Pro-cycling thread

Also didn't pay attention to pro cycling last year. Hugh Carthy. Jeez. Good for him.

Where is Sky?

This one? So much want

Well, it's good design. Genius suggests you're easily wowed.

If he wins the Tour, his results here will be forgotten.

He's doing really well against stellar company.

Yep that one. You can't see so much in that photo but the circular base is cobbles raised pattern in the glass.

Weening. Ouch. 15km grinding away in the big ring by yourself and then de Gendt just humped past him and he was never seen again.

Wee Nairo is brilliant when he's on a mission-loved him flicking his elbow for Contador to come through and when he didn't he just put the hammer down and left him to do it all by himself.

With genius, it takes one to know one. You wouldn't understand.

I jest.
No one cares about Catyluna after it is finished.

And HC to world tour next year for sure.

Well.....You say that.

Hugh Carthy is 6ft 2in and 9st 9lbs according to that notoriously reliable cycling oracle Wikipedia.

Peter weening is aces. Haven't seen grinding like that since der Kaiser.
Coverage was awful though. No time gaps. Missed most if not all of the attacks off the peleton.

The accompanying picture seems to confirm that!

No GvA in E3 (startlist) today, will Sagan finally reel in a win?

Just watching last year's, and just watched GvA go flying over the handlebars.

Great race last year, clearly I didn't watch it, no idea why. Incredible seeing G ride away from Stybar and Sagan. From a personal pov I think it's a shame he's focussing on stage races and become part of the Sky ToF machine.

Simon is doing Paterberg reps

lots of quality (and lots of EQS riders) in the lead group and Fabs almost made the connection, will be an interesting final

Devolder takes a bottle from a soigneur at full gas, impressive

sprint à deux coming up... how quick will Kwiatkowski be against Sagan? my money's on the world champ

...or will they start looking at each other just a tad too early?

caught him by surprise, wow... 2nd again

Good win by Quietcoughski.

"don't look back!"
