Giro will be cancelled within a week imo.

 

[TimeyWimey]

It would actually be a blessing if this excuse of a Giro was cancelled. Bored shitless with it.

Doesn’t seem to be much of a contest atm.

Most of the favourites out and others struggling.

You sure about that, mate?

 

[Super_horns]

Maybe another British Grand Tour winner ?

Who has the better time trial.

Tao has a much better record than Hindley. Kelderman is better than either of them but he's lost too much time today. I don't like Ineos or any of their British grand tour winners but it's impossible not to like Tao and I think he'll win it now.

Yeah, still found it on the whole a little flat. Battle of the domestiques and chancers. High points have actually been Demare (in general) and Sagan’s win. But I suppose coming after Pog’s TdF and THAT Flanders in the middle of it, it had a lot to live up to. Hope Hindley wins it tomorrow but I’ll be working and in a deep depression cos Roubaix isn’t happening, so I’m not particularly arsed.

Same! It's even worse cos I'm working from home and would have been able to get away with watching Roubaix this year ☹

I just think the last couple of mountain stages have been incredible though. Not in an entirely good way, cos I had money on Wilco to win the whole thing...

My brother has these bets on for the Giro. He's going to be disappointed at winning a 150/1 bet. Mental.

 

[Super_horns]

He does it - well done!

 

[TimeyWimey]

Hugh’s gonna win the Vuelta guys.

 

[courtneyp]

query How fast in Kilometres does a bike falling 1000 meters travel at?

 

[TimeyWimey]

Hugh winning up the Angliru has absolutely made my year. Nothing else matters.

Very good 3rd place for him.

Another close GC race.

Hopefully by March/April if a vaccine is rolled out across the world the situation will improve.

 

[lordofthepies]

Cav's going to the Tour, lads!

And what we see now that we should wait for some more time

 

[Super_horns]

Nasty couple of crashes to start Le Tour with .

One caused by a spectator and her sign .

 

[TimeyWimey]

I VDP

 

[lordofthepies]

He's incredible. Not seen anyone capable of such brutal attacks on those sharp climbs.

 

[TimeyWimey]

Could conceivably end the year as Cyclocross World Champion, yellow jersey wearer, mountain bike Olympic gold and road race World Champion. Maybe Paris Roubaix.

 

[lordofthepies]

Thomas has fallen off his bike. Who'd have thought it.

 

[TimeyWimey]

Never been a professional cyclist so incapable of riding a bike.

 

[Super_horns]

Not exactly going to plan for Team Ineos.

 

[TimeyWimey]

Carnage.

 

[lordofthepies]

I was about to post the exact same message as TimeyWimey. What a crazy 3 days. Carapaz sitting pretty.

 

[Super_horns]

Well done Mark Cavendish.

Back in the tour and gets a victory.

 

[lordofthepies]

CAV

 

[TimeyWimey]

Pog is a freak of nature.

 

[Super_horns]

Rogic showing how tough these guys are !
