[Cannes 2017] La Rance est belle comme un putain de maillot de Jacques Anquetil et des micros saturés.

C'est Cannes, c'est cinéma. Et c'est aussi la folie sur /r/rance avec ce magnifique film:

Tour de Rance Vintage 2016

Il y des fois, où il faut aussi parler des vrais problèmes. Voici 20 minutes pour comprendre la Rance. Pour l'admirer entre amis. J'ai beaucoup aimé la partie maillots.

Cependant, là, il faut le dire, cette vidéo souffre d'un gros problème de prise de son. Bravo à toi, partageur de youtube pour le meilleur OUOUOUUuououoauzeououoOUOUOUououuAAAAouououou et la palme du meilleur film où tu souhaiterais que la stabilisation fasse vraiment un bon en avant dans l’intérêt de tous."

On ne ressort pas indemne de ce genre de visionnage. On conserve l'impression réaliste des freres dardenne ou Kaurismaki, sans pouvoir pleinement profiter du cadre. Mais cela reste quelque chose en devenir.

Je vous rappelle comme le dit le magnifique beau parleur de ce tour. WOUOUWUwuowuwouwouwouwuwouliliouowououwououWOUOUOUOU!

Giro Boss Vegni challenges Pogacar for Giro-Tour double: "There is little left to prove in the Tour"

WF:

Giro Boss Vegni challenges Pogacar for Giro-Tour double: "There is little left to prove in the Tour"

> Mauro Vegni, course director of the Giro d'Italia, has challenged Tadej Pogačar to try to win both the Giro d'Italia and the Tour de France in 2022. The last time a rider managed that, we would have to go back to 1998 when Marco Pantani won both races. > > In a conversation with La Gazzetta dello Sport Vegni suggested that it doesn't matter how many times a rider wins the Tour, because "there is little else to prove" after the first title. "I don't think winning the Tour three or four times makes much difference to a rider's career. If you win it once, you have proven that you are a great rider and there is little more to prove," said the race director, who is keen to see Tadej Pogačar take on the challenge of the 'double'. > > Twelve times in the history of cycling, the Giro and Tour had the same winner in the same season: in 1949 and 1952 (Fausto Coppi), in 1964 (Jacques Anquetil), in 1970, 1972 and 1974 (Eddy Merckx), in 1982 and 1985 (Bernard Hinault), in 1987 (Stephen Roche), in 1992 and 1993 (Miguel Indurain) and in 1998 (Marco Pantani). Chris Froome was the last rider to make a serious attempt to win the Giro and the Tour in the same season in 2018. > > "It's a shame that nobody seems to have the ambition to win the Giro-Tour double," Vegni continued. "If I'm not mistaken, Pantani was the last one to succeed. So maybe it's time for a rider to add his name to that list of honors."

Fourche acier 1 pouce?

Bonjour la communauté! Je cherche une fourche en acier pour freins à disque pour améliorer mon vélo jacques anquetil. Étant un vélo en acier un peu ancien, je suppose que la fourche existante fait 1 pouce.

Existe-t-il des fourches en 1 pouce qui peuvent accueillir des freins a disques ou patins? Je fais que tomber sur des 1" 1/8 sur internet et je perds un peu l'espoir. Merci d'avance !!

SERIOUS: This subreddit needs to understand what a "dad joke" really means.

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.

Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.

[Retour expérience]La vaccination COVID pour les 18 ans et + en obésité, et celle pour les pros à risque de + de 55 ans.

Salut tout le monde, ce ne sera pas un gros récit mais un récit tout de même. Dès l'annonce de Macron au droit de vaccination pour tout adulte en obésité avec IMC au dessus de 30 j'ai pas hésité à foncer sur doctolib.

Rdv pris hier pour aujourd'hui à ma plus grande surprise.

Rdv aux Hospices civil de Lyon. Pensant m'attendre à un énorme afflux de personnes je m'y rend en avance. Quel erreur, au final les personnes passent en vaccination par tranche horaire.

Pas de problèmes. Mais ne mettons pas les charrues avant les boeufs. Dès l'entrée on demande la raison de la visite, faut bien se désinfecter les mains,si pas de masque il est fourni par les dit(e) contrôleur des entrées.

Je me rend à l'espace de vaccination, il faut passer par l'accueil. Ils vérifient bien que nous sommes sur liste, une fois ceci effectué il nous est donner un questionnaire un peu différent de celui qu'il nous ai demandé de remplir au préalable. Il est au nom des HCL, je pense qu'ils ont donc leurs propres règles un peu plus strict qu'ailleurs.

Une fois ceci fait, rencontre avec le médecin avant vaccination pour bien vérifier si l'on prend des médicaments incompatible avec la procédure ou tout autre détails contraignant à l'acte. Pas de contrôle température ou tension en revanche.

Ni dans mon cas de question sur mon âge et IMC alors que c'est normalement requis pour ne pas "gaspiller" une dose envers une personne n'ayant pas à ce jour le droit de la recevoir. Je dit bien ça entre guillemet car pour moi ça reste utile mais la loi c'est la loi quoi, dans mon cas ça n'a pas été un frein à la vaccination.

J'estime important d'en faire la mention envers vous, non pas que ça veut dire qu'il est possible de grâter un vaccin à l'oeil, mais j'ai envie de dire pas impossible.

Ensuite vaccination, et surveillance pendant 15 minutes.

J'ai constater que cette surveillance est utile car dans les personnes s'étant fait vacciner avant moi deux sont tombés en malaise vagal, rien de méchant mais justement. Les personnels eurent la réaction direct de retarder les vaccinations des autres patients afin de bien surveiller ces deux patients et s'assurer de leur bonne santé avant de partir.

Dernière étape ils nous ait donné le certificat de vaccination, rien de transcendant là dedans. C'était donc mon expérience aux HCL pour moi en obésité +18 ans.

Je préfère commencer ce récit par mon cas pour apporter une comparaison à la vaccination de mon père (+55ans vaccination obligatoire en relation avec

Dropped my best ever dad joke & no one was around to hear it

For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.

I said "hey look, an escaPEA"

No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!

Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂

Six Degrees of Laurent Fignon

You've heard of Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon. Is there a pro cycling equivalent?

For example, can you connect every post-WWII pro cyclist to two-time TDF winner Laurent Fignon in no more than six steps?

A couple of ground rules:

  • A connection is made when two riders are in the same team in the same year
  • A rider who retires and becomes a DS doesn't count as a connection on the new team: riders only

I used ProCyclingStats to test a few out manually as, sadly, there is no Oracle of Bacon for the pro peloton.

So how close are different riders to The Professor? What is their Fignon Number?

Jacques Anquetil has a Fignon Number of 4 3 (thanks u/Jevo_):

  1. Jacques Anquetil rode for Bic in 1969 with Sylvain Vasseur
  2. Sylvain Vasseur rode for Gitane-Campagnolo in 1977 with Bernard Hinault
  3. Bernard Hinault rode for Renault Elf Gitane in 1982 with Laurent Fignon

Then The Cannibal, also a 4 is a 3 (thanks u/Jevo):

  1. Eddy Merckx rode for C&A in 1978 with Robert Mintkiewicz
  2. Robert Mintkiewicz rode for Gitane-Campagnolo in 1977 with Bernard Hinault
  3. Bernard Hinault rode for Renault Elf Gitane in 1982 with Laurent Fignon

The Badger, based on the above, has a Fignon Number of 2 1 (thanks u/Jevo_):

  1. Bernard Hinault rode for Renault Elf Gitane in 1982 with Laurent Fignon

Big Mig is also a Fignon Number of 2:

  1. Miguel Indurain rode for Banesto in 1990 with Abelardo Rondon
  2. Abelardo Rondon rode for Gatorade in 1992 with Laurent Fignon

Finally, we might have a bit of fun with this and determine a rider's Bacon-Fignon Number, being the sum of a rider's Bacon Number and his Fignon Number. It's just speculation (I haven't tested this all that much) but it is likely that the lowest Bacon-Fignon number is Lance Armstrong with a 5.

He has a Bacon Number of 2:

  1. Lance Armstrong was in Dodgeball with Justin Long
  2. Justin Long was in Beyond All Boundaries with Kevin Bacon

...and he has a Fignon Number of 3:

  1. Lance Armstrong rode at Motorola in 1992 with Andy Hampsten
  2. Andy Hampsten rode at La Vie Claire in 1986 with Philippe Chevallier
  3. Philippe Chevallier rode at Renault Elf Gitane in 1983 with Laurent Fignon

I'm sure that someone with a little coding skill could pull this together in a way that doesn't involve manually sea

These aren't dad jokes...

Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.

This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.

If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.

Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.
