Wyatt Evans

Brody King
Uphill starts like this are the ones that often create epic stages.
TJVG to win.
Adrian Peterson

Samuel Gonzalez

Connor Reyes
I only watch women's cycling tbf
William Thompson
Last tour yates ended 50th. Now he's going to end up on th podium. Really makes you think

Jordan Cook
Don't cut yourself on that greenEDGE m8

Robert Martin
RAIN IN 5
Lucas Green
So who'll be able to beat Froome next year? Contador: he's getting older and doesn't have the team. Quintana: has the climbing ability, but lacks the other key abilities. Aru: too inconsistent. Nibali: hasn't proven to be able to climb against peak Froome. Pinot: >pinot
Michael Kelly
porte and quintana the only possibles
Landon Ross
Mollema Demoulin Porte Yates TGVG
ehh
Jaxon Walker
What about Yates if he gets a strong team?
Blake Moore
TJVG
Noah Robinson
G'day lads, Sagan not in the break today, holding off the peloton for Majka.
Ethan Rogers
time trials will always hurt him.
some classic hilly stages, mountain time trials, and you never know.
Chase Martinez
>What about Yates if he gets a strong team? He doesn't have the base yet. One or two more years and he'll go well.
No more excuses.
Caleb Wright
NME!
Brody Myers
Yates
Lucas Morgan
Fellow Dannebrogs i am watching your Danish TV2s, very comfy. Any tips for a Norwegian?
Christian Evans
so is Sagan really going to #BoraArgon18 or is it all just a meme
Elijah Lewis
It's true. Oleg confirmed it. They're moving up to world tour.
David Hernandez
All reports suggest he's going.
Juan Wilson
VINOKOUROV
Henry Green
>Sagan in a german team >Tour of Germany confirmed by ASO in 2018
The german cycling empire is on the rise
Jack Gray
stupid question:
is 2agan has decent domestiques can he actually challenge for GC?
(i know oleg said sagan's probably moving to bora; so its purely hypothetical)
Juan Hughes
Based!
>Mfw they wrote his name wrong though
William Green
Nibali is hitting peak form. He's going to be unbeatable in Rio.
Jeremiah Jones
Only if they get rid of all high mountains and long time trials.
Joshua Cook
>I'm actually rooting for Astana
Never thought I'd see the day
Tyler Nguyen
Trust me, Froome crashes out today.
Cap this post and don't forget to reply to it in 3 hours.
Ayden Garcia
Does anybody ITT give a shit about the Rio Olympics?
I'll be watching the Road Race and TT with interest but the track stuff will only be watched if I literally have nothing better to do.
Josiah Thomas
>long time trials. Eh. He'd be better than Quintana if he gave them 100℅ effort.
Elijah Reed
this is strange, even for the tour de france
Asher Wood
>implying he will beat Poels
Gabriel Sanders
>Mfw was an Astanafag for years thanks to Vino
Though yeah, it hasn't been the same after he retired. Still think they have the best looking uniforms.
Brody Ortiz
Why would I cap it if the thread isn't going anywhere?
Jordan Bennett
I will watch everything.
Team pursuit is going to be FIRE
Hudson Wood
Nibali peak would shit on Poles.
Logan King
I will watch any event I can, excluding handball. Don't particularly care about the road race or tt to be honest.
Justin Cook
Will watch everyting too fucking comfy
Michael Cooper
ASTANA S T A N A
astana and movistar pacing together, sky btfo
Ayden Jenkins
no mate, i don't like sport
Blake Perry
dream scenario on todays etappe? Porte rocketing for a win for me and froome collapsing
Logan Miller
M8, I like Nibali as much as the next guy, but truth be told he's still feeling the effects of the Giro. Not to mention he seems to have passed his peak.
Nicholas Butler
Whats the appeal of actually going to watch a stage live? I can see it if its right in front of your house, but travelling to see the riders for a few seconds and miss everything else?
Gavin Campbell
My girlfriend's asshole stinks like hehe
They are simply inferior.
Take the redpill sheeple
Justin Wright
Pretty much the same. Will also watch the MTB race if they show it since Sagan will be in it.
Elijah Martin
the olympics are a 4-year event that sees the best athletes in the world compete and puts sports that otherwise don't get much attention in the limelight
I will definitely try to watch as many events as possible. unfortunately we don't have a chance in hell of winning the men's road cycling event as those 4 climbs are far too steep for any of our riders
Asher Carter
>no stage winner from spain, france or italy yet
Noah Adams
Bauke getting over 3 minutes on Froome
A man can dream
Another Pantano stage win would be neat too, really enjoyed him this tour
Hudson Young
I'll watch the track stuff if that thick australian is still here
Colton Walker
acestream pls
Xavier Taylor
Tripdubs confirm
Levi Young
finally we see his true form
Camden Torres
3's too
It's happening
Benjamin Hernandez
the experience. the spectacle. the atmosphere. the nice day out.
Cameron Myers
See But the key thing is to not go for the stage watch alone: find a comfy spot in the fields/nature or if it's in a city spend some time sightseeing or whatever.
Blake Scott
Olympics is shit tier filled with literal non-sport so "big nations" can rack in a shitload of useless medals >golf >Inb4 butthurt, Hungary is one of the most successful olympic sporting nation
Xavier Nelson
nobody else thinks canoeing is a sport, hungary
Colton Stewart
worst thing is the 5 million different swimming events.
Jack Gomez
this tb h
Michael Gray
The worst thing about the Olympics is listening to casuals pretending they know anything about sport
Brayden King
The Olympics are nothing more than a glorified cock boasting event between nations. That said though, never really bothered me personally. Am simply not interested.
Gabriel Allen
I think most people put it on their calendar if they're in the area anyway.
Imagine you're in France camping with your wife and your wife's son for three weeks and you see that the Tour de France is passing near your area, you'd probably go out and watch it to experience it. The true die hards on the other hand, they probably have a tv in their camper to follow the race while they're roadside
Anthony Nelson
Posting comfy pics
Jose Ortiz
That, and they move spots with the peloton following it throughout the tour. Also it's not only a tiny TV in the camper van. At points, the organizers set up large screens showing it as well. Albeit that's in more urban areas.
