happy new year!! 👀🔮 for the asks?

happy new year!!

👀 Are there any cyclists who you think will have a breakout year in 2025?

just did this one!

🔮 Any 2025 race predictions?

hate the thought of jinxing something but: mads pedersen paris-roubaix win<3

and bonus prediction, which is less about any specific race: jonas goes to another one day race this year and then, crucially, he actually finishes it

thank uu!

new years ask game

[alpinelogy]

editing a 2020 rogla image is fundamentally funny to me cause wdym hema and jumbo are printed all over his jersey. sir what

[pinkpogiclub]

in light of current events im thinking about her (2025 uae vs vlab and the consequent fratricide between the yates twins)

[irid-escent]

kpop phase over. now I’m gonna put vlab photocards in my phonecase

[spoonfulofmilo]

cycling fic rec list

basically everyone can ignore this, but as someone who got hyperfixated on professional cycling (even if I cannot ride a bike) and is now competing in cycling fanfic events, and I have just done an event for one of the 3 biggest races.

@wtfanworkclassification organised this amazing event, so massive thank you to them, so I thought i'd recommend some of the awesome fics (some stages are missing, which are the ones where I wanted to rec myself haha :)

stage 2 - magic au

“Nature” decided

Wout and Mathieu are stuck together. literally.

General

Mathieu/Wout, background tadej/jonas

I decided magic doesn’t work on jonas

1/1 - 503

stage 4 - mutual pining

E stands for… evenepoel

wout/remco

“I was just talking to Julian.”

“Remco.” Wout is not sure if he should laugh or be concerned.

“Hm?”

“Your screen. It’s turned off.”

Wout and Remco go to a rave. E stands for ecstasy Evenepoel

Mature

wout/remco

Fluff

1/1 - 1317

stage 6 - accidental baby acquisition

A nature break with a purpose

Edo & Wout

“Edo, what is this?”

A pudgy hand reached out and Wout smiled, cheeks and the corners of his eyes crinkling in brief adoration. “Hello, little one,” he cooed, reaching out his own hand and letting the infant grab onto his pointer finger with her whole hand

[or, Edo and Wout (and the adjacent rest of VLAB) become fathers. For VAEFC2024]

General

Edo & Wout

Accidental Baby Acquisition

1/1 - 1165

stage 8 - guilt

You are lucky you’re my boufriend

sepp/adam

I thought I was getting better

But Visma doesn’t want me at half health and I get that

But are you getting better

I don’t know

[or, the lieutenant boyfriends text throughout the length of the 2024 Tour de France. For VAEFC2024]

General

sepp/adam

Texting

1/1 - 900

stage 9 - 5 things

It only counts in Paris

tadej/jonas

Him, below on the cooldown bike, legs gelatin and Jonas, above on his muscular thighs, powerful calves, still smiling so modestly. He looked like an angel. Tadej wanted to devour him like the devil, leaving only the yellow behind for the taking.

[or, five times Tadej finished in the winner’s room and the one time he brought his victory to his own room. FOR VAEFC2024]

Mature

tadej/jonas

Tour de France

1/1 - 2053

stage 10 - accidental marriage

What happens in Monaco never stays in Monaco

wout/jonas, remco/mathieu

Remco smiled out of confusion, throwing up his hands. “Who? Was it, I don’t know, Wout Van Aert? Another cyclocrosser? Even fucking-”

His jaw set at Mathieu’s guilty expression. “You are married to Wout van Aert. The Wout van Aert.”

[or, Wout and Mathieu have to come clean to their boyfriends. For VAEFC2024.] 

Teen

wout/jonas, remco/mathieu

I can’t be mean to them

1/1 - 1469

stage 11 - patience

The wait/weight of a dying man

Sepp & primoz

“Go race Ben. Have some patience.”

“I-” Primoz went to retort, but nothing came out. He has had too much patience for one man to bear.

[or, Primoz can’t wait on himself much longer. For VAEFC2024.]

Teen

Sepp & primoz

Waiting

1/1 - 1320

stage 12 - take your fandom to work au

I hope this email finds you well

tadej/jonas

Get a glimpse into the daily life of TDF’s Slovenia based, busy as a bee Administrative HR team!

“Hello, subhuman resources, Jasper speaking”

Tadej wants to say hi but only manages to cough, right after his mic connects,

“Hey, uh. Sorry.”

“Lovesick much today?”

Not rated

tadej/jonas

Alternate universe - office

1/1 - 1543

stage 16 - huddling for warmth

Cervelo versus colnago

sepp/adam

He realised it was just Sepp, standing ominously in the doorway. “What do you want now?” He asked, swiping to another reel.

“It’s cold.”

“Thanks for the revelation,” Adam grunted.

[or, Jonas and Tadej set up their lieutenants, but things don’t go to plan when a snowstorm comes through. For VAEFC2024.]

Teen

sepp/adam

1/1 - 1798

stage 18 - escape

“I’ll leave a light on”

wout/mathieu

!!! detailed mentions of Wout’s crash in DDV + a lot of angst in general !!!

When Wout falls in DDV, Mathieu begins to understand how important Wout really is to him. In the Vuelta, he is there when Wout needs him the most.

“I will keep you safe, you hear me, I will go to fucking Lourdes if I have to. But you will be fucking safe.” he whispers more to any fate-related entity than to Wout.

Really a fic to try and comfort myself, but also for everyone out there who needs it.

Not rated

wout/mathieu

1/1 - 2550

‼️and 🔁 hehe

ok fine you get an awesome i_blog_to_lose_followers hot take

‼️ Hot take/unpopular opinion?

Here's another one. I absolutely despise, loathe and hate team lotto jumbo visma lease a bike (men) with every fiber of my being. I have teams I hate for moral reasons (UAE, IPT at the front) and then I have visma. That I've hated for years and years for a variety of reasons even when they had chronic loser-itis back in the 2010s. like if you asked me which team i hate the most my first thought would actually be them :'/

Disclaimer: You might want to stop reading here if you think i'm a cool mootie and you like vlab <3 i love u i just disagree <3

First off, I started watching cycling as a classic sky hater and I just can't go against my ways - I haaaaate the way they race. The sky method but worse. It's their fucking fault we can't even have normal fun breakaways in GTs. Like sorry the 2020 TDF was deeply traumatizing to me because I thought we were finally done with the sky era race lockdowns and here comes yumbo with the most conservative racing you've seen in a lifetime, chasing down every break, every GC guy down 10 minutes and expanding energy for no purpose while not even going on the attack themselves and just playing the Roglic bonus seconds meme game. AND FOR WHAT? Like if they raced properly and not like absolute buffoons Roglic would've won this TDF EASILY because pogi would've had no chance of catching up. Instead they gave us the most boring TDF I've ever seen and still had the audacity to flop - which was absolutely cathartic but didn't help my haterisms around them.

I also hate the way they operate since they're one of those evil teams with excessively deep pockets buying out all the talent the young riders etc etc. Them and UAE share the exact same levels of evilness in my mind for that and I have no clue why UAE seems to get more criticisms for it around here lmao - like sorry what in the fresh hell was the Cian situation. I also hate their staff! Not just Plugge! Many things to say about how many of the Rabobank guys are still there! which leads me to mention i think they're one of the worst teams out here about transforming donkeys into race horses and chihuahuas into mountain goats (i still love u babygirl but you were on thin ice for a while bc wtf was that) but lalalalala im not saying anything else God Bless <3

Obviously I like variety in my race results and I have not exactly been kind to pogi lately because of it and. Same thing here. Seeing them win all three grand tours last year made me want to seriously give up on the sport for the first time ever (and I've been watching since 2012), same with all the other stage race wins and whatever they're picking up along the way.

But what if I cared about their riders? WELL I DON'T. I only like Wout. And that's in spite of him being on the team, and as you might have learned from previous rants it is an uphill battle to still love him through his shitty team decisions. Every single other rider on the team are somewhere between I don't care to I actively dislike (tho I will always like a rider that transfers there a little less so I'm not being fair). Actually I like Campy which. sucks for me i guess. But he's just gonna be their old man jester for one year so wtv. all of the other guys tho? the jonis the seppies the whatever even the roglas and the dumos before? I SERIOUSLY DON'T CARE. and worse for some of them.

Which brings me to my last point. MAYBE I COULD LIKE THEM A LITTLE MORE IF THIS WASN'T FOR THEIR MIND BOGGLINGLY ANNOYING CORPORATE ADVERTISING. I'm so baffled their #samenwinnen shit actually works on people's brains and don't even get me started on the rpf implications here (hate ALL of it). All their PR and advertising revolves into a corporate neocapitalism with a gold bow regurgitated discourse of "we're all a BIG family here ♥" and it's sooooooo yucky wtf? I can't take seriously any content they put out, any interviews riders give while talking about teamwork yaddayadda. And I truly believe in my heart of hearts that their managerial structure is toxic as hell (why would it be different than another company going all in on the WE'RE ALL FAMILY model?) and that one day the Wout van Aert autobiography will give us all their secrets because he's the only one who has been a bit vocal about not liking how things are run here Smile (and then signed a forever contract. you got stockholm syndrome or what my dude). Anyways this makes everyone seem fake as hell and doesn't make me want to like either of them individually.

I'd also like to mention they're (i think. i admit i could be biased on that one.) the biggest offenders of having riders post their fucking kids online for race photos AND I CAN'T STAND THAT. Can people please stop posting their fucking kids all over social media? Can anyone be responsible over there? I wanted to call this a pet peeve of mine but like. Just don't do that for the love of god. I'm putting it here because I think the visma pr loves that shit and encourages it :)

thank u if you made it to there. please dont unfollow me

🔄 What team kit would you like to completely redesign for next season?

alpecin and i'm in 100% agreement over @pinkpogiclub 's observations about how we need to bring their red and white kit back.

also just. bora... and go back to green. like a few years before green a lot of green. im begging you. maybe light green (cannondale 2014 lime green) since this wouldn't be declared unlawful by the uci's new dumb jersey color rule.

[fcktaken]

Assorted random thoughts on cycling after spending several days in company of serious(tm) cyclists at Mont Ventoux:

Bitches you live like this?!

There's so many fun jersey colors, world tour teams do better (vlab you had one (1) chance!)

I understand the need to shear. Sorry.

Calorie intake is a difficult and serious business. Those gels are disgusting but oh do they work.

Cyclists really do not need alcohol to be stupid and inhibited. The exhaustion of 137km, 4495m/alt with descents at 90km/h is enough to fry a brain and make you smooch your teammates and/or rivals.

What's a relaxing coffee ride on a rest day for some (my 64yo father) can be a sporty ride on an electric (!) road bike for others (me) (I'll stick to hiking).

Making the peloton adhere to speed limits, especially in the villages, would be so funny.

They do see beautiful landscapes. Going downhill is fun!

But really you LIVE like this?!
