Are you following the #giroditalia or even want to attend a stage? I've built an #ios app that lets you see all the stages on the map and find a good spot along the route.
In addition to the route, you can also see the elevation profile and the mountain classifications. So it's also worth using next to the TV. If you fancy trying it out, here is the #testflight link:
#CouchPeloton who is doing the English commentary on the world feed for La Vuelta Femenina? I don't recognise her and she hasn't mentioned her name since I've started watching. #procycling
As was the case many times passed spring classics season the women's race today was far more entertaining to watch then the men's race. Next year we should show 4 hours of the women's race and do a 10m highlights off the men's race when the women have finished.
Last year we had Fem vs Puck vs Shirin with Lucinda Brand and Ceylon Alvarado always close at hand. This year Puck was Mtn Biking and Shirin was injured. Fem won everything and Ceylon and Lucinda won when she wasn't there. Other than Zoe Bäckstedt not much happened.
The men's side was similar. Last year we had the Iserbyt vs Sweeck grudge match in the early part of the year, followed by the Big Three lighting up a number of races and the Rainbow Jersey being won by inches. This year, Wout was a non-factor (trying to lose weight for the Giro?), Pidcock was also a non-factor (Mtn and Road). Sweeck had a terrible year and MVDP won everything by a country mile (or kilometer).
Kinda boring if you ask me. Hope next year will be more interesting!
I don't have much hope for this, but I will see if crowd sourcing can help at all.
I am a stranded US #procycling enthusiast. I was stranded by the closure of GCN+. The only way to cobble together the same coverage previously offered by GCN+ is to sign up for 3 different streaming services. That sucks.
I would like to sign up for UK (or any Euro) #DiscoveryPlus .
I can sign up for the free parts of the service using a VPN. I can start the signup process, but I cannot get any form of payment to go through. It won't (apparently) take my US credit card and my PayPal won't log in during the payment process.
Has anyone accomplished signing up for Discovery+ from the US? Any ideas for me to try?

Enfin, toujours sur CyclismeRevue, Rémy Rucquoi a pu interroger Arnaud De Lie (10 victoires en 2023) sur ses objectifs en 2024 : les Flandriennes, un premier Grand Tour et une sélection avec l'équipe de Belgique https://cyclismerevue.be/2023/10/23/arnaud-de-lie-interview-2023/
On poursuit sur CyclismeRevue nos entretiens avec les cyclistes wallons du moment : mon collègue Rémy Rucquoi s'est entretenu avec Lionel Taminiaux, qui revient sur une saison 2023 "en dessous des attentes". Il espère rebondir chez Lotto Dstny l'an prochain mais annonce : "Ce n’est pas mon ambition d’être équipier à 100% pour un leader" https://cyclismerevue.be/2023/10/20/lionel-taminiaux-interview-2023/
Le message de Sonny Colbrelli pour Nathan Van Hooydonck, tous deux arrêtés en pleine carrière par une anomalie cardiaque : "Je sais ce qui te passe par la tête. Je sais ce que tu ressens et ta douleur. (...) Mais dans ces moments, nous devons rester forts et se rappeler que nous sommes vivants" #cyclisme#procycling https://www.instagram.com/p/CxbMCITreCj/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==
Sad to see Kuss being dropped, even if it was just a little. Hopefully this was just his one bad day, not too shabby considering we're in the 3th week of his 3th grand tour of the year. But because of today Jumbo-Visma is definitely not going to bet everything on Kuss on l'alto de l'Angliru. If he wants the red he's going to have to follow Vingegaard. 'De dood of de gladiolen' as they say in Dutch.
