Peter Sagan gets in break then attacks break solo with 60km to go.

And strong enough to finish 2nd behind Kristoff.

Man loves to race. And a race like this he's off the leash and just cab enjoy himself.

Am I the only one watching the Giro?

There's a specific Giro thread, Peter.

Dan McLay won again today, beating Bouhanni in the GP de la Somme.

Don't know if it was a computer game-esque sprint this time or not.

ah thanks Andy, I thought 'we' at lfgss did that only for the TdF and kept the talk about other races in this thread. I'll >>>>

I was also unaware! Although haven't been able to watch much having just moved. Been trying to keep current with cycling podcast though.

Tom Stewart won Velothon. He's fucking class.

Cavendish looking good in California, won the last stage by a couple of bike lengths from Sagan and Kristoff.

It's also good to see Degenkolb back racing and contesting finishes, he was 8th and 5th on the final two stages.

It will be interesting to see what sort of team British Cycling put together for the Worlds for Cavendish.

Presumably Swift is the quickest to be his final leadout man? Dan McLay has been impressive.

Then presumably some big engines like Rowe, Dowsett and Stannard.

Yeah, sod the Giro thread.

You know he's not an Aussie, right?

Esther Ban Chavs is top boy from Brunnusweek maaaate.

There you go.

Again with this Hippy? Inferiority complex much?

The pro-cycling thread has turned into the football thread and I'm pleased.

"You know he's not an Aussie, right?"

Post a fucking Colombian and get slated for him not being Aussie, post an Aussie get slated for some kind of complex that clearly only occurs within the English gene pool.

Off you trot >>>

What I didn't understand from the replay was what looked like Alaphillipe celebrating wildly when Cav crossed the line, so beating his own teammate in the sprint.

Alaphillipe was celebrating his GC win.

OK! Keep fighting the good fight. You'll win one day.

Me or Australia or OGE or Colombia or Chaves?

It's all on you. You vs. the poms.

Nah, he was staring adoringly at Cav. Which is cool, I'm pretty happy when he wins too.
