I nat blev der kørt første reelle etape af Tour Down Under 2026, hvilket betyder at cykelsportssæsonen er i gang.
Nu er fødiverset jo ikke det MEST sportsinteresserede sted, men skulle der alligevel være nogle cykelsportsfans derude så vil jeg gerne invitere jer til lemmy-communitiet her:
...hvor vi er nogle stykker der prøver at stable nogle race threads og så videre på benen gennem sæsonen. I kan subscribe til communitiet her via mastodon eller i kan oprette jer på fx feddit.dk og følge med den vej igennem.

Fascinating critique of #Procycling in the women's peloton.
Controversial and long but well worth hearing a (former) insider's view of the issues and lies women's cycling.

A great breakdown of the Aus Nationals by rider Mark O'Brien
"Let’s be clear. In my opinion, if Jayco, collectively as a team, had raced correctly on that last lap, Durbridge would have won. None of them – Rudy Porter, Kell O’Brien, Ben O’Connor, or Plapp – should have ever touched the wind on that last lap. They should have all been following anyone that went and just killing the moves."

Luke Plapp has always ridden for himself, and today proves it. What an absolute wally.
The kind of ride that is cancerous to a team. Why would another Jayco rider ever bury themselves for Plapp to win a race in the future?
The Perth #roadnats course has been proven to be a dud. Not enough features to enable a rider to make up serious time on a lap.
Every single race has been identical, and the men's race is over with 100km to go, with one of the break winning.
Move it to somewhere with some decent climbs please.
