2014 Pro-cycling season thread

Fucking hell, hippy the moderator actually moderating. Someone take a picture for posterity

You don't see notice most of what I do.

It's purely self-serving anyway - I just don't want pro cycling thread filled with fantasy bullshit

This should all be in the Tour de France thread anyway.

No, that's for picnics. This is the seriouz biznizz pro cycling thread.

got me confused as well

maybe just edit the title after the 1st three stages to official TdF 2014 thread?

that would be like renaming the football thread as *The World Cup *... People would go MENTAL.

I think peter was referring to the TdF thread, not this.

correct

Fark, I thought he had a chance of Green, was going to stick him in my fantasy team

Stiches in hand. Erm...

On a lighter note...

Poor Matthews. Defo out by the look of it.

I can't be fucked with fantasy cycling. Instead me and a load of mates have picked a winner for every stage. One with the most wins the pot.

Reckon a few will be hastily deleting Matthews from the odd stage.

[B]Lampre-Merida (Italy)[/B]

Most likely to be talked about when their wayward sprinter Roberto Ferrari tangles with Mark Cavendish and one of them sees more red than they bargained for. Otherwise they’ll be keeping their passports handy for the short trip home to mama when they’ve had enough of foreign food. They’ll strive to achieve but it’s not Italy so don’t be surprised that nothing much comes of it.
Team leader – Rui Costa
The world champion’s rainbow jersey has weighed heavily on the Portuguese’s shoulders – **no wins and no performances of note this year **which means the Tour is make or break for him.

I guess Robert Millar missed the Tour de Suisse then. From the Guardian.

Noticed that. Presume it was written a while back.

Nibali's Italian Champion Jersey. Even more reason to hate Astana.

That's almost as bad as Cannondale's effort with Sagan which is basically indistinguishable from their normal kit.

Poor fella. There was me naively thinking that teams had to use the full colours...

Tinkoff has gone flouro for TDF

They look like a poor man's Neri Sottoli.

Oleg Tinkov is basically a Russian Richard Branson isn't he?

Odious cunt.
