Pro-cycling thread

I highbrowed for that. Don't know about the race though, how the hell he came in 2nd. But would be a nice addition to the peloton, another belgium with special attention. Just cause I'm able to watch belgium tv ya know, more juice.

Reportedly it was because they used x1 chain ring bolts instead of x2 chain ring bolts... So literally one thread engaged?

The UX on that website is do shit I can't even get to the article.

From inner ring:

‘ have to mention Chris Froome who was being dropped before the sprinters on some climbs’

I find the froome situation puzzling. On one hand after the injuries he suffered making it back to the world tour peloton is impressive, I am sure there are plenty of normal people who have had accidents like that and found themselves struggling just to live a normal life. On the other hand the after effects of that crash added to ageing means he is never going to get back to anything like the form he once had. Why is he continuing to race? Surely 4 years on from his crash he is no longer getting paid huge amounts of money to ride?

Anyone know if Giro highlights are available on terrestrial this year? Can’t find it on Quest.

I think he's the only person generating much media interest for that team right now too. That said, I would assume he'll announce his retirement some time this year

S4C have live whole stage and highlights at 9pm

I believe it is on Quest.

Retired last year so it was inevitable he'd turn up as a gravel pro

Especially as he is big mates with Laurens Ten Dam and regularly trains off road with him.

On Freeview looks like it’s on channel 39 (DMax?) at 1900 on the evenings. At least as far as a schedules are confirmed on the app. I can’t see it on Quest either which did surprise me
