    The Caleb Ewan vs. Fernando Gaviria Thread

    To my layman's eye it looked as if Caleb Ewan stopped pedalling short of the line. Gaviria was sitting behind the hulk Greipel till he launched. I watched the finish several times looking at their positioning and could not see Gavaria, the only one that wasn't obvious, till he launched. He...

    The Caleb Ewan Thread

    I think Gerrans is fantastic. the whingers go on and on about him being a wheelsucker; what abourt all the other sprinters?? He races smart and has the palmares to back it up; as for the whingers, if you could ride 1/2 as good as Gerran you'd be a formidable cyclist

    Nibali's sticky bottle

    Teams & Riders Vincenzo Nibali discussion thread

    2015 Vuelta stage 2: Alhaurín de la Torre / Caminito del Rey

    Re: Re: re: Chaves "He won't finish in top10 imo" Probably not, but he just WON A STAGE!, which is probably more than at least one of the final top 3

    2015 Vuelta stage 2: Alhaurín de la Torre / Caminito del Rey

    I'm relatively new to comprehending road racing; but why did Dumoulin refuse to work? surely if he had enough energy to keep Chaves's wheel then he had enough energy to 'lead'; or was he just wheelsucking big-time?
