thank mr skeltal

Reminder Sagan did NOTHING wrong

First for Marion

Have fun

This thread is more comfy anyway.

delete this

4D chess

MOLLEMA 17 seconds!

Where has fatancur gone?

what's the scar from.

Removed some bones and organs to save weight

cardiovascular doping probe

ps last post in this thread

Mechanical heart implant.

Mollema is going to kill everyone on the Mont du Chat.

legal with therapeutic use exemptions i'm sure

ALL THE POSTS VANISHED

...

all in for Bardet and Emu Buchmann

The option for today

Imagine being Demare right now. I could probably beat him on the next climb

Can anything stop the Sky train (even with Thomas gone)?

Fought off an entire tribe trying to steal his bike as a child.

Would be funny if someone beats Matthews in the sprint.

we shall see

praying for Bardet

is buchmann in the gc group?

Maybe he is sick or something. He need to watch out for the time limit.

Nope. Landa, Kwiatkowski, Hinau and Nieve would all be contenders if Vroom didn't participate.

He is sick. He started the stage with a medicine bottle in his back pocket

...

Anything interesting happen? I just came from the F1.

yep

he had to drop back to support majka whe he crashed, but bora decided to abandon him, and now he is back

grats matthews, mightily impressive 2bh

Green jersey could be a good contest if Demare doesn't die today

>you will never live in these comfy little french towns

Thomas retired after falling on the descent

phew good I was worried there for a moment. Been a big fan of him ever since last years tour where he was getting interviewed by german tv after every stage and always seemed very nervous about it. For some reason I like him a lot because of that.

G Thomas dead. Abondoned.
Contador crashed twice but is still going.
Majka bad crash. Think he is still going.

AG2R BTFO of the race. Massive climb incoming

Geraint Thomas is kill

>that feel
Hate it

with yates loking in trouble earlier he might have a realistic shot at white jersey now, especially if majka gets shrekt and he doesn't have support duties anymore

Landa yes
Kwiat no
Hinao no
Nieve no

...

Froome is still going to win the GC right?

Oh WTF - it's *coffein* shampoo?! I've been thinking it's caffeine shampoo for years now.

i live in a comfy italian town the Giro (and the Lombardia) passes by quite often
close enough

Bakelants and Gallopin with cheeky attack.

Assume GC guys will catch the break anyway

Poels yes

almost certainly yes but there's still a lot that could happen in this stage

Nairo Quintana will win

Here we go lads

Yes, but we have to pretend he wont to keep the hype going.

>that Jersey flag

Nice

wew lads

this last climb is fucking brutal, holy shit

they have like 10km's of 5% before they official start it, and theres 10% all the way to the top

Is het tijd?

u wot m8?

I did and will do again

Nieve has tried riding GC and he was meh.

It's amazing isn't it, what British Cycling and Sky have done, in the past 5/6 years we have gone from no winners to just total domination of the TDF and wider sport of cycling.

some might call that quite suspicious

With Sky technology™ anyone can be a winner

marignal gains.

>this frightens the dutch
Do you even have a word for "mountain"?

Some people don't know the meaning of legitimate sports science and

mate they ruined the Tour, everything is the same now. I get that it's cool if you like them but it's objectively shit now.

Without Sky the Giro was great this year, everything could happen. That's not a coincidence

Kanker.

Anyone got more pics of cyclists looking like literal concentration camp survivors?

...

That's a bit too general though

Well then it's up to other teams to step up r&d spending then isn't it?

No it's other teams that ruined it because they are shit in comparison.
Can't fault a team for winning.

marginal EPO dosing

also those convenient doctor's note

>t. butthurt frogs whose teams didn't spend as much money or utilise every corner of the rules

NIGGA CAN U FEEEEEEEL IT??

>meh at barloworld
>GOATS at sky
if only Augustyn hadn't had that heart problem. He could have dominated..

but that's not interesting. This sport isn't fucking F1

...

We even have a mountain :^)

Why do brits always ruin everything with their monies

>racing&doping

We even have a volcano

Thanks for the idea, Australia.

>wout poels on multimullion dollar cycling team
>can only afford IKEA

>rage&denial

Literally Fuglkang, Aru and Lutsenko on stage 13.

>the highest point in the netherlands isn't even completely dutch
pottery

the furthest inland point of the country, nice

Imagine how crazy this stage would be if Sky wasn't setting the pace like autists and making it as boring as possible

Name one point in the sports history that hasn't had teams looking for every possible technological advantage possible.
