kiddy Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 Good to see Cav off the mark in Colombia, beating Gaveria in a sprint. Then showing his class on a hilly stage with interaction wi the fans, Just look at the reaction of the guy! https://x.com/lucasaganronald/status/1755673334782599560?s=20 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiddy Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 (edited) Pogi wins Strade Bianchi with an insane attack 80kms from Siena & comes in 2.45 ahead of 2/3rd, peloton at 4.30+. Exactly where he said he’d attack. A strong field, yet nobody could follow, Sepp, Pidcock & La Porte included. Think only MVDP or WVA would be able to live with him on that form.

kiddy Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 (edited) La Grandissima today, into the last 30kms of Milan-San Remo & approaching the Cipressa. Talk of Pogacar launching an attack there to challenge MvDP & take the race to last years winner. Edited March 16 by kiddy 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiddy Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 All comes down to a mad sprint, Pidcock jumped on to a break & was leading with about 200 to go, but ends up with Philipsen beating Michael Mathews on the line, Pogi 3rd. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UAE got caught out of position at the bottom & once Del Toro was spent he should have gone for it. His power output & ITT ability, allied to his Strade Bianchi form, would have put him in with a better chance of the win than getting involved in trying to outgun the current form sprinter. It may also have caught MvDP out on his season debut on the road. As it was the WC ended up working for his team mate & Alpacin took the win. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t think it would have affected the outcome, but would have made the race a lot more interesting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those cobbles are brutal, bad enough in the dry , but in those conditions they were almost impossible, Mathieu was some what fortunate he got away in front ahead of the chaos that was caused by the slip 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiddy Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 Roglic took a dull yin today, in the Basque Tour. Looked dazed & confused but his team stuck him back on his bike. Cycling certainly hasn’t wised up to concussion protocols. His race should have been over IMO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
printer Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 (edited) Really nasty crash today in the Basque Tour. Several riders look badly hurt including Roglic, Remco and Vingegaard - who all appear to be out of the race. The former two at least walking to ambulances, but Jonas still lying in the recovery position. Hope none of them are too badly hurt. They came round a corner and into a concrete (!) drainage ditch at the side of the road. Several rocks near it too. Race currently neutralized as all medical cover used up. Brian Smith couldn't talk at one point as he was so upset by the pictures. ☹ Edited April 4 by printer 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kiddy Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 Roubaix Day, Sunday. I see they’ve put a “chicane” in at the entrance to the Arenberg Trench, to reduce the speed. It’s more like a Feckin hairpin! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiddy Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 Update on Vingegaard, broke collar bone, several ribs & a collapsed lung, in the crash the other day. Remco broke his collar bone & shoulder blade whilst Vine fractured 3 vertebrae. I also see Landa got carted off to hospital on a stretcher yesterday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That clip needs to be extensively shared so that the individual involved can be identified and dealt with 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
