Peace to the Gaffneys

Congrats, TBS, you lead from bell to bell!

What a cool thing for Sepp

Jonas & Primoz look to have embraced their team positions for this race earnestly — might have redeemed them a bit. Vingo looked over at Sepp at 1k to go & offered...

tomorrow looks like it could be crazy on paper, but is it?

there's 3pts for cresting a cat3 peak -- (10) cat3 peaks tomorrow + 20pts for an intermediate sprint & a bonus seconds

Remco seems to...

umm, fred isn't referring to a single individual

fo sho

rough way to run in to the sprint leadout -- not often you see the touch of wheels right at the pointy end, usually a couple wheels back

i got lucky with a non-groves selection

kuss survived --...

it seems they made an effort to correct with today's ride
better late than never

purportedly they will support kuss thru the finale now, or at least not jam a pump in his spokes on camera

made me wonder if there was backlash in the team

remco, wtf happened on the down day? really...?

Peace to you frozen & your family

as the nfl guys say: it's just business

I have to imagine either:
1) the DS likely gave Vingo & Primoz private commentary that he wasn't committed to Sepp as leader as long as TJV owned the...

I’m hoping Kuss will get his shot, but I do admit he hasn’t really shown himself to be better than Roglic or Vingegaard as of yet…just the luck of choosing the right split in stage 6

When you’re only taking time out of your own teammate(s), that is kinda cannibalizing, no?



Kuss is going to have to do more than just try to outlast the gc contenders. He needs to create some...

Surely one of them made a gigantic penis& balls as they dug to entertain themselves but no, just the heroic music

A-a-ron can’t be too happy, but at least he doesn’t have to start for the Jets for the near future

Silver linings, you know…

He is happy cuz his people are close

Thank you - helpful!
(I'd like to think I'm doing this but reality says otherwise -- i'll reconsider on my next outing & be a little more present for what I'm really doing)

i guess i'd like to challenge you to support the raping the earth/kid-diddling part of your assessment, maybe in light of oldnew_guy's post on scale of impact vs greenwashing

That's a quality point: forest for the trees on the scales of impact involved [country of USA, are you self-aware?]

(and doesn't discount the notion that now "carbon footprint" is a somewhat...

I don't know how to respond except: no, you don't get it - the thread started with gun regulation. I encourage you to understand that. Or at least consider the idea that maybe you misread OP's...

hooked a bunch, but i was really struggling to net fish tho (really too...

the title of the thread is a direct reference to doing nothing of substance about gun regulation -- that is exactly the central issue of this thread -- it was not subtle, nor oblique

i thought we'd started to look at fall a bit, but overnight temps still not dipping properly & a forecast with highs above 90 later this week

I’m not sure it could be worse
I had to look cuz what else you gonna do during a shit game:

NYG starting off ugly - 12pts off turnovers for DAL & the 1st isn't over yet

If you are implying that it is the school’s responsibility to solve (by improving “safety”), I just don’t know what to say…

The issue is NOT unsafe schools.

Holy shit what a finish for the Ducks!

WOW!

Now Mas swings off & Kuss free to climb for himself

Wow, we have some drama

[eta]aaand, back together

Will Roglic pass Ayuso?

[eta] a burst from Kuss at 1km to go

Is Vingegaard going to use this seemingly sensible team move to put himself atop the podium?
I’d really like to see Kuss keep the leader’s jersey all the way to the end (maybe mitigating the delta...

Just turning things on, I need a recap
I see 5 JV riders driving at the front

Cute!

#checkmatelibs

is evenepoel as aggressive as pogacar might be in this situation?
will he poke & prod and press any buttons along the way?

unless a rider demonstrates he's struggling tomorrow, I'm looking for a...

no, just offer something to ground your assertion in fact
