Armitstead is out of control.

 

[lordofthepies]

Wow, she really is.

 

[TimeyWimey]

Can't see DDV going ahead at this rate.

edit: DDV to go ahead "at this moment". Good call.

Not fucking bad, Cancellara.

Sagan

 

[lordofthepies]

Sagan won a race!

 

[Martino Knockavelli]

Luke Rowe sitting up and refusing to sprint for 18th place and the attendant fantasy points. Absolute disgrace.

 

[TimeyWimey]

Don't blame Rowe, blame Etixx-Cantfuckingdecidewhoshouldleadohfucktheyvebrokenaway-Step.

Sounds bad for Wanty's Antoine Demoitie, in intensive care after a crash and being hit by a motorbike.

 

[TimeyWimey]

Reports that Demoitie has died. Absolutely horrendous news.

 

[Martino Knockavelli]

Fucking hell, Daan Myngheer has pegged it anarl. :-|

 

[Martino Knockavelli]

Astana with the Etixx Omloop 2015 playbook in the finale. Executed to perfection!

 

[TimeyWimey]

I'm off to Belgium on Friday for Flanders. Money is on Vanmarcke but after yesterday probably Kristoff's to lose.

 

[Martino Knockavelli]

Noice. Have a Chimay for us.

 

[Martino Knockavelli]

Thinking about getting a massive tattoo of Lizzie armitstead's face on my chest.

 

[TimeyWimey]

Fooking legendary from Lizzie and Sagan. Great day on the Paterberg, absolutely burnt to crisp, second time there and I'd reccommend it to anyone and everyone.

My bro and I have already started to make plans to go next year. I'd love to go.

 

[TimeyWimey]

Aim for the Paterberg for 10:30 and you pretty much have your pick of where to watch from, aside from the Fabian fans. Taking plenty of drink and food, sorted for the day!

I want to do the sportive on the Saturday next year.

Yeah, I'd love to do that as well. I just need to take on Swiss Hill in Alderley Edge a couple of times a week for practice and I'll be all ready for it...

 

[Super_horns]

I know its not that easy but Armistead must be a big favourite for Olympic gold?

 

[TimeyWimey]

No reason (although Marianne Vos is returning) she can't win the Olympic road race but even then the general public/media will still be oblivious/uninterested in what she's doing for some reason.

I'm thinking the cobbles don't have shit on the potholes of Lancashire.

 

[Martino Knockavelli]

The course looks a wee bit more climby than she'd design for herself I think, tho certainly not prohibitively so.

 

[Martino Knockavelli]

Latest scores on the doors btw (I think this is everyone?)

If this was real cycling people would be alleging naughty things about Timeywimey's preparation methods on Twitter. Just saying.

 

[TimeyWimey]

Landa looked in fine fettle this afternoon, which is pleasing as he's my only gc hope.

 

[TimeyWimey]

BTW, 50/1 for Luke Rowe @ Paris Roubaix on Betway. Tempting.

 

[Martino Knockavelli]

 

[TimeyWimey]

Stybar weather? Though I would fucking love it if Etixx played a trump card and Tony Martin went for it.

 

[Martino Knockavelli]

If Stannard is ever gonna land a big one it will be in filthy conditions. Also sets the over/under on sudden cuts to a shot of a beleaguered looking Geraint Thomas emerging from a ditch at 18.5.

 

[TimeyWimey]

A feeling Etixx are getting too excited too early again. Playing into Sky's hands.

Tony Martin looking beautiful on the cobbles though. Wasted.

 

[TimeyWimey]

Sagan casually riding over Cancellara's bike. On cobbles. Yeah.
