Missing GCN+ right now

chapeau to the disaster

man, you are more delusional than me! i respect that

R Pidders descending though

Discovery+ is essentially the same service.

Noted, I'm being a luddite. Trying to wait for a highlights video is a bit too Likely Lads, I'll get a subscription in time for Flanders

It is essentially the same service but for twice the price if you do 12 months. Missing November through the end of February wouldn't leave you missing much.
It was a genuinely exciting last 40 k today and nice to see it went neither to the old way or the new way.

Surprised mvdp didn’t take it up on the descent, was he just marking to set up the disaster?

Really cool, I thought bling had retired… yeeears ago.

I like Pog because he seems well balanced and normal but Philipsen leaves me cold because he is well balanced and not a loon like every other sprinter

Just read someone tried to steal the Bahrain bikes ahead of the race and Sonny Colbrelli followed them into the woods then started a car chase. Nutter.

But ge's more than a sprinter. He's a belgium bling but one that actually wins.

Needs a Bafang

Makes sense anybody with a cargo don't get picture caption.

I am just surprised he didnt get/ask for a Trek Fetch

World electric cargo bike champs I would pay to see.

Parcours should include getting two children to school on time, carrying an oversize piece of furniture to the local reuse and recycling centre, and successfully locking the bike and leaving it for 45 minutes in an urban location.

I was away and basically forgot MSR happened on so easily managed to avoid the results then watched 7mins of the finish on youtube. Pretty good finish. I'd tipped Mohoric for the win. Didn't expect Matthews to still be up there.

Loading up on bling you slower less then beer.

Yeah I didn't follow pro cycling for a good 10 years after stopping 2011 so missed "Bling" in his heyday, and am still confused by his nickname. He's no Gaviria rocking the big gold chain at Movistar

He was before he went pro and came to Europe.

Van Der Poel has signed a ten year deal with Canyon bikes. They must be desparate to keep Specialized away from him.

Or here’s desperate to stay away from them…

Good finish at Catalunya!

A descending masterclass out of nowhere by Almeida gets absolutely no payoff.
