DESU I'd prefer cycling tours that are just one long route but whatever what do I know

we usually have threads for the stages, theres no general though.
but then you will get long, boring flat stages to get from one meme mountain to the next. Its better this way.

canary islands stage when?

Hello lads, been out of touch with cycling this year, who are the favorites?

...

>no /cyc/ in the title

it is because I am new, it won't happen again user

>about to go out for a ride, nice and sunny weather all day says the forecast.
>suddenly it starts fucking pouring

goddamnit. Its only a small cloud and seems to be the only one around but now everything is wet and filthy.

first time i've watched la vuelta lads what am i in for? which stages are the most important? aside from time trial obviously

meme mountain stages, of which there are a lot. You will be enjoying this much more than the Tour.

fuck froome
fuck sky
fuck all brits

enjoy the terrible basque spectators and climb with part at more than 20%

Germany no! Cycling threads are supposed to be comfy.

Apparently there will be some powerful crosswinds today, it might get spicy. I always get hype for crosswinds and 90% of the times nothing happens, but a man can hope.

VaE needs more basque and locombian spectators

SEETHING

....so is this the thread for today?

>using pedals

A soundtrack for /cyc/

Hope it will be like the 3rd stage in the 2010 Giro in Holland, echolons and crashes everywhere

Also poor choice of OP image tbqh. Can we use actual cycling photos from now on? ok thanks

Dare I say it. the nicest jersey in the peloton?

Let's forgive OP because he's new.

yeah but the usual image is just a boring route profile. we can do better than that

Good morning

That sonic tailwind for the finish.

>Béziers

Wining with Trentin

Winds make races good no matter the direction.
>sidewinds, nice, we'll have some crashes
>forward winds, nice, they are going to go fast
>head on winds, nice, they will get tired

vuelta already sucks

>tfw patrician

thank you very much, thanks

>it is software

This wind forcast better be real, I don't wanna watch this shit the whole day if nothing happens

half of the peloton is stagiaires the other half is people who got injured in the spring

>Not riding an old Peugeot with the gears on the frame

>tfw my dad used to have one of these but sold it when I was a kid

Geniez pushed the car with his hand

Los crosso windes

there will be one more section with cross wind and then from 50 km to go it should be either headwind then buttwind.

Vuelta is always the most ded tour.

None of the team have the balls to do it

But also the most comfy. Also there's football on now as well.

>Go to commercial break
>Crash

Crash

HABBENIN

God Eurosport is shit compared to itv4

where would you rank merida?

>does not know about America Routes

When's the bongistan tour?

i just ate the best eggs.

riding when it's wet but not raining is the worst. i kind of enjoy the 'challenge' of riding WHEN it's raining, but I'd never set out in it I guess

Enjoy your fipronil poisoning

I ride a Bianchi and now I feel obliged to buy only kit in Celeste


it's killing me quite frankly

Hahaha, it's a train

i ate danish eco eggs.

>train crossing
Ayy

tut tut..

>boring
>crash Moreno and El Abdia
>El Abdia out
>everyone stop because train

Nice ride m8. I went for a slightly shorter ride earlier today and absolutely gutted myself for a KOM.

wew, is that power measured or estimated? 10 minutes at 400watts is crazy desu.

Cort is a domestique

nope

anyone know why the fucking sbs stream isn't working???

Estimated as I don't have a power meter yet. Going to buy one for the next season.

you tell me mate
was wondering about that it just stopped over here too
I suspect they put the cutoff time too early or something retarded

I miss the ad-free tdf stream desu

no Focus, reconsider

>Bianchi
the plebbest bike there is. babby's first italian bike.

finally...

>based Sky saving this shit stage
