Chris Froome had a massive black arrow pointing to the Col de Soudet on the route profile stuck to his stem today. Not very stealthy.
>yfw Froome attacks before the horse category climb and keeps going in the greatest move in cycling history
CyclingQuotes’ stage winner pick: Chris Froome

40 strong meme break has 2.20 already.

Sky slaves must be cursing internally, what a day to have to chase.
do any of you have a webm from when he rammed that official when he was still riding for kenya
Aubisque is the perfect finish for Froome, he can get the red today.
Kelly's right, Sky fucked up big time by not sending Konig.
our boy meintjes is too anonymous to do anything of note 2bh

FROOME IS GONNA LOSE IT 100% THIS TIME AND HOW WILL YOU TEAM GB KEKS EVER RECOVER WHEN FROOME LOSES AND QUINTANA WINS THE TOUR GAHHAHA
...

The absolute madman
Rensburg lives!
Ok, something I never understood in cycling: the whole "team effort"
What is the added plus of other guys riding next to you? Why a team can "neutralize" a escape sending guys to chase a guy who breaks out? How can the sky and movistar guys help Froome and Quintana.
Shouldt a cyclist just ride really fast and thats it?
Plz no bully
if there's a reason to close the gap to a breakaway a team will go ride in front of the peleton and rotate riders around while setting the pace
I enjoy cycling lads
slipstreaming can take away 30% of the required effort, a group will always be significantly faster than a single rider, and a larger group will be faster than a smaller group. If a team in the peloton puts in the work, they could theoretically neutralize any breakway.
>Sporza airing Brussels Cycling Classic instead of Vuelta Queen Stage
You disappoint me, Belgium
you can watch without commentary
>that ultra comfy landscape
makes me a bit sad that im sitting here being hungover desu, its great weather outside here too
But based José is the reason I even watch Sporza
yeah it's kinda dumb since they're in spain and could commentate anyway
but I can't complain too much sporza gives free and good quality streams for a lot of stuff
tfw no tv, and cant stream sporza from the neverlands
euro landscapes are the only reason I watch this meme of a sport
Watching sport direkte streamed to tv, what is it and how far behind is 94k
sport itself is pretty good too man, nothing like watching men giving it their all riding a bicycle up a hill.
watching people die on steep climbs and cobbles is entertaining too
I like doing it myself, but it's not really compelling viewing in its own right Tbqh
Clever
>tfw no Pro Tour events in Gunma where riders drift on downhills under intensified eurobeat
>jesink
jesus fucking christ, kirby
I started loving it after doing it myself, you can just relate to the guys dying up the climbs and that makes it ultra comfy
its actually better to pronounce it like jesink than hesink like most english people would. If you cant pronounce the dutch hard g its better to say it as a j imo.
You now remember Rock Racing
Has Philip Gilbert done fucking anything ever since his UCI WC title?
yep, same here.
Green bar tape is absolutely disgusting
>you cant pronounce the dutch hard g its better to say it as a j imo.
Is it not like the German 'ch'?
will rolf ever stop sucking contadors dick
amstel gold
belgian championship
english people cant do that either. Best for them to do it is to pronounce the g like in guess
guessink
rolf er ren din bavian
Pretty shit resume for a rider consistently heralded as a top world contender 2bh
mate, are you aware that the world championship wasn't his first win?
One of the most obvious cases of a doper who stopped using
Of course; it's the fact that he has been ubiquitously heralded as a top 1 or 2% pro rider thereafter despite having been mediocre for the past five years, even with a top team in BMC around him for support, that I cannot understand
possibly this
>turn on tv
>breakaway of 39
What?
that's because he was top tier in 2011
he mainly focussed on ardennes classics but valverde started destroying him
GC contenders don't care about stage wins anymore
#AgainstModernCycling
this
he was pretty much the best cyclist in the world in 2011
God, it's true though.
>Kirby's pronunciation of Fraile
That can't be right, can it?
scenery looks like it's Austria
I have a 4.51 W/Kg ratio, how much longer until I get sponsored for free cycling apparel and products?
At what, threshold? 1min? 5min?
You'll get noticed when you start doing well in races m8
>that stem
>vuelta in charge of keeping time
Dani Moreno (mov) is the virtual leader at this moment
the gap is now TWO HOURS!!!!
the sky bots will start closing soon enough
they found a short cut
Actually it's 4.87 for a 20 minute outdoor FTP test (after the -5% correction of course), the 4.51 was a recent indoor test which was pretty awful since it was both impromptu and in a hot room
Also I'm not slamming that shit, my scoliosis would become too cumbersome
Haha good luck with that
He is talking about our alpha Belgian boy, Vervaeke.
Right?
he's like 2 hours behind user
The Brits are again complaining that they don't have a top-tier classics rider.
>Rekt at the Olympic mountain road race by a classics rider.
Oh that feeling...
>they don't have a top-tier classics rider
A classics rider is just someone not good enough to win a GC
the fuck are you babbling about?
>A classics rider is just someone not doped enough to win a GC.
Fixed it for you.
>A Classics rider is just someone who isn't the leader of one of the top 3 wealthiest teams.
Let me get that for you.
excluding katusha
To buy and experiment with doping, yes usa, we know your tricks.
What is the strategy of Orica?
Quintana has added his voice to the call for banning power meters in the peloton.
Froome responds with "then we might as well be riding single-speeds".
Agree?
quintana is a whiny bitch
>Quintana has added his voice for the call for banning Spooky British skeletons in the peloton.
Agree. He can still hide his motor in a single-speed bike.
