probably both. He's great!

Wiggins a super-dom for Contador??

Did you have even more to drink than Oleg?

Not yet, he's on 'Burgundy and Crystal', but I do plan to catch up. It's a troll, but the idea of Wiggins pacing Contador up a mountain against Froome is something that would be worth seeing. In actuality the last team I'd want Brad to sign for would be them.

Actually, I'd quite like that!

Did anyone catch the end of the Classica San Sebastian? Valverde, Mollema, Nieve, Rodriguez and Adam Yates were away on the final descent. Cue me getting excited about seeing how Yates would do against a group of this quality, only for the camera to pick out a crashed rider with broken forks on one of the bends. As he zoomed in it was clear it was Yates.

To add insult to injury, Valverde got a gap as part of this incident and won the race solo.

yes I saw it, too bad Yates crashed out. did he hit the curb after misjudging a corner? That one looked like it kept on tightening, pretty tricky.

...disappointed that Mollema was too late in catching up with them in the descent. even though Valverde is quick to the line as well, I though he would have stood a good chance in the sprint.

There isn't an internet friendly abbreviation for the disappointed noise I just made.

Fucking Valverde.

eh. Nice podium vibe-looks like a lot of fun*

Am I allowed to say that without getting negged into oblivion or trampled under someone's steed of superiority?

Negged for an asterix without a corresponding asterix in the footnote.

Was watching San Seb, I also made a very disappointed noise when it was clear who the winner was.

The Yates brothers though eh. I'd be interested in seeing them (both) have a good crack in the Ardennes next year.

ahem...

Ouch

Is he ok? I watched the coverage but they didn't say if he was badly hurt

And was hoping Nieve might win, shame

Would never have happened on steel forks.

Why hasnt Ed moved up to pro team mechnic? all of this could have been avioded....

Also Valverde as super dom?

Que shouty radio messages of riding the wrong side of his captain.

Something like this maybe?

Please not Peto, please not Peto, please not Peto, please not Peto, please not Peto...

bit of a let down if this is it, contrast with Oleg's Twitter hysteria couldn't be much bigger.

Teared up a little watching Emma Pooley crossing the line for silver, cycling will miss her

She'll still be doing bonkers endurance events. Like a boss.
