if he had made a right turn here, he would have been so much faster to the finish

ikr!

Also on the whole 'Asgreen won on tube'd clinchers' chat; what happens if he had punctured? Vs tubs or those air liners from Vittoria where they can still keep riding even if they puncture.

Apparently Kristoff was running that Vittoria liner thingy in 2019 Gent-Wevelgem.

hippy should just buy they liners plus marathons

I had the strangest dream that Asgreen beat MvdP at the Ronde. In a sprint! Haha, yeah right.

3 Jumbo Visma riders were faster than Pogi in the Basque ITT, that must feel good for them

Richard Moore retweeted something from Kate Wagner a couple of weeks ago and she does a really good job of analysing races. Her piece on Flanders yesterday is superb:

Do you know of a ‘cycling writing collective’ called something like ‘bidon’? Friebe read from it a few week ago – something on MvdP’s final attack at Strade.

It’s a couple of Italian writers I think. He was talking about their work during their fake Giro coverage last May.

If memory serves be interviewed them too.

Too busy getting KOMs, he forgot about crossing the line first.

Thanks, I’ll listen back to that. Do you have a link to their work?

EDIT: found it http://www.bidonmagazine.org/

That Movistar training camp on Mt Teide end of March really got their veteran riders popping

Found this show on CyclingTips, a new video podcast about women's cycling, lots of discussion of racing.

Anyone from LFGSS know those involved?

Thanks for linking that. A great piece.

l'Equipe are reporting that Sagan could be joining DQS, facilitated by Specialized.

facilitated by Specialized.

Is this where @hippy 's money being spent?!

Straight swap with sam

what happens to Juraj?

Sam got sidelined alot by Bora, not sure he'd be that keen on going back?

GVA third at de ronde, and valverde won a race... thread's credibility is in tatters

Yeh i know

Valverde won the Spanish equivalent of a chipper and GVA has always placed well, he rarely wins big. Don't think we need to worry yet.

Bit weird given bora was built around him. Guess they want rid of his expensive contract.

Awkward for Bennett.
