known as @cycloben2. #CyclingBlueSky cycling enthusiast, predictor, wannabe transfer analyst & not-so-occasional overthinker. fav things in life are pavés and solo victories. weekly pieces here:
finally! this means that cycling-related bluesky-exclusive games can now be made by me for the 2027 season :) more on the format later in the year.
Itzulia, Region Pays de la Loire Tour, Paris-Roubaix, the most important elections of my life... needed an hour of music last night.
Vilmos Vanczák and Paul Seixas under an umbrella? never thought this would happen... until I haven't found a crazy wave of thoughts that will be included in the 'box' - coming tomorrow.
If Tord Gudmestad keeps this leadout performance throughout the year, it will surely encourage scouts to buy former or current Uno-X leadouts to accompany their sprinters. They really have been collectively the best in the business for years, and it's incredible that almost no one notices this.
After 39 months, I finally visited a cycling race. And for the first time, I was at the start and the finish, as well. It was superb. Thanks to Denmark for the wonderful organization, I'll keep my bucket hat as a lifelong memory #PNDKR25
This and Tour de France Femmes. Alas: how to make yourself an open-air screening of an evening stage. #TDFF2025
A positive thing for neutral fans: Arkea-B&B Hotels had 3 riders in top 12. Probably their best performance ever on a mountainous stage at World Tour level. Vauquelin still doing some heroics but Rodriguez and Garcia Pierna both deserve their flowers. #TDF2025
sacrificed my umbrella for this picture. really cold, only 16 °C now in Budapest, today would be a perfect crosswind day on an appropriate terrain.
Pros of a late late homecoming yesterday: calling a home office day to watch an epic finale of #TDF2025
Lorenzo Fortunato is in historic heights. 319 points in KOM classification, most since 1982 in Giro. Highest KOM score in this millenium on Grand Tours: 324 by Richard Vireneque on Tour 2003. Really close to this record.
Could have been angry about that, but simply: thanks (?) I mean: at least, making others feel something through writing was my goal throughout the last 4 years. If it's joy or this: it's almost up for interpretation. Happy the good sides still prevail.
Using a cycling broadcast for political goals isn't right. Yet, that's what Hungarian public media does with Tour de Hongrie as every minute on the screen, the VOKS 2025 text pops up on the screen instead of the channel that they broadcast it. What is it about?
Update: arrived safe and sound, it was as smoothless as it could have been 🤩
Film review of 'Do not expect too much from the end of the world.' This is a 5* movie. Rare review, but director Radu Jude really captured the Eastern European reality very well with a lot of sarcasm. Ilinca Manolache, the leading actress, carries the film on her shoulders.
Today we'll find out if David Lappartient will be the new president of IOC - there are better candidates than him (Kirsty Coventry, Lord Coe), but for the sake of cycling and UCI I just somehow wish he will win to have a chance to completely renew this organization.
Anyone wants to hear some film reviews from me? Finished my week yesterday with a Czech movie called 'After Party' - it's a 4/5⭐️ one from me. I kinda got into a good groove with alternative films these weeks so more will come soon.
Got an indirect answer. Pathetic. Case closed from my side, he cannot be saved.
Reminder why you should never ever believe in Lukas and moreover, never ever follow him anywhere, neither on Facebook, nor on X. Phrasing an official press release as his own without even mentioning the team is just plain ridiculous.
Never thought I'll reach that point where I'll cook from Tiktok, but today: it has arrived.
This book right here... Tears my heart into pieces more and more with each page. But it's something you all should read if you have a sentimental heart and mind.
Today is going to be a truly special and era-defining day in women's cycling as: • We'll see Demi Vollering in new colors after 1448 days • We'll see Cecilie Uttrup Ludwig in new colors after 1667 days • We'll see Anna van der Breggen racing for the first time in 1238 days • We'll see season debuts
Why does a race want to be even more controversial than they are already? This communication is like digging a 2 metre deep hole for a casket and than voluntarily jumping into it
