Crystael posted:Yup, Sky look like a bundle of poo poo compared to the last two years, especially. Losing Kreuziger is a huge blow to Bertie, though - who else has he got to support him in the high mountains now? Contador never has teammates when the poo poo goes down on the big climbs.

Fabs strategy: Take a flyer and Cav will crash everyone out. Almost worked.

Um Sagan said he didn't attack Nibali at the finish because they are friends? wtf Also, Ligget continually trying to blame Cancellara for the Cavendish crash.

Going to spectate a pro road race should be about partying with your friends and generally having fun being part of the scene. Watching a blur of lycra for 2 seconds really isn't that exciting.

TraderStav posted:Does everyone's time start at the same moment or when they cross the start line? Meaning that someone could have a better time but not cross the finish first? It seems that all times start at the same moment since the moment at the finish line is so critical. There is no 'start line'. They do a neutral roll out and once everyone is rolling, the race director waves a flag and they all start racing.

There is a natural tendency to take another step out so you can see around the person next to you. Also, they are probably drunk.

I try to like TeeJay, but having 20+ days of racing decided by an hour or so of w/kg is not that exciting to watch. I wish they had more stuff like today. If 30 people had DNFed I might think different. But there was only one.

Just watched the last 30k. Saxo sure stepped on the gas right after the TJ crash. He's also lucky he had Cancellara because it looked like the rest of BMC couldn't even keep up with the team cars.

gently caress Specialized and gently caress Contador, but on the replay you can clearly see Roche waiting for the team car with Contador's crashed bike (not Roche's McClaren) which pretty obviously does not have a broken frame.

WEREWAIF posted:God drat I've done worse on a cycling show when I rolled a tire at 50mph. If you think about it, it's way better to expend the friction needed to stop on a leather cycling shoe than lycra/skin. Also multiple other riders reported that Saxo was taking risks trying to move up to the front when Contador crashed, which sounds the most likely of any scenario.
