The Pro Road Cycling Thread

Yes, if you combine the TT day and the day afterwards in the mountains, the Dane was just on a different planet.

The thing is, apparently Pog’s TT numbers weren’t that bad and matched his previous tour winning performance data (look at how he distanced WvA and the rest of the field). His only issue was that his rival was producing unbelievable numbers. It’s the knowledge of that which knocked the stuffing out of him, and made his body language look like a beaten man - because he know that’s what he was. That’s my take anyway.
L’Equipe have always found a way to say the unsayable...

Anyway, back to the cycling. I’m looking forward to a few days up in Glasgow for the Worlds next month, though if this weather keeps up I won’t be taking the bike. Memories of the last one I went to in Harrogate were horrendous, a complete wash out (though I do think I saw us beat Everton in the pub the night before).
These cycling events are so much better a) when you’ve got your own bike and can make a day of it doing some pedalling of your own - sometimes on the actual course, which is shut to cars, and b) when it’s dry.
Got some great memories with my lad of climbing up Buttertubs through the thousands of fans already lining the climb, cos we’d arrived a bit late, when the Tour came to Yorkshire.
