Vanthourenhout reminds me of a Sleestak, and I never want to see a Sleestak win:

Great to see Joris win! Guy looks to me, outside of the mutants, to have the biggest motor in CX. It's nice to see Van Empel win, even though I'm a Puck fan. It was hard to know how much emotional pain and turmoil she expereineced this past year, so it's good to see her looking happy...I just...

Yawn

That makes things much more boring. We get to see him riding alone for most of the race. Super fun...

So far, this year, the first weekends of CX racing have been MUCH more interesting than any road race this year, so yes, please sticky.

I like Sweeck, but that was a chicken *** move.

That was a hell of a ride by Riberolle at Exact, today. Just watched. She came from waaaaaay back.

I mean, he isn't the first person to rage quit something, but this is a strange hill to die on.

There are many other combinations of sounds that denote mother, however, and again, none of them is actually inherent to mothers. And because babies are not congitively able to denote why they chose to make a given sound, we don't know if the people around a person, calling them the mother or...

That also translates to national dialects. I grew up in the US south, and I can tell you that in movies TV shows, I am always rolling my eyes, or just turing off movies or shows where the characters are trying to sound southern. Even within the south, there are dialects and accents that are...

I don't want to forgt Tim Declercq, as he's the kind of rider I love, he showed up at Unbound this year, and he's a freaking beast. Yes, it is his last ProTour season, but I am hoping he will go the van Avermaet route. He had the Mohoric experience, though. I think a lot of ProTour guys would...

From a little investigation, it looks like the course could include some sketchy roads, and the terrain looks very rolling, so elevation death by 1000 cuts kind of course, maybe? Also, I trust Australians to put some hard *** in their courses.

Alexi and Kegan were talking about that exact thing. But in all honesty, barring mechanical, Quinn is a beast right now, and I get the impression he has a little bit of a grudge against US based riders. I won't opine more, because it veers into topics we aren't supposed to discuss. Not that I...

I don't agree with some of this, but what I will agree to is that if Quinn Simmons shows up at Big Sugar (He jokingly said of Il Lombardia was his last warm-up for Big Sugar), he's going to pummel that field.

They're 0'fer so far, but okay. And there are roads in Unbound that are significantly harder than anything they rode today. Every year, someboty makes the claim you make, and every year, the ProTour guys go home empty. It's the distinction between could and would, with the former being the...
