/cyc/ Giro of Italia: Stage 1 edition

Welcome back lads! Predictions for the Giro?

How much Nibbling will Nibbles do?
Which "special bottle" has he bought this time?
How many days of romantic mountain stage picnics will Greipel and Kittel have before dropping out?
Has there been any new John West?

Only time will tell.
(p.s. has anyone been keeping up with dunkirk? stage one was meme teir)

>tfw you'll never pick up girls

Anyone else /onthescene/?

based

One squirt of water into the tunnel and that first corner is fucked. /Slippy/

feels bad, la.

Neat. You enjoying that pink beer? (assuming you're the guy from yesterday)

>""Giro"" d'""Italia""
>doesn't start in Italy
>isn't a full round trip

No, first time in a cycling thread.
I'm here with my gf's dad who thinks I enjoy it, but I don't really. I was just trying to impress him

I'm in too deep lads

well you better learn to enjoy it then.

allez Tom
greet your gf from me and ask who her dad supports

Eeep none of the big name dutchmen are in this race so I don't think I can help you fake it.

First (and last) for HESJEDAL

It can happen again.

how do I go about winning or otherwise acquiring high-end cycling things for free?

Be black in America.

Bike thieves are going to a very awful place in hell.

>tfw Fabian was sick 2 days ago and still made the start

post >yfw he cucks Dumoulin

Isn't that Tom DuMoulin guy a big name? That's about all I know

yeah, look for #151. he doesn't start for two and a half bongs tho

Kruijswijk is sort of a black horse to do well overall but Dumoulin is aiming to win the time trials such as this stage

I wish I wasn't at work. I want to watch. At least I'll get to see stage 2 and 3 this weekend.

No sound on the Eurosport youtube stream anymore?

nvm, he's in one and a half bongs. sorry for misinformation

cyclinghub one works fine

>covering 10km in 11 min

still amazes me

The SBS stream went quiet for a while too. It was the (local) commentary as well as the upstream stuff though so I don't know.

Works fine for me.

F5'd it it's OK now ty, but going riding myself soon anyway =)

Vegans btfo. Lost everything in the 2nd half.

pls be in Graz

We already had that yesterday?
Also not doing group rides unless you're f d2f with a certain W/kg.

Was hoping for better from Bobridge desu. There's a lot of race to go though so hopefully he'll get better as he gets into it.

Guys, how come lotto NL yumbo get to wear yellow?

How come Lampre-Merida get to wear pink?

>tfw you really want to buy a pink rapha kit but can't bring yourself to do it

I don't like these hats they wear on the podiums. Bring back cycling caps.

Lads, I really want cycling race with agro music and place names I can't pronounce. Wat do?

plen here, whatever happened to the much-hyped disc brake revolution for road bikes?

some dude almost lost a leg so they banned them

stopped
UCI re-banned them as some riders claim to have been injured by them.
no prove that their wounds were caused by disc brakes though.

One person got a cut in Paris Roubaix and wrote a blog about muh feels and the UCI temporarily banned them again, but they might not ban them for good again, and they might make everyone put round edges on their disk brakes.

pic:maybe its a sign

>when the alpecin kicks in

>Giro d'Italia
>starts in Holland
>not a round trip
Was it always like this? I haven't watched it since Pantani retired.

They're probably a bit slower than you remember

m8 what

I honestly hope they don't start using disk brakes on road bikes.

Be a fucking man ffs.

>Team Sky
>Race out tunnel
>Fall off on corner

Waiting for meme magic

Why is this thread so dead?

not much happening so far. Just a TT after all.
But fuck I am excited for this Giro. Always the best GT of the year.

Maybe this year it can marginally gain it's way to stage 14, with less than a half hour gap

heh

Not bad for Nibali

THE BEST

BASED TWO MINUTE BOYZ

TOM TOM TOM TOM TOM

also quick remider that rogic only became a pro cyclist this january after being a ski jumper before

confirmed TTs are shit..... so hyped for real racing

>2. Roglic - ST

poor guy

Even though it happened EXACTLY how some riders were warning that it would when he sliced his leg up.

>1. Dumoulin 11'03"

Problem Roglic?

>costs 575.000 USD

get the fuck outta here

>Neat. You enjoying that pink beer? (assuming you're the guy from yesterday)
That was me. I'll be there tomorrow, holding up my pink beer, should the camera catch it. Today, instead of watching the TT, I've done 6,5 hours of cycling (and some walking on the beach) myself.

>As if you're going to read this almost 7 hours after your post.

what race kilometer are you at? so we can be ready

Just before the 140th km (out of 190)

will be ready
