2014 Pro-cycling season thread

Also - where is Valverde? Barely raced recently and not down for TDS either.

Cross-post from the Giro thread:

Valverde mk1 is also bloody fast this season. mk2 is chilling in some Mediterranean xenon cave mainlining synthesised snail juice right now.

Froome crashed?

Collarbone?

Yep. Scratched up pretty good. He won't enjoy his shower this evening.

Nice to see a lot of respect for the yellow.

[HD] Chris Froome with a horrific crash at Criterium du Dauphine 2014 - Stage 6 - YouTube

Doesn't look very "horrific"?

Man falls off bicycle. Gets new bicycle. Continues ride. I agree, the horror is hard to find there.

Don't forget he is just training for the Tour.

You don't actually see the crash there, but going over the line his jersey was pretty torn up and a big hole in his shorts, plus gashed elbow. it must have looked horrific at the time I reckons... Probably just got caught napping when he was whispering sweet nothings to his stem.

"OMG. You won't believe what happens in the this video when Chris Froome needs a new bicycle!!"

"Preparing".

Ouch! Not ideal for the queen stage, elbow looks nasty.

Tennis needs the introduction of a maximum time cut-off. It's only fair.

Yeah. I'm looking at fucking MotoGP atm. This is the fucking balls out day for the Dauphine, priorites Eurosport, priorities...

Fuck off Tennis! Cycling time now, do one!

Contador gone!

Fuck, that's a huge gap... Porte looking sluggish

Oh Nibbles....

Skelator doesn't look like he's got the beans today... 18 secs and climbing for Contador.

Westra FTW!

FFUUUUUUUUUUUUUU//////

Contador's gone and fucking nicked it!!!

Bertie smashes it

Bertie just surfed the sky train and popped out once the weakest team member (snigger) hit the front....
