It might still be a long way off apparently 😬

Okay no breakaways for Tibor 😉 Yeah the stages look pretty nice for them, but I assume they will go all in for Jasper and Mathieu so not a lot of chances for Tibor and Emiel

A big group of women in cycling gear about to depart for a social ride to celebrate international women’s day

Happy International Women’s Day!

To celebrate we went out with ~70 ladies for a social ride 🫶🏻

For those curious what happened, Maas (BEAT) spat and it landed on Watts (NSN), Watts thought it was a deliberate action and blew off the handle. Watts came to the BEAT bus after the race to explain and apologized. Watts got disqualified yesterday and sidelined by his team for the race today

Not sure. Mathieu won’t do what he did in 2021 when he completely fucked up his Spring Classics after because he gave too much. Tibor will now not sprint because Jasper is there but might go for breakaways, Emiel definitely should try the more climby stages. But they will spare energy for later

Oh I just had to burst your bubble, sorry 🤦🏻‍♀️

Started almost at the bottom too

I wonder how many more wheelies will show up, that’s now two that we know of 😂

One more courtesy of the Rockets, on Via Santa Caterina 😂 #TBDG #TiborDelGrosso #StradeBianche

Yeah I saw that later as well

I actually applaud you for not having your phone out and just cheering on riders 👏🏻

(just use *Del with a capital D next time okay? 😉)

As he is not riding, no 😉

Going for a no hands wheelie on Le Tolfe clearly went through his mind 😉 #TBDG #TiborDelGrosso #StradeBianche

The rider that was hit has a sports director that also hosts a popular cycling podcast, I’m sure the story will come out later. No matter what happened, it’s no excuse to throw punches though

Story by Ashley Gruber about his she was asked to photoshoot Wout van Aerts Strade Bianche bike turned into Wout asking for his bike back to chase his kid across the grassy grounds of the hotel

Wout asking for his bike back that was being used for a photo shoot because he promised his kid a ride 😃 #WvA

Oh that sucks, that is such a long lay over while you just want to go home, cuddle Pogacat and sleep 😫

He has been DSQ-ed 👍🏻

I have no clue what caused it, I just switched from Strade, but no matter what happened that isn’t reason to throw punches.

Rider has been disqualified according to the commentator who listened in to race radio, they didn’t mention who it was though

Surely he will

Tarling was DSQ-ed during Roubaix so yeah, he actually could

Geen idee, ik schakelde net in

I couldn’t see, NSN Devo rider

What the… 😳 #SterVanZwolle

Ster van Zwolle wordt uitgezonden en is leuker om naar te kijken 😃

Public service announcement from Tibor Del Grosso: just ask before you start following someone out on the road. It's the polite thing to do. Be safe, be mindful, don't be a creep. #procycling 2m40s clip with audio

Yep, it was really well put. The running example made me shudder even thinking about it 😂

I hope you enjoyed your travels (did look like it!), safe travels home.

Yeah it sucks. I know rationally most guys mean no harm but still our fear response gets instantly triggered, it’s unfortunately how we are programmed. I’m quite happy to rotate on and off when they let me know but just sitting on is making me nervous as hell
