Nooooo! How is this possible?? I guess it’s good Jonas isn’t 45 seconds back and in real contention, but I feel cheated

I thought it was great! I feel like the Dauphine is an opportunity for him to try out some things he’s been working on. First the attack and sprint, the next thing you know he’ll unveil this new skill

Jonas fans, get hyped for TDF. He’s going to be better than he’s ever been before 😉

“America shone as a beacon of liberty” indeed. My dad and family made this giant flag from old bed sheets to welcome liberating soldiers into Nazi-occupied Holland. He emigrated to the US shortly after the war and deeply cherished our laws and values. He would be devastated

My dad was a teen in WW2 Nazi-occupied Netherlands, before emigrating to the US. He always had such patriotic feelings towards his adopted country. We still have the flag my Oma made from bedsheets that the family displayed on liberation day.

I’m so grateful he’s not around to see this travesty

Daughter put on Unchained S1. That’s it, the whole story. Now we have an online Visma race calendar and grandtour binders for routes, etc. So fun to find new interests. e.g., son sent this from an airport last yr—she would’ve been no one to us pre-Unchained #Gatewaydrug (from US, deeply apologetic)

Just got this alert. It has me thinking about the many under-the-radar services the federal government provides, backed by scientific research, and their importance for lives and livelihoods (and baby cows).
