>using gears

Doesn't look like Froome is interested winning the Tour of the Alps. Probably just training for the TDF.

was he ever so low profile in the first part of the season?

ffs, no Van Der Poel today :(

He has no further plans for road racing this year, aside from maybe Dutch nationals and WC.

Chad cyclist of the day - Mario Cipollini

>Cipollini made no secret that he did not like climbing stages, and while he completed all stages of the Giro on many occasions, he infuriated purists by not attempting mountain stages at the Tour or Vuelta. While this is a common practice with sprinters without points jersey aspirations so as to save themselves for the rest of the season, Cipollini's practice of releasing photos of himself lounging at the beach while the others struggled in the mountains earned him more than his fair share of attention in this regard.

Mind, it was era without social networks and widespread internet. Madman manually sent his photos to magazines to publish.

>Valverdewinslol

Still pissing of cycling redditors today when he said Nibali should have paid off the other riders to win the olympics

>Based wall finish

I`m not sure, all I know he's going for the TDF this season.

>fuck helmets

It unironically should be up to the riders, and should at least be allowed on mountain finishes for kino

Dan Martin is so weird-looking dude. Big head, wide torso, no waist, tiny short arms, stick legs below knees.

Hey, I agree.
Was really pissed off when they made it compulsory for the general public bike riders here.
You get caught riding without a helmet the police give you a fine. I suppose it`s the same in many western countries now.

The real season is already over, nothing will top the cobbled classics

>Sagan
what's up with him this year

Sagan will never win anything noteworthy again

Yeah, i studied in australia for a while, my host mom got pissed off at me for not wanting to use a helmet

Surely saving himself for Liege

What's the deal with Sagan, are his golden days over. Did his ex wife leaving him fuck him up mentally.

Woman

Team Dimension JUST

>Dome
F

Was there in Roubaix, just missed the last 15 k, guessing he'll have that at Liege

what kind of wheels are those?

What`s the law in Denmark regarding helmets?
What about other parts of Europe.

Round ones, I think. teehee

Theres been talks about it, but luckily biking is very normie here so it generally gets stopped by girls not wanting to mess up their hair

Un France, It's mandatory for children only.

typical classiclet, real season starts with Il Giro

I don't know of anywhere else that has laws for helmets
It would kill casual cycling. Do aussie cities not have bike rental schemes?

So, Australia is the nanny state.

Begone Yea Forums

the poor fuck has probably had to sell a few houses to pay her and now paying her 30% of his salary for the next 15 years.

That's how Australians are treated, like children.

I`ve never seen one, I`m sure there are some. I`m well out of the cities.

Only himself to blame for that.

Don't know how'd they be successful if you had to wear a helmet. Unless they provide helmets too.

Hope she was a good root.

>tour of Alps
>flat stage

they having a laugh

I`d say they would provide those for riders.

Peter was a good lad, this bitch has taken a toll on his performance for this next and who knows if perhaps the next one.
She divorced him right before a big race last year or GT I cant remember.

Oi Oi Oi

It was perfect tactics. Flip is just better

>Training ride for the stars

Shouldve sat up when alaphillipe caught him, saved for a final sprint

It was the final sprint

What are the most relevant races after monuments, grand tours and world champs?

I'm not that impressed with anything else.

Dubs confirm ded birdsong on sunday

Allahflip and van der Breggen both did double this year. Valverde won for four years straight. Is Flèche Wallonne the most predictable race ever?

After a long and thoughtful discussion, Kate and I have come to the conclusion that we would be much better if we separated as a couple. We feel we should continue our lives as good friends and we both agree it is the right decision.
We fell in love, went through a fantastic journey together and were blessed with a beautiful and lovely son, Marlon. Kate has been an important part of my life, supported me all these years in my professional career and is a great mother. We don't have any hard feelings for each other, we will just go our separate ways, with mutual respect.

Only married for three years. I wonder what went wrong.

Simple - The cobbled races

Hail to the winner

>tour down under
I must admit it`s shit, never watched one.
European bike racing has a certain atmosphere that other countries just can`t replicate.

Fuck I hate Aussie sporting stars wearing flags.
Time for that shit to end.
