Re: Re:

A coffee stop?!?!?

To me it seems more like tea.

Good old brit, our Chris Froome.

He's Kenyan not British. Definitely coffee.

Ketones?

For the win.....

Re:

Sky's original plan was Pete, because he was top 5 at the Baby Giro!

And it would have been acceptable.

Re: Re:

what happened to his forehead?

lots of growth factors thru the bones in the skull methinks.

#phrenology (Poe's law)

More bone mass must surely add unnecessary weight. Marginal un-gains?

Re: Re:

How's the coffee Alberto?

Froome and Cound have an obsession with Alberto, very strange and scary. I mean, I am obsessed too, but, I am not Froome or Cound

Why is he holding the cup from the base? Does he not know how to drink coffee like Italian? And that neck garter, what the?

it looks like tea.
that little white can on the right is where they usually put tea water, at least where i'm from.
not that it matters much.
but if we get this wrong, Fround will no doubt use it later to discredit us.

Just like you have an obsession with Froome, Cound and Sky

Don't worry about bike handling skills, coffee drinking skills need work!

Lift: Pick up the cup by the handle, using your fingertips instead of looping a finger through the opening (which is likely too small, anyway).

Looks like he's warming his hands - isnt that warm out and about at the moment (if that picture is current).

class is not something you can train.
you either have it or you don't.

Re: Sky

I believe the poor coffee cup handling occurred here. Once it's it's ingrained it's hard to change those skills...

good blog on cycling photography.
https://humancyclist.wordpress.com/2014/05/12/cycling-photography/

The more social of us not only document the ride but our fuel too. This mostly comes in the form of arty black and white shots of expensive looking coffee. If there’s one thing the cyclist enjoys as much as their bike it is hot black Java. Occasionally you’ll see an accompanying slice of energy rich cake that looks like it has been baked by somebody from The Great British Bake Off.

My preferred cafe stop pictures are those taken from within miserable looking cafes, hot tea steaming in the foreground whilst in the background rain pounds on condensation heavy windows. You can almost taste the dirt on the rider’s cold blue lips and feel the lactic acid in their heavy, mud covered legs.

The Dawg with his neck garter holding a soup bowl nicely puts that cycling romanticism to bed!

not to win the tour de france. That would have been riis like in it's ridiculousness.

Wiggins and froome were even worse but thay doesn't mean kennaugh was anything approaching a GT talent either.

How embarrassing... it's coffee/tea, not noodles or rice, Dawg!

Cut Dawg some slack, he clearly only had to pose with the coffee/tea for a photo, he normally never does coffee stops. How's he supposed to know how you lift a cup
Compare that to those amigos, with their 4th coffee stop in 2 hours of training. They do nothing else. They have plenty of cup-lifting experience.
