I get the wish for a2b, but going to oude for the 3x pass and big screen finish is just about as good as it gets watching cycling. Or anything else really...
What don’t you like about the circuits? I mean as far as circuits go, pretty *** epic IMO.
For me what I like most about cycling is the narrativity of it all. I think the narrative gets very muddled by the circuits. It feels phony. I also think the individual climbs lose impact - it's bad enough that they've already been raced on countless times during the season, to do them twice and even thrice in the same race is way too much. The ascent of the Koppenberg feels much more special to me, because it's just that one time every year. In addition I think it would make for a more varied and interesting race if those three key parts of the race played by the repitions of Oude Kwaremont and Paterberg were given to three other climbs; their time to shine.
By which, I assume, you mean the Spring Classics CQ game is about to start. 48 hours (and a bit) to get your teams to me, directly or through Shakes' webtool.And the "real" season begins! I couldn't wait.
They've learned from previous mistakes. Program starts at 13:30, and actual coverage of the race with commentary at 13:40.
Nope. Out of the squad I would only recognize Naesen. The rest are all little light French guys in my mind. (It was in fact a smaller rider) and only saw him from behind when he passed.
So much went wrong there. Why was Boonen one of the first to attack, when they could rely on his sprint Did Vandenbergh think he could ride away together with Terpstra? Why did Terpstra go to the front and initiate the sprint? Masterclass in selfish riding. Could've been 4 separate teams.
van Aert will likely want a hard race, though, I think. His shape isn't quite there yet. So he may attack early regardless
When you leave the Giro early, you have to spend your time on something else.
Yeah, a bit hard to ride a bike after giving birth.
This is good news. I was worried his crash would wipe out his entire spring. Looks like we're still on target for a smashing 2025 season.
I haven't seen the broadcast times, but this is apparently to be the first Breakaway of the season, so a yet to be specified amount of time of Orla and Blythe's expertise.
Hey, if they were true “hard men” they would ride that section!This guy still got some work to do before Dwars door Vlaanderen.
Or he’s stealing them.
