Pro-cycling thread

I wouldn’t put my hand in the fire for anyone on that list, but the two that I’d be sympathetic towards are Evans and Sandy Casar.

There’s no trace of dirt on either of them. Which by itself is impressive.

I was only really baiting the hook for Hippy. You’ve got to amuse yourself somehow warming up on the trainer.

E3 today. Look forward to seeing QS take out the disappointment of getting nothing at MSR. Am I right in thinking it’s broadly the same finish as Flanders?

Boigneberg, Eikenberg, Stationberg, and Kapelberg all follow, but an undoubtedly crucial phases of the race will be Paterberg and the Oude Kwaremont, the Tour of Flanders pairing tackled in reverse order here with around 40km remaining. After that it’s the Karnemelkbeekstraat and then the smooth but draining Tiegemberg, before the run to the line.

E3 I love this race. Just so happens i'm off today so i'll indulge myself by settling down to watch this, this afternoon

Anyone know where I’ll be able to find a e3 stream later?

I've heard rumours some people sometimes use this

You like seeing Cadel even more than me?

Have we learnt nothing? #bumface

Looking forward to seeing how Mikel Landa fares in E3 today.

I'm recording it so nobody tell me

Probably a good idea to avoid this thread #alwaysthinking

Belgian youngsters remain enthousiastic for pro cycling. E3-prijs .

I always think he looks like he should have a slot in the top of his head. Just pop in a coin and he’ll come out with the usual ‘awww look, yih no’ bullshit.

Poor Kristoff; that EU kit...

Sure nobody forced him to wear white shorts with the jersey. It looks ludicrous with the white arm/leg warmers.

yeah naa

Forget motors, they need to ban white shorts.

Surprised that Wout Van Aert wasn’t on the start line this morning, thought he’d want to test his legs ahead of Flanders.

Norwegians don’t do fashion.

It looks Cipollini could have worn it.

Eurosport coverage not starting until 3? Seems a bit shitty.

Isn't Sastre meant to be clean?

He was, last wednesday, in the front group again as we are getting used to

He had a reputation in Spain for being clean, but if you look at who he rode for, and the era he was competiting in, you have to wonder.

E3 - Wow , massive crash in the bunch....
