Pro-cycling thread

I tried googling this, couldn't find anything. Surely some deep-ish water in that hole?

Might be mexico and the only place where you can swim in the city.

Brilliant news!

Is this in London? If so, and he has TT bars on his bike, I've seen him a few times, always at commuter hours. Strange behaviour

even after watching this repeat 20-odd times, i'm terrified that the next time she's going to overcook it and smash her head on the pointy out bit in front of her....

Yeah but was on a road bike. Maybe he has both!

Can't decide between Deggers or Kristoff for the Worlds.

I think it'll play out like Flanders. Proper war of attrition.

Think I saw him on a road bike with clip ons. For tt-ing up the mall to work no doubt

I've bet on both.

I even have Viviani and Bouhanni. So often these races are deemed beyond the sprinters, yet they make it to the final km with half a tank of nitros left.

Viviani is pretty bullish about his chances, and he'll have a strong Italian team behind him. He's my pick.

Is Italy riding for him?

I think Ulissi will be the protected rider, with Nibali given a free role (he's been flying recently).

Well, of course, you couldn't expect him to swim to the US.

He's the Shark of Messina, he'd better have bloody swam there.

swam

'swum' :)

Stop trying to wheedle your way out of the trap I set.

Trap? It's perfectly safe here. :)

Danny van Poppel signs for Sky. Not sure what they are going to do with him though, he'll slot into the Classics squad to start with I suppose.

There's something pro-looking going on in Manchester at the mo...

Russia.

I hope they sort out the broadcasting over night. Coverage is appalling.

One lap to go in the U23 race, still a big group in contention.

Not that you know anything with the pathetic coverage. Shocking.

'mericans.

Spend all that money to host the race, don't spend any to make the televisual experience acceptable.

There's got to be well over a hundred riders still in contention, out of 169 starters.
