Watching the highlights and seeing Pirazzi push another rider out of line in the descent so his teammate Ciccone could escape, what kind of tactics are those?! or was it just a missed corner? looked pretty blatant, wonder if he'll get a penalty for that

I saw that too, think it was more about Cunego feeling entitled to keep his line rather than having the VF rider turn in front of him and squeeze him out. Was a strange one anyway.

ah so it was Cunego? I edited the previous post, those ultra bright kits blinded me a bit ;)

funny line though!

I think they both got it wrong, and got in each other's way.

Kruijswijk too, he bumped into Majka he said, must indeed have been a tricky descent.

the Jens Voigt visit california advert is top notch

Dreamy Pete down and out in Cali, looks like a collar bone.

^Jesus it's bad.

Peter Kennaugh looks fucked in that TOC crash. Froome is going to have injured super domestiques coming into TDF fresh as fuck

Prolia advert with the horrific potential side effects breezily listed FTW

Neilson Powless is an animal

Be interesting to see what Landa does now. I suspect he'll be allowed a tilt at the Vuelta but would make a nice luxury dometique for Froome while he prepares himself.

Depends if he can maintain his current form I suppose

Who do people think will be Spain's protected rider at the Olympics? Valverde seems the obvious choice.

Wtf?

Living the dream

Cavendish is in the break of the day at the ToC! When was the last time that happened?

I really like the Tour of California - different countryside, different smaller teams who always put up a fight, close on GC, generally good camerawork, it's a nice break from the European races.

Didn't he get in the break at Paris Roubaix?

soon as that climb hits though

Sagan had that in the bag from the moment they set off I think

and a fucking solid 5th for @taogeogheganhart

Interesting profile on today ATOC stage, can Sagan do it again?

I would think not, if the GC guys go full gas

#armchairdsfail The climbs from 60 km on don't look that tough indeed and he's till in the peloton so you could well be right.

Ha! Love Rob Hatch's disdain for the models on eurosport

Yes Esteban!!
