/cyc/ - Giro di Lombardia

Its the final race of the season lads, and its usually a good one. Its the same route as in 2015 where madman Nibali won with that crazy descent.

Get ready for some ultra comfy scenery and probably some racing as well.

muro di surmano looks spicy.

>using pedals

It begins

anywy the muro should be fun, short but really fucking steep

Apparently the broadcast has started on the eurosport player. Is there a stream?

It's in frnch, not sure it works for foreigners

Thanks frog, works fine with VPN. Just in time for a roglic attack. Lovely.

I really really really want to live here

[comfyness intensifies]

>tfw haven't cycled in a month because of shitty dutch weather

nigga what the fuck are you on about? Ive been riding on my mtb or roadbike almost every day after work for the past weeks. And long rides on sundays. Weather has been fine, itll get much worse soon with it getting colder and darker.

most of the tiny towns in the hills above the lake are rapidly declining in popoultion
if you wanna live here you can

god french sounds absolutely disgusting. When is eurosport coverage starting?

3 mins i think

fuck froome
fuck sky
fuck all brits

Here we go lads, its getting steep now

happening

wew it's like they're cycling in tar

Any english streams?

Tiz is in fucking spanish

Surmano is GOAT

oh shit that fall

WHAT THE FUCK

de plus dead?

RIP

Lel top descending

fuck
at least the drop after the guard rail wan't too high

Fuck I missed the crash

For me, it's 2015's Nibali

...

the descents in the Lombardia are where madmen are made
steep, narrow and full of sharp as fuck turns

...

And I'm free, free falling (pls be okay)

>It's another a Belgian has a massive crash episode

Annemiek's was still worse.

It's difficult to assess the damage from that. The impact itself isn't that bad, it all comes down to how far the drop is. Hope he is ok.

>implying the dutch don't crash far worse than the belgians

but in fairness, we're both shitty descenders thanks to our flatlands

I hope Gilbert wins, I like him.

there was some aerial camera shots of ambulances on the spot
it's difficult to assess depth from that shot but it seemed pretty safe and with grass on the bottom, not rocks or concrete

Maybe it's because there's basically no Americans in the peloton, but I don't really care who wins as long as the racing is exciting. On the upside, I'm rarely disappointed.

He is alive

De Plus injuries are seemingly not serious, just bruises and cuts
it's now okay to laugh about his crash

Roger that.

Hoping for a cheeky Nairo Quintana win

How the fuck do cyclists fall of 20 ft+ ledges and come out relatively unscathed, happened with Frank Schleck and Joaquim Rodriguez

Hes looking strong, but I doubt he can come to finish by himself. He wont win a sprint.

youngsters on the attack!

>Moscon

reeeeeeeeeee

Going to stop watching cycling if that racist starts winning regularly

That's not JRod iirc
He just posted it, it's not actually him.

Light weight. They achieve a relatively slow terminal velocity.

Gianni 'Take No Mularkey from Darkies' Moscon

>hating based moscon

He's italian, he can say it.

>Pinot

ALLEZ PINO

Holy shit, is that Bernal in the front group?

NIBBLES

ALLEZ THIBAUT

For me, the Uran Uran renaissance is one of the best things this season

Pinot is shit in descent

*nibbles*

>Pinot is shit in descent
also ascents
also flats
also breakaways

Where's the other group?

>my face when pinot tries to follow nibali during the descent

with no team whatsoever

that mountain stage TdF win stuck on 53/11 will be one of the most legendary Grand Tour wins in recent memory

These roads are crazy
Let's just build a flight of stairs that end right in the middle of the street lol

I fucking love nibali, the absolute madman

Excuse yourself TJ

>its a downhill battle episode

sagan would win this easy lmao

Welp

it's ogre for Pinot

PINOT DROPPED

>pinot

Is this the same descent as in 2015?

50 MPH BUNNY HOPS

yeah exact same
Civiglio-Ponzate-Camnago

>motos in front of Nibali
>motos behind Pinot
Never change Italy

Says the frog who designed this years TDF fully around their own main contender.

>already making excuses

>tfw they're in my city right now
>i could be watching them but i'm right here cozy at my pc

>letting Nibali get away over the top of the exact same hill he did in 2015

They are not even trying.

I'd be right there on the road but I guess its different when the race comes so close every year

i'm just not interested in cyclism, i just wanted to see if the tour of lombardy is that important to have a thread on Sup Forums

a fellow lagheèfag?
fucking nice

my nigguh

Is life there as comfy as I imagine it is?

egan bernal is fukken sikk

the place where they are now, San Fermo is where i do my red cross service
it's a little hamlet outside of the city, that looks down on the lake, so yeah it's pretty damn comfy

BASED NIBBLES

i commute to Milan every morning so not really comfy, but i still would never want to move

living the dream
