Pro-cycling thread

What a mugging

Outstanding by Lafay. As the curtain comes down on Pinot the French have a new hero to worship

Pidders was too horny.

Sorry, what the fuck is going on? French winning TDF stages happens now and then? But Cofidis winning stages?!

The real winners today.

This thread usually prevails

Yep, Tour thread isn't needed, it could just be merged into the pro-cycling thread.

Where's @hippy when you need him?

I've said the same thing in the past. Needs moar merge

I know he gets his fair share of grief on here, and arguably some of it is deserved, but I had no idea how close Marc Soler came to losing his thumb after a crash at the Tour of the Basque Country earlier this year:

Apologies if it's been discussed at length before but what the fuck is that GCN tour bus nonsense? Jesus.

Come on Tim!

The rotation on this image!

A+ commentary from Kirby on the intermediate sprint there, maybe the best I’ve heard from him

I love Carlton. He’s so funny and clever.

Sock puppet account ^

Wow this is a dull stage.

standard sprinter stages can be that way when there is no meaningful break to catch I guess.

but we are in for a very technical sprint so the excitement will ramp up for sure.

particulary if snoops hasn't finished getting those sprint lanes painted in

Look on the bright side, we used to have a week of these at the start of every Tour.

Whoah we can get team radio on the broadcasts now?

Great for Netflix, interesting for us, but also interesting for the DS's in cars watching the stream on ipads

They’ve all been super dull so far

Can't watch because I'm at work.

Can't listen because Kirby is a never ending stream of ear piss.

One for the purists and the (admittedly spectacular) coastline admirers today. Can see it getting spicy in the run-in to Bayonne, though.

The teams get paid £5k for it and approve what goes out. 5 teams have refused to take part.

£5k? Feels like a pointless amount, covers the tiny cokes during the tour I guess

Jasper the disaster!
