The Pro Road Cycling Thread

I have the basic Sky package that comes with Sky WiFi. Now Eurosport is no longer available any tips as to where I can watch Paris- Roubaix? Cheers.
 
Good racing on now, Brabantse race, warm up for Amstel on Sunday.
Return of Remco the main headline here, but WvA and Pidcock also in the field today.

(On Sunday they’ll have Pogi on the start line too apparently).
 
Back to form for Pogi at La Fleche Wallonne, an incredible sight when he takes off and gaps everyone immediately
Just seen it back now.
Outstanding and exhilarating performance from Pog there. A good sign ahead of LBL. He did look like he had aged a few years by the finish line, but maybe that was down to the conditions all day.

Horrific conditions wasn’t it, forecast for Sunday looks much better though, 20 degrees with barely any wind. Hopefully Pogi and Remco can put on a show but wouldn’t surprise me if Pidcock and Healy were up there too. Pidcock looked strong yesterday, coming into form for the Giro nicely by the looks of it

Agree with all that yep.

I’m actually a bit gutted we haven’t got Remco vs Roglic to look forward to at the Giro. Think that would’ve been special.

That’s the day I’m thinking of coming over for. If you see it before I do, any chance you can post any links to any route info or map for that stage? - I’d be v grateful, ta.

Stage one is Dalby to Redcar so it would appear over the moors. The stages are up but not the routes at the moment one stage is a circuit at Kelso a beauty of a town in the boarders. Will keep you posted :-)

Yeah, living in the NW, they are all longish journey to get to, but the start section on Stage 1 around the Forest area looks nearest, as I’m assuming it’ll be a kind of south to north route on that day.

Sorry not a circuit finish Kelso but going through some great country and towns prior to Kelso and its cobbles. Love the Boarders.

Same here, perhaps Adam Yates and Ayuso can surprise us and put up a fight against Roglic but I don’t see that happening, would you say that’s a fair assessment?

Yates always seems to have an off day and Ayuso has got to go to a level above what’s he shown up till now against Roglic in prime grand tour condition

Yes, agree too. Ayuso has flattered to deceive many times now. He needs to step up, though I do wonder whether he and his team would secretly be happy with a podium being enough(?). Though I think he should be aiming higher.
Yeah, Yates has flashes doesn’t he?
