Good afternoon

save us cadel

did you just wake up, you lazy sod?

There is no saving Belgium. This is what you get for being a non-country.

Literally the highlight of this year's Vuelta so far.

hahahahaha my fuccking sides

based tejay giving no excuses

TJVG said from the beginning he was going for stages. That Kirby is a fucking moron who doesn't bother to follow cycling except when he's being paid to talk about it, is not Tejay's fault.

>not drawing benis in bagina on the road

Inb4 they have to climb Kilimanjaro in the finish

we should all meet in the alps next year, and make out and stuff

Final climbing from Santa Cruz de La Sierra to El Alto

Just got back from my ride haha

77km to go?? I swear there were 79km to go about an hour ago.

You sure you weren't watching the highlights from yesterday?

Tour de l'Avenir with its first uphill finish today,

it just felt like an hour

Portuguese time trial mode engaged

someone got a musette
they THREW IT ON THE GROUND
apparently

What a terrible waste of food...

It's during fucking stages like this that I wonder how feasible it would be to surgically implant motors into riders knees or legs or something. Until someone lifted the lid on the practice, it wouldn't show up in any tests. I guess afterwards, they'd do x-rays and MRI scans but up to then, some bionic cyclist could totally dominate.

They test for heat signatures. Which is really easy and quick to do.

What's that test for? Or is it general physiology benchmarks?

They just point a heat camera at the rider and if there's some unexplained heat anywhere you're caught. Any motor generates heat, so it's almost impossible to get away with it.

Can he do it?

It's too much of a distance i think.

based thomas

Who do you think smells worse, de Gendt or ten Dam?

Probably Ten Dam when he starts drooling and shit.

>go for mtb ride with no mountains
>come back home

don't do this tejay

...

yeah this has been SO good

Postnord Danmark Rundt > Vuelta

At least post Lemond

Vuelta has been more entertaining than the Giro and TdF for the past 4 years

Lemond doesn't have a record 7 wins

tru, tired big dawgs vs eager yung bois in GC, and no on dimensional sprinters so sprints are more exiting too.

>He didn't see stage 12

Does this years Vuelta have a stage that ends on an F1 track?

I only remember that happening in one of the middle east races, but who knows.

moto almost kills astana rider with mechanical

you tried machado, hope you can get a nice contract out of this

Oh Jewess, how we've missed you.

They should make some of these flat stages mostly dirt/gravel to make them interesting

Dude this years Giro was GOAT

Neither does Lance Armstrong lol

I was thinking about this

Not an F1 track though it has done Moto GP

What is it about those fucking adverts that beg for a mute button? The one during the Euros was also terrible.

...

Does anyone else just really not like Gerrans?

he mostly just wins from reduced groups and sprints, and doesnt really do work in either. He just rarely feels "deserving" of a win. But he does just play with this strengths, so its hard to really hate him either. Although him breaking his collarbone 25 times this year, I wouldn't mind him getting a stage win.

I'm not sure why I dislike, as people say similar criticisms about Valverde (waiting and sprinting for the win instead of working) and he is one of my favorites.

I think maybe its that most of the time Gerrans is nowhere to be seen, except for the few times a year when he wins. Valverde is almost always in the picture. Also Gerrans doesn't seem to ever do much work for anyone else on the team.

he has done a lot of work, but you are also right on Valverde. The absolute madman is in the fight for victory all year.

That aerial shot was very satisfying.
