2013 Pro-cycling season thread

Talk about mental drain though. Tapping along nicely. Turn left on to a wall with a big fuck off warning sign telling you 30%.

I hate those signs on icon climbs. Telling you the next 1 KM is ave 8.6% etc.. Really saps my will..

Bollocks.

Stage is hard = ride it slower.

You don't go "ooh it's got 27% climbs, I'm gonna get on the juice". It's only Tirreno ffs.

Pros need to htfu. Chased around by support cars, massages and shit. Pissweak bunch of blouses.

Whoops Rant thread. >>>

Repped. I LOLed

Bullshit. I've seen you climb. You're only unhappy it says 8.6% because it's not steep enough.

@ Jimmy, a third of the peloton abandoning means two thirds carried on. If two thirds had abandoned then there might be something to change.

This was a case of a hard stage, after a hard stage, a day too late in a race that is early in the season. Most of the riders probably thought, sod this for a game of soldiers, there's the TT tomorrow and I can fuck that off and get home early..

Hippy. Ha!

And they get paid to do it! I have to sit in an office 10 hours a fucking day to afford to cycle and then fit training around that. Don't have time for massages, no team car following me around so I have to carry 10kgs of shite with me on a 10 hour training ride. I'm riding a non wind tunnel tested £500 chinese crabon thing..

Whoops. Rant thread>>>

If I shed a tear maybe I can apply for a pro contract?

I have to carry 10kgs of shite with me

Have you considered dieting?

That 10kg is just my kebab supplies.

Try putting one of those together on aerobars...

hippy, sounds like you need an enema

Always remember marvelling at my dad for being able to make a rolly, with one hand, while driving.

Bet the pros dont have to roll their own cigs.

It's usually the people being paid way too much who are the whingers in professional sport. If I was DS, I'd be docking the wages of those cunts who packed, with only a minor penalty for those who carried on but walked the climbs. Possibly concessions made for fat fucks and sprinters.

Get a fucking grip. One day in the office where things are a bit 'busier' than normal.

I know that feel bro

Where is this?

planning on smashing dubtap on strava?

That's Col de Canonbie in the South London Alps.

Beautiful isn't it.

planning on smashing dubtap on strava?

Strava.. Pffffft

That's not far from me.. Need to check that out.

This. Several kgs of undigested mechanically reclaimed meat to be washed out and, knowing the meat industry most likely recycled

The soigneurs do it and they have to go back to the team car for a light

The best stages I ever watch are the ones where the riders all have a cry afterwards.

"Vous êtes des assassins! Oui, des assassins!'

                   There is an article by Andy Hampsten, the day the strongmen cried about Passo Gavia 88, when the rode through the snow! Brilliant stuff..

An amateur, with his support car and support team, yesterday:

looks like a bunch of cat 4's climbing the Ditchling!

Looks like me climbing a 2% slope.

An amateur, with his support car and support team, yesterday:

They're not allowed to follow or pass more often than 10mi, nor are they allowed to hand anything from the car. They are also absent during training and I certainly don't get any massages from Scherrit no matter how often I ask.

Come back to me when the pros race for a full day without crying off because the climbs are too steep.

Fucking Eurosport fail. No T - A highlights package this evening and 13 hours.. 13 HOURS.. of snooker....
