Pro-cycling thread

Apparently some of them have been seen on Canyon bikes this year so I think it's rumour confirmed. Could also just be that some of Legion are going to ride for a different team in Miami the brother's own who used Canyon last year.

Just checking in on how Plapp/Jayco Alula's "We're here to win every stage and the GC" goals are going at the TDU.

they are doing really well with Caleb 4th

Luke Plapp - ‘kin ‘ell …… ouch.

Is he wearing the 13 dossard?

Yes he is

Ugh that's nasty

(obligatory footballer rolling over on the ground having not been touched picture to contrast with real sport)

that DSM extra strong cycling kit fabric hasn't really caught on yet, has it? :-/

Same extent of road rash when I was 12.. painful

Nah

Lol that cannot be real

Looks like tyre tracks over the collarbone. Did the brief say ‘hit and run’?

"What's that Skippy, the Brits dominated on Australia's version of Alpe d'Huez and Jayco-Alula consolidated their dominance of 6th place on the stage again?"

Shame , but they do win the better commentators prize though …. I can’t listen to Jez Cox and Blythe so wait for the highlights where even Robbie McEwen , Anna Meares and …even …Ligget ( ! ) are so much better ….
Oh , and that DSM kit is goping…

Wow, Jayco really turned it around and came through in the end, just at a different race on a different continent so well done Dylan G.

congratulations Israel on the win!

That shot of MVDP flying past everyone in the cross today is quite something

Bonkers

Where the fuck did Pidcock come from?? Missed that bit.

That was hectic! Anyone hear what happened to MVdP? Camera didn't catch it. Props to WVA for finishing on just the saddle rails. One lucky fan got a nice souvenir!

Good angle here too:

Apparently MVDP thought the pole cover was soft and would yield when he brushed against it.

Pidcock crashed hopping the barriers on the final lap, which explains why he was so far back at the finish. He was with MVDP when it happened.
