Pro-cycling thread

yeah, but jumbo have got exactly who they want in this group and they're a minute up the road, the chase is tearing itself apart. there's no reason to make their life easier

G'wan squanch

Plucky Timmy Piddock in the break-off!
He’ll have Sir Alec Ferguson in his earpiece giving him “the hairdryer” no doubt!

Alan Philip not having the best race.

Alan, Julian AND Philip having a terrible time all of them. What are the odds!?

Bollox Tiz …. Am I really going to have to give ‘kin Disney money …. ?

Yes, you’ll have to wake Walt Disney from stasis and press a tenner into his cold, clammy paw.

Teeny tiny Tratnik being absolutely loomed over by his team mates.

Short king

Did you know: Neils Poulet’s head tube is taken from the same stock of streetlamp that can be seen on the dual carriageways of Flanders (in the month of November)

My son has decided he is a Lotte Kopecky fan.

Who isn't?

Excited for the Gurn-Brussels-Gurn tomorrow?
The course named after the faces the riders pull when they are tackling the huge mountain climbs the race is known for!

Why is @ukcyclingexpert practicing their material in this thread?

I’m just keeping it alive for him

Don’t, let it die.

May the spirit of Sir David Basilforth haunt your dreams.

Very cool tho that Vos' back

Yeah, it was an awesome finale. Kopecky did too much. Vos was inch perfect.

Cunning like a fox as we say. Lotte was by far the favourite of the break, so fair play I guess. But as she couldn't lose Vos on the hills, well deserved.

Vos played Kopecky like a cheap fiddle. To be fair to Kopecky, Vos played all three of her race winning move companions like cheap fiddles.

Bit like Tratnik and Big Neil Pollitt, why he bridged then towed the wee man to the line.🤷

Assumed he was happy to get a big podium spot vs risking the group catch with Visma winning anyway and ending up in 10th…

Not a bad start to the weekend for Visma-LAB. Let's see what the other teams can do today. Shame there's no K-B-K for women!

Watched it last night and was thinking the exactly. 3 of their strongest riders forming half the break = sit on time.
