Pro-cycling thread

I must say that I'm a little surprised nobody's started the Fred Wright Fred yet.

any truth to the received wisdom that roglic doesn't go well in the rain? lanterne rouge kept going on about carapaz having a chance if it rained today, don't know if they're just going off the stage earlier in this race where rog had a wardrobe malfunction

It might be more that Carapaz goes well in the rain

some truly next level pish from kirby on de gendt's fondness for bbqs - left dan lloyd fully scratching his head

I heard on a podcast that Roglic has an outer layer of Slovenian sugar, whereas Carapaz is more of a salt crust guy. Since sugar dissolves more easily it's clear Carapaz has the advantage.

Or the Wright Said Fred

Dangerously close to sounding like Kirby ... !

Fuck off, that was punning genius right there!

cofidis' rider's arse is foaming

Good to see Movistar once again smashing it, no doubt ensuring that by the time things really hot up in today's stage they're all completely cooked.

And Moviestar have all riders still in the race!

So you're saying carapaz's carapace is superior?

Down to 5 at the front of the peloton though. Still, they're doing a great job of doing Jumbo Vista's job for them.

Neither we nor they have any idea what they’re doing but it could work.

Soler !

do you not believe in movistar's #RaceSmart technology

Might be worth starting a Jake Stewart thread too, one to watch at FDJ.

movistar's #RaceSmart technology

Is that what it is? I thought it was RaceRandom.

Is the Sunweb guy in the break racing with an ass-saver?

is this bora rider out of contract at the end of the season or what

sepp kuss shelled for once

The Beast of Pamplona is unleashed

Carthy pulling his tripe out again. Relentless

But the Jaguar of Tulcán counters, don't think Preston will be pink tomorrow.

podium still some result for carthy. carapaz is flying
