Pro-cycling thread

You say that, but I think the response it got did the work for me.

I'd call that efficient.

Been out for a ride and only just caught up with today's results...

No love here for a great Vino-style win for Lutsenko?

Legs as strong as Kazakh steel. (Him, not me.)

Must be so annoying having your victory photo ruined by the fact you didn't get rid of your arm warmers...

I don't think there's love for anything that is 'Vino-esque' these days. Crooked shite that he is.

So why did Cav chicken out of that sprint? Only just seen him doing the useless lead out

I think his decision to spend all winter training on the track has left him severely lacking in the endurance department. He was last yesterday, so I was surprised to see him still in the peloton that close to the finish today.

There was a video from one of the teams cars (can't remember who) they filmed the last km and it was actually quite up hill nearly all the way to the line. May well not have suited him.

fuck, was there a roadie joke I didn't get there? The embarrassment!

It wsnt aimed at you sweet cheeks.

Hells yeah.

Love the overhead shot from 2:50 in this video showing Gaviria moving up inside the last km. Comes alongside a sleeping Sagan around 3:40... and he's gone.

I wonder what Kittel is thinking seeing Gaviria winning in T-A ?

thank god the tv-director got that at least, instead of someone flatting, falling or peeing in the back of the peloton

Anyone know when the full route for PR is released?

I doubt he's giving it much thought. That was Gaviria's first WT win. He won't be at the Tour so Kittel won't be challenged by him this season.

Kittel is a power sprinter, whereas Gaviria's is lighter and more of a leg speed sprinter. They could co-exist if required.

Like a boss Stevo!

Was great. DD are having a terrific start to the season.

Ex doper.

ffs, welcome to pro cycling.

ex?

Gutted for Thomas. Must be a right cunt to get done over at the last second like that. Still, he's in yellow tomorrow

Zakarin = Valverde Jr

Tirreno stage tomorrow might be cancelled

A great finish to today's stage, some really strong riding, especially from Henao and Contador (stuck in the small chainring, apparently), and a nice win for Zakarin. And that's all you got?

Awesome win for Zakarin. Thought Thomas was going to box him in. He really had to work to get around him.

Yellow till monday then seeing as tomorrow is now a bad weather duffet day.
