Pro-cycling thread

You know Yates is English? Chaves is Colombian; Kreuziger is Czech; Nieve is Basque.
I could go on. Only Haig is Aussie I think.

Are you new here? NEVER start a Hippy argument. Never.

They are a UK team.

That’s a nice photo of the last one of Ferrari’s clients to win the tour

It's the only photo of a clean Tour winner.

Is it like Where's Wally and you have to spot him in the background?

I don’t understand cycling fans who support a team. It’s not football.

Why do people still rise to hippy's faux-jingoism? They deserve everything they get.

He’ll post that pic of Mike Atherton again soon. Think it has made up about 20% of his posts in the last eight weeks.

I don't understand people that don't understand other people are different.

You lot loved jumping on the 'ooh cheating Aussie' train but don't take too kindly when you're reminded you've done the same thing.

It's pretty obvious but with no last post wins thread I'm happy for them. Probably created the greatest repo of Cadel photos in the world...

I wonder if he has ever googled himself. He'd be in for a shock.

Nice to see a convicted doper in pink. It’s a nice Giro tradition.

Haha, that'd be a pisser.

Bloody English and their asthma... who keeps letting them race?

Rob Hatch used the word "unbelievable" three or four times in the last kilometer. I struggled to get excited.

Or when they said Chaves' favourite doctor visited him the previous day. Wasn't sure if they were alluding to anything more nefarious.

12hr surgery to repair his knee after a bunch of other doctors said he'd never race again.

Chaves referred to him as being like 'a second father'.

What was the shoe about?

Diana Casas was a team physio who passed away last year. Chavo has her commemorated on his shoes.

"Diana Casas" was his physio who died last year.

Not sure, but he definitely should have poured champagne into his shoe and chug it down.

A 'shoey'. Wouldn't want cycling fans getting upset about F1 crossover though now.
