Very Campagnolo retro track top. First entry for the functional anti thread?

That'll be a 58. Jersey is a custom wool version from Rapha.

(watching Paris Nice prologue) Rohan Dennis currently no.1, Tony Martin couldn't beat his time. Wiggins to start in about 15 minutes

Degenkolb's style is even uglier on a TT bike. very good time though (3rd now)

Bloody hell, Kwiatkowski.

Wiggins just set off on the Luxembourg Steephill stream

There'll be an awkward silence round the dinner table at Hippy's tonight if things stay as they are.

Wiggins just set off on the Luxembourg Steephill stream>

Oout of interest, how (from where) are you getting that? Tried Hola-ing for UK/US/Aus/Fr/Lux though all stated it's not viewable in my region?

whoa motorcycle pilot please

^^From Steephill for me.

Dumoulin and Wiggins not up to their usual form, too bad

Went to the Steephill website and tried the links until one worked,
W7 latest Firefox if any use

The live race show stopped 30k from the end...

Mine didn't (via Virgin).

It was fucking Nordic skiing! Does anyone anywhere actually watch that!?!?

I had the nordic skiing for a bit. Looks hardcore.
I closed the link and reopened and was back in cycling land.

Thought Geraint Thomas might go a bit better today

Saving himself for the support of Porte?

What was Porte saving himself for then?!

lol.

It was a short, technical prologue, so suits the riders who can put out short bursts of high power. The goal for GC riders is to not lose much time, nothing more.

only 5 corners, but indeed not a course for the diesel long haul speeders. see the course and Koen de Kort's effort here:

Froome out of Tirreno due to illness.

Suffer score of only 13??????

I suffer more than that mounting the fixie skidder in tight jeans*. That cant be right.

(*not a hipster. Just a middle aged man in old jeans)

winner Kwiatkowski put in a marginally bigger effort ;-)

The HR on his training rides melts my brain. He literally didn't go into z3 all winter, even leading-out Cav!

I'm sure it's misinformation / psyops.
