2013 Pro-cycling season thread

much discussion from the eurosport commentators today and at strade bianche about how cancellara is being held back by radioshack...
if he moves, where to?

dunno... not BMC, not OPQS, not Cannondale and he wouldn't work at Sky or Garmin (for obvious reasons), maybe Saxo?

I'd really like to see him win one of the classics again.

Those Castelli Gabba jerseys get around the peloton, OPQS wear them with Castelli logo removed.

IAM wanted him didn't they? Probably not the best move though. Seem to remember a quote from him earlier in the year saying that he couldn't really imagine working for team leaders who weren't the Schlecks

Do a skid!

Do they even count as such any more? Andy is a shell, and Frank is banned.

TTT in the pissing rain not the most exciting but excited about seeing Cavendish go up against Greipel tomorrow. Lotto's train looks properly well drilled.

PN should be good too. Some proper climbing.

Great racing today, well ok not the TTT but it sets it up. The season has definitely begun

Finally a good day today.

Hills and Cav V Greipel round 1.

Oh hang on, isn't Goss at T-A?

Not that that makes a difference to my post

Sky boys cycled to and from the TT yesterday.
Racing < Training.

Sky were disappointing the TTT, but then you look at the riders and realise why

Cyclingnews are saying that Goss has just.... won?

Panic buy everything, these must be the end times.

It's OK, alleged sprinter Tyler Farrar didn't make top 10

Schleck for GC then?

OPQS fucked up
And was too lumpy for griepel.
Apparently.

Showdown was a bust.

As much as I make fun of Goss I think it's hilarious he grabbed the win after all the hype about Cav and Greipel, 5th and 7th ha! Mayhaps they didn't like the rain

Goss is a good stayer.

Gossy!! Bang!!

Cav's grumpy.

I paid for Cycling TV for 3 months and loads of stuff is geo-restricted to US viewers only.

get netshade -I use it for watching RTV and the like for decent Classics/Giro/Tour streams, it's a bit slower and won't support https unless you pay extra but no complaints.

Looking forward to today's racing.

Hoping to see some fireworks at P-N and Sagan to do his thing at T-A.

Cav's grumpy.

He's been a bit of a twat everytime he opens his mouth recently. He's been banging on how much he loves OPQS, how much more relaxed it is, how he's been able to enjoy his cycling again after Sky were so mean to him for a season, paying him a couple of million, then:

I'm quite disappointed today with my leadout. I know they're so much better than that. I had to do a lot work in last kilometre. I was 30 riders back and had to come round. I was coming and coming and still thought I as in with a chance with 500 metres to go. I was moving up but then the peloton moved to the right and I had to slam on my brakes with 200 to go. That was the end of the chance of winning. I feel we could have got more out of today. We've got to have words tonight."

Grass isn't always greener, eh, Cav? Except in Jamaica, grass is always green there. Mmmm, Jamaica...
