2013 Pro-cycling season thread

And OPQS.. And BMC..

4 man Cannondale??

and BMC and Omega Pharma -QS

4 man Cannondale??

they'll be in on tandems though

There's, what, 14 in Argos-Shimano.. Can't they lend a few out?

I don't think its complete, considering all the question marks everywhere

4 man Cannondale??

either still trying to clone another 5 peter sagans or making some kind of proviso for a true Medici-style power struggle inside the team where one half of the squad loyal to Basso tries to poison the usurper Sagan and his acolytes...

I am a bit late to this, but enjoyed Wiggins trolling Froome. As noted, he could be in yellow after the ITT, and then all bets are off.

Is there to be a dedicated Giro thread, or will talk stay in here?

Depends if someone has the audacity to make a thread, last year we had a TDF thread and a pro cycling thread I think

Make a thread for the Giro I reckon. Put some decent links and info in the opening post though.

e.g. this:

and this:

Done sans links

Steephill is a good shout I'll edit the op a little

On the subject (albeit the previous page) of the Eurosport Player:
Can you log in to the player on 2 different computers/devices at once?

I had it for a while last year on the iPad. It was locked to that device.. You could transfer your subscription to another device (never tried it) but could not run two at the same time.

It will log you out of the older one after 30 min or so, from my experience 2 (?) years ago

What about if you were to copy the stream's URL and play it from VLC for example?

Oh wait, it uses Silverlight now doesn't it?

Only if you speak forrun. I don't so Eurosport provides the best coverage of any I've seen around the globe. Also, is Sporza even available in the UK?

Don't think so. Bloody forruns.

Bloody forums.

How I read it at first..

Then we'll see Froome attacking Wiggins for real in the mountains. Wiggins looks strong but Froome looks better on the climbs so far

No. If you are logged in on one puter and try to log in on another it you spits you off the first. Stops people getting a subs and then just farming it out to mates, forums etc.

also, some daft twunt could fall off his bike on stage 3 and pop a wrist or collarbone... been known to happen. Then there's the carpet tacks and so and so forth-Ms (Mrs?!) Froome seems to have a grudge against the wafty sideburned-one and they never caught the person who sabotaged the route last year. Did Froome get a puncture!? Did he?! Inside job I tells thee, inside job...

Or they're both playing the media to take the attention of them and onto a trivial matter. Putting / of the strongest men up for the tour sounds like a great idea, plan B.
