    Vuelta speculation

    Bardet is in. He does not appear on the list. I don't expect to see someone that was on the Tour de France winning . I may be wrong.

    So, we Canadians have no legal way to see the Vuelta.

    It isn't on any of our Sports network. It isn't on Fubo TV. So, no TV cable or pay site in Canada is offering us the Vuelta. With everything taht could be seen on Fubo only , i thought for sure we could see the Vuelta on TSN or RSN as Fubo TV has US rights only. I feel cheated by...

    TdF '17 - stage 5: Vittel>La Planche des Belles Filles 160km

    Re: TdF '17 - stage 5: Vittel>La Planche des Belles Filles 1 There are so few REAL mountain stages this year this one will count. So many stages where the big mountain is 30-40 kms away from the finish lines. All these stages will be for nought. Good opportunities for the climbers that are a...

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

    Re: Re: Not so sure the UCI loves Sagan. Too undisciplined. Too showy. Too much. I am pretty sure they hate him. And Sky too . He is stealing some thunder from all mighty Mister Sky Froome. Now, with him now, we can get to the business at end : celebrating the cult of Sky and their prophet...

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

    Re: Re: Not Madiot's decision. Relegating Sagan was the right call. The DQ from the Tour is a UCI decision. I don't think Madiot is happy with that. It will likely impact the ratings of the sprint stages as Sagan is such a star. I know that i will not watch only the mountain stages from...

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

    Re: Tour de France 2017 stage 4: Mondorf-les-Bains-Vittel 20 Just a question here ? Is Sagan really that dangerous a rider when he sprints ? Greipel seems to think so. As for those saying Cavendish would have won if not for the crash ? Get a hold. There is no way to know.

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

    Re: Tour de France 2017 stage 4: Mondorf-les-Bains-Vittel 20 Can't find a video that shows CLEARLY what went on. Like a slow motion. And i have seen in teh past sprinters that strayed WAY more from their lines not being sanctioned at all. Guess Dimension Data and FDJ have more power than Bora...

    Rate the TdF 2017 route

    I find the recent Tours dispointing. Too many boring sprint stages. We all know how they will work. An early break will get 4-5 minutes until we it the 50 km mark. Then, the peloon will toy with them, catch them around 10 km . Then a blazing speed for the last 5 km with the sprinters working...

    Giro 2017, stage 19: S.Candido/Innichen - Piancavallo 191 km

    Re: This, totally this. And, it could very well have been that Landa , at this stage, would have been helping Geraint Thomas . And teh Pinot will win the Giro as well. I love Pinot. I love him a LOT. But, he is a weak TT . On a TT in stage 10 that should have suited him, he lost almost...

    Giro 2017, stage 19: S.Candido/Innichen - Piancavallo 191 km

    Re: Re: You wish .. ON stage 10 Nibali was 47 seconds better than Quintana. Can he overcome 48 seconds on a shorter TT ? Doubtful. But, Nibali doesn't care about finishing second. I expect him to attack near the top of the first climb, then try to use his descending skills to gain a lot...

    Giro 2017, stage 19: S.Candido/Innichen - Piancavallo 191 km

    Re: I kind of agree. Why risking tiring yourself when there is still a mountain stage left ? He only had to follow Nibali. He and Nibali are equal in TT. Nibali has to attack . Quintana, once he saw Dumoulin cracking did not need to. It lacks panache. But it makes tactical sense . And , if...
