cranky genX nerd. she/her, married. ride bikes, play videogames. Road racing, MTB XC, cyclocross. PCMR and Apple dickrider, yes I swing both ways. Destiny 2, Stardew Valley and a completely backlogged Steam library.
it’s especially hard seeing how early Fem started and how much pressure she felt (internally or otherwise) to win always. Pauline Ferrand-Prevot had a similar experience with the year she won all three world championships at 21 (road, cross, XC) and she struggled with injury and mentally as well

what do we say about young riders? they are inconsistent and they are allowed to make mistakes. He’s still just 23, he has time to get it together.
hell Pogi was still making junior mistakes until his frontal lobe fully developed in 2024, and as demonstrated last spring is still not immune

this was up there with some Superprestiges from like 2012-13 where a teenaged, gangly undercooked Wout was at the pointy end flatly REFUSING to allow Sven to drop him.
the races where all three meet this year will be generational if Thibau keeps improving

that color is probably 90% of my impulse for buying it. it matches the sky, also the scrungly old handmade dirt jump sign it’s leaning on

I took this guy to the World’s Hottest Gravel Race(TM) last year and finished top-5 in my age group - the catch of course was the course was all Class 1-2 gravel which is great for 30mm Turbo slicks but people acted like I was crazy

might I request a summoning circle to manifest good fortune for me to find a stylist who won’t ruin my hair? it hasn’t been cut since 2019 because my prior person went out of business during covid and it is way way past time 😭

I found/got jumpscared by our office elf-on-a-shelf today while raiding the supply closet so I took a selfie with him, sent it to the HR critters then repositioned per procedure. I already declined the office party invitation so I’ve done my civic duty for the year.

(I am willing to grant that a boxing match on soft mud/grass at 20kph on flat ground in a group of 8 has less at stake than one at 60kph on tarmac in a 120 rider peloton centimeters from oblivion but still come on)

that “fight” they got carded for was less spicy than the boxing match between Laurens Sweeck and Pim Ronhaar at Sunday’s CX!!
and yes I’m stoked to see Per back in action, he’s one of my favorite young riders!

I’d posit that Tiesj and DvB did a good job filling the tractor role jointly after NVH retired and also Edo is a beast.
don’t forget Per Strand Hagenes, he had a middling 2025 but he and Edo are both tow trucks.
for strategic road captain duties agreed Campy is the real deal.

he was SO MAD at the finish line, looked like some species of mechanical because he changed bikes twice in two laps.
also maybe the psychological aftereffects of that epic corner boxing match he engaged in with Sweeck. they were both getting really spicy with 2 to go.

the boxing match between Pim and Laurens was one for the ages.
also where did that version of Ryan Kamp come from and where have they been keeping him? he didn’t fall down awkwardly once!
