Sometimes I should watch images before I say something. Apologies to as I think that decision of the judge is too hard.

What an interview!
#TDF2023 @matmohoric
When went in the breakaway today I needed to do just one thing-fasten my seatbelt like the rest of the bunch did- an amazing performance by the most clever and strongest rider on earth! Enjoy that one @Lotto_Soudal and
A great rider and person had to leave in a bad way... thanks for putting the 🇩🇪flags up mate. Good recovery!
Dear ....Thanks for inspiring cycling talents + us and everything you did for especially cycling in Germany. I enjoyed riding and racing against you and wishing you all the best for your future and the new chapter in you life....
My apology go out to and as I have had not the right to make that tweet based on GPS time, which can be wrong, plus I got the incorrect times he lost on the last hill. I’m sorry. Lesson learned: don’t tweet about sth you are not part off.
Congratulations for you announcement yesterday and thanks for pushing me to the limits to become a better bike rider. I wish you lots of good moments in you final season!
Hey that was fun today...I loved every km of today’s stage.....Can we please go to the Pyrenees already now and skip that stage tomorrow?
Whoever designed today’s stage should try to ride with 180 riders on a twisty 5m wide road next to each other and pushing Wachbootes to the limits. Of course we riders make the race at the end but the riders also ask for an earlier time taking 5 km to go which was refused
Best support post surgery... Dr took good care about me and replaced everything what needed to get replaced. Thanks to the team. Now I just have to be patient to let everything heal.
Not sure if I wanted to experience this Mt Ventoux twice on 1 day. Thanks for cruising up in front to leave us in time! What a legend you are! Congrats for that impressive performance
Without words a picture that shows that GERMANY is cycling nation!!!! Thanks for everyone who made that event possible!!!!
So now all is out and Mr Marc Schmidt Operation #Aderlass confessed -we as atheletes would like to know the names who doped themselves ASAP please.
A clear example of unfair behavior…n my opinion there should be a rule not to have the last two sprints counting as it was a clear assault from Lampaert to take out Wellens for the sprints.
Quote
This stinks - UCI rules need a clause that leads not only to DSQ for a move like Lampaert’s but also to a penalty for an individual who benefits from unfair actions of a teammate. It’s a team sport.
No skinsuit just bibshorts and jersey and some balls…off we go to a bike race. What a rider Congratulations for another rainbow year…
Congrats to all finishers of and for winning it. Amazing win by for green and final victory... by the way is there anyone who can tell me how many victories has so far by leading out the stage winners? #bestleadoutman out there
RIP matchbox...can’t believe it how tragical our sport can be...all my thoughts to Björg’s family...
Here it starts again...due to my #mountainallergy I will be find at the end of the results for the next 3 stages....

What a shame for all commissars who were part of the decision of the U23 winner and disqualified him after he won the world champ title fair and strong. No words for that-by the way-other rides who used bike paths etc getting dsq straight away.

Another day in paradise to do what I love the most....cycling wherever I can, whatever the weather is like #passion
Really happy for this man to win his first ever Grand Tour Stage and writing history for ... well performed breakaway with to control the break while Alex brings it home!
nothing more to say about that decision of the jury-when you do your sprint you keep a line-I have no eyes in my back and I don’t let myself get pushed out of the way from nobody-hard to accept to get already robbed for the stage win and now the commissaries even take away 2nd???
Hello to everyone. First of all I have to say a big thank you for all the well wishes to support me in my healing process.I really appreciate every message even I may not answered them all.I’m already looking forward to hit the road in exactly 1 month but until then time
Au revoir -you brought me again new experiences which I will keep for my lifetime. Thanks to all @israelcyclingacademy staff and riders for the support. Good luck to all other riders to make it to Paris. instagram.com/p/CFQF6lsCjcz/
My opinion after today. is the strongest rider with the highest pain level . We are proud to be able to contest 4 a while!
What a nice parcour it is…strange feeling to look at the stages knowing that I won’t be there anymore…ok I confess I am also happy that I won’t be there during the hilly days
Merry Christmas to everyone and good times with your families....
During 15 years as a pro cyclist I never did a day like today .51.2km/h during 165 km.... I made the maximum to stay at the front of the race, just the last echelon I missed🙈😏...all the best to and after they crashed and had to stop
happy about @Lotto_Soudal for giving it all for the lead out-embarrassed by my own performance-congrats
When pictures saying more than words can describe. Thx @lotto_soudal, family, friends,trainers and everybody else involved. Thx
Here we go together with the team in my 15th season as a pro. Thanks to all partners and sponsors to make that project possible #cyclisme #passion @EKOIcycling #legendre #PlusQuUnMaillotUneEquipe
Stage 1 is finished... stayed save and enjoyed the incredible atmosphere in Belgium and Brussels. Congrats to and
Yesterday I was riding the last time with my @lotto_soudal team and jersey on Belgium roads. The race was tough and rainy but didn’t bring the success we wanted....Photocredit
Special win for me here after nice work of the @Lotto_Soudal on a #NewNoahfast Disc... thanks for the support of everyone
I don’t know what is more painful...the cold feet/hands while riding in the cold or the in shower feeling when hands and feet warming up again....

My reaction on an article in Belgium #typicalafterfinishlineanswers when I am disappointed. Maybe I am 36 but I take my profession and childhood dream as a pro rider really serious and the flow will come back in the upcoming races. Next race with a big focus @Paris_Roubaix
You know it is the end of when you have to sit down to wait until your coffee is finished
Replying to
It is getting ridiculous rules are rules but these things have to be changed. Riders are dedicating all winter to prepare the classics and this situation was clear not necessary to put a rider out of a race
Guten Morgen....Good morning....another day in paradise here with our kitchen chef
A big shout out to to his 4th place in the general classification...every year improving step by step to one of the best Grand Tour rider....
Thanks for all the birthday wishes.Start to get better after hangover. Good that I had a restday 2day.Was there already breakfast actually?
Tested my on today's stage +I was going so slow uphill-my device thought I was walking,4 sure it will tell me that I sleep good
No.100 on the 100th is something special.I hope it is a sign for something good coming up during the next weeks @Lotto_Soudal
About yesterday the last race in @Lotto_Soudal colors didn’t end like we expected after lots of punctures in our team but we still had a nice celebration to end a nice chapter-thanks for all @Lotto_Soudal
The worse pictures you can see in our beloved sport...there is just one thing to say-keep fighting . All our prayers and thoughts are with you and your family
Happy to be myself again with full support and confidence of the @Lotto_Soudal boys. Thanks to all the team....
How can it be possible that we have a war in 2022…my thoughts go out to all affected people…I just hope it will not continue like that #ukraine
I was definitely motivated before the start. Happy to help to defend together with the @Lotto_Soudal team the sprint and climber jersey

Paris-Nice

If a picture could express how deep I was going today -that one kind of suits somehow...Made the maximum possible with place 8....thanks for the support.
As the is out of the we are trying to go with this 11 to Paris and if the #AllezLesBleus get the 🏆 we are trying to steal it and bring it back to #Germany
Thanks for all the wishes for my birthday yesterday... I had a good day with my teammates in Belgium to check some parcours of the upcoming classics. We ended up with a boule match and of course the cake had to be finished too....#birthday #birthdaycake @israelcyclingacademy
Here we go for my 10th . Some wrinkles came together since I started my first Tour but I still enjoy this moment to be at the presentation and looking forward to give it all together with
1. I am really suprised how quite it is between the riders in the bunch about the first decent in stage 4. This was disrespectful towards all riders from the Organisation. Risking the health just to reach the end of the downhill-result: 2 potential GC contenders out.
Unfortunately not the way I wanted to finish my . 2 crashes and the last one 4 km from the finish let our amazing @Lotto_Soudal teamwork not getting the result we worked for-now off to surgery for my broken collarbone. #illbeback
Breakaway day succeeded with a 2600 m of climbing? Yes it is possible with a lot of WILL Power. Thanks for the good company and the good collaboration.
Just focused on the future. Already fully motivated for 2020.
Ich schaue nur nach vorn. Und für 2020 voll motiviert in eine sportliche Zukunft im Peloton.
That peaceful atmosphere during morning rides makes me feel happy and honored to do the best job on earth being healthy @Lotto_Soudal #hjchelmets
where is the point to let riders of a World Tour team, racing against U23 elite riders? You are destroying your own U23 class system and riders who are following a federation system aren’t even at the start line because the pro riders -23 years are taking there spots
Another year being selected for the biggest race on earth is a pleasure but also connected to lots of pain...I will enjoy it and fight together with the @Lotto_Soudal for the best possible results....

It took a few days but we could finally win a stage together with . Very happy to start up the season 2019 with an early win....
The last mountain stage is behind us and the last day in Paris to come. It has been a different experience to do the Tour this year but with and a Top 10 on GC with it was a quite successful thanks to all the fans on the side of the road.
So horrible to see that a stupid crash can make a full preparation/dedication for a goal turn into pain... words can't describe...
Sometimes it takes a bit longer to answer fanpost but soon or later it will arrive back to you... #alwayslate
That steep were some climbs...happy that the mountains are behind us. Thanks to all the fans for cheering us on!
Officially restday pictures from the @Lotto_Soudal team...#restdaysarebestdays thanks for the birthday wishes #legsup
Awesome job by the whole @Lotto_Soudal team during the this week. We tried our best today and ended up with a 3rd place. Congrats to for ending the season with another win. Thanks
Very delighted and happy that the team got the invitation for the biggest race in the world...We will be motivated and respectful with that honor and make the maximum in every possibility.
#childhooddreams
bit.ly/2moreISN I am very happy that my team and I are extending the contract for two more years until 2022. #FightAgainstALS #GorillaPower #YallaIsrael
Today #TDF2018 I didn't hesitate a bit. Just gave it all. I'd have liked to reward the great work of my mates at @Lotto_Soudal. Though it was not enough. We'll continue the good work. And even harder. 💪
#OneTeam #OneGoal #LiveYourDream #FightALS
Paris Roubaix-a race were you shouldn't stop to piss-shouldn't stop fighting-shouldn't stop believing and you should stop thinking-pain cave

bit.ly/AG19_PRE I'm very grateful for the cooperation we had in 2019 & wish the team all the best for the future.
Determination and a group of friends made our childhood dreams coming true the 2nd time. Thanks for the whole @Lotto_Soudal group 4 support!
I have to be honest that I won at least the "MOST UGLY FACE AWARD" in the sprint today congrats and thanks to @Lotto_Soudal boys
No better day than 1.11.2018 to prepare the next season 2019...easy run at 6am to get the legs and organism working again. #wheneverybodyelseissleeping
#chasingdreams
What an outstanding performance from today … surviving the last climbs… chasing …rest a bit and doing that sprint with 300m to go…hopefully he can start tomorrow and continue to fight for the points jersey.
While I’m riding in sunny Mallorca I am caring about the actual race situation and hope the gruppeto will be fine… due the race circumstances atm 😤🥴
Good morning to everyone and a nice Sunday...make the best out of the last day of the week and don’t forget to #workout if you forgot during the week😉
