Pro-cycling thread

Just watched the women’s race highlights, well done Pfeiffer Georgi!

Yves Lampaert was the best placed Soudal Quickstep rider in 36th position. Should be a fun team dinner with Lefevre tonight.

He signed them and dictated their contracts, he should look in the mirror. If his gamble of all-in on the now broken Evenepoel fails, cycling could lose the last dictator.

And that visma guy undertaking on the cote d zur to get ahead in the bunch sprint deffo a dq there.

willmelling and the woke brigade wont like this but this was possibly the 2nd most boring P-R I have ever watched, first is 2019

user snoops, that youtube channel is great!

Word.

PR is not just about the final 50k. It is always exciting starting at 160km to go, some years even earlierlike in 2022.

The last 50k was the least interesting, a bit like Flanders. The trouble with living in an era of exceptional talents is that you need at least 2 of them in a race. Barring chance it gets a bit dull in the one day races even if it is awe inspiring to see someone like van der Poel at his best.

Visma guy relegated.

27:00 Lance shits on Phil Liggett 😂😂

What's going on with the spatzwear adverts on Eurosport? Audio is massively fuzzy - is this the intention or just terrible execution?

and failed his track accreditation.

Intention I thought, look at us doing it all rough and ready with shit visuals as well.

Piss off. Turbos great and my arse doesn’t have trenchcheek

Did you watch all this? Can't believe how basic the insights are. Shame you can't dope to be good at post race analysis.

boring

try golf

least interesting

Try darts? And don't @mashton snooker?

You can dope to be good at post race analysis, I doped consistently through the entire race (mainly with Leffe). It was a tactical masterclass by Alpecin, with a totally unpredicted approach to the first cobbles and the strongest rider winning.

@amey should maybe just analyse grovel, sorry, gravel, that discipline where proper professionals win when they can be arsed to turn up.

^ Rep.

Building a GC team for Remco has taken all his budget. His classics team is on par with Cofidis now.

The sprint for second at the Tour of Flanders. Michael Matthews got relegated to last position in the group for his sprint.

I watched it but didn't even notice. Was like "meh" by then. Think they'd taken the finish down line by the time they arrived.

For balance.
