Photo by @stortebekerHey folks,
Maybe I’m a bit partial, but once again a stortebeker photo is back on the cover of this summary. It should have been out days ago, but here it is now—because the Universe, as he says, sometimes throws us curves.
I’m paraphrasing from memory, which isn’t always perfect. Still, those bends and corners we cyclists have to tackle are what make us tougher and sharper.
You’ve got to get into the right position to turn without losing balance. In just a split second it can all go wrong. The experts say: brake a bit before the corner, then let go and allow the bike to roll with its own rhythm. Your legs need to be in the right position—but hey, who’s going to explain that to me down in the comments section??? 😃
So, the podiums were compiled with the data from 14 to 21 June.
There are new athletes, and others flaunting fresh bikes and even fresh crashes… and they’re hitting the podium too with supersonic average speeds. 🤣

I want to point out that @cositav was quick to join the Cycling ChitChat, sharing how she gets ready for rides, what she eats and when, and her love for calmer roads through more scenic areas—making the most of nature.
Thanks a lot, paparazzi. I also want to send you our best vibes, since we know things are awful right now in Venezuela after the double quake. It’s horrific, even though help is coming from abroad, the damage is huge. Stay strong, friend—we hope you, your family and loved ones are okay, without losses. Tough times, and now this… 😔
