Detail of the summit finish
>21%
>TdF
>not having grade climbs bigger than 15%
kek, the vuelta is fucking relentless this year
Why would you even bother as a sprinter to be tortured for 3 weeks just maybe to get a cheeky win in Madrid
Downhills serve for something
No fucking chance of the points jersey either for a sprinter
just got back from the morning ride, hyped for la buelta.
if any sprinter survive it will be an easy victory in madrid
Sprinters are waiting for World Championship at Doha
Imagine being a sprinter and crashing in a mass sprint in Madrid after all the grupetto suffering
>tfw no Tour of Russia
Can anyone actually hate Sagan or Quintana?
Tejay "NME" Van Garderen has abandoned.
Random reminder that cycling is a sport for cucks and eunuchs.
TdF quintana is easy to hate
I can't hate any rider desu, I respect their suffering far too much for that
he was sick during the Pyrenees m8
...
pls no bully Hämäläinenenkonenaneko
But Sagan apparently is lazy to be a proper climber and turn himself as GC contender
Daily reminder it's all fun and memes until switzerland (negros) come to ruin the thread.
Sagan is far too good at what he does to become a GC contender. I am tired of this meme, Sagan needs to remain le green jersey man + dominate the classics
i dont think he can mantain power at 65 kg
It wasn't a problem for Indurain

Considering it's a summit finish, have you paid your respects to the Spanish Civil Guard yet?
>comfy medium mountain finish
>21%
The Spanish truly have no mercy.
At least this turns the Froome-Quintana rivalry up to 11.
you cant overdose on epo anymore
they should be on TdF
fuck this heat
>tfw summer starts at the end of august now
AGW is terrifying m7
Global warming lad, it's going to ruin us all in a few decades
in 20 years we all live in pic related, better start building
what about holand?
We just need our own Delta works. Sadly we can't get things done the way our Dutch friends can
Only dry land on earth tb.h
holland will be completely wiped out because of the increasing sea level in the next century, they will use their sailboats to go out and colonise a new world

>sound comes back
>cut to ads instantly
Yes. By the strongest i mean like if you see him in the streets you know you shouldnt fight him. Not the skinny type like Quintana.

With the Yates brothers and Chaves OBE have to win a Grand Tour in the next 2 years don't you agree
>espn guy going on a rant about olive oil prices and climate changes
>2016

It is cycling, m8. 25% competition; 75% documentary
Definitely. Chaves and the Yates bros with a few more climbers and some strong guys who can pull on flats makes for a formidable GC team. I just want to see them put all three into one GT team. Either Giro or Vuelta at first to get that GT win. Next Giro however might not be the best one to try as it's the 100th edition special and probably has quite a few teams that are on stronger than usual teams for Giro.
Proper commentary, then. I hate it when they try and fill the dead time with serious talk.
was that photographer using a fucking flash
too dark m8
Have you ever noticed how every cycling photograph you ever see is taken by Tim De Waele?
They should distribute photos to spectators for free, and then anyone on the tarmac with a photo device without a permit should be hanged by the neck until dead.
Do we already know where Mathias Frank is going after IAM ceases to exist? I consider him one of our guys
