Pro-cycling thread

chips?

They're frites for one day only!

poor lad - the mind is its own place and can make a heaven of hell or a hell of heaven
so many people suffer at one point or other of their lives - no need to do so in silence

The question is, will Eurosport leave the live snooker at 9:15 as suggested in the schedule? Don’t think they’ll fit in a minimum of 2 frames in the next 15 minutes.

Degenkolb gotta be worth a little ew at 50s, surely?

Blimey.

Kirby commentating is far worse than the food poisoning I’ve woken up with

Far too early for a beer isn't it? Isn't it??

Wide open race, am excite! 7 hours of the best race in the world, apart from Paris-Roubaix of course

Will Eurosport keep Kirby on for the whole race, or will he be subbed out with 100k to go or something? Even Carlton would struggle to keep a 7 hour stream of incoherent bullshit going

Does Sean Kelly have a cold?

Yeah. It’s lingered since the late 70s

It's at times like this I wish Oliver would go on one of his thread sprees and start one just for moaning about commentators.

Rob Hatch/Rob Hales on Eurosport Player apparently. Just taking out a subscription now

Kirby/Kelly on the player as well. Sad face

They won't be on the entire race.

White bibs mvdp :(

Be careful what you wish for; Declan Quigley is on later.

There’s a second stream on the app I’ve found with Hatch/Hales

Need more mayo.
Maybe go to Lidl/Aldi and see if you can get some?

It's at times like this I wish Oliver would go on one of his thread sprees and start one just for moaning about commentators.

Well, I might, only (a) on the rare occasions when I watch bike racing live, it's usually in Germany, and (b) even if it's in English the commentators don't bother me much (partly because I don't have a clue myself, so complaining about their lack of knowledge would be a touch presumptuous).

Neighbours coming round for food at 4. This mob of slackers had better be finished by then.

Picking a winner today feels as much a lottery as choosing a horse at the National (most years). Would love to see a new winner. Or Kristoff.

Daft crash that

Looked super painful :/

Looks like he has recovered, he hammered it up the Oude Kwaremont

Good recovery but was at least possible there, it's a funny climb with the lower cobbles probably not as bad as the flat bit at the top so I reckon he had the right idea to smash it at the bottom.
