/cyc/ - Milan-SanRemo edition

milan

For me, it's Allahflip.
(although I'd like to see someone like Valverde win for maximum salt)

An actual autismo.

Comfy because you fall asleep with boredom for the first 6 hours

Is there a webm of Cavendish gymnastics from last year?

>tfw there will never battle against elements as in 2013

For me, it's also Allah-flip

For me it's raging at quickstepwinslol

For me, it's seething at the eternal anglo
luckily there's less of that in the classics

For me, it's Milan Sanremo, the most boring of the monuments

quality bantz

Will van der Poel do anything interesting in any of the monuments this year?

He'll win Parijs-Roubaix

Yes, he will ride in them. That will be very interesting

I nearly bet on Stybar 175/1
As long as he doesn't win now I am happy

Them and Katusha are just depressing to witness. They have good riders but for some reason they are just absolutely useless and never win anything.

It's amazing that he didn't fracture anything. But I still doubt he will be 100% form in near future.

heh he will just be a bit stiff and sore, there is no reason why he shouldnt be in top condition in a week or so. He will race tomorrow so I guess we will see how he gets on.

For me, its Mohoric with a crazy descent off the poggio

I just want to see him cuck Van Aert on the road. Silly boy thought he could escape his fate by quitting cyclocross.

>watching cycling before the last 20km

absolutely pleb

Quick step have 3 riders higher in the hierarchy today, think he's domestique exclusively

>not dozing off in a comfy chair while watching scenery porn
turbopleb

yikes

>not enjoying old man banter

I bet he will. Poor WVA is so unlucky he is in the same generation as the GOAT, otherwise he himself would be considered one of the biggest talents in the sport.

Katusha aren't even gonna try putting Kittel in the race, why show up at all

He had his share of success when MvdP had constant technical problems and crashes during WC. But it's pretty obvious he's inferior when MvdP at his 100% (or maybe even at 80%). I imagine Poulidor is proud as fuck. Truly chad rider.

watching him drop on the cipressa last year was painful though

For me Katusha is the saddest one to watch. They've supposedly got massive budget and they can't achieve shit.

I'm not so sure about "massive" part right now.

Nibali is a free agent for next year, get rid of Kittel and Zakarin and offer him a huge contract, only way to save this team

He'll go to Trek-Segafredo. Porte is busted anyway.

pls no, that's where old riders go to die.

Nibbles is a washed up old shark. Only way to save the team would be to invest in young talent

Alaphillipe is free agent as well, but no way he goes there

Porte has a two year contract, not sure they can afford nibali for next year

He will probably go for the big paycheck and follow barguil into obscurity

Nibbles is a past his prime GC contender. He'll be going to Trek.

They're in talks with him, according to cyyclingnews.

italian sponsor, just doubt they have the budget

I really hope he will stay at Quickstep. I think a lot of these guy underestimate the role of a team in racing. Just look at Kittel, Terpstra, Barguil or Coquard. They were all so fucking sure they can pull it off by themselves.

desperately NEED cycling to be this kino again

youtube.com/watch?v=AQodqWW4UkE

EPO era was NOT kino

The only good thing about that era were the people who could sometimes dab on the USPS team like Pantani or Beloki.

/BARDET/ will save us all

Go go Team Diabeetus (Novo Nordisk)

Diabetes team

just lol when they both re-sign Cavendish for next season AND probably sign Kittel to make up the most useless team oat

Wilford Brimley's team

thought i read somewhere its some american team which only has riders with diabetes or something. they inject insulin during the course to stay alive iirc

>half of the comments on their social media from people complaining about insulin prices

well, TIL

unironically yes, last kino tour winner

Any hope at all that Soren Kragh is back?

What was the purpose of USPS sponsoring a WorldTour team again? They have zero international business

Last kino tour winner was Rasmussen.

Has to Nibali

To promote cycling within the United States and it briefly worked.

Why are there morons not on aero wheels and aero frames

Except for the fact the race was decided after the cobbled stage, the last two weeks were boring

because it's a flat course with no risk of cross winds

Aero rims are a meme. Barely any faster and they royally fuck up handling. Lighter riders tend to not use aero rims at all because of the handling.

but that's exactly why you'd want an aero bike

For all the people in US that suddenly cared about cycling.

Some aero frames are shit and I wouldn't want to ride 300 km with some of them. Not being on aero wheels on the other hand is just stupid.

It was only boring because Nibali was so strong. He would have beaten Froome too

The worst thing that ever happened to cycling, if us government didn't get involved, the doping scandal might never have happened

>Rasmussen
>Tour winner

but other than that, I agree.

I think he talking about Giro 2016

Attached: milll.png (1366x768, 1.37M)

Grand tour that's it. Giro 2016 was kino.

does anyone have the gif of cavendish crashing two years ago?

The only meme aero wheels would be something like Zipp 808's, you save watts hand-over-fist with a 40-55mm aero wheel on a flat race like Milan San-Remo

This was true maybe 5 years ago, aero bikes now are really tolerable for long rides

Extra deep wheels are a meme. Aero wheels like 303s are the way to go.

They definitely are not a meme and save plenty of watts. They become a meme if you go above 60 mm on a road bike.

Yeah but not all manufacturers have a comfy modern aero frame on offer.

Who's team Caleb?

no, for some reason I strongly dislike him

Ah, I like him.

>sunn-eh

Attached: 1492835103605.jpg (212x212, 15K)

I want him to do well from a national perspective but have never overly liked him as a rider, I still think he"s the most likely if the fastmen duke it out.

that ad angers me

i think we all miss jewish ass desu
music makes me feel comfy though i have a weak spot for cheesy positive-vibe pop

I hate the "two cities one break" slogan. It's so bad.

>BORA
>A cucking rebolushion

SIDI CYCLING SHOES

>Great performance today, but there's no time for rest!
>Even for (You)

The India one is worse. I don't know how they thought it was a good idea. I cringe everytime

Who do you think is going to win today? I think it will be Viviani.

flipje or i will get mad

Who 33cm handlebars here?

CHEVAL

No Laura Messeguer today? Too bad desu

What would be the downside of that?

I 37.5cm on my roadie but I'm not quite as big as Jan-willem

They'll feel pretty weird climbing out of the saddle until you're very used to it, but other than that not much

I use 38

Break is ded

Bet on Bouhanni. Easy money

Hahahaha bouhanni is terrible, kittel levels of lazy

Bouhanni is shit plus his team hates him.

good jokes my southern friend

>Dropping the beetus guys

very rude desu

Great odds for a sprinter though. If he wins I'm a rich man and free chain lube for everyone in this thread

How do you want your lungs pham

Just fuck my shit up

on fire senpai!

lmao burning bush

it's a sign from god!

I like this Masnada lad, everywhere ive seen him he has been very attacky

Uuuh fluppen for the win ok

Why do you think there arn't any world tour black cyclists? You would think that there would be at least one.

Theres a couple actually

Racing in the world tour?

Stupid ads

yes

Bike racing is expensive.
Not many other reasons.

Wasn't last year at Milan sanremo where Cavendish somersaulted over a traffic island

It takes years of serious training to become a pro cyclist. There are not many black kids training form an early age

Eddy merckx was BLACK

two years ago I think

Inshallahflipping will win

who?

>Peloton sprints to foot of the hill
>They barely climb faster than the breakaway rider

u wot

Theres a bunch of eritreans I think, but they have very weird names so I couldnt name them.

>It's a no one wants to ride episode
Keep this in the tour plz

*NIBBLING INTENSIFIES*

>big baby about to get dropped

>It's a let's do nothing until poggio and be surprised that sprinters don't get dropped

>absolutely state of Dylel Greenstreets

> motos this close

threadly reminder that GVA will not win anything relevant this year

Why wouldnt trentin and gva want the faster sprinters dropped?

AAAARGH

Jesus fuck

Madman Bonifazio

Holy fuck that lean.

MAD LAD

dubs and Bonifazo dies on this descent

fucking motorbike

Marc Marquez on a road bike the madman

>brainlet moto

>peter sagan is the best descender

FUCK THE DEATHBIKES

Holy fuck what a madman

Absolute madman #respect

Crash now would be interesting

Boughanni high IQ already in Groenewegen's wheel preparing the sprint

Sprinter types tend to be really good at descending. You just never see it because they're in the grupetto.

Digits and a murderbike takes out a rider on the Poggio descent.

You're living the dream!

In Oliver I trust

You've reminded me I need to dump and it's Poggio. Thanks Yves.

I must be seeing double, six Quick-Step guys on the front

Same. It's especially neat if I play something on my PS3/PS4.

based Wout though almost worth throwing his cyclocross season for

Sagan messed up a bit. based Naesen though.

Paging the Sagan-hating Slovak to the thread

why bother, no one cares about cyclocross except a few Belgians

Why the fuck did Van Aert close the gap to Trentin? Reeeeeee

not even belgians care anymore since MVP wins everything

ALAPHILLIPEWINSLOL

>sprinters classic
>sprinters don't make it

What did Milan-Sanremo mean by this

Fuck quick step and fuck belgian people

>Let me close the gap for all these guys who can beat me in a sprint

Alaphilippe won "sprint" finish in Paris-Nice.

Belgians are mental midgets

>Aqua Blue Sport closing inadvertantly led to Trentin losing san remo

In case anyone missed the interview, the winner said he was really happy and thanked his teammates

Naesen quietly having a season

so sick of Quickstepwins, lads

anyway so you next sunday for Gent-Wevelgem aka the Sagan/Boonen GP
>implying i'll watch meme races like E3 or De Panne

De Panne has Kittel, so you better watch it

no interest for Volta a Catalunya?

Why don't other teams act as organized as them though, you'd think they would learn by now.
Things like Gilbert and Lampaert ride themselves to death for allez phillipe instead of trying to go themselves is something other teams barely do.

All the other teams don't care about each other
