Seems like its epicness was too much for the internet to handle.

Obviously so. I managed to capture it before it went though

Flèche Wallonne 2010 has an epic feel to it. Seven grand tour winners finished in the (original) top-10 as well as Purito and Gilbert. If you could clone some of those riders you might have a chance of beating Pogacar.

Let me reminded you that it's against the rules to clone riders.

Nah, Grandpa Valverde did it easily at the age of 42 last year (and 10 other guys as well).

Is it too silly to make a thread title based on one incident?
Because "Andreas Kron is not Homer Simpson" could be a suggestion.

Or Kronic the Hedgehog.

So I wasn't the only one to think about the Simpsons immediately after this unfortunate moment!

Watching Eurovision tonight, I was surprised that Tiberi hadn't been court ordered to appear as a backing dancer during the Sammarinese entry.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Similar to the snooker WC final, I don't know if Eurovision will be able tell us anything about how the Giro will end, but both Belgium and Slovenia made it trough to the final tonight. On Saturday we'll find out if the Belgian Boy George can beat the Slovenian pop-rock group of Roglič look-alikes.

Spare a thought for Danish reporter Anders Mielke, who is running around with one shaved leg after a bet with Mads Pedersen.

Hopefully Mads wins another one so he can balance it out.

 

[RedheadDane]

Hopefully Mads wins another one so he can balance it out.

Then the question is; if Mads wins another, will Anders be allowed to shave both legs at the same time, so it's even? Or will he just have to constantly run around with his legs unevenly shaved?

Good point. If Pedersen wins 4, then Mielke would end up with ever decreasing hair lengths on each limb if he doesn't!

I also saw someone asking if Pedersen would have had to grow his moustache twice as fast if he kept getting 2nd and 3rd.

Bit of random info:

Remember how Valgren had that terrible crash in Occitanie last year? Sure you do. Apparently - according to Moberg - at the same time his (oldest) son broke his leg, and his wife was heavily pregnant, and about to give birth.
So, yeah... interesting few weeks in the Valgren Hundahl family.

My favourite thing to see in cycling is attacks from distance. I’m not a big fan of time trials, bunch sprints or murito sprints for bonus seconds. Remco and Pogacar both attack long range often enough but they’re so strong that the result is rarely in doubt. I like a long range attack Nibali or Delgado style where they could gain time or blow up.

How do you like your Danish?

How do you like your Danish?

With a huge serving of irrational vitriol

 

[Netserk]

No, seriously. I take it that a Danish is more than just one standard thing, there is some variety to choose from, right?

If you wanna get hungry for some sweet stuff:

I think I’ve never had a Danish (pastry). It’s not really a thing in our straight off the tractor culture in Ireland. I’m a big fan of the scone though. If the scone was in the peloton, it would be named Nibali

So... according the to schedule on GCN+, from 30/5-3/6 they will be showing... tennis.
Yeah... definitely something I would expect to find on the Global Cycling Network streaming service...

Maybe it's cyclo tennis?
