MrL_JaKiri posted:https://www.teamineos.com/article/chris-froome-to-leave-team-ineos-at-end-of-season No surprising, getting on abit with a huge contract and Bernal is clearly the future of the team and already able to win grand tours pretty much solo. Wonder where he'll go?

GCN have launched a race pass which is £20 for the year at the moment, has the grand tours and most of the big races. What's their commentary like? https://racetv.globalcyclingnetwork.com/

Tennis fans are the worst because they continually insist "tennis is a skill game doping won't help". Yes fitness has no role to play a game where finals are regularly 5 hours of explosive intervals.

Feels Villeneuve posted:tbh i don't actually care that much about doping itself, it was more the absolute bald-faced sanctimony by the Brailsford types and the english-speaking media that set me off. that and stuff like Armstrong being a complete sociopath. It's been an interesting contrast in the comments about froome missing the tour. Underneath british comments it's been word for word ukcyclingfan parody posts and under the french posts it's all people saying froome is running scared of franch anti-doping

https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2020/aug/21/tour-de-france-teams-will-be-expelled-if-two-members-test-positive-for-covid-cycling 2 suspected cases of covid = expulsion from the tour. Plan is the whole race will try and remain in a bubble for 3 weeks. Shame we're not going to see anyone trying to cough on froome up a climb.

Xabi posted:There’s no way Pinot wins the GC (unfortunately). Seeing all the French riders working for him at the dauphine makes me think he's got a chance. I know in reality he won't but must be the best chance for years. Another crash, this is getting a little farcical.
