i bet there are people on tumblr talking about the us pro cycling challenge and i’m just not seeing them

but can we talk about

  • how tommy just barely held on for the stage win yesterday
  • how fucking fast they were going down independence pass, like 55mph, which is way faster than i would ever go in a car down that road, much less on a bike, much less on a bike in a pack of 20 other bikes
  • how cruel it is to make them go back up independence pass after they went over it yesterday from the other direction
  • how ridiculous it is that they can cover 120+ miles with 11,000+ feet of elevation gain with an average speed of over 25mph
  • their quad muscles, jesus, their quad muscles
