You sound like an angry PE teacher.

Channel that emotion and smash them in the 4x4 relay next year.

I can do joined up writing and use a computer. I'm over qualified to be a PE teacher.

For a fleeting moment today I thought we were in with a chance of a repeat of this, the greatest moment in Scheldeprijs history.

Was this the justification you needed to buy those special podium shoes?

Great last 40k at the Basque tour today.
I have a dream that Roglic wins the Giro, Vingegaard the Tour and Roglic the Vuelta.

Plucky Tom Pidcock will remember to eat food and win everything

If Carlton Kuntby fancies Rigoberto Uran to win today again I think I'll scream.

Nothing against Uran but he's not exactly a prolific bike race winner. Also tipping riders to break away from the field when they're going up the road for a bottle.

Also colour order, I'll be bound, toot on the bidon etc.

Every corner on a mountain road goes around a headland.

Haino out!

he’s got a crush on Chaves as well

In all fairness, Chavez does appear to be very likeable, even my wife would admit to a crush. He probably hurls puppies into furnaces for fun.

Less excusable is lauding someone obscure as a likely winner (cheeky bet) in the hope of being right just once, despite the bleeding obvious.

It will always be Cunton, not Carlton, his skills are at the same level as an amateur draughts player commentating on chess.

Hopefully his week of Basque blather will render him incapable of ruining either version of P-R. I honestly wish no great misfortune on anyone, but a 6 month long case of laryngitis is something I would sell someone else's kidneys for.

And all he had to do was ride in a straight line and he would have beaten Cav in MSR.

Women's PR coverage is very confusing because they seem to be tracking the transponder from Vos's old bike on the team car after she punctured

UAE bar tape is exceptional

Got any reference? I'm too lazy to search meself

TA, that's lovely indeed. Although the bike could do with some more joyful design. Colnago lost it's mojo a while ago. At least they're winning again though.

Quite a final! I was rooting for Markus to get the chance of a lifetime, what a desception for her... But very pleased the break made it to the end.

Podium bucket hat!

very matt hayman vibes but no prior husking with sky, excellent race!

Best Paris-Roubaix in years and she so deserved it.
Excellent result in the Itzulia again. It's all going to plan.

Have to agree, Will. She was constantly doing longer, harder turns than her breakaway companions, definitely the driving force behind the break. I thought she might be doing too much, but there was no way she was losing that sprint.

Definitely. What a nail biting last few kms.
The commentary team is good too. So much better than the Hatch Kirby Kelly bobbins.

She the one who did fuck all in the break for 30km with the excuse of Kopecky behind and then took herself out with 150m to go? Lol.

Great day for Canada, she did what Steve Bauer couldn’t.
