2013 Pro-cycling season thread

Cummings + Evans could be in mix perhaps.

LL Sanchez broke away whilst Peter ate a tuna sandwich in last year's tour* perhaps this is Cancellara's only hope.

• This is how I remember it... therefore internet fact.
  

I think one of the Schleck boys might do it....

It can only be Andy, given Frank's currently serving a doping suspension.

If Andy does win it I'll give you £50.

I'll give £50 to anyone who *doesn't *think Andy missed the point there.

Strada > plural: Strade
Bianchi > plural: Bianche

Actually, 'bianche' is the plural of 'bianca'. Feminine, innit. Strada/strade is feminine.

'Bianchi' is the plural of 'bianco'. Masculine, innit.

Just sayin'...

Pedantry over.

Cav finished 8th (12") in the Drishdudfbesfosdbofslaaag van West-Vlaanderen prologue btw.

Yes, go and get yourself a piatto bianco.

A slightly larger one for buffet purposes, a la Partridge?

...not quite. As a the title of a race the words assume the declention of a proper noun and follow the loquation without gender bias or accord.
In strict classic syntax it ought to be Stradu Biancho.

have some rep, even if that's not true

'declension'

unclenches

Yes, go and get yourself a patto banton.

Flecha showing how it's done on Monte Sante Marie #stradebianche

on the edge though!

Fabs starting the leadout for Sagan early

Going to be a nightmare for teams to cover Moser and Sagan

Fucks sake. stream turned to football chat with 2km to go

Boom!

Moser-eh!

Fuck yeah cycling!

strong team, good tactics, even if Moser would have cracked in the last climb Sagan would have hit it home.

Enjoyed the scenery immensely again though. God do I hope the L'Eroica lottery is kind to me this year... fingers crossed

Enjoyed that. I thought Moser had lost it when he was pissing about trying to get the break guys to work but they had enough time and he still had enough juice to hang on. Strong show.

Shitty edited highlights from eurosport.
Missed half the action.

Shame for sags, but good on Moser.
Brilliant team tactics,

^ haven't seen it but I don't think eurosport is to blame, coverage and race info was pretty crappy. This race deserves better
