Pro cycling 2021 season

Yeah I’d never even bother trying to get to Hay Tor! :joy:

We’ll probably ride over.

Other option was ride to the kom at Strete and then quickly jump on and see them coming into Exeter.

But that applies to any day trying to park on hay tor pretty much, it has to be truly terrible weather and in school time to be able to park easily.

Well that’s quite the team for next week.

Might try and catch the highlights. Was watching earlier, but we then had to head out for chores

Pretty damn good.

I’m kind of gutted though, the boys at work have been going mad betting on the horses this week. I said if they wanted a change check out MSR. Told them if I was a betting man I’d put some money on he who won (don’t want to spoil it for others)

Told the wife, she says I’m an idiot🤣

TDF squad minus Bernal?

Forget that, no DvB

Milan San Remo. Nice to see this chap win; often a pick for my TdF fantasy squad :ok_hand:

Good shout.

Just watching Bruges-De Panne…for all you tubeless advocates, one guy just went down due to his tubeless tyre coming off the rim :scream:

And now a Canyon out front Garmin mount snaps for a Movistar rider whilst going over cobbles. Further great PR for Canyon!

Reinforces why I always use the safety lanyard, and on this occasion so was the movistar rider as well. Not sure I’d have been able to detach it, unloop the lanyard and get it in my back pocket quite as effectively as he did!

Will have to look for that.

I just watched today’s Volta

How good is Adam Yates looking right now? Had a great battle with Pogacar in UAE and looked confident and imperious today. Great ride from Chaves in hunting him down though to be fair!

Good day for Ineos. 1, 2 and 4 in GC at the moment!

Gutted.

Given the rollercoaster that this virus rides, chances are we won’t see PR until next year

Great win yesterday :+1:

AY has a very unique cycling style hasn’t he? He is absolutely planted on the top of his bike, no upper body motion at all.

I was thinking that as well, but also it’s super weird that Simon is exactly the same. Did they both come up with the style together when they were little?!

Makes them easy to pick out on the footage though.

Glad you have put your finger on it. It’s been bugging me forever about why he looks a bit odd on the bike. I kept focussing on whether it was the sunglass/welding goggles

IMHO I don’t like it. But horses for courses.

Those glasses :joy:.

This was doing the rounds when Simon won La Vuelta in '18.
