Pro-cycling thread

I did not realise Cancellara was a rider agent.

It's quite an easy thing to insinuate in the cycling world, got to be taken with a handful of salt when 'leaked' from a potentially disgrunted ex-team.

Not massively surprising to me, let's see what transpires.

It would highlight even more @Sumo 's impressive instinct in betting on the right guy. :)

I agree completely.

He'll be right at home when it comes to riders raising eyebrows and having insinuations made about them. Cancellara and Gianetti should form some sort of mutual-support bubble.

It’s the most serious allegation you can make in the sport. It’s not OK to chuck that insinuation around, however well seasoned.

Could of called him a fiddler so not all bad .

Pidcock telling his new team to pull their bloody socks up in the classics.

"A lot of the new riders' styles are quite aggressive and real racers, so I think there's a good group. I mean there's still the Grand Tour riders in the team, but there's a good group of racers as well. With me and Ethan [Hayter] at Ineos, there's a good few guys that can race. I think the Classics team at Ineos needs... there could be more success with the riders that Ineos have. Yeah, that's what I'm going to say."

In other news Eurosport have lost the rights to show omloop

‘ TV rights issues with organiser Flanders Classics have been suggested as the reason for Omloop dropping off the schedules, and that could mean that coverage of Gent-Wevelgem, Dwars Door Vlaanderen, Scheldeprijs, De Brabantse Pijl and the Tour of Flanders may also be in jeopardy.

Eurosport has confirmed to Cyclist that Omloop will not be shown but did not elaborate as to why.’

So if i pay 20 quid to the new kids on the block in red its a one of payment and nothing extra for a years footage and no tennis ? Is that the spam what im offered.

Yes - no tennis and no Omloop.

Does that mean we’re all watching Omloop on Steephill?

Thought it was tiz !

Oh yeah - I think that’s what I mean. I’ve only used it for a few CX races.

I'm not sure if they've ever had the rights. I'm used to watching it on Sporza via a moody stream.

They had it one year but it might be regional as I watched it on TV in Luxembourg rather than streaming.

You might be right, just realised I'm usually actually there watching it at the side of the road

Dont you know he ran 5k in 13min.

he on the PEDs ?

Could be ketones, DSM doesn't allow their riders to take them Benoot said last year

Yeah, ketones, uh huh. "I was only injecting vitamins guv, honest."

Thankfully doesn't include the Ronde this year

So is there another, legit, source online to watch these races?

It's all gone wrong for Ineos.
