Pro-cycling thread

Team say they have footage but I doubt it will get released.

To be fair? You realise you’re on the internet, right?

You have a point.

Isnt the recommended break from cycling following a concussion at least 3 weeks? Cav only took 1, and was back racing in 2. Crazy to think he was hoping to start stage 2 with a broken rib too.

It was reported he hit a pot hole, which can be hard to avoid when you’re in a pace line.

I don't know but suppose if you're in a position where you've MRI's and super health care you might be cleared earlier. But that's supposing they did that.

So, Kittel finally wins again today at T-A...

...and quite interesting (well, I thought so) to see who was fourth after being locked on to Sagan’s wheel for the last km, testing his sprint before M-SR, and finishing ahead of Gaviria, van Poppel, Ewan, Modolo...

Exactly what I was just thinking. Gaviria seemed pissed off Kwia had the temerity to get himself up there with the sprinters.

Got to love Kwia. He’s won races in so many different ways. He’d be a bit more loveable if he left Sky.

Interesting break composition at Paris-Nice today, with BMC’s Dylan Tuens part of the 13 man group. He was less than a minute down on GC though, so his fellow escapees have somehow convinced him to sit up to give them more of a chance of staying away and contesting the win.

I’d love to know what was said.

De Gendt is there and is known to "captain" breakaways, probably something along the lines of "you either pull us all the way to the line, and none of us work, or fuck off"

"200 euros from each of us to fuck off back to the bunch?"

He could also just sit in though, knowing the break would remain doomed if he stayed.

I don't know, I'm not watching until tonight. Shit.

Spoilers!

This made me laugh hysterically.

HA!

Le whoops

It's like the "we cut off the wrong leg" joke.

Strong 2nd place ride by A Yates today. Roglic = beast.

Odds on David Millar to become the UK-Kardashian Godmother have now been slashed.

Not sure if aqua blue sport is a cycling term or an infomercial.

Unfollowed all their riders. Was that their aim?

The Giro is 500k so not taking part in that is a start.

Chute de Wout! Noes!

Sorry can you elaborate? We must be looking at different social networks

The plan is for the team to be self funding through their ecommerce activity within 3 years, so it is an infomercial. Just like every other cycling team.

Yeah but it’s a bit irritating no? Someone needs to explain to them that to get activity they need to generate content not all post the same link with some fake love.
