Classic example of what in Dutch one would call 'turbodijen': turbo thighs, meaning someone isn't even really attacking/sprinting away, but just overpowers the entire peloton on raw pace, which is insane for such a young rider (and awesome considering it's a whole new country!) mrv86 1 If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

Brailsford resigned today as Ineos Grenadiers leader, and is stepping away from cycling altogether towards Manchester United. Seems oddly apt - whatever the dubious bits, the end goal of Sky/INEOS was always going to be to render itself obsolete, with a steady stream of GBR riders coming through in other teams, and today feels like an example of the goal achieved - and without INEOS ever having grabbed the nettle on a women's team, the upcoming Backstedt-Ferguson era looks ti show that side in rude health too. Perhaps a good time, then, to walk away, and let the larger sport in the country move on... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
