Can we please talk about Josh's helmet tan lines? I am actually obsessed with them.

Also he did such a good job today at the Giro!!

Hello darlings and happy start of Giro d'Italia 😊

Hello everyone, little update:

We’ve had submissions open for a week now and 17 of the 32 slots have been filled. I will keep the submissions open for another week until next Sunday, and if we still don’t have enough we’ll go from there.

So if you have any cyclists you want to submit, shoot me a message on this account and we’ll get them in!

Welcome to the Tumblr’s Favourite Cyclist tournament!

This tournament is focused on the men’s peloton. If there’s demand for it and if I have the time, I’ll do poll for the women’s peloton after this.

You can submit a cyclist for the tournament by messaging this account with the cyclist you’d like to submit, and some propaganda for them too. For a cyclist to be eligible for submission, they have to have been active this year. Cyclists who retired at some point this year are permitted. You can submit anywhere up to five cyclists, but you do not have to submit that many if you don’t want to.

There will be 32 slots overall, but 6 of these slots will be filled by The Big Six (Pogačar, Vingegaard, Evenepoel, Roglič, van Aert and van Der Poel) who will get in automatically. That leaves 26 free slots for any other cyclists, no matter how obscure, who you may like to submit.

Submissions will initially be open for a week, but if we do not have enough cyclists by then I’ll keep them open longer and people who’ve submitted the maximum amount will be allowed more.

If there are more than 26 cyclists submitted, ones with the most submissions will get in. If there are ties for number of submissions that means that it is still unclear, we will run prelims.

In the tournament, each poll will last one week.

This tournament is run by @arriere-du-peloton.
