Pro-cycling thread

Damn this forum is fickle.

JuJu just isn't earnest enough. It's Belgian begrudging respect or Dutch dourness only while the classics are on.
Then when the mountains call. Then we can have our Tommy V impersonations.

those jumbo visma aero cervelos are properly gopping. that stem fs

From work Ive been aware of developing tech for diabetics to monitor blood glucose without blood tests but these guys seem to be working with Ineos and Jumbo Visma using Freestyle Libre monitors from Abbott for live feedback. Have these been spotted on riders arms yet?

I think it looks like a full size can of coke zero. FFS, ruining the traditions of cycling

disrespecting the tiny cola ? yellow card

Lots of people have started using glucose monitors for sport application since middle of last year.

I saw a photo of Froome with one recently too

Hayley Simmons has been posting about hers on Instagram and its use in guiding fuelling for training /intervals

I wouldn't believe anything a pro athlete says on instagram.

Missed this yesterday: Sagan dropped with 45k to go. :(

dourness

this seems to be correct: by the distance he put between himself and them.

just learned a new word, ta :-) https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/dourness

crosswind potential at tirreno today. all kicking off rn in time for me to start winding down from the working week

Relocating my office to the sofa for this. Alaphillipe & MvdP burning matches with 96k to go

My excitement about the upcoming 45k was definitely misplaced

Roglic is so good, but not very exciting....
He is pretty much perfectly made for a mountain train tactic, as he is pretty much unbeatable 600m from any summit, and can win/defend in any TT.

Looks good again now.
Tirreno-Adriatico certainly seems the race to watch this week, Paris-Nice pretty much a foregone conclusion.

Jesus, MVDP just turned it on at the end.

Predictable but still great to watch

WvA, the best leadout man in the business?

He just lit the afterburners, unreal.

His celebration made Julian’s yesterday look modest.

37 years to the day his dad won a stage in Tirreno
