Dwars door Vlaanderen 2019
Roeselare - Waregem
183 km
/cyc/ - Dwars Door Vlaanderen
Regarding this crash at the final stage of Volta a Catalunya:
>Simon Geschke (CCC) broke collarbone and 4 ribs
>Romain Bardet (AG2R) had suspected rib fracture, but turned out to be relatively ok with some contusions and bruising
>Marc Soler (Movistar) left with fractured wrist
>Warren Barguil (Arkea-Samsic) diagnosed with fractured pelvis
>Someone stole Dan Martin's Garmin and Bardet's power meter while they were lying on the ground
Especially sucks for beard man Geschke because Catalunya was his first race after he recovered from fractured shoulder.
>vacation
>perfect weather
>nobody else in slopes
>/cyc/ in the afternoon

Iso-Syöte. It's on the smaller side but pretty comfy.
Oh ffs, the women or the juniors blocking the mens race
The peloton refusing to stop hahaha
The breakaway caught now hahaha this is chaos
This is stupid.

pic related is the system used on TdF. On one day races they have just one relay plane. iirc the relay broke for one of the one day races in 2015? Without the plane they'll be reliant on microwave transmitters on the bikes/helicopters, which lose signal all the time....
Cant they just skype the race
5G has been used in some TV broadcasts (BT Sport using EE 5G) atm TV broadcasts over cellular networks require this mental £10k device which takes several sim cards and transmits over all of them at once
>iirc the relay broke for one of the one day races in 2015
It was San Sebastian 2015 and what a shit show it was. Race radio was also down and motorbike mowed down Greg Van Avermaet.
That was it. 2016 Tour """"de"""" Yorkshire day one lost images too, leading to ASO flying a load of replacement hardware out on a chartered flight from southern france to get coverage for stage 2... worth mentioning that when footage is lost, the edit for the highlights is much more frantic, as it has to be compiled after the motos reach the finish
c'mon Yves show them some traktor skills
When will start using drones? Sick of this caveman coverage. Get a drone hovering above the peloton
looks like he has mono brow in this photo
Do you guys remember in the world championship where the camera cut out in the last few km and you got stuck watching the finish cam for the entire line to change in those last minutes.
Jungels taking it
What happened to oude-kwaremont & Paterberg, did they change the route?
Hopefully will see trials soon.... Have a drone moto which swaps the battery and drives the pilot about. You'd still need relay helicopters and the tourist shots of Chateaux (pic related), which are up to 10km away from the course
Ivan Garcia is such a unit.
I always like the Arenburg in old editions in the PR, where they go in, then theres no cameras until they come back out
>take ads when something finally happens
Thank god tv is a dying medium
just when Oliveira got puncture
Having Jungels in the group is a godsend
races are over so fast nowadays, used to be able to watch the last 30km after work but now they finish like an hour earlier
Whos the best sprinter? Van der poel? Can jungels sprint?
my favorite shroom
Based Devolder
It's time
hasn't been Yves' season start hope he gets something this year
based Mathieu
based and van der poeled
Two classics without a quick step win???
blessed timeline
Imagine training your entire life to be a road cyclist, a cobble specialist, spending all these years learning and building endurance, rising through the ranks.
All to lose to some bored 24 year old CXer in his offseason.
now they'll take the entire top 3 in de ronde
just win that race bro
= just go talk to her bro
its al genetic
Van Aert and Van Der Poel are horrible memes
Don't know about Van Aert, but MVdP seems like a real deal to me.
Anyway, Van Aert in desperate need to fix his brainlet riding ASAP.
What a unit. How can lesser women even compete?
Van der Poel is a literal anime character, Van Aert is just very good but might end up in Sep Vanmarcke territory if he doesn't figure things out.
>That jaw
wtf
that has to be a photoshop
A face made for radio
>Start racing year earlier than VdP
>Still get cucked in winning first WT race
is it just me or have teams become incredibly dumb/weak the last 2 years
shit like the lotto teams, they don't ride at all
whatever that husk of a team BMC turned into
QS only win big races not small warmup races
Flanders - Jungels
Roubaix - Stybar
LBL - Alaphillipe
Yes. It seems like everyone but quickstep just can't into teamwork. They'll send one or two guys up front when they want to catch a breakaway and then wonder why they couldn't catch them. Might be unironically better to increase the team sizes.
Imagine being WvA and knowing that you could be great if only you weren't born in the same timeline as Chad van der Poel
I imagine Michel Wuyts currently seething as fuck, could hear it in the race
