The go-fund me for Adrien Costa has reached its $100,000 target after 2 days. And, think what you might of him, $10,000 from Lance Armstrong is a fine gesture.

That’s a really nice donation from USPS...

Rather odd question but this seems the best place to ask it.

During the Tour a pro was tweeting about some electric shaver he uses to do his legs and it was a sponsored thing, but he said although he got it free he'd absolutely use one and recommend it anyway.

I now can't find any evidence of this tweet and am wondering if I dreamt it but I'm probably not searching for the right words.

Does this ring a bell with anyone?!

Fad Gadget.

Just checked this. Jan Ullrich was 23 when he won the tour with 9:04.

was it this? post on IG by alex dowsett?

Christ. Cringe level 10.

World class legs there

we are looking to get a freestanding bath like that, I still won't shave my legs though.

Karel Vacek as well and possibly this guy?

DPA are reporting Ullrich has been taken to psychiatric hospital. He suffered a panic attack on release from bail.

World class bath that ... but no Amazon link in his IG post? Noob.

Egan Bernal fucked his teeth and face and had a bleed in his brain. Thanks EF.

I think it’s a bit of a dick move to blame a rider for making a mistake. I think it was mentioned in the cycling podcast that after 200km and hard racing a lot of mistakes happen. 1 in 100 lead to an accident.

Ben King averaged 70th to DNF in every one day race he has ridden and shit the bed when he found himself in the selection. There is a duty of care.

Isn’t that a fairly average statistic for a domestique? Most will drop out of a one day race when their job is done or tick along to the finish if it’s relatively close.

Yeh, dubtap, your dislike of EF is tipping over in to something that will end up costing you a lot of money in therapist's bills.

Yes exactly so when you find yourself in a place YOU SHOULD NOT BE IN AND HAVE NEVER BEEN IN BEFORE you need to pay some fucking attention.

Orly? E-celeb status confirmed.

Am I missing something? Ben King rides for Di Data, not EF.

Ben King was freaking me out well before the accident. He was in the front group and seemed to spend most of his time trying to see what was happening behind him, with consequent heart stopping drifts across the road as he looked back.

It came as no surprise that he was the cause of the crash.
