A coffee and a small Danish.

[RedheadDane]

If you want someone who attacks on descents, the only one I can remember doing that all year is Mohorič. I‘m actually desperate for an attack based on bike handling.

But what if it was based on bad bike handling?

"AAAAAAH!!! I DON'T KNOW HOW MY BRAKES WORK!"

The rider would become the ultimate meme, making me instantly a fan

I bring some sad news! Pieter Serry has been eaten by a dinosaur.

Tragic, we were so preoccupied with thinking whether we could that we didn‘t stop to think if we should.

Heiko is scoring big… I mean, he is scoring BIG: from current PCS:

A damn shame I didn't see this when he'd just rapidly climbed up the chart.

I believe Pieter Serry has survived the dinosaur attack. Life finds a way!

Spoiler

Yes, I forgot to write this for a long time but important information is not to be withheld

Did Chris Froome get involved?

 

[Finn84]

I still think this is a general topic to talk about Danish cyclists.

 

[RedheadDane]

I still think this is a general topic to talk about Danish cyclists.

Only small ones!
For example:
Vingegaard? Sure, though I'd say he's pretty averagely sized.
(M) Norsgaard? Absolutely not!

This guy is just NUTS!

Some interesting entries on today's PCS birthday list.

Some interesting entries on today's PCS birthday list.

Henri Paret is apparently the oldest cyclist to ever ride the Tour de France. He wasn't quite 168, but 50 years old when he rode in 1904 and finished 11th.

Henri Paret is apparently the oldest cyclist to ever ride the Tour de France. He wasn't quite 168, but 50 years old when he rode in 1904 and finished 11th.

And it seems like it's not really publically known when he died.

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

or if...

 

[RedheadDane]

or if...

I think the fact that he would otherwise be 168 makes it quite likely that he is in fact dead.

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

But what is 'quite likely' and what is 'publicly known' are not necessarily the same thing...

 

[RedheadDane]

Funny/sweet little detailed I just noticed, for... reasons.

Paolo Longo Borghini got a sister for his 11th birthday!

I also believe they have a strong bond with each other. They possibly live in the same house as well, or at least in the same town.


PCS are at again: Twins Mario and Florian Gamper were born 400 km apart. They've also given Florian the same height as Patrick.

They've also given Florian the same height as Patrick.

Maybe Florian had a late growth spurt? Maybe his height if flunctuating like T. Pidcock's?

I doubt it, although it makes better sense than him being born in a different hospital than his brother.

I doubt it, although it makes better sense than him being born in a different hospital than his brother.

He was, however, born in the same hospital - or at least city - as his older brother. Which, is of course significantly less necessary than being born in the same location as your twin!

Sure, but I doubt any of them were actually born in Wien as they all seem to have grown up around Kufstein.

Fuglsang was born in Geneve. He grew up in Silkeborg!

I know, but German Wikipedia, which is very trustworthy (we all remember their accurate discription of Pernsteiner's body type), says Patrick was born in Kufstein.
