Hatch and Blythe pouring fuel on the tubeless tyre debate...

pouring fuel on the tubeless tyre

Is sealant flammable?

Apparently Pogacar made some comment about how disapproving of white shorts isn't racism so his team has suspended him.

Is Wout camping round here?

Remco domestique just boshed his finish bottle for a leaddout on La Redoute

Racing boats ? Who cares missing pog now

I think Remco vs Pidcock could be more interesting than Pog riding off the front to take another win.

Not really.

Aged well

Hah, I was about to say the same!

Pidders not going so well on the up or flat at the moment. I can sympathise.

Fella going through the hedge was funny (assuming not injured obvs).

White shorts haven’t aged well

Remco’s mum ALL OVER Lou Lou at the end. Toxic behaviour.

Pog fractured his wrist

Second at LBL is clearly rubbish.

The Monuments are a bit boring aren't they? Well, the men's races. All 3 women's races this week were better than the men's.

That’s a hot take, Paris Roubaix wasn’t boring, neither was the last 15 minutes of San Remo.
I grant you that the suspense disappears when the likes of Evenepoel or Pogacar attack 50km out and put 1-2 minutes on the chasers.

I should have excepted Paris Roubaix. Paris Roubaix should be held every week even if this year's race was made a bit anti-climactic by a crash and a puncture (or two if you include Laporte's)
'The last fifteen minutes of a 300km race were great' sums it up really. Cycling is stuck with these five races that count for everything when Strade Bianche has shown that new races can be just as, if not more, challenging and interesting - and beautiful. I'd love to see 5 new races created and the whole lot rotate over a two year cycle but I know it's impossible.

Black shorts for the podium the coward

It's a plus one from me, Will. P-R is fantastic but the others need shaking up a bit.
I'd vote for introducing a short mad one. The twenty20 of cycling.

Could call it Hammer?

I see what you did there

We only had one monument this week.

Anyone who thinks MSR or Flanders needs shaking up can do one.

The whole point of MSR is the building up of anticipation as they get closer to Sanremo.
