Tom Pidcock Propaganda

Just look at the instagram profile for his dogs. That's all. Yes I suppose he races sometimes too, but more importantly, dogs.

Julius Johansen Propaganda

my Vuelta 2023 randomly assigned little guy to cheer for when we did that in the discord. It was memorable when he got to GC position 113 with a time of 13 hours and the start number 134: the number 13 is fitting because he is not a lucky guy. He got covid. He got to be in the Weird Vuelta we had this year. He's on Intermaché so he had to ride for Rui Costa. He crashes in weird ways such as in the latest Post Danmark Rundt, which he began by breaking his bike in half, forcing him to use his spare training bike for the rest. He then crashed into a family's lunch table and a haybale, drove into a curb, stuff like that. Maybe some of it is less bad luck and more a skill issue, but nevertheless he keeps being optimistic about his chances. He's currently without a contract for next year, but personally I think anybody should be glad to have him solely because he consistently has THE best hair in the peloton.

Tumblr’s favourite cyclist is Tadej Pogačar!

Second place is Jonas Vingegaard, and third place goes to Wout van Aert.

It’s been a pleasure running this poll for you all, I hope you’ve all enjoyed voting and propagandising as much as I have.

Neilson Powless is through!

I mean just look at how happy he was starting that many days in the polkadot jersey in the tour this year

how can you not love a man getting back to such a good level after that harrowing crash. The drama of the 16 sec he had left in one of the mountain stages in the tour of 2022 was *chef's kiss*

Third-Place Playoff: Matej Mohorič v. Wout van Aert

Wout van Aert Propaganda

muddy wout. you agree

Look how pretty he is. Look how dad-shaped he is. Don’t make him sad.

I’m gonna be honest with you, I don’t think he’s pretty. But he’s human. He’s fierce. He never gives up. He comes back from having a rag stuck in his chain to freaking winning races. He comes back from giving it his all in pulling to… pull again and leave all of his leader’s adversaries behind. He may not have won much this year, but he still gave 125% and it was a joy to see.

And

Most importantly

He’s kind!

He has kind eyes. He is friend-shaped. He is generous with his teammates. You can tell that, while he’s focused on himself (as every and all athletes), he never forgets that he is not alone in this, and he honors the other cyclists both from his team and the peloton as a whole. He doesn’t leave people behind. He passes on victories to reward the efforts they put in for him in past races.

He has honor and courage and class and panache. So so much panache.

He is, truly, my favourite cyclist.

Does multiple disciplines, good accent, and has a nice youtube channel with a nice homemade feel to it and POV videos of courses, which I find interesting! Also wore some terrible looking kit while he was with trinity racing.
