2014 Pro-cycling season thread

Might win the stage.

I had in my fantasy cycling thing especially for today, also had Cav. Sigh.

Said he felt pretty okay yesterday, but was a bit more sore today. Spirits seemed good overall.

tough as old boots. I didn't get my changes done in time so hopefully he's game for the fight today :)

I heard something on ITV about he felt better at the start than he did when he woke up.

No idea if that was from actual information or just Phil and Paul.

Cav the only DNS for today.

Whose jimmy fingers going to support in the sprint stages now?

good work Nibbles. I thought Sagan was nailed on for that..

Sagan looked like he couldn't be fucked towing everyone to the line and sat up. I thought Froome would put his foot down a la Dauphine but hey ho... maybe he didn't have his inhaler today...

(trololol)

Peter Kennaugh takes the opening stage of the Tour of Austria, solo.

One wonders if his victory salute was something like this to Brailsford;

I will turn my back on them with a sigh. I think Cav was Kittel's only realistic challenger, he'll bag five or six now

Man, this is really good. You should definitely listen all the way to the end. Definitely.

Sadly not.

Nice looking kit though.

Fair play to him. That was a mountainous stage he won.

A good post in the GC would quash the 'lack of consistency' argument, which cost him a TDF ride.

Random from Brailsford: he now wants to win the Tour with a French rider.

Fuck off Dave

"Hey look, there's a lot of French talent coming up right now... I know!!!"

Is it possible to reach such heady heights and not fall at some point?

L'Èquipe will be happy with that ^^^

Job done.

He has to soften them so no totes awky questions after Froome smashes the cobbled stage on Wednesday by over a minute in a solo breakaway.

ha!

probably preparing the british public for a Team Sky that has no british riders in it..

"I say 'French'...Monaco counts, right?"

Fuck off Dave

Wassup? YU No Like aggregation of marginal gains for other countries? U rassis?
