First Eritrean, first black African (JB2 show mentioned an Algerian in the 1950’s, plus Froome and a South African) first black person ever to win a Tour De France Stage.

Johan needs to be there, lance needs his ego pulled down a few levels. Pro cycling is a very different sport compared to the 90s -early 2000s

First African too

I'm 56. Always a Lance fan. This just made my week and then some. No mention of drugs but I like that. Just rivals becoming friends and remembering the days. Thank you.

Guys , I would love to see Pidcock go over the Galibier with the leaders and decend like he did before on this mountain. Be fun to watch.

Thank you Kathleen for standing up for us

Lance Armstrong has the gaul to show his face at a race? man, no shame.

As we saw on stage 2, Jonas is a great puncheur also on shorter steep climbs. He just usually doesn't bother with those races. I hope he starts caring later. Probably if he wins TdF a couple more times he will start caring about these more. Would be very interesting. He could beat most there. Pogacar will be the main problem still.

Johan's depth of knowledge is just incredible. His passion for cycling is something to behold.

Seriously, we know you dont take Momentus Protein. You had to read it off a piece of paper…..come on at least make it realistic😂

Correct title : The Day Biniam Girmay has an African Cycling Dream!

Haha. There is no way this is full gas from bottom. No way

I don't understand why pog has to do all the attacking. I don't understand why UAE don't make Yates et al a factor in the GC to make Visma think

Cheating has a long tradition at the grand tours, riders even hid behind bushes during the race so they could wear the black shirt that belonged to the last rider in the peloton, not to mention doping and other crap. Only the naive think that cheating is no longer possible today, in some way cheating enforce competition and progress, but it's killing the spirit of the sports. What Visma can do with its van, if it is equipped with AI technology, is to collect and analyze data from the race broadcast and from other sources directly from the race field. If in addition, they include historical data in the analysis, it is practically possible to instantly predict the course of the race with a very high probability, over 90%, with AI models. No sports director has the capacity and efficiency to compete with AI models that use quality data sets for processing, so it is logical that teams will prioritize AI in terms of tactical directions. No sports director will object to the AI ​​if he wants to keep his seat in the escort car! Regardless of the complexity of the data analysis process, the results in the form of guidance for the cyclist can be very simple. So that the transmission of the tactical conclusions that the AI ​​model will reach in a second when changes occur in the race, from the "AI van-center" to the sports director and from the spot director to the rider, can take place in a few sentences. The cyclist does not need much guidance, just like in a car, the sports director increases and decreases the speed by pressing the pedal, he can also tell the rider to attack, wait... or use codes a,b,c...or smoke signals on mountaintops With AI the game is over and the big wave of AI is coming so fast that when it hits us the only thing left to do will be to unplug from the power grid to not watch the massacre. It doesn't matter where AI it's located, whether in a van or in the Netherlands, as long as you have access to the source of information (with the advancement of technology, teams will no longer need a van). It is impossible to completely limit the transfer of data to the rider and to the sports director from the AI ​​centers, so the key in the future will be to completely cut off radio communication with the rider in direction from the sports director to the rider. Paradoxically, the race for those of us who follow the race through the TV screens would become more interesting with the use of AI technology with more data at disposal, but the cyclists would be managed by AI like racing horses without any autonomy, and we would have fun watching.

Very happy for Bini, which is bound to be a huge motivation for many more Eritrean - and African - cyclists to take pro cycling. Also sorry to see Cav caught behind the crash and missing out on the sprint. Hope he can survive the Galibier and be ready for the next few sprint stages.

Let’s go baby 👏🏽🇪🇷 🎉. Thank you guys for the support ❤

Lance drawing circles is my new favorite section of the show. Up next: draw a triangle

3:00 - I tought those ketones help the memory and mental state overall... 🤪🤪

He said if 200 guys go to the line he probably will not win. It's totally wrong to say like that Armstrong.

5k today

You should see cycling in Eritrea. It's massive. There is lots of talent waiting for a chance. The boss of Intermarche said as much in a quite impassioned speech about how there's so much Eritrean and African talent with great engines but with little opportunities

What do we have in eritrea nothing but cycling and patriotism.

Eritrea is the epic centre of African cycling and the history of cycling goes back to Italian colonisation and bini is the result of this great foundation 🇪🇷🇪🇷🇪🇷🎉🎉

Today's stage win brought to you by a bowl of onions. That's "bowl of onions." Head on over to the kitchen to grab your fresh bowl and get those tears flowing.

This win will definitely set a stage for the new African riders

Molines was born in africa but was a french citizen

The first race was staged in 1946. It was promoted by the Italian community of Eritrea with the Italian name Primo Giro dell'Eritrea.[1] Its inaugural Tour of Eritrea had 34 participants and was won by Nunzio Barrilà of the team A.C. Piemonte.[2] It had five stages, with a very difficult Premio della Montagna (Stage of the Mountain).🚴‍♀️🚴‍♀️🇮🇹🇮🇹🇪🇷🇮🇹🇪🇷🇮🇹🇪🇷🇮🇹🇪🇷🇮🇹🇪🇷🇪🇷

History. The first race was staged in 1946. It was promoted by the Italian community of Eritrea with the Italian name Primo Giro dell'Eritrea. Its inaugural Tour of Eritrea had 34 participants and was won by Nunzio Barrilà of the team A.C. Piemonte. Most people don’t even know much about Eritrean cycling 🚴‍♀️ ( Eritrean cycling has been long gone since was 1946 Italy systems has in Eritrean history! 🇮🇹🇪🇷🇮🇹🇪🇷🇪🇷🇮🇹🇪🇷🇮🇹

Still wearing my yellow wrist band

Italy maintained some influence over Eritrean politics after 1948. Asmara, the capital of Eritrea, used to be known as "Little Rome", was one of the most famous destinations for both native Eritreans and Italian colonialists. The city still retains a lot of Italian architecture.

How do you boys not know the 5k rule change? That’s all Ned and David talked about here in the UK! 😂

gracias Víctor Hugo por valorar y dimensionar lo que consiguió Richard hoy...se habrá tenido que ser corredor de bicicleta como Tú para entender lo sucedido y lo que representa para ECUADOR Y para LATINOAMÉRICA...SALUDOS DESDE QUITO - ECUADOR

Cycling is the biggest sport in Eritrea, and its cyclists are the best in Africa - and increasingly among the best in the world. It's an odd byproduct of Eritrea's unique history, geography and culture. 🚴‍♀️🚴‍♀️🚴‍♀️🚴‍♀️🚴‍♀️🚴‍♀️🚴‍♀️🚴‍♀️🚴‍♀️🚴‍♀️🚴‍♀️🚴‍♀️🚴‍♀️🚴‍♀️🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇪🇷🇪🇷🇪🇷🇪🇷🇪🇷🇪🇷

The tour is loving the smaller teams have won thus far. Sadly, it’s gonna change soon. Soon we get to see the two skeletons on bikes fight it out.

I will buy everything they advertise (not)

The reason you guys don’t know things is because you just talk out of your ass. It doesn’t seem like any research is done. NBC mentioned this would be the first time the 5K rule would be tested. I thought Lance watched on Peacock?

AMAZING FACT ABOUT ERITREAN CYCLING. 105,000 tickets was sold out for the final stage of 1997 Tour of Eritrea. The Eritrean National Championship always has around 5500 spectators at the finish line. Cycling is National Sport of Eritrea.🇪🇷
