Ha ha. Where/how did you find that?

There’s a lot to take in isn’t there? Cipo’s grip on the bike is really quite aggressive.

Look at those shoes as well. Did Cipo have w sponsorship deal with Ciro Citterio?

i'm not one to blow my own horn but that's the best image posted on this forum in 12 months

Dennis, Kwiato (mates) and Ganna for monuments. I’d love Doull or Swifty (mates) to do something.

They have done good stuff in the classics season in the past, inc G.

I’m seriously excited.

I think I bought my first suit from there.

If you’re over 40 and grew up in a provincial town, you’ve owned some terrible shit from CC.

‘They’re nice black leather shoes - let’s pop a big metal buckle on them’.

This is interesting. Matteo Trentin has said that the UCI rule changes were sent out to over 800 riders by email in November and December, and only 16 actually opened the document that detailed the changes.

‘No one can say they weren’t informed so maybe spend less time on TikTok and be proactive when it comes to making cycling safer’

I’d love to see Ganna ride away from everyone at Flanders.

Moscon is capable of a big classics result too.

Somethings wrong with their email delivery with such low opening rates. I bet porn spam is more successful.

how does matteo trentin know how many people opened the document?

It’s not the job of riders. They’ve identified the problem (by crashing into the barriers).

In the most recent episode of The Cycling Podcast, Daniel Friebe tipped Ganna to ride away from everyone and win Milan-SanRemo.

Well chances are they used some sort of trackable link to the document which had it.

Or can just see how many times the document was accessed on the server

i should have read the article, i guess

as a riders' rep on the UCI safety committee, he can see how many times the doc has been DL'd

I wonder how many of the pros complaining about the bans were in the 16? I'm pretty sure I've seen more than 16 post about it anyway

Just watching the Tour de Provence coverage from yesterday. Matt Stephens (I think) has decided that rather than refer to the rainbow jersey, he's going to call it the "arc en ciel" jersey. Don't think he was calling it "regnbue" last year or "dúha" when Sagan was champ

As French was for many years the lingua franca for the professional cycling world, the use of the term 'arc en ciel' has a long tradition.

still tho...

arc en ciel

cmon

I fancy Matt Stevens

As there is a compelling need for speed in the professional cycling world, the use of magic, fast-pedalling medicine has a long tradition.

I'm aware of that. I've never heard him say it before and it just comes across as a bit pretentious.

Ronaldo's eyebrow is the pièce de résistance.

so mettez that dans your gitane and smokez-le
