    Tour de France 2017 Stage 18: Briançon - Izoard, 179.5kms

    If he has anything left, I think Martin might make this stage interesting. Froome, Uran & Bardet are not going to risk much. Some minor argy-bargy in the last few km. Landa is constrained by his team role. Martin knows he deserves better than sixth and I reckon he won't care about risking a...

    Michael Matthews Appreciation Thread

    Certainly possible for Mathews. If MM takes all the IS points on the next two stages, and MK gets zero, then it's MM=384 vs MK 373. Friday: MM will probably get more points than MK, or at least not lose too many. ITT: Either/both could pick up a few points. Lots of riders will be exhausted &...

    Tour de France 2017 Stage 16: Le Puy to Romans-sur-Isère

    Barguil doesn't need the KOM points, so Sunweb could use him to pull Mathews over the lump and at least take the intermediate sprint points.

    Tour de France 2017 Stage 14 : Blagnac > Rodez 181.5 km

    Bling for the stage. Parisian sprint for GC. Cannondale for Froome.

    Tour de France 2017 stage 4: Mondorf-les-Bains-Vittel 207 km

    One positive - it's opened up the green jersey. Lots of points there still. If the pure sprint stages end up getting shared around, there's a chance for Mathews if he can manage to hoover up intermediate sprints and show up at the end of MMS.

    Kimmage unleashes hell, counter-sues Verbruggen & McQuaid

    Absolutely! Why all this strange negativity surrounding the embezzlement of the Cyclemas funds? Cyclemas was krap; Jamie's only in it for the photo ops etc. Accept that one certain person may have been a complete ahole and move on. Squash him if the opportunity arises, but don't allow him to...

    Kimmage unleashes hell, counter-sues Verbruggen & McQuaid

    And you could have stepped in silently as well (or publically for that matter). I assume that you didn't, because PK seems to have accepted Jamie's offer. WTF are you on about?

    Kimmage unleashes hell, counter-sues Verbruggen & McQuaid

    To the first part, you should have understood that that was the question I was posing. To the second part, you are way out of line and I offer no reply.

    Kimmage unleashes hell, counter-sues Verbruggen & McQuaid

    So the consensus is that Cyclismas was krap basically, but that one of its primes is deserving of pity?

    Kimmage unleashes hell, counter-sues Verbruggen & McQuaid

    A sorry state of affairs. I must say that I'm absolutely astonished that a founder of a purportedly progressive voice in cycling seems to have run away with funds donated in a progressive cause. But I don't feel slighted either. I accept that we will always have parasites, and that some of...

    The Police have a steroid problem

    This is obviously possible. But is it happening?
