MVDP over cobbles, like Roger Federer groundstokes on lawn.

Everyone was racing for 2nd anyway. May as well go for DFL. Cyrus claims it.

Yeah, finishing solo in a breakaway is very different to sprinting after 260km; Dylan Van Baarle was pretty chill too, but VDP looks like he's going to ride home too

He rode to the nearest golf course.

Where he had parked his Lamborghini 4x4? Smart lad

Pidcock's hands took a beating yesterday

What's his dachshunds saying about that?

And yet plenty of riders, including MVDP, did the course without mitts.

As did Pidcock.

So I guess the question is why…

Because I imagine it’s as bad with gloves?

Mitts add an extra layer so more opportunity for them to rub from vibration.

Having rode the PR sportive a couple of times I'm not sure I'd fancy trying it without mitts myself.

Some to win races others to get some racing in.

Mitts add friction and would be worse. Same with a proper rough dry cross course, obviously it’s worse if you go down but weirdly hands fare better without.

MVDP just ridiculing people here also.

Every day’s a school day

Mitts add friction

Show working please.

Michael McIntyre?

I rode the Cyclo back in 2010 with mitts and my hands were sore but they didn't look like a fucking pepperoni pizza.

I was on 24mm Paves at 120psi too, none of this 30mm tubeless shit. :D

Joe Blackmore's stellar start to the season continues, he's won the u23 Liege-Bastogne-Liege today.

I would agree.
