Pro-cycling thread

There have been other examples of teams dropping riders on the move who might have taken a load of world tour points with them next season.

How could he not, it's great after training. You just leave it in for two minutes.

Can't tell if serious...

Navardauskas?

Bless you.

Yuk. This came out.

Right move for Cav, no Lidl jersey for him next season.

Does anyone else think "piece of crap" when they see those helmets just because of the acronym?

Pukes on cock is more 'forum'

I would.

so they've come up with sagan's champ jersey....guess what, it's got coloured bands on it....

more worrying, uci rules mean they can only use team colour or white shorts...can someone get on twitter and ask oleg to change the team shorts to black for next season sharpish

question is, will we see it in Il Lombardia?

no black shorts for the world champs jersey... the uci is a farce

Thankfully the UCI have bigger issues to resolve than the colour of a rider's shorts.

FFS.

I think some irony was missed!

I love that Sagan is wearing this. It feels well deserved.

Not 100% if this comment belongs here or elsewhere, but just placed an order for 'The Racer' book by Dave Millar, really looking forward to getting it. Very much enjoyed his first one, and the topics covered in this sound great.

I <3 beautiful Tom

ffs..

Millar was at an event at the Grauniad on Wednesday to promote it, but you had to be a subscriber to be able to buy the tickets. A while ago I went to a launch event for this film he's been making and I got him to sign his first book for me there. I will always regret not telling him that I bought it about 2 seconds after he won his 2012 TDF stage, but I was just a bit star-struck.

Poor chap has broken his arm in a skateboarding accident with his son: https://twitter.com/millarmind

at least someone got it, cheers @miro_o :)

Anyway, predictions for Lombardia?
Nibali is looking very strong atm, but I think Moreno or Gallopin could get it, very strong field there though with so many scenario's

Nibali's to lose, no? Everyone knows how good his form is at the moment, his team is strong and motivated and the course suits him.
