Pro-cycling thread

He really does seem to have a downer on them judging by this thread:

Note: this is just after Wale and Tipper have set a time that would have put them 5th at the 2016 Olympics!

I always thought the "suspicious" riding in these Cancellera videos looks to me more like the way he always rode/won races. He was a always a diesel TT rider with massive power and stayed in the saddle etc.

Jealousy never looks good.

Phil didn't shut up about Dan Martin. He really is class. Good guy apparently.

Fab wants Phil’s book out of the stores. And a personal apology. Lawyers getting to work. (Via flemish newspaper Het Nieuwsblad - sponsor of De Omloop)

Sabre rattling. Nothing will come of it.

Indeed, nothing but a waste of everybody’s time, and more/prolonged bullshit to endure in the sport

Yes Fabian, Penguin are renowned for employing no lawyers and just publishing any old shit

Getting a result isn't necessarily the point.

If he does nothing, it leaves the accusation unchallenged, meaning it can be repeated by others.

In the UK at least, anybody involved with the book (including printers and distributors etc) can be sued for defamation along with the publisher or author so getting it removed from sale isn't as unlikely as it sounds. WH Smith wouldn't stock Private Eye for many years.

Also - Cancellara would have to sue in every country the material has been published. A defamation award in the UK carries zero weight in France for example.

Silly fabs, bad advice. He should just ignore it and dismis it. Creating a furore just gives it weight

Maybe Gaimsy and Fabo did a deal. Anything that's threatened to be removed from the shelves sells like hotcakes as everyone tries to get a copy before it's banned.

Valverde looking to contest the sprints next year?

If you can’t say anything but positive things about what the lads behind KGF have achieved, then maybe life isn’t for you.

Good article here:

Stay classy, Danny. Sky PR must be delighted.

We’re such a progressive country. Some idiots even invaded a primary school a couple days back to protest against the school’s ban against “Zwarte Piet”. During school hours, handing out stickers to the kids and everything. Posting shit like this is way too close to supporting those racist and backwards conservatives.

Good job Moscon wasn't riding with him.

He's off to LottoNL-Jumbo next season, Sky won't give a fuck.

Maybe the jersey was a big FU

Rafa. Stop.

Wow that’s actually creepy

OMG I'm not the only guy who looks like a serial killer that showers with an S-Works?!

What are the odds?!

The Bora instagram is a goldmine of fucking weird shit.

Not a fan of the new Sky kit:

I like it better now that it's not a CS Grupetto rip off.

Another bike related photoshoot in a shower. I see a trend.
