Roglič for me today.

 

[Gargamel35]

So Remco gets a nice cool photo, and Roglič gets a suffering one. I see.

Roglič for me today.

Just today?

Yesterday‘s winner Groves has improved his climbing quite a bit, and so also lost shoulder muscle. He used to have corny, cannonball-like shoulders, combined with fleshy, big thighs.

In recent times, he lost shoulder and thigh muscle. He now looks less impressive.

So Sam Welsford currently clearly is the #1 sprinter, aesthetically. Sam has shoulders like cannonballs, and brutal front thighs and calves. His strength in the upper body is so massive that he probably could tear apart a carbon handlebar with bare hands. Sam is built of pure muscle from head to toe, and is so strong that he shouldn‘t shake Kelderman‘s hand, to not cause a bone fracture. Welsford furthermore is really broad, and has excellent core stability. A pleasure to watch. He is the road pro who looks like Justin Gatlin, body-wise.

I’m trying to remember if you’ve always been singularly focused on cyclists’ physical appearance or if this is a new, elaborate attempt to troll the forum with increasingly charged verbal fondling of the “little bulls” in helmets.

I'm going to steal this for my dating profile.

You had me at brutal front thighs.

 

[DNP-Old]

Anders Johannessen a DNS today. These two have Greg Oden levels of durability. Terrible knees, myocarditis. You name it, they'll have it. So unlucky.

 

[Berniece]

Only a small group (3) of attackers today, with Hayter, Martin and Grmay. More chances that it all comes back together again and we'll see Remco and Roglic fight for those bonus seconds. Unless Remco drops everyone of course when he time trials his way up that mountain.

 

[Peyroteo94]

E3 and Catalunya will finish at the same time. Not great news for cycling fans

This is, midly put, a non-sequitur, homo-erotic post dangerously closing to a monolog troll. It would be brilliant if it you weren't being serious.

may be the Belgium weather might slow down one of the two.

Jumbo were okay letting that 3 man group get ahead but it looks like Quick-Step have taken over & brought the gap right down (it was nearly 5 minutes, now it's just under 3). Also new-Grmay has dropped the other 2 & gone off alone.

 

[Samamba]

What just happened in the peloton. Out of nowhere the random Spanish teams start attacking. Did they finally realize they have no reason to be here if they're not in the early breaks lmao?

 

[Rackham]

All 7 riders have regrouped at the front, with Martin, new-Grmay (Hayter went back to the peloton) & 5 Spanish riders. Gap is just under 3 minutes.

Apparently its been stomach problems in the Uno-X team during Catalunya. AHJ got problems on stage 1, THJ and Træen on stage 2. While it was quickly overcome by Træen it’s been worse for the twins. Will not be that surprised if Tobias also drops out before Sunday, he seemed to struggle very badly yesterday.

Also in Poland last season Uno-X got their race ruined because of stomach issues. When it happens twice in a relative short space of time, perhaps there are something they can do differently when it comes to the food stuff.

 

[Pirazziattacks]

Yep, really looking forward to the action later on.
Cycling should be good too.

Wow, I didn't think they allowed that sort of thing on here

 

[Samu Cuenca]

It's been 11 years since Euskaltel last won a stage in this race, so they obviously had to do something today.

Love Rog interviews

"Do you know the climb ?"
"No ...maybe better not to know before if very hard " ...ha ha

I'm going to steal this for my dating profile.

Just leaving emoji doesn't do justice to this post. I'm laughing my *** off!

Testing: ass

Considering the word ass isn't censured, i wonder what exactly you are laughing off.

 

[houtdffan]

what is Bora doing on the front?

 

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

Watching mainly E3 but just saw that Bora move, was that a meme attack by Hindley or what happened?

 

[Eddy Evenepoel]

Solerissimo!
