2013 Pro-cycling season thread

The Paterberg is a cobbled 500m climb that averages 12.5%

The pros all seem to rate those seal skinz wool waterproof gloves. Might have to try some.

Eurosport don't seem to have coverage untill 4 till half 6, highlights?

Except I can't see Canc actually ever beating Sagan, unless he manages to gap him, which is unlikely

You think? We'll see.

E3 is traditionally where the big hitters test their form for Flanders, so expect fireworks from Cancellara, Flecha, Sagan and maybe even Boonen today.

It is normally a far superior race to Gent-Wevelgem.

Sagan just seems to have the indian sign over Cancellara. Canc looked glum after M-SR, which is understandable, but I also think he just seems to be running out of ideas on how to beat him. It doesn't help that his team seem a bit bereft as well.

Looks lumpy

I think they're worn at sign-on and on the start line then ditched. Not sure about that though.

OH. I tried those seal skinz but they were crap once wet, no grip on finger tips.

Glove thread.

What's the deal with coverage for this? Online feed, as eurosport is a bust.

Announced feed from 14.20 cet http://88.80.5.80/w00t/20130321/vv514b234a5a2c6223371467-546731.html

I had some sealskinz 'waterproof' gloves (not wool). They were rubbish.

Yup. Returned then to evans, on the basis they didn't function as intended.

Thanks.

D'you reckon they'll be showing the eurosport highlights / live stuff in LMNH? May go and watch if I can get out of work on time. Got nowt else to do.

Or I may just get onto the feeds.... does anyone have any idea what time they're actually scheduled to finish? I think the eurosport thing is delayed coverage

I've got some Sealskinz winter gloves. They're OK, not that warm, but the waterproofing seems good

If, like me, you can't watch a stream, or need some details in addition to a stream, this is a good ticker:

And we are LIVE http://88.80.5.80/w00t/20130321/vv514b234a5a2c6223371467-546731.html

even Spaniards racing in shorts, spring must really have started

I imagine they've slapped on a lot of vaseline

Sky on the front

Again..

Absolutely fucking strung out

Break selection made with 60km to go??

Cancellara in a strong group with Boonan, EBH and a few others. Sagan chasing back onto the bunch after a bike change.

Sagan cheapskating

Cannondale to the front as break group just too strong (Boonen, Cancerlara, Haymen, Eddie Bos + others) only for Sagan to drop out for a bike change and outrageous sticky bottle and seat post fiddling..

Lars Boom wtf? reminds me of me, no power left after closig a gap and falling back again

good i love the Flandrian classics
