Pro-cycling thread

I was watching it without commentary when they had over 100km to go and every little town or village they went through was packed with people cheers, there must have been thousands of spectators along the route.

So if i read between the lines.
Dreamy peat grassed up oge and the yates team over aussie spite.
Sutton is the puppeteer behind it all.
Who lives rent free courtesy of pinerello and the grithis tax .

Who sold the team bg kit and where is it now.
Who is next for the firing line ?

so what did Millar say about Boardman - did he criticise him for not being bitter enough after his retirement from a clean racing career with way more Olympic gold medals?

you can imagine Boulting and Imlach at the end of each day- "come on Ned lets go and get wankered and leave these two at it"

Yates. Sutton. OGE. BC. Inhalers. TUE's. Gimps. Wobblies. Sheilas. Bitches.

Strewth. Cycling's looking very 1997 this week.

I, for one, welcome our new French time-trialling overlords.

TBF they have spent alot of time and effort in last year or so actually riding a time trial bike in training rather than just pulling them out the Service Course on the morning of the stage.

Oh I think it's great, I would love to see Pinot do well in the Tour this year.

"Gimps. Wobblies. Sheilas. Bitches."

Wasn't that an early episode of Home & Away?

So what new shit has happened today?

No footage from the womens race yet cos a plane is broke or summat.

I blame Brailsford

It had to make an emergency landing due to a loss of power.

But that doesn't stop lots of people on Twitter moaning about it.

Nothing stops people on Twitter moaning.

Romandie looks good today.

Wish I'd had Romandie coverage, looked good. Froome smashed it apparently. No TdY either, satellite's fucked or something v

Didn't see who attacked first, he was away with Tejay VG. Dropped him in the last 3 km. Pissing down with rain. The others got close at the end. Beautiful scenery.

They nearly caught him.

I really enjoyed the last bit of footage from today's ToY, the whole last 5km ish from directly above, really interesting to see how the teams try and organise and force their way in to a good position.

Hugh Carthy took his first European pro win today, with the opening stage of the Vuelta Asturias.

Edit: He did, of course, win the Tour of Korea a couple of years ago. It's his first European win.

Good day for Sky.

Will never not laugh when Vajay-jay is described as a GT contender.

Nothing stops people on Twitter moaning.

At least the new bottom half of the Internet is limited to 140 characters.

Not sure if right place, but seen the video from red hook crit?

Gave me the shivvers.

See tweet for video.
