2011 Pro-cycling season thread

The photographer needs to get out the fucking way, that spot is there to get pics of the finish, then you get out of the way, sharpish.

My dad went into hospital last week and missed the ghent wevelgem on TV

does anyone know where I can get footage of the highlights which I could burn to DVD for him ?

Not sure you can download content from YouTube but this guy has about 40 mins worth of highlights;

Arrogant much?

I didn't think it was possible for his head to get any bigger. I was wrong.

was it not flecha who was looking round for him to help?

I've put money on the only Welsh in the peloton to podium on Sunday.

Arrogant much?

His twitter says :
"f_cancellara: Interview's are not coming out like always i be thinking to say things.Specially now whats around sounds not me.lot get lost in translation"

I've put money on the only Welsh in the peloton to podium on Sunday.

He was awesome in Flanders, just hope Sky either get their strategy sorted or don't make him work for Flecha. Couldn't quite work out what was going on with those two last Sunday

Flecha is a consistent podium finisher in Roubaix, Sky would be daft to do anything other than give him their full support. Thomas could have a free role but anything more than that is a major gamble.

hey guys, for those who don't have Eurosport at home, does anyone know where there is a pub/cafe near central London which is likely to show the Paris Roubaix race on Sunday?

Or you can watch it for free via CyclingFans

or pay a small fee for the Eurosport web player.

Seems a bit late in the day really when I nicked the PC off a blind crippled boy.

I tried to use the Eurosport player for TDF last year and got a Paypal chargeback back in my bank account before I got a response to my very first 'contact customer help' email weeks later

When I watch the Scheldeprijs finish I see Tyler Farrar taking out Weylandt but he's the victim???

Are you confusing the Garmin and Leopard kits? Weylandt had a bump with Farrar, loses control and goes down, taking out Farrar's back wheel. The initial coming together was par for the course for a sprint so, yes, Farrar is the victim in this instance.

yeah its the Farrar 'bump' that looks like him going sideways to stay on Cavendish's wheel.
