2013 Pro-cycling season thread

We win Belgian (just like Wiggo) beer bets to Brits too so it's swings and roundabouts as those tally ho types like to say.

You could have said 'just like Bradley'.

Froome was in a lead group which dropped Porte, so doesn't sound like he's riding very hard for him

Steephill.tv have always reckoned that Froome is leading the team, not sure where this idea about Porte came from?

Blame Skinny, he said it first

Think I read it on inrng. I'll check later.

I wasn't in the mood for alliteration.

showing Sagan is in his flat track bully mode again ;-)

today, again, Bobbie Traksel is in the break for the 3rd time in a row. If you never heard of him, check out the footage from the 2010 edition of Kuurne-Brussel-Kuurne for the definition of HTFU

Absolutely ripping it.

Sick rider.

Just boosts past the remnants of the break like they are not even there! What was the stage profile like?

Really thinking about Oman for holiday this year..

I lived in Oman for five years as a kid (89-94). Would love to go back and see how it has changed.

Mr's Braves folks went last year and said it was wonderful..

Mr's Braves folks

Your apostrophe placement has me rather confused.

Sagan made that look a little too easy.

Does the backlash start here?

It's only backlash when he beats Goss or Renshaw.. otherwise it's well done to the youngster :)

I foresee a lot of backlashing

Beating the goss is currently a bit of an uphill battle for most winning riders.

looks shopped to me

those were the days..

Back to cycling.. Sagan smashes it again today.. Wiggo gets dropped on the run in to the finish on ToO

Really thinking about Oman for holiday this year..

It's pretty amazing
Does Wiggo just not give a fuck or what?

Or what I think. It's a training race, why the fuck should he take it seriously? He has bigger fish to fry.
