Pro-cycling thread

well lets just experience this thing through my mobile phone screen..

other people. insufferable.

What channel(s) is the Dauphine on? Can't see anything on Eurosport and just a highlights show on ITV4...

I think it is on Eurosport, they were showing ads for it during the Giro.

Red hook crit is just round the corner

Yeah bro, you can win this sweet paintjob this year bro we should totally enter I'm like pushing 2.5w/kg and could totally bump that up to three with some actual training lol

Sven has signed Tom Pidcock for Telnet Fidea for the next two cross seasons

Cheers - whatever app I was using to look for it last night is obviously shit.

Good move for both parties hopefully. It looks like he's going to follow the Van Der Poel/Van Aert route of racing cross for a few years before venturing into the World Tour.

Would rep, can't

It is actually quite a sweet paintjob tho.... : /

And going on to win a lot of stuff. He's incredible.

Hopefully. But an awful lot of riders who are outstanding as juniors fail to make the step up to the pro ranks.

Yeah. Hopefully he gets the right support he needs, on and more importantly off the bike.

hooray for that!

Sven's cool - it will all be OK.

crosses fingers and hopes it will be OK.

Big announcement - Sky to wear a white kit for the Tour.

Yawn.

I saw it in real life the other day, looks mint. My kids loved it - "Dad, why haven't you got a cool bike like Alec?"

I think I just was this bike on Hackney Road.

Because they're whiter than white?

Probable. My friend Alec has the road and track versions (he rides for the team that were issued with them for the Red Hook Crit series).

Probably some kind of heat reflecting marginal gain.

Probably some kind of selling more shirts to our fans gain. It's all a bit football if you ask me.

No fans of cycling buy Sky jerseys.

friends don't let friends buy sky jerseys

The last bit of Sky kit I saw on a bike this week was some bibs being worn over some MTB trousers. Oh yes.
