Tour of Britain 2024, September 3-8

[Izzyeviel]

Haters have to hate.

How have they destroyed cycling? I imagine the explanation will be suitably entertaining.

Chris Froome kept beat their favourite rider at the Tour.

 

[Tim Cahill]

QS random attack takes 30 seconds off the break with the intermediate coming up, strange tactics but pretty spectacular.

 

[Coffeeplanter]

Echelons, apparently?

 

[Tim Cahill]

Alaphilippe at the intermediate!?

 

[Berniece]

A shame no livestream has started yet. We're missing an exciting race

 

[Coffeeplanter]

Everything back together, sad.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Bit of a shame there's no big queen stage after this because it's been good.

 

[Berniece]

Live stream has started

A few years ago already i said Foss would be a very good breakaway rider, and that he should focus on that instead of going for GC's in big races (for which he lacks the talent). Not sure if he's riding for a stagewin or with some masterplan in mind to help one of his teammates (who are all basically out of GC contention).

And judging by the Tour of the Alps, he even has a bit of a sprint on him.

Why exactly is Bahrein riding?

Edit: Some dude in the teamcar "Bahrein being Bahrein". lol

Why exactly is Bahrein riding?

Govekar came 2nd from the peloton yesterday, so I guess they see chance for him?

May secure Williams the GC in the end. IPT doesn't really look like they are able to speed up much.

Oh, so they aren't riding for Israel, they're riding for SQS. Good to know.

Starting the kid-on-the-bike-path hype train. Gonna win the Tour of Britain in 12 years, then they bring up this footage again.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Peloton splits.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Evenepoel starting his solo.

 

[Berniece]

Not sure what to make of Remco just not being in the peloton anymore

 

[Tim Cahill]

Hayter Ethan (INEOS Grenadiers) is in the front of the peloton

Frame it and put it on the mantlepiece

 

[SafeBet]

Lovely weather out there

 

[Squire]

Some proper British weather.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Abrahamsen. Gorilla in the mist.

 

[willbick]

This is not a day for him. He just wants to stay healthy and upright

 

[Squire]

Gelders has picked up a thing or two from Remco.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Hope Thibau Nys has his phone working and isn't on the beach yet.

 

[Izzyeviel]

proper British summer.
