i can't let my man vom hanging so i'll share my quick thoughts on the giro, which i was behind on by about a day late for each stage, hence why i was absent during the thread (thanks whoever was ddosing tiz-cycling :maf). on one hand, having an underdog and the first ecuadorian to win a tour is fucking exciting but on the other hand, the cancellation of gavia and an entire stage being rerouted due to the starting town not having the means to host because of funding caused by municipal problems really hampered the latter half. the whole point of the giro is that once the climbing starts, it never stops. but the little bits of racing we saw were hella exciting, so i guess there's that?


and i wasn't aware of the tour's route this year and if nairo doesn't secure a win, or at the very least a podium spot, then his days are numbered. so that leads me to my prediction: this year's tour was designed for the colombians. this one is a bit easier to predict but sagan isn't going to be wearing the green. his season is bothced due to being ill during the critical training block of the program so it's an uphill battle for him until maybe the nationals. he won't be reaching his peak this season

As I understand it, it's the whole first third or half of the Giro that was redesigned at the last minute because of the Grand Départ town having to be changed. It's also a pity Dumoulin didn't finish, Bernal didn't show up and Roglic lost his doms but that's life.

froome blowing his nose during a descent on a gusty day is the cause of him crashing into a wall at 60kmph. at those speeds, he'd be lucky to only have a broken femur. let's just hope any additional injuries are below the neck

It‘s easy to hate on Froome and Team Sky in general, but I hope he will be a ble to recover soon.
The tone of the comments to this news has been incredibly vile.

I haven't seen the comments but I can imagine. It's a brutal injury, not something to cheer on. Without getting all fair play up this bitch, I'd rather see the performers I don't like get beaten on the field.

De Gendt get a win, Lotto Soudal has a good Tour so far with Wellens too, Quick Step obviously delighted too (maybe that Merckx spirit floating), French guy in yellow on the 14th of July, another one possibly contending for GC virtually ahead... Hopefully Bardet and Barguil can light some fireworks in high mountains.

Don't know what lies ahead but at least for once people cannot complain the first week was a bore ? Though maybe has a little to do with Froome and Dumoulin not starting.

pinot and the rest of the french gc contenders potentially lost the tour due to an attack initiated by alaphilippe on what was supposed to be a relatively boring sprint stage :lol you can't make this shit up

After a week/month/year/years of musings about Alaphilippe clearly not being a Tour winner, he's now 2mn ahead after the ITT, some real climbs and in the last third of the race.

 :whatsthedeal :larry

I don't want to be that guy but it's gonna be hard not to find it suspect if he wins it.

Buchmann has been a really pleasant surprise. Probably the first German since Ullrich and Klöden who can become a serious gc contender.

We don’t like to talk too much about Ullrich and Klöden nowadays.  :doge

supposedly the same lab that figured out how to test for good ol fashion blood doping has found a foolproof way to test for micro doping but you know, half-lifes and testing protocols that basically favor the illusion of a clean peloton and all

i can't lie, i have serious doubts on a 32 year old alaphilippe coming to gc form but whatever, allez allez allez!

Unlike Froome and Thomas he doesn't exactly have a general classification team around him, either. (Though it's not like the team he's on isn't very rich and very successful.)

He has sooooome palmares so I'm not as pissy about his run this year as I have been about Sky runs in prior years, but I'm also biased because he saved me from a Peter Sagan overall victory in the Tour of California.

the best part was when movistar attacked when quintana was well in the breakaway, taking about 3 mins from him. i will always be baffled by movistar's tour tactics but at least this will surely create a lot of internal drama

what a tour

Speaking of Bardet, was Alaphilippe's descent on par with Bardet's in 2015 (I want to say)? That's one of my favorite present day Tour moments.

though not surprised, landsides are going to become the new norm in higher elevations due to global warming. permafrost is what keeps the slopes intact, or were in the case of the alps. i knew this was the inevitable but fuck, i didn't expect it to happen this fucking soon. fuck this gay earth
