Wtf why did that fraud MvdP not win today
>losing to cockhard
>1 week until the Vuelta
HYPE
Roglic (at least, I assume Kruijswijk is riding for him and not the other way around considering fresher legs) is going to win it for based team /drijftenue/
Too fatigued after beat Avancini in MTB events
should've use anime pic
We should for the Vuelt/a/
TIL there's Japanese oil company called Eneos that uses very similar font as Ineos (well, later half at least).
>I-I-I-I D-D-D-DIDN'T EVEN MENTION YOU! INSTEAD I JUST REPEATED THE SAME BUTTHURT STYLE OF POSTING THAT I'VE USED REPEATEDLY IN THESE THREADS TO INDICATE MY BUTTHURT ABOUT BRITAIN!
What a load of cope just because you lost the Tour.
Pathetic. You shit your pants just because British cyclists participate in this sport and just because British fans get behind them, as if that's any different from other country. Simply because there's a sea between us you shit your pants.
>retired
>should retire
>fraud
>retired fraud
LOL this guy is still SEETHING. How can you get this mad HAHAHAHA
Yeah it's an old picture but it's a good one. Why is G a fraud?
>daily reminder Viviani will never wn a gt stage again
Nah mate, just pointing out that you guys can't seem to stop seething just because British cyclists exist and British fans support them - just like every other country supports their athletes. Why does this bemuse and perplex you so much?
>watch how to turn mediocre fat track cyclist into TdF winner with one simple trick!
By the way that's a rhetorical question, I don't want to know the answer, I don't give a shit why you seethe, I'm just pointing out that you guys can't stop getting mad just because we're in this sport.
Wow I guess training doesn't exist. Unless there's something to suggest that they're breaking the rules, like contact with a doping doctor, or testimony from soigneurs / other riders, then any speculation is baseless.
I have a feeling Thomas will turn to be Floyd Landis to Froome's Armstrong in few years. Till then, feel free to reply 'SEETHING' all you want.
>he literally CANNOT stop seething for being made fun of
>he HAS to try and reframe it as us being jealous and not us just making fun of his insecure ass
Embarassing hahahaha
that's autism for you
JAJAJAJAJJAJAJAJAJ EL OGRO BRITANICO
The last thread I was a bit annoyed about the thread getting fucked up by the same retarded shit every time but now I can only laugh anymore, this guy is unbelievable. You can really tell how angry he is about that parody of him HAHAHAHAHA
That parody was pure kino, just framed it for posterity.
F
F
Lutsenko will expose him tomorrow
>being so absolutely seething that british cyclists exist and british fans exist that you form a pathetic little huddle where you can revel in mediocrity
What does it feel like to be so pathetic? Not because your riders haven't succeeded, that's not pathetic. What's pathetic is that you're so butthurt just because British riders have done well and British fans support them. Just because there's a tiny fucking strip of sea between us you start shitting your pants that Brits have come in and ramped up our participation in cycling.
Yeah, pathetic.
Chad VDP is not supposed to be able to climb that kind of stuff anyway

I really like this picture.
original or this particular variation?

btw just want to thank the BASED dutch bro for the good posts overall
I'd just like to give a shout out to the toothpaste that went through the effort to answer my post with the Brit parody in the previous thread. This is fucking gold.
The vibe for Vuelta is growing day after day

Will South America make 3 out of 3 this year with the Vuelta?
Will Europe be eternally BTFO if it happens?

Roglic is a captain after all
For me, it's drijftenue
Was to be expected after Kruijswijk and Bennett rode the TdF
3 actual superdomestiques for him tho (unless Gesink gets a bit more free role to go for stage wins), nice

>literally cannot stop seething just because british cyclists exist and british fans exist
You realise you're utterly pathetic, right?
Roglic is coming with a super team this Vuelta, he's poised to cuck them out of the triple.
Did Movistar roster define?
Kek thanks, I had a lot of fun making it up. And he is still mad hahahaha
No mate, the only people who are mad are continentals who can't stand the fact that we're winning in cycling. Why is that? Why does our success make you so mad and jealous? It's pretty pathetic that you guys have been seething for over a month at this point just because British posters appear in these threads because we want to follow cycling. What is it that causes continentals to be this fucking pathetic?
>is clearly extremely mad
>no one even talked about british success, just made fun of him
lmao literally everyone thinks you're the most pathetic person in the thread, no wonder you're seething hard
Don't give him (You)'s friend, he's not worth addressing directly. I am really enjoying how my little post makes still makes him furious after all those hours though.
Ye I'll probably stop soon but for the moment I'm loving how much each reply keeps him absolutely seething, he's so damn insecure
Why do you pathetic continentals seethe so fucking hard just because we're winning bike races? Is this really how pathetic you are? Just because one country wins a couple races you start seething any time British riders or British teams get mentioned, or any time a British poster supports their cyclists?
Brailsford was wrong when he said disdain for Brits was a French cultural thing; it's clearly a Dutch cultural thing.
Gibraltar does count as part of continent
Furthermore:
>insecure
>every time british riders or teams are even mentioned in these threads, people like you shit your pants and can't stand the fact that a british cyclist or team has been mentioned, and invent conspiracy theories because you just can't face the fact that our cyclists are winning and yours are losing
How's that insecurity working out for you, chump?
The (You) deficit at play here is highly concerning.
>Hey guys did you know that Roglic is a former ski jumper?
>Btw he's a former ski jumper
I wish our guys knew a bit more trivia than that
I won't watch the vuelta, but Ineos are basically guaranteed to win, right? Also when was the last time Ineos didn't win the Tour? Feels like they've won it for about a decade!
He's good at descending because he's used to speed! Derivative trivia.
>d-d-don't reply to the big scary anglo g-g-guise! then m-maybe he'll leave us alone!
Kek. I wouldn't point that out in here mate, they get a bit butthurt about that subject unfortunately!
>he is so mad and longing for support and (you)'s that he starts samefagging again
It's not just autism, nothing really wrong with that, this is another level. I think this guy might be just as crazy as the famous one who made this whole book full of fantasies about some tripfag on Yea Forums
I don't want to give him more attention but it's entertaining like watching a trainwreck. This full meltdown is great after all the shitting up he did.
Nah, I'd say MTS and Jumbo-Visma have the best chance of winning the Vuelta with their lineup and state of the legs, but of course you'd have to actually follow cycling to get that
Btw, this is not against brits because MTS is an anglo team, so don't strawman me with insane invented arguments
Also, 2014, to your other question
Quintana Carapaz Valverde Amador Rojas Anacona Sepulveda
So one more name to be announced
>Valverde
No he won't do that because it is "another British guy" again lol
>Movistar
>putting Amador to ride the three GTs
How Joembo is mirroring the Movistar's trident >strategy, so there shall Crashwijk marking Quintana, Chokelic marking Carapaz and Bennett marking Valverde
It's funny how desperate you are to try and exact your revenge on Brits. How mad you are, maybe because you didn't win the Tour? I don't know why. But it's a fascinating study in human behaviour.
Why can't you just shut the fuck up and let people discuss cycling? Why do you have to get butthurt to an inhuman degree just because Brits take part in this sport? It's been 10 years since Ineos was founded and you still can't handle it?
Oh yeah and I didn't mention the conspiracy theories. You're SO mad about Britain that you invent conspiracy theories about every British poster being the same? What is this insanity? I would say it's unique to the Dutch but there's a Belgian poster I always see whose supremely butthurt too. Maybe it's unique to Dutch speakers, I don't know.
HOES MAD
youtube.com
>he's so insanely coping that he tries to reframe this affair as being about jealousy at Britain even tho it's clearly all about making fun of HIM personally and his insecurity
>he's so insecure he literally can't ignore a single post that isn't 100% positive about him or british riders
>he's so insecure that he's spent the past 12 hours absolutely SEETHING just because a post parodied his posting style
absolute kek
I love brits and I don't mind them winning, it's just so funny to see this one guy absolutely seethe
But he regularly rinses you in these threads, and it's pretty clear that he isn't mad. His posts define the thread, such are the volume of responses he gets. And before you accuse him of sameposting, I'm a casual af poster who rarely comes about. It's just interesting to see him calmly running the thread.
>and it's pretty clear that he isn't mad
on the 0.!% chance that this isn't samefagging, explain how he isn't mad when even though no on mentioned british riders or british teams he still started seething
you are bamboozled. I haven't read the whole thread and I won't do so just to answer your begging little enquiry.
>continentals constantly claim "it's not about britain"
>a few minutes later they'll say "FUCK INEOS / BRITS / ANGLOS" etc.
>get so mad in their flustered frustration at british dominance that they try in vain to mock us
It must be torture to constantly seethe at another country's dominance.
Ciclismo de estrada
>check /cyc/
>britposting
>another country's dominance
>sudamericans are dominating
I see why he's seething.
>not seething
>spends hours and hours a day scanning every single posts that could even slightly allude at something related to uk postal
>he doesn't even watches the races (check the threads of the past 2 weeks, he's never around during them) and only comes here to defend the honor of his majesty Sir Salbutamol the Doper
That's clearly the behaviour of an obsessed unhealthy madman, seething at even the slightly poke at uk postal and yes we have fun making fun of him, problems?
Yeah we had our fun yesterday but for me it's done now, the guy got completely embarrassed like he deserved so I hope noone is dumb enough to give him ANY attention anymore. Or the "other British guy" that is totally not him who sees nothing wrong with completely batshit crazy posts and has the opinion that the autist is "calmly running the thread" hahahaha. He has no idea how crazy his behavior is and thinks anyone would actually believe that some "casual watcher" would defend his insane ass.
It's weird how he ended up here, since it's clear he doesn't even watch cycling, never even tried to discuss races etc. His one meaning in life seems to be to defend his great nation on some dumb forum against a community of like 15 people.
And I mean we can laugh at him of course, but for fuck's sake don't challenge his "arguments" anymore. He is crazy. He doesn't understand you. The end.
What this guy said. /cyc/ is so comfy, don't let this autist ruins it.
>Vuelta a España thread
>not a single Spanish flag until now
the fucking state of cycling in this country, baka
>check thread the next day
>british autist is still platinum MAD
truly remarkable
we need a real contender to get hyped
At least other nations care about Vuelta now. I looked up the results of 15 years ago, all Spanish kek. It was pretty much a joke back then
1 Roberto Heras (ESP)
2 Santiago Pérez (ESP)
3 Francisco Mancebo (ESP)
4 Alejandro Valverde (ESP)
5 Carlos García Quesada (ESP)
6 Carlos Sastre (ESP)
7 Isidro Nozal (ESP)
8 José Ángel Gómez Marchante (ESP)
9 Luis Pérez (ESP)
10 David Blanco (ESP)
I think Vuelta's popularity took a blow when they change the dates to august in that period.
Woke up this morning and all my sports channels are gone apart from one.... Eurosport sill lives!
Finally read that email they sent me a few weeks ago. Old deal is over and they want 50e a month to keep the sports channels. I think i will survive without Motogp and Aussie rules thanks.

Vuelta's odds 1 week before the race, Roglic was the favorite in the Giro too but then blew it up.
This time he has the best team but we haven't see him racing lately so who knows his actual condition.
The problem is the tdf is too big and everything seems insignificant in comparison. Even the Giro seems small compared to tdf. And the Vuelta is definitely way below the Giro in terms of hype. My bookie isn't even bothered giving odds on the Vuelta
Fug forgot the image.
how many TT are there?
TJ is back for more punishment
2, a TTT and the ITT is the longest out of any GT's ITT this year.
>3 summit finishes in a row in the first week
classic Vuelta
>36 km
it's nothing
Where are my 60 km TT's AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
They are saving them until Remco starts doing grand tours
>Virgin sprinters have to suffer until the end to get their flat stages
>Valverde same odds as Quintana
kek
Looks pretty based, can't wait! Should have had a TT in Madrid though
kek, valverde green jersey confirmed
lmao nice
damn why they hating on my boy esteban like that
mono could flare up at any time
Aru too, he is back and ready to kick asses at the vuelta.
Fuglsang is doing the Vuelta? He isn't on the startlist
F
Isn't Lennard Hofstede the guy on Big Bang Theory?
Do Danes really watch shit shows like that?
kek
He showed intentions of going but maybe they are still evaluating his condition after his crash
>- There are still Vuelta a España, Italian one-day races and the World Cup at the end of the season.
>- My goal is to get to the Vuelta. We have talked before that I have to run the race in preparation and to help Miguel Ángel López.
>- Now we have to see how long I am out and how I feel when I'm back on the bike. But I'm probably more motivated to come back and try to show something in the Vuelta, says Fuglsang.
Went for a bike ride this morning and finished it off with a climb which kicked up to around 20% (according to bikehike). When I was on this section, I had to stand up and lean forward otherwise my front wheel would lift. But when I watch cycling on the telly, a lot of riders remain seated even during the really steep bits. I'm not sure what's happening here. Are racing bikes are less likely to tip up? Do pro riders know how to distribute their weight better?
why the fuck aren't you mentioning the Arctic race of Norway race in the OP ?
They deliberately wanted to make a shit OP just to piss off some the guy who made the previous OP (which included, alongside plenty of useful information, the Tour of Norway). This guy has already left /cyc/ but the retards who believe an anonymous thread belongs to their special gang are maintaining the shit tier OP quality out of pure spite.
I wish I was lying but the posters here are like cliquey insecure schoolgirls which is really sad and pathetic when you think about it.
do you have road bike or mtb?
Big Baby abandoned Binck Bank Tour
twitter.com
>Fuglsang is winning the vuelta?
Why yes, thanks for noticing.
Nice, Roglic better delivers this time.
He peaked too early at the Giro and had no team to help him.
I HURT MYSELF TODAY
Well at least we had fun laughing at his failures
Hybrid with the suspension locked.
Road bike geometry put more weight at front, MTB geometry is the opposite and trying to put more weight to the back. Maybe that's your problem.
nice profile today at Arctic Race
F
BinckBank Tour is my favourute cycling race of the year
F
Cant wait to see MVDP utterly exposed on that final climb. I am a big fan of his but im starting to dislike the hype surrounding him, so a good BTFO'ing is necessary.
they have an official salmon for the race
That makes sense, cheers. Would be nice to try mashing my way up a steep hill instead of spinning but I will have to wait until I save enough for a decent road bike. Still lots of fun though feeling the acid burn deep in my calfs.
>continentals literally CANNOT EVER STOP seething just because britain EXISTS in cycling
I guess the British success of the 2010s will constantly be a source of irrepressible BUTTHURT for you guys, won't it? Don't worry, I'll keep reminding you of it. Not because I want to - to be honest it's fucking boring. The reason why is because you fags think you can stop a certain nationality from posting here if you all start seething together. THAT'S why. THAT'S why I ain't going anywhere. I ain't moving a single fucking inch until you cunts stop shitting your pants just because one single country is posting here. Enjoy the show lads.
>I wish I was lying but the posters here are like cliquey insecure schoolgirls which is really sad and pathetic when you think about it.
You've summed it up better than anyone else.
>spamming this shit every single day
>can't resist replying to any criticism
>y-you're the one who's seething
calm down autismo
W-we have a race going on too, guys.
The Tour of Utah. It's not much, but it's got a lot of climbing. 11,000+ meters over 7 stages.
Stage 5 of 6 is today.
Please watch.
>only two WT teams participating
pass
That's OK. I understand.
I did watch some of it friend, the scenery is nice. But if Ben Hermans is destroying the field the competition is somewhat... questionable.
I'd watch it but time difference is killing it for me.
I saw stage 2 which was high grade comfy. Forests and grassy mountains are cool but there was something about the bleak and rocky landscape which made it look especially gruelling.
suffering is kino
That's why stages with rain/snow are top tier
everyone seems to pull out of vuelta
not so much star power this year
Depends on the type of rain. A nice steady drizzle can make climbing so much easier than scorching heat. If Tom Simpson's death was in colour, it would have been ultimate kino. You're right that a blustery downpour on an exposed climb is pure hell. Descending in that weather isn't fun either.
>something about the bleak and rocky landscape
Yeah. The Southern Rockies have a beauty that is definitely an acquired taste.
>wet descents
yes, YES
Vuelta is shit
nice dog
>If Tom Simpson's death was in colour, it would have been ultimate kino.
Watching a guy have a seizure and his heart explode during a speed overdose is not exactly kino.
dying part in cycling races in general isn't very fun
>Tom Simpson
Brits don't dop---
Should i run naked in the streets when the cyclist come and try getting on tv?
Does anyone have link to livestream? dont have tv lol
stream right now is only up in eurosport player.
tv coverage should start in ~hour and half, so there should be stream on tiz then
I mean to be fair, everyone did back then, you were expected to use amphetamines to even have a shot at competing.
I know. Just banter. It's been over 50 years, I think his family is over it by now.
It reminds me of a TV interview Fausto Coppi gave regarding dope.
>Do cyclists take "la bomba" (a mix of caffeine and amphetamines)?
Yes, and those who claim otherwise, it's not worth talking to them about cycling.
>And you, did you take la bomba?
Yes, but only when it was necessary.
>And when was it necessary?
Almost all the time!
Cool. The race started over an hour ago though
Binck Banck Tour ITT starts in 15 minutes. Got my beverage ready.

Now Greenroads says he is still in pain from that crash in the 1st stage of the Tour? Sounds like bullshit to me, that was 100 years ago and there were no fractures.
Wtf that wind. So Ganna will win
Finally enough wind for echelons and we get a time trial
Sounds like Tom, completely collapsing after one tiny crash
Yeah, he says after that crash he never felt good anymore. Are the Dutch weakminded? Mathieu is a dramaqueen too when he crashes
He did surprising well at ronde after his crash.
why did they put a meaningless 8km tt on a weekend? dumb dutchies
Mathieu has a history of crashing in races and winning or doing anyway, but that's what you get from a cyclocross man
here's some news: Victor Campenaerts is off to dimension data

Carapaz is not at his best and there's only 1 week until the Vuelta.
2 stages, 2 GC wins in a row, I wonder if they are gonna let him do the Vuelta.
Cutie interviewer can speak Spanish and Italian
Good, means he's not peaking too early
She literally asked the winner whether he was satisfied with his time, she's a bimbo
Who's gonna win on that steep thing in Norway lads? For me, its Lutsenko.
This, the interviews have been cringe all week
stream for artic ?
Is it the same bimbo that kissed the rider earlier this year? I swear Sporza needs a better hiring policy
Warren Barguil
No that's a radio presentor

It shouldn't be classified at all
Is there a different ranking of climbs based on the country or what ?
Norway is so beautiful. One of the few countries in Europe I haven't visited, why is it so expensive reeee
Norway had a road sign saying "end of waste zone"
What is that about?
What's the deal with pink blow up flamingos on the side of the road in the Tour of Norway.
Explain yourself Norwegians.
Wondered about that myself.
is it for the race maybe? like, the end of zone where riders can discard empty gel sachets and bar wrappers.
I like those highlights right after the stage of the burgers.
Nothing, everything is fine! Forget it
French commentator said that the climb was the Norvegian Ventoux. True ?
Don't you have longer climb in Norway ?
Because they don't want poor tourists.
Joke aside, Amsterdam is amazing but the amount of stoned french/italians/spanish ruins it.
I am pretty blown away by this scenery to be desu.
TdF mountaintop chess players blown the fuck out.
Amsterdam is a shithole tourist trap, I have been there maybe 2 or 3 times in my life.
This is bullshit, they just paved the road and it's quite short.
Most famous are probably trollstigen and Lysebotn
why they don't use it? looks pretty kino. everyone likes hairpins
>van poopel
Only way to use this is to go down the same road. I guess you can make it a TT.
Climb TTs are top comfy, they really should do those much more often
this, a few races have These already
Can Chad van der Poel actually do this? I refuse to believe that a 75kg rider can win on a finish like this.

I'd be surprised if he will finish in first bunch t b h

It was the morning of the last stage.
But then you would be suffering in Norway. Now you at least have an excuse to be miserable
The cringiest jersey of all time in cycling history has to be the salmon jersey.
I have some friends in Norway and apart from lack of sunlight they say iylts pretty comfy most times.
>barguil first
What kind of a trashy tour is this.
Who else is watching the comfy Larry H Miller Tour of Utah.
Not comfy at all at that time.
they edit the days action down to 1 hour with podium and show it at 11pm here, which is pretty darn comfy.
Ben Hermans is for ICA is in yellow. The Pro Conti teams are beating the WT teams who seem to be really loafing.
I boycott American and Australian races
Just noticed our boy /Hiroki Nishimura/ was able to finish the tour of burgers! Just around 1 hour behind Sosa, ナイス!
based as a rider i would boycott them and the ones in the middle east also
greta tunberg ftw
/ourguy/
>they look at the bike first
The owner of Yea Forums, internet hate machine?
how long until he wins the tour?
>fixi
no thanks
That's his evil alter-ego HiroYUki Nishimura
I remember reading an interview of him before the Giro where he talked about all the set backs and difficulties he faced before the race. He had a big injury that kept him off the bike for 2 years and at that point he decided to quit but his coach and his mates motivated him and helped him come back. Thanks to them he completely recovered and went to join a Professional team.
When they sent him to the Giro it wasn't because he was strong or anything, but it was because his strong attitude and willingness to work hard.
They wanted to give him a chance to try himself and improve for the future, as an hope for Japanese cycling but we know how it ended.
It was like watching an anime MC entering a new arc and getting completely stomped by the new stronger opponents.
It's nice to see him not losing himself and keep fighting, I hope he improves and wins something at some point.
So he is like Krillin? Redemption saga during Tournament of Power (TdF) then.
too bad for you, a Belgian is in yellow in Utah.
Who the fuck is Larry H Miller anyway. How many times did he ride the Tour?
>The Great Britain men’s team’s hope of capturing the rainbow jersey at their home World Championships in Yorkshire has been dealt a blow as they will only have six riders on the start line instead of the maximum of eight.

Actually looking at the distribution of the slots the current system makes sense, better having strong riders from the smaller countries than 3rd rate riders filling the peloton.
Disgusting practices by the UCI, they are deliberately sabotaging Britain because they were SEETHING about all those races won this year. Like uhh... you know that one race... uhm wait... let me get back on that later. Anyway, they are SEETHING.

HAHAHAHAHAHA do they even have bikes there? THIS CANNOT BE HAPPENING LOL
Oh no no no but continentals were suppose to be seething because we are dominating REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE DELETE THIS
>11 GREAT BRITAIN
oh my
kek
It is what it is. The UK has overachieved for the past decade and a lot of the resources go into the track side of the sport in any case. Froome's injury can't have helped but six riders is still a decent representation.
This. Otherwise, it would be akin to the SPL getting the same amount of teams into Europe as the Premiership.
>SLOVENIA
Roglič, Mohorič, Mezgec and Pogačar have all been top notch this season.
HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHA

Wait, do you think Sagan is Slovenian or are you just assuming that Slovenia and Slovakia are the same country?
In either case, you're a casual.
I thought he was FLEMISH?
I had convinced myself that Sagan was Slovenian, due in part to the fact that we occasionally have Slovenian visitors here and they always talk about him.
But apparently he's Slovakian. Oops.
Slovenians are a funny people. Even though they're ex-ju Slavs, they never really considered themselves Balkan. Rather they feel more Western/Central European so it's unsurprising that they'd talk about 2agan and let you assume he's one of theirs.
2agan is a fraud though, why would they want to be associated with him?
>not sure if he starts today because of a little headache
Told you he is a dramaqueen, always some excuse and he often just gives up when he feels like he can't win, instead of trying anyway
There have never been Slovenians here talking about Sagan, their flags just look alike. We had a Slovakian that was always SEETHING about him, only posting about how he hates Sagan. I miss that guy.
>2agan
>fraud
wat
Smart move. World Champs are coming up no point racing scrubs up in Lapland. Can't believe how much time these guys spend racing mickey mouse races when they should be at home doing quality training.
Danish race Fyn Rundt just started. 3rd oldest race in the world.
Lots of Danes + Israel Cycling Academy and FC Porto (*spits*).
Never heard of it. en.wikipedia.org
Even the drummer of Metallica could win it in 2008 so I think I'll skip

Dan Martin just trew his GC ambitions away and joined the kikes for 2 years. Probably back to stage hunting in spring classics
We will miss all Lutsenko vs. Barguil bonus sprints i suppose ?
it's already on in eurosport player stream
>Jungels
why
thanks wanted to buy it anyway for vuelta
This Arctic Race of Norway needs some big name riders, more stages with mountains and more podium thots, then it would be perfect.
What it really needs is more spectators with fish
how the race becomes the part of world tour anyway? do they just throw money at UCI?
Yes, that too.
ITS GETTING VERY FLEMISH
Bennett in second group
Based De Plus. Team JUMBO VISMA dabbing on everyone again
wellens btfo
Lellens getting cucked again, can Gva break the Yea Forums curse?
The absolute state of Lotto and Wellens
two eternal number 2's and Laurens De Plus, weird group
Naesen will outsprint him. GVA never wins another race again
Greg always beats Naesen
lel where's lotto? Wellens is all alone?
daily reminder that the FLEMISH are the most powerful race in the current world
they will both lose because they aren't winners
Greg has olympiad + roubaix
hes not that bad
that was on BMC, it's not possible on Team Cuck Cuck Cuck
I always think it's very funny when Wellens gets cucked, I don't even know why
I'm out of beers guys, pretty sad.
Still have 2 cans. I'd share if I could.
You now remember Naesen almost won San Remo. I cry ever tim
then got sick from the champagne, kek what a bitch
That was from Gent-Wevelgem
>Getting sprayed with 6 degree champagne after 240km race
I'm surprised more riders don't get sick from that
Imagine being a Vanmarcke fan
this model of helmet always looks like angry eyebrows to me

>the absolute state of GVA
kek
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
kwab
GVA and Naesen are really good friend and GVA has won there already
Do you think he went that early (couldnt possibly win) because he wanted it to gift it to naesen (in a sublte manner)
What a great day, good guys Naesen and De Plus win, frauds GVA and Wellens get cucked
Glad naesen won. He doesn't win often
Just retire already
Maybe you could... help a little?
Who wins?
FLEMISH
Avermaet is craving a win so no. Not at all
You're doing it wrong, you're supposed to say SEETHING LOLOLOL etc x10
Why would anyone in their right mind build their team around Greg Van AverSHIT? LOL
>inshallah
For me it's Oliver abdullah Naesen
hello darkness, my old friend
What is the opinion about the flemish in your country? Would you mind an EU dominated by the FLEMISH ? I warn you, we are based and redpilled
Time to stop supporting Van Avermaet, gonna go full EveneCHAD now. It was fun while it lasted
Greg cucked by Wellens for 3rd place in gc by 1 second kek
>tfw no autistic Flandrian to ride a dragon with
I'm thinking this year without wins wont be a bad thing for GVA desu lads, maybe now in the spring classics he wont be looked at as much to do work
thoughts?
>muh bjorg
Sure buddy, sure
>de plus
ninof power
It's been 2 years already m8, what's his last win anyway?
Almost 50% chance he voted for Vlaams belang
CHOCOMOUSSE
stage in the tour of yorkshire and it was gifted to him lmao
last real win was a stage in the vuelta valenciana this year
But still this classics season other riders always looked at him to do the work, (and he always does) maybe now they wont anymore.
I still believe in PUNISHED GVA
Reminder that Narvik remains german
He wants one last win I think. I think he's so desperate by now that today's stage would've qualified as a big win in his head.
Norway on Eurosport now
>ywn live a comfy life there and drink a few beers at your local fjord
REEEEEEEEEEEE
>last real win was a stage in the vuelta valenciana this year
I said real win
tour of yorkshire 2018
answer my question
Paris roubaix 2017 was his last world tour win, other than that a stage in tour oman in 2018 and ttt wins with bmc
not a real win, he hasn't done anything since winning omloop, e3, wevelgem and roubaix in 2017
ok still answer my question will this be good for his next spring classics season
imo yes
>tour of yorkshire 2018
I said real win, something that was telivised or atleast people care about. You probably have to go as far back as his Paris-Roubaix win. He didn't even win in his yellow jersey in the TdF
P-R 2017, that's grim m8
He's getting old and he has got a shit team. He's not going anywhere
>van der Poep
hes barely hanging on the back of the peleton rn, two more rounds of climbing so he will be dropped
>Mathieu
FRAUD
nah, he's helpless against the newer generation
Useless rider, should just retire already desu
Yeah it's over. Sad
Really hate these Eurosport commercials. Cringe
any video of norway race?
STOP WASTING WATER REEE
This commercial with the kids giving speeches actually angers me. If that was one of my kids I would kick their ass, little shits. I bet they will grow up being insufferable assholes.
Well to make you less sad, beers are absurdly expensive here
well of course norwegians were the most alcoholic peopel in europe! in the early 1900's
Yeah, how can someone think this is effective in any way? I understand there are some problems with the climate but I am not gonna listen to literally little children who feel entitled enough to give a speech in a supermarket and tell you how the world works. They don't know shit, they are LITTLE CHILDREN. Just FUCK OFF.
Let's be honest here guys. Cummings is a silly name.
So is Odd Christian.
Wouldn't be surprised if MvdP still wins this stage desu
He will still be a fraud though
leader jerseys are bang ugly
isn't he sick though?
Pretty sure his win ratio will now be below 75% even if he wins this. Disgusting.
sure he is
Narvik is ugly as fuck. Thanks Germany
based ZAK
Maybe, but now I have to pay 6 euro to enjoy a westmalle.
Wtf is Barguil doing
Can you name one (1) thing that isn't expensive in Norway?
in the supermarket?
holy shit Chevrier has a punchable face
Yes, in pub it'll be like 12 euros
Nothing is not expensive, but alcohol is the worst
THOT PATROL
Diapers are subsidized and some of the cheapest in Europe.
Electronics in general are also quite cheap
Today Odd Christian will become Codd Christan :^)
jeez thats expensive
>Barguil
But you can make your own for cents.

Another day, another win for based Team Jumbo Visma
we just CANNOT STOP winning

Brutal loss for Arkea but they only have themselves to blame. Questionable activity over the last couple days with the race so close...
Barguil sprinting on the hoods like a Fred, sitting down before the line to.
Barguil BTFO
He looked gassed earlier already, I think he used everything he had just to hang on
Oh no, not that salmon jersey again.
CRINGE.
based lutsenko
based af take pics and post here
Barguil mad in the interview
Just move la
>Van der Poel lost the green jersey to Lutsenko by 3 points
nice GOAT you have there cyclo cross cucks
youtube.com
Kazakhstan winning a GT when?
Lutsenko already lost weight this year, if he can loose another 4-5g he might get a top 10 chance. But i think they target the Olympics with him next year and he should already be good enough with the current weight for the climb to sacrifice more explosiveness. Imo they used this years tour to test his programm for tokyo
>tfw enjoyed /TdF/ with spee bros but worried that my angry autistic countryman will make Vuelta threads toxic
you worry too much
Don't worry about it. This time you guys are sending based riders we rate like Carthy and Knox, and not these future asterisk merchants from the track/africa.
Who is more overrated: Van der Poel or Evenepoel?
Do they call him WaWa because he whines a lot?
>don't get on the one guys wheel that can beat you in GC
>get dropped in a sprint and lose
>whine
It was his own fucking mistake, should've been on Lutsenko's wheel.
Evenepoel is branded the next eddy mercx without winning anything relevant.
At least Van der Poel has showed to be the best in cyclo cross and Mountain bike this year
>Dumoulin mutually terminating with Sunweb this week
>the absolute state of barguil
It was totally his fault and even if it wasn't he hast not right to complain after fucking up Landa's tour.
Big if true, Jumbo about to become unstoppable.
And did well in the Spring classics, don't forget that
It's true, it's on Subwebs page now.

Quite a strong lineup desu
>Dumoulin
Ffs I want to see him and Roglic
COMPETING, not be on the same fucking team
Let's be real, UK Postal of course
Good team for Superman, if there's a GT he can win is this one, he better go all out.
Yes and also to prepare for the Worlds.
Here we go, good for Poomoulin.
>neither Izagirre has Twitter account
Based
>inb4 Jumbo-Visma adopts Movistar's "tactics"
they should've built strong domestique squad instead t b h
The only difference between Ineos and Movistar tactics is that Ineos rides for one person and doesn't tolerate their riders chomping out and riding for themselves. Half the Skytrain of previous years could have been legitimate GC contenders elsewhere, this year their doms were lacking but Bernal still took it home. Movistar has the talent to do the same but they miss the discipline. Jumbo Visma is most likely going after the Ineos model instead of Movistar.
There are three GTs though they don't need to go all in on the tour with a meme duo captain setup.
I don't think they are gonna have those problems, Poomoulin is clearly 1 tier above Kruijs and Roglic will rice the other tour depending on what Tom chooses.
>Friendship with Sunwebs Doping program ended
now Jumbo is my new best friend
i feel like they lack firepower for the flats will be Boaro, LLS + one hill specialist
There is no Vuelta's teams presentation this year? Can't find shit about it.
Nah, Roglic will win the Vuelta which will put him at the same level as Tom
roglic will choke again
also it's still not clear about prognosis of his recovery
this must be some fucked up injury if it takes him so long to heal
cope, if he had peaked a week later he'd have won that Giro without problems
if my father was eddy merckx i would be a pro rider
LOL
Wait, what information they base this article on?
He was untouchable in Romandie and the first 2 weeks of Giro
>skeleton faces death
>already recovering
>pooman get his knee scratched
>still dead
what is dead can never die

>Garin became a professional by chance. He planned to ride a race at Avesnes-sur-Helpes, 25 km from where he lived. He arrived to find it was only for professionals. Not allowed to compete, he waited until the riders had left, raced after them and passed them all. He fell off twice but finished ahead of the racers. The crowd was enthusiastic but the organisers less so. They refused to pay him the 150 francs (approx €525 at 2008 values)[10] due to the real winner, so spectators raised 300 francs (approx €1,050 at 2008 values)[10] among themselves. Garin became a professional.
Based Garin dabbing on the peloton
Yet 1 week of racing is a lot more than 3 week GT.
The first 2 weeks were all flats but those last 2 mountain stages were he hemorrhaged entire minutes from Carapaz.
yes, he peaked too early, last year at the tour he was the strongest in the 3rd week mountains
cope
It's like we're seeing a trend here, he's really strong over a week but can't last for an entire GT.
>Only one who could challenge Thomas last year in the 3rd week
youtube.com
status: patrolled
No idea why you're riding my dick so hard, he's the bookies' undisputed favorite, this will be only the 3rd gt he's ever ridden to win
I like Fuglsang more than him but I fear he may be cut from the same cloth as Richie Porte
>Fuglsang
I assure you Roglic will btfo this simp and Vino's colombian
he's just not a GT rider dont get why they meme him so much
should be a superdom/stagehunter in GT's imo
BASED. /ourguy/
He is though, he already has one podium in a gt and only lost his podium spot to froome in the tour on the last time trial
so what is it after all?

They also censored the comments to damage control when that tranny won the woman's WC.
