Pro-cycling thread

Why are we getting all fizzy cocked over MVDP twatting a load of people in a sprint in, what looks like, a pretty low key race?

nuts like his season so far. or his career, even.

We’re not. We’re getting fizzy cocked because of how he’s racing this spring.

Wout is sexier.
Always.

will it be fun to watch when WVA and MVDP end up at quickstep?

Such sass, such snark.

The MVDPWVA backlash starts here

Can we criticise the tactical white bib shorts?

He wore those so the team could identify him more easily in overhead tv shots, allegedly.

Seemed to be a lot of crashes yesterday in Basque Tour more so than usual in one day.

Enjoyed the latest "EF Gone Racing" when Bettiol gets his phone out to show how many congratulatory messages he's got - rather exciting contact name for his first email!

Hah, yes - I googled it when I saw it and found the same - wasn't really pushing the deep conspiracy angle, just found it rather funny.

On a more important note - didn't think the video was as good as the Hayman Roubaix winning 'Backstage Pass' one.

Cycling News picking Taylor Phinney as one of the top ten riders for Paris-Roubaix, I know he did well last year but its a stretch.

And no doubt now I have said that he will win.

Anyone but Phinney please.

His three consecutive DNF including RVV are to put everybody off the scent

It looks like it's run by a 14yo.

His results there are pretty consistent and better than other 'favourites'.
However he'd not be top of my list of people i'd want to win Roubaix

Kristoff or Greipel.

Forecast is cloudy with a few showers! Maybe it's the year for a wet one?

Or you know, any generic Italian male.

phinney2winney ??

No chance of either of those two winning.

Maybe it's down to my recent injury, but hoping for a wet Roubaix just seems mean. Crashing sucks, especially crashing on wet cobbles. It's like hoping there will be black ice on a TdF sprint stage, or watching rugby and hoping some of the tackles lead to concussions.

But suffering
