2014 Pro-cycling season thread

He's called McCarthy and he's wearing a jacket, a bodywarmer, and trousers???

selfie fail, he didn't include Kittel's SRM display

Sounds like an exciting stage in California yesterday.

Is it just me or does Phinney blatantly slag of Wiggins here?! Unless I've missed something about Sky tactics?

I think it's you. Do you mean the comment when Phinney says they would've gone faster if Wiggins wasn't there? He's saying that they (BMC) weren't going flat out in the front group because their GC rider (Peter Stetina) had missed the split and they didn't want to help Wiggins win the race.

Do you have to be ginger to be in Bissell?

No, just white.

Axel Merckx seems to have a 'type' then

Sprint footage from ATOC stage 1

You all have maybe seen this but I just saw on Kittel's twitter:

He should really apologise for bringing the McCarthy name into disrepute by wearing so many clothes.

Marianne Vos turned 27 today, which is worthy of congratulations of course, but not nearly as worthy as her 307 wins (as opposed to E. Merckx' 296 at the time of his 27th birthday)

I LOVE THE INTERNET

It's actually sumo.

Think that photo is hilarious, shame the Internet knives got sharpened so readily for such a young lad. Still a lesson in humility.

Kittel is ace, a rider I trust too, great response from him.
