66/1 on Campanaerts seems like good value

Nah mads P is pinging

Yeah - I’m saying it’s generous of the bookies to be offering an attractive price to punters given his form and the weather.

I’m so confident I’ve had £2 e/w.

Quick-step need to be shilling crappy leisurewear to make up for their classics prize money deficit

Burn.

If Quick Step win on Sunday no-one will care about yesterday, or performances in the cobbled races so far this spring. But it’s hard to see them winning on Sunday given what we’ve seen so far, they don’t seem to have anyone in top form.

yes

Mohoric always seems to thrive in extra long races tbf

Yeah but so does Mads and he's a better sprinter

It's not exactly going to be married at first sight Australia levels of drama. A pillow fight might be as juicy as it gets.

depends how many 'leaders' movistar send this year

Let's hope Bahrain get raided again, or perhaps a French rider is caught down the strip club. That would be fun.

Someone bring back Brad.

And the weather is gonna be shite so he's gonna eat the other little boys

Need to get Michelle Cound involved.

Once someone put a bottle of plastic water in a pillow when we were kids. Safe to say it didn't end well, for either kid.
Plus everyone knows you have it in the case, then fold the pillow in half and stuff it at the bottom, spin the material. Then you can do it proper.

Bloody cyclists.

My absolute disdain for the existence of Chris Horner is being tested by how much I fuckn love his stream of consciousness race reviews.

I'm wondering who the two bahrain riders that skelped me going up Teide a couple of days ago were.

I think I said ages ago I’d love to see him do his take .. really , really pissed like some mental Friday evening city worker , tie round his head , staggering about giving it large …. lots of swearing and “ knucklehead wankers .. ! “…. and then offering out the camera man …
… but he is good , very accurate on tactics , and clearly a proper race enthusiast …. just shame about his office attire …..

A few years ago I tried to see how long I could keep up with a couple of Astana riders going up Teide. Turned out it was a few hundred metres. And one of them was riding hands-free taking his gilet off.

I mean, wouldn't take long to stalk them on strava. Seems the modern way - just use a VPN etc for fear of restraining order.

Ken Sommer: If @Mads__Pedersen wins #msr2022 I will buy every single person who asks me at the classics a beer.

'Renewing this for @RondeVlaanderen!'

Just watched 2015 Flanders on the turbo. Monstrous ride by Kristoff. Attacked once and attacked hard and then stopped Terpstra from thinking about getting away by pushing a huge gear all the way to the line.

Kristoff was in golden form that week.
