quinn simmons crashed 🙌🏽

I read it as diurnal shits. Which I guess beats getting up in the middle of the night...

Mas eyeballing Roglic... looked like Frank Vandenbroucke and Bartoli on the Redoute in LBL'99, only he didn't finish it like VDB did.

Rog didn't even bother celebrating that one

He's on so many drugs he doesn't even know where he is. He tried to order a Big Mac when he went to the doping control yesterday.

It's fantastic to see Alex Peters winning again.

Here's to many more.

How did Arnaud Demare finish about 15 secs ahead of Rog and co today? Was he really far behind the break or survived in the main bunch?

He was in the break. Last rider from it who survived to the finish ahead of the peloton.

Thanks I must have missed him. Chasing sprint points?

Carapaz abandoned today too.

No mention of MTB World Champs in here unless I've missed it? Evie Richards becoming GBs first XC WC today and absolutely storming it. She also got silver in the short track on Thursday. Brilliant riding.

And nino's 9th title.... really bananas

Yes that is incredible and happy to see as he's had a pretty average (by his standard) season so far

There are several MTB threads I have on ignore where riding bikes in pyjamas can be discussed

I don't make the rules sorry

‘FROM THE DIRT TRACKS OF BENDIGO TO THE PAVED MOUNTAINS OF EUROPE ALWAYS WITH A SMILE.’

The jimjams downhill action is coming up today

Ha tough crowd. I've gone full circle, XC mtb is I find much more entertaining than most road races these days.

Brilliant result for Evie. Its been coming for a few years. Like her win at Namur and Neff at the Olympics, it seemed to be one of those rides where everything clicks. Especially pleased for her after the BBC described her Tokyo result as disappointing, despite her seeming elated!

Heard latest version of Zwift will have a new "safely taking a feed from a car" power up
