New Scouting series👀 Starting today, I'll create a thread of riders available next year. I'll mainly target u25 rider, from Pro and Conti teams that I think could perform at a higher level. I will use results and Strava content to show you what makes them special. Stay tuned🔁

In these uncertain and turbulent times, I’m posting off season to share culture, and specifically music, where I feel I have the most to contribute. As a little experiment, leave a like if you opened the link, and a comment if you enjoyed what you heard! youtu.be/jmJS4uhqDtI?is=Jea0…

C'est le moment de le dire : il y a DirectVelo, qui envoie des passionnés sur le terrain pour produire de l'info qui n'existe pas ailleurs. Et d'autres sites qui ont bâti une ergonomie (jolie, oui) mais qui volent le boulot des autres. Choqué qu'on fasse de la pub à ces nuisibles

Replying to @ProCyclingStats
Every transfer you have listed on your site was confirmed directly to you and therefore needs no source? As you know, I think it's a great site and resource, but my point is that almost everything on your site is data gathered from other sources that aren't credited.

I seem to like the #TDF2027 route more than the early feedbacks I see. Seems more balanced towards sprint and FTP riders which can get more people in contention.

I've just read 🇮🇹Solution Tech (sponsored by RALI) secured an intivation for 🇪🇸Euskaltel-Euskadi in the UCI .2 races in Panama They don't want both 🇮🇹Bardiani and 🇭🇺MBH Bank (who both race .2 in 🇷🇸Serbia)to finish top 30 in UCI ranking, so they have a bigger Giro wildcard chance

I feel like a margin that thin should result in a share win.
