Isaac Del Toro thread

[Wyndbrook]

It's good and proper to give someone a fine for something they can't help? Riiiiight, then...

Definitely looks broken:

Pissei kit!

I'll just get my coat.

Yes, it broke when he unzipped it... at some earlier point during the race. Not like he unzipped just before going over the line.

It definitely happened before the last 1.5 km.

Here's a crazy theory!
CheckMyPecs has somehow made it into the upper levels of the UCI, and he obviously fainted at the sheer horror of seeing some guy's skinny chest.

Looks like you can still get away with it in the NBA. Seems rather strange that Europe is now more prude then USA in this regards. It i guess started in football, on where heaven forbid an athlete took the shirt off.

P.S. But OK, at least such things help with improving the safety.

Congrats young man!

Let's open the account!

To be fair, in football - and I suppose basketball as well - when a rider scores a goal, he'll usually have to continue playing afterwards.

And just to be clear; Del Toro never actually took his jersey off.

That's a warm up session. Nobody is fining a rider if he doesn't have his jersey on while on the rollers before a race (I think).

The old-world sense of decorum, formality if you like, not prudishness. On the latter, just go to any newspaper kiosk or turn on the TV in Europe and prude doesn't exist.

Hey come on guys, deserves at least one like or dislike surely.
UAE kit supplier Pissei, riders kit malfunction- Pissei kit.

It's the best I can do.

I might just follow you around and @Sandisfan level react to your posts, just to play it safe.

Understanding the joke would require knowledge of who their kit supplier is.

I would have any semi decent fan would know their favourite teams kit supplier!

I would have any semi decent fan would know their favourite teams kit supplier!

So, I'm excused then?
UAE not being my favourite team.

I don't have a favourite team.

Nice ride young man!

UAE doing more and more for other riders, Pogacar is the obvious focus, but there are many quality racers in their system, don't think that Isaac has a big ego, doesn't feel like a caged animal.. I don't know what will happen with standing room only, Almeida, Ayuso, Torres, Morgado, Yates, Vine, McNulty, Soler, Sivakov, Navarez, couple others on form to win something and structure right now looks like Pogacar gets first right of refusal and the others wait for scraps. This has got to be like drugs for these new racers, taste winning and want more..maybe too many race horses...?

Or all reaping the benefits from being on a great team, racing with great teammates and only getting better by the friendly competition. Racing together as a unit.

Running back Cunego v Simoni II with Ayuso and Del Toro is our only hope now
