind. He still has literally miles to climb with 14 minutes already elapsed behind the winner. That’s about as bad of a day you can have without a crash.

Incredible. That has to be demoralizing to the other teams with GC and podium aspirations.

Kuss for real this time

Col du Tormalet, no biggie. Moderate effort.

There goes Carthy off the back. Wish I had a radio feed to hear Vaughters for the lulz.

That is a legit possibility. Real Death Star shit.

2022 Tour de Francis
Holy shit. I took a few minutes to do some work and it went from 1:45 to over 5 minutes. Yeah, that changes things and makes a Kuss GC more likely if they can keep Soler at bay.

Curious to see if Remco and Quick Step are actually having a bad day or maybe saving up for a monster effort on the Tourmalet. We’ll see shortly…

2022 Tour de Francis
It’s possible, but I’ll agree with Evenepoel and see Kuss as an outside chance for the GC. That said, I’d like to see what would happen if Seppy strapped in and made an earnest effort at keeping the GC lead.

Could have been an exciting finishing climb if the weather and resulting road conditions weren’t shite. It was cool to see cell phones to record official times once again in this Vuelta.

2023 Other Games Thread
GJ Kinne has his boys ready to play. Very promising for the Bobcats once they get to conference play. I would love it if they hold on to beat Rapelor in Waco.

Quinn "La Joya" Ewers - The Man The Myth The Mullet, Now Starting for the Miami Dolphins
No progression, no fire, no fight, no leadership. Looks like the worst version of Ewers from last season. Disappointed to put it mildly.

Rice at Texas - Game 1
Hell yeah! 3 more points coming!

2022 Tour de Francis
I get that space is limited on mountaintop finishes, but they should have known that the finish was likely to be contested at high speed, or at least high speed for a climb. Another literal bang up job by the organizers. Shake it off, Remco.

2022 Tour de Francis
Good thing the race organizers have the unimpeachable data from the spectators personal phones to figure out the bonus points. So far the only thing that feels like a grand tour is seeing Roglic hit the deck early.
