It's hard enough to apply the sprint lane rule on the track, it would be stupid to even think about lanes on the road.

I think they would be a great addition to guide riders and aid commissaires in the moment.

Just clarifying that I am being facetious

So Cavendish is quick…
300m headwind world tour sprint.

Replay shows a very pleasing side by side sprint with Philipsen where their legs and cadence are in sync.

Great interview with Victor Campenaerts

We will tear the races to pieces. We’re not gonna wait for Van Aert or Van der Poel to attack, because if we do that, we’re waiting to get beaten, so we will fucking tear the races to pieces and make them defend. We never want to defend.

Great stuff

is that user amey talking about gravel worlds

dunno; colbrelli defended quite well

And Asgreen. Rare though; pretty sure that if one (or more) of the big three starts attacking and dictating the likelihood of anyone else winning is slim

Asgreen worked with MVP, though, just stuck him in the sprint, which MVP/the world wasn’t expecting.

The idea of Lotto one-twoing, or one-two-threeing MVP/WVA is exciting. It’d be nice to have another squad actively attacking the classics as a team. Will believe it when I see it.

Does Lotto have Wolfpack-esque nickname yet?

Killer bees (on a swarm)?

Not sure if that’s triggering enough.

I was thinking of Jumbo visma anyway, doesn't make any sense for lotto ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Lotto-Soudalmatians.

Does Lotto have Wolfpack-esque nickname yet?

Rats

Because Soudal makes rat-proof foam filler, dont ask me how I know this.

I had wondered about the Seal(ant)s.

?

L'otters Soudal

Classic.

More L'ottery fun...

You seen that kid that likes turtles?

Is that Elon Musk?
