Tht's a well-known fact. His skating skills allow him to gain time on his opponents at hairpin corners, easily 1 second on every tornante.

177 is not that bad for a cyclist.

That guy is at amateur level.

Just look at the youtube videos of amateurs doing this stage on Zwift.

RIP riding 8km of a GT, and then you're out

Reminder to listen to Lance's podcast or you will crash on your next ride

>The Route: 205km through the Apeninnes to Tuscany, one of the hotbeds of Italian cycling where names like Lamporecchio and Mastromarco rhyme with pro races and Italy’s strong U23 racing scene alike and this means a course familiar to many in the peloton and convoy alike. As such the two climbs to Montalbano and the San Baronto road shouldn’t be a surprise but they’re the crunch points and will have the sprinters on edge. Montalbano is steeper but San Baronto twists and turns. The twisting roads will line out the peloton and it’s possible some riders who have issues with gravity may be dropped in the finish.

>The Finish: a hectic town centre finish with narrow streets and tight corners. Just within 3km to go there’s a pinch point as they take a narrow shopping street and then flick right and for the remaining 2.5km the finish uses bigger, wider roads before a flat finish.

Could it be a le breakaway man episode? I'd say he would save himself for a tougher stage but there are no tough stages in the first week.

The host talking to Riis and Worre is the most annoying shitter. Hope Riis melts down at some point during the giro

He does a weekly podcast with Bay & Brian Holm, and Brian Holm yelled at him for calling Liege bastogne liege "sleep inducing"

Is Bjarne any good as a tv analyst?

Fuck you Armstrong shoulf be forgotten

"No"

Did they give points for the fastest ascend yesterfay?

"Yes"

Takes an irish cuck to keep supporting angloids and anglo-americans lmao

Yes. Bjarne is fucking based. He does TdF every year for our main cycling channel(unfortunately Eurosport/Discovery have bought the broadcasting rights of the two other GT's)
He's very simple and doesn't buy into the hype the hosts always try to impose on the stage and certain persons.
He's also notoriously known for doubting /birdsong/

You got to remember that he rode during the EPO peak, formed a team after he's career which he managed for 15 years, until Oleg fucked him over. He knows everything there is about cycling. He's a very good tactician

>Eddy Merckx should be forgotten

Nope, first mountain points today.

>Cipollini had a clear vision for the way he wanted cycling to look and feel. In 2012, he reflected on cycling’s stars in an interview. “When you used to look at Hinault, you saw a good-looking bloke. Indurain, fuck, he was handsome. Strong men. Merckx, bloody hell, he was like an actor …” Cipollini said. And of the top riders of the day, Alberto Contador and Andy Schleck, he had the following to offer: “Contador and Schleck congratulating each other by giving each other a little tap on the top of the Tourmalet … You’d think they were a pair of gays.”

Because he didn't mind radios during his career, and certainly wasn't against "turning riders into robots controlled from the team car" as he expressed it now.

Well could be that he didnt like it, but tolerated it because thats how he could win.

This is amazing

He was there when the riders chimped out during a stage of Tour de France when they weren't radio allowed even though they knew it since a year

Which makes it hypocritical, because he took advantage of it, when he was riding, but gets on the high horse now

Well if you are participating in a sport you use whatever is at your disposal to win, doesnt mean you have to like it. What else was he supposed to do?

Nice.

Oh crap, Eurosport and Kanal 5 commercials aligned. Oh god oh fuck.

did NJS ever allowed modern bikes for men keirin?

its tvs fault we missed a lot of the climb because of the chute and then they showed the peleton going to the line when the break descendeed

Eurosport are incompetent dicks, their signal stopped working during the entirety of tour of flanders this year

You have to PAY for eurosport? then why do they constantly interrupt the live action with commercials? I think you're spinning me a lie here

Eurosportplayer had a working stream for the entire race. It was only their broadcast that was fucked.

You can actually watch an uninterrupted feed on the player. I really like it, its 20 euros a year here and its main use for me is to watch races in the evening when I cant watch them live.

Why does Quick Step have so many danish cyborgs that can single handedly lead a peloton all day?

free on tv + i can watch it on german, english and uncommented online with player i think

It broadcasts basically all cycling races m8, and a lot of races are on weekdays as well. I use it for cycling only and its well worth the 20 euros a year.

Anyone got heli footage of sprint?

a friend of my father is one of the biggest bora resellers in germany, i asked him for a signed sagan shirt. i only like sagan tho not Bora

German engineering, for your hair.

There were no heli's today

Are they without commentators?

Usually yes, but for the grand tours its with english commentary

its on/off i only buy it for the grand tours 3x6 bucks

I'm looking to get new (disk brake) wheels for my road bike. Recommendations?

You should only get disk brakes if you live in a very wet climate. Don't fall for big brand marketing (profit margins are way higher on disk brakes).

My bike came with disk brakes and I've really enjoyed them, and it gets pretty wet in the winter where I am.
