Road cycling is for faggots
Track cycling is for real niggas
>IRAN
More like Iran into a wall.
What countries are competing in this event?
So do we have any idea how this is going yet? I'm flicking between the sports and this doesn't seem to have really got going
Everybody getting BTFO by cobblestones.
Fucking casual
PAHTOEY
FACKEN BULLSHAT
this has been the biggest joke event

Why Americans are always talking about sports they don't know shit about?
guys if you need cars full of mechanics trailing along your race because everyone constantly needs to fix their broken ass bike, the event or the course is fucking flawed
this isn't auto racing where the ability of your pit crew is relevant to your overall success, it should be about who can bike through the course fastest, not about how lucky you get with repairs and the ability of the neutral mechanic to fix your shit as fast as possible
>never watched cycling in his life
Please just fucking leave
>Using the car to slip stream
Why is this sport full of cheaters.
cheating scum
I've watched it before, it's fucking retarded. The real athletes are the fucking four neutral dudes in the mechanics car, their ability directly impacts the results more than most of the actual riders.
>all these cars
I thought this was a bike race wtf
>Russian cyclist in the lead pack
What the fuck is happening here.
>underated
You're a moron
You could indeed criticise today's race for allowing drafting and sticky bottles. They've clamped down on that a lot in the Tour and yet they're openly allowing it here.
But you're saying get rid of cars and spare bikes to fix mechanicals, which is why you're a fucking moron.
No all I'm saying is the course should be paved road instead of cobblestone paths which just serves to ruin bikes and cause mechanical problems. Then you wouldn't need so many fixes.
this. he's right you are a fucking moron yank
is this route cherry picked for good television shots?
why aren't they riding up hill in some favelas
you are stupid beyond belief
Please answer this question, what fucking purpose does it serve, in a sport where it's supposed to be about who is best at riding a bike, to have entire sections of the race path to be so fucking damaging to the bikes that dozens of people have to pull over for repairs constantly? How does that help determine who is better at riding a bike? Might as well put land mines and deadfall traps every few miles at this point.
Because riding over cobbles is also a skill, only noobs get bike broken. Duh
my answer is kill yourself, you are too stupid to give an answer to or you are just a troll. idiot.
>Inferior nations so scared of Big Dan Martin that they have to try and sabotage him.
Can't stop us, you sub humans, we're taking it.
shut up, mate
Are we still in the competition or did our guys fall behind?
Obviously not or we would've put every German on trial in 1945.
Time for Joa!
>tfw i hit another car there once because of the inclination
>the dutch
>BBC commentators won't stop talking about monkeys
Stevo whaaaaat
>this is the first circuit
Only going to be about 10 riders left at the finish
>Cummings ded
The Lord of Bones claims another victim
GUNSHOT?
This is the first cycling event I've ever sat down and watched properly.
Holy shit I can understand why the sport is/was riddled with PED's. How are these fuckers still alive?
Question. Why is outright cheating seemingly okay? Moreover, why does it seem to be the culture is cycling that cheating is accepted? Why are most professional cyclists outright twats?
all hail
Blast at the finish line apparently!!!!!! GET IN HERE
>that distinctive Froome style
The head bobbing like he's a waining heroine addict? Ah yes
post you're bikes
>we fuck up again
It's becoming our main quality it seems.
>sitting down
>sports
...
Russian first? Lol. How?
>sitting in car driving
>sport
Transcended no gf
Some commentator made a prediction before this all started that from the 144 there would be only 30 crossing the finish line. Only the brave will deserve this medal.
I've got a basic Giant Propel
Cost about £3k
What happened lads, apparently GB is getting wrecked?
Rest in pieces sweet Eddy
>fixie cunt
Why
>pedalton
LOL
Its nice and f_n for daily use
So rowing isn't a sport?
Kwiatkowski making a comeback or Russian dropping back?
hi to /r/Sup Forums
some aesthetics for yall
This a real sport, not fucking archery, table tennis or shooting
This is so much better than flat lolcavwins London race in 2012
Are you a liberal by any chance? I can't imagine anyone other than a liberal riding a fixie.
Also is that a Garmin on the handlebars? Why the fuck would you need that on a fixie?
And how much did that cost? Dolans are expensive right? I'm guessing £1,000 or thereabouts?
Brazil has hundreds of millions of people
Why are all the venues empty? They were all packed at London 2012
Except he didn't win
but cavenshit didn't win, best part of the olympics
the country is huge af
>70% of the peloton gone

The arrangers are not as strict as the tour w.r.t hanging on cars.
PEDS are "more rampant" because cycling has BY FAR the best testing in all of sports, if any other sport had the same testing regime it would find at least as many cases of doping.
Brazilians like football, not sports
t. brazilian
We decent now.
What do you suggest? That we acquire a mountain for a race?
>inb4 Uran second again

I honestly don't blame them for using PED's, I really don't. Holy shit this looks like hell.
...
I don't think that's too much to ask
Rio is its largest city, over 16 mil in the state
Not a good excuse
It should only be given to places where they can actually sell all the tickets
There were waiting lists for any leftover tickets for London ffs
Yet even in the LdB none of the teams fill their stadiums
I think any elite athlete who wants to win in a sport where there is a good sum of money at stake will have to use PEDS. If you don't you cannot compete and they already have dedicated their lives to it so why not?
The original form of doping, blood doping is still undetectable in small doses. I think it should be allowed DESU
Too expensive for the locals
I ride 80 km per day and I like muh stats, Dolans are pretty good values bikes at about £500 for a decent track bike
Never knew Rio had such Top-tier touge.
Might go there someday to do some runs.
>yfw all-britain podium
>They have to climb that hill two more times.
Sweet Jesus.
brazilians also like to go when their footy team is good. Not the type to go in the good and in the bad seasons.
I'm pretty sure we are struggling here but I don't know much about cycling
>Rio is its largest city, over 16 mil in the state
HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA
