Le dernier championnat du monde auquel je suis allé pour voir une vieille poche de sang gagner, comme je l'avais dit et écrit avant. J'étais à 100 m en amont de ligne arrivée, tout près.

GROTESQUE : Tadej POGACAR a gravi le Collada de Beixalis (6.52 à 8.56%) en 17min41s soit une puissance étalon de 475 watts. Cela correspond à 6.85 w/kg. Performance extraordinaire pour un col situé à 45 km de l'arrivée de l'étape. Ses concurrents avaient 1min39s de retard au sommet (420 watts étalon pour ceux qui n'ont pas relayé) puis à peu près le même rythme sur le col d'Ordino pendant 23min25s. @lapreuvepar21 . GROTESQUE

Adieu, Julian Alaphilippe. Pyromaniacal, irrepressible from 2016 to 2022, was also one of those riders who looked slightly overtaken by the way cycling evolved post-Covid. Utterly charming & professional with the media. A throwback, a showman, an era-definer.

🚨 I'm confident this is now a done deal: Tadej Pogačar has extended his contract with UAE Team Emirates-XRG until the end of 2032. We're just waiting on official confirmation from the team.

Anyone going to ask Pog what he thinks of UAE’s other sponsored projects such as the genocide in Sudan. I wonder if Pog has any Sudanese gold?

Pogi’s Alpe d’Huez analysis is fascinating - killer 💥 : 20s gained over 90s (~8w/kg) - settled down : only 18s over 6:30 (6.8w/kg) - rivals decline : 95s over 14:00 (6.8w/kg) - easy peasy last 4k, 20s gained (6-6.5w/kg) - 10 seconds lost to Remco, Torito & Seixas (celebrating)

Several Women's WorldTeams told WielerFlits they're concerned some riders gain a TT aero edge by using bra padding to fake a larger bust. Artificially modifying clothing is banned under UCI rules, but the practice is rarely enforced. #TDFF2026 wielerflits.nl/nieuws/jury-t…

Did the judge authorize the nighttime tests based on individualized confidential evidence for each athlete, or did French law allow the judge to authorize a broader intelligence-based operation affecting multiple riders? 1/x
