Wasn’t there also a loud rendition of ‘happy birthday’ for Doull? Sounds like a proper angry mob (as was reported) :lol:Captain Sensible said:I was there and yes some people were protesting but it was not that vocal, more cheers than boos but thats the press for youTourOfSardinia said:If this is OffTopic Mods please feel free ...

Yet at the start line in Doncaster on Thursday, Chris Froome, the team’s star rider, was greeted by boos.
The four-time Tour de France winner was trying to give an interview on stage while a small but vocal group of protesters shouted “Shame on you” and “Change your sponsor” while waving placards reading “Frack off Ineos, tha’s not welcome in Yorkshire” and “On your bike, Ineos”. They refused to shut up, despite being told to button it by fans keen for the race not to be overshadowed by the demonstration.
To be honest up front, I don't find any road bike beautiful! :lol: That being said, the Pin has too many extra curves for my eyes. I like the black to red color though.oldcrank said:I know it has been talked about before but I love the fact that Ineos supplies Acrylonitrile to Toray to make the special carbon fibre that Pinarello uses to make therick james said:
Most beautiful bike in the peloton.
The carbon fibre frame and fork might be beautiful in isolation but I have to focus on it because my glaze is attracted to that hideous big chain ring. Destroys the look of the entire bike. The UCI should ban ossymetric chainrings because they bring the sport into disrepute in ugliness.oldcrank said:I know it has been talked about before but I love the fact that Ineos supplies Acrylonitrile to Toray to make the special carbon fibre that Pinarello uses to make therick james said:

That would be fracking beautiful. Dare to dream!Gigs_98 said:With bernal missing the giro I think they could do a podium sweep at the tour and I'm not even joking
I see what did there.oldcrank said:That would be fracking beautiful. Dare to dream!Gigs_98 said:With bernal missing the giro I think they could do a podium sweep at the tour and I'm not even joking
Best thing would be to let those 3 go stage hunting. As you said, I can’t see them featuring highly on GC over the course of 3 weeks.Valv.Piti said:I guess they bring Sosa now (not on the initial startlist for some reason), but the guy is legitimately worse than Purito on a time trial bike. Then again all of the time trials are pretty hilly and Sky desperately would need someone to do something in this race, although they obviously still have Siva and Hart, but both those youngsters will be demolished in the high mountains over the course of three weeks.
According to la gazzetta he's noemw part of the Giro roster.SafeBet said:Wasn't Sosa previously taken out of the Giro roster?
Tao and Sivakov will be interesting to follow during these three weeks, I expect to win at least a stage.

I mean in theory someone could simply be better but who? Dumoulin with the giro in his legs? Porte? Mas? Like, am I forgetting anyone or will this really just be an ineos parade? Genuinely the only thing I can see bringing some excitment is fights among the ineos teammates. I mean if Froome has a flawless first week the thing is over, but if it's like last year and Thomas or Bernal are in front of him when they reach the mountains, they won't just willingly hand yellow over to him, or at least I don't think they will. The annoying thing is, this race could have a properly great three way battle for the win, but unfortunately all three guys are riding for the same team.Mayomaniac said:Seriously, how do you stop that team at the Tour?
Tensions inside the team, 3 guys wanting to ride for the gc, or Kelderman taking them out Blockhaus style are probably the only realistic options.
Go to Vuelta, which has a stages in France. Win Vuelta. Convince sponsor overlords that it countsMayomaniac said:Seriously, how do you stop that team at the Tour?
