2013 Pro-cycling season thread

But frankly, who fucking cares about this shit? The race is two months away, we'll quickly see who should be the leader then. In the meantime this is just getting boring.

x100.

Cycling needs more made up daft storylines and fake intrigue, like WWF and hip hop.

should we be taking it at face value anyway? would make sense tactically for other teams not to know who the leader is

I've decided that the only way Wiggins can't be the leader of Sky at Le Tour, is if they don't take him to Le Tour.

If they do, he'll have #1 pinned on his back. And that's that.

(So if they do want Froome as leader, I think they'll have to concoct some scenario where Wiggins misses the race for whatever made up reason)

I would like to see more 'beefs' in cycling certainly.. and maybe some freestyle videos where they 'hate' on their rivals leg shaving techniques. Or something.

Let the battle commence!

Davey B. is anal about stuff. As he has shown in interviews.

If this stuff is going on, on this concurring timescale. He knows and advocates it. Or he'd of shut it down ages back.

That would require Fran Millar to be a PR and communication genius.

OOh you bitch!

Apparently there's a frisson in the Team Europcar camp at the moment. Rolland made some disparaging remarks about Voeckler's floppy tongue displays, and Voeckler said he likes to relive eating out Rolland's mother, Chantale, as a way of easing the suffering on the bike.

I can't wait to discuss the issues surrounding Europcar team leadership during the next two months...

Wow. I`m excited byt this years racing. Giro coming up. Nibbles vs wiggo vs ryder. Should be good.
we'll see what dan martin's wife has to tweet about that!

Basso has a 'cyst' and not riding Giro.

^ according to "inrrng"... LOL

Nope. Cannondale press release too.

Shame, we won't be able to enjoy his mediocre cycling in the Giro now

I did not realise Rolland is from South End on sea? I'm surprised Rapha have not made a baselayer to celebrate this fact.

"I was only trying to help you, Rol-land."

Ha!

Don't know where all this basso is now suddenly crap stuff comes from?

Last year he was 5th in the grio, after issues. He showed worse last year in pre-giro stages races than he has this year.

Issues being he's not on the juice these days.
