You have a link? Could it be worst then Colnago and Cannondale 2015?

Re: Re:

What is wrong with Pelucchi? Only 15th against this kind of sprinters field, last year he was beatig guys like Greipel and Viviani at the start of the season.

Bad shape it seems

Speaking of Tour Down Under, "Matteo Pelucchi was forced to abandon the stage after only four kilometres of racing. He was just not in shape,” Carlström said."

Wait, he went to the other side of the world to race 4km?! What the hell are the team managers doing allowing this? Or was it an injury?

He abandoned after 4 km stage 2. He pulls a Betancur it seems.

Kennaugh wins Stage 1 of Herald Sun Tour. Crazy Australian summer for him. Where is coverage of this race? Not seeing much online.

Its Australia, what do you expect? Tour tracker like they have in Cali, Utah, Colorado etc? I'm not bashing Australian fans or riders but the pathetic events they organize in Australia. Man, they are like 20 years behind in everything when it comes to cycling race events production. Just pathetic

Pretty bad from Demare again. The sprinting field at the EdeB is dog ***.

... and then took 2nd place today. This seems weird

An Italien website reported that yesterday there was a crash on the final km, maybe he lost his leadout man or a few members of his train, that would explain the 15th place.

Nice that Froome went all out in a race where nobody expects him to do so.

I appreciate that he races where he's at.

Sounds like a good win for him. He's still got something.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Coquard and Chava cleaning up in France. Great stuff.

 

[Bye Bye Bicycle]

Those shoes:

Re:

Yes! Those shoes though, horrible sneakers look. The Giros eventually grew on me though.

 

[Tonton]

Good for him. Yes, ugly shoes, but at least no orange bike . Only Eddy can race an orange bike and look good on it .

Coppel 1st for the moment in the Besseges TT (Pinot 2nd)

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Is there any live video for the ITT? Thought I read somewhere that there would be live coverage.

 

[Bye Bye Bicycle]

There has never been live coverage from the Etoile.

Coppel wins the ITT and the race.
