    UCI announces World Tour reforms

    So they reduce the number of riders per team, then institute a minimum of 27 riders? What is that, a welfare program?

    Teams & Riders Vincenzo Nibali discussion thread

    So 10 watts and 45 minutes off a Contador? Not winning any prizes with that.

    Vuelta 2018 stage 14:Cistierna - Les Praeres de Nava 171km

    It's a frickin 12% climb, who cares who is "working" or not. One year we don't have Froome and everyone (well not Yates) has all but forgotten that. Which is why Quintana looking around to Lopez is so stupid. You just went full gas pedal to the metal and the guy behind you *had to do the exact...

    Vuelta 2018 Stage 2:Marbella – Caminito del Rey 163.5 km

    Re: Re: Okay, so what? That's nothing. They're not racing those climbs. It's 170 km distance. I could get more in less distance around here, and the highest peak is like 500m.

    They are getting bolder, announcing him for two races he will not do at a time now.

    Teams & Riders The Remco Evenepoel is the next Eddy Merckx thread

    If he's at 82 with 61 kg then obviously losing 2 to 3 kg ceteris paribus means a VO2max of 84 to 86. Which, of course, means nothing, because every WT rider bar Cavendish has that aerobic ability. It's the ticket to the dance, necessary, but not sufficient.

    Jan Ullrich still has it!!!

    Hello, the guy just tried to strangle a hooker and god knows he has driven more kilometres high as a kite than he ever did sober in his entire life. I'll have my laugh at his expense, no worries.

    Jan Ullrich still has it!!!

    Der Kaiser is the best thing to happen to the post-Tour-pre-Vuelta blues of all time, he's melting down faster than Chernobyl, this is far from over. I see a judge released him again, I wonder what Jan is doing this very moment :lol:

    Teams & Riders Mark Cavendish Discussion Thread

    He's not injured, he's just bad, not sure you can get a sick note for that.

    Teams & Riders Chris Froome Discussion Thread.

    It means the Dawg makes some dollars by riding Rigoberto "moonlighting instead of doing my real job" Urans shitty gran fondo at recovery pace. Like a crit for when you didn't win the Tour. For being such a terrible GC rider Uran really puts an emphasis on the whole "sell your brand" thing :lol:

    Clasica San Sebastián 2018, 4/8 - 228.7km

    Allow me to translate: he was chilling at the back even going into the decisive climb.

    Dumoulin.

    Re: Re: You know, you gotta ride a bike to compete, that's not a UCI thing, it's a cycling thing :o So the UCI gets rid of the weight limit. Now Bardet rides a 6 kg bike, *Dumoulin* rides a 6 kg bike because frankly there just isn't much any difference between a 54 or 56 frame.

    Michal Kwiatkowski Thread

    It's Sky, he'll win the prologue, everybody goes "ahh another Geraint" and then 3 weeks later he wins the whole thing. You read it here first.
