by the looks of it if the car hadn't been there he would have ended in the trees. Lots of riders struggling to get around that corner

Yeah but disc brakes...

Yeah, but disc brakes...

Any cycling twitter feeds out there that don't post race spoilers?! I want the juicy news without the big race news.

@ukcyclingexpert is a good one.

A little troll from Nibali there on Froome, mentioning him being excluded from the Giro in 2010 for hanging onto a car with no discernible reason to bring it up

I looked that incident up - Froome was in 104th position and almost dropping out with knee pain, not exactly the most competitive cheating....

And was planning to withdraw, no? Still. Get in the broom wagon, Broomedog.

Slippery slope, this cheating business - hanging onto a car one day, pumped to the gizzards with drugs the next.

That dickhead moto rider that stops on the line into the corner! ffs

More Secret Pro shenanigans, makes a dig at Sky for being soulless, and says they should release data, but surely then everyone should, not just one team. Also said the Giro was faster than the Tour. Apart from that apparently Garmindale and FDJ are shitty teams to ride for.

So crits are like wrestling then? I'd love for Oleg to run onto the track and take out Valverde "WITH A STEEL CHAIR, JR!"

dang beat me to that link

• has me looking at the garmindale startlist. who do you think wasn't invited out of bauer, haas, or langeveld?
  

This is a bit of a blast from the past.

The omnium continues on Sunday evening and concludes with the points race, which is afforded heavier weighting in the revamped format. Cavendish is also lining up alongside Bradley Wiggins in the madison
