I know, just bummed that he is injured again

So I shouldn’t name the next thread “fractured vertebrae and fractured dreams”

French police are looking for these guys, seen around Paris. Do not approach!

On a course that is about as favourable towards the big bois as it can get!

Looks like MVDP is not doing the XC race tomorrow, Pidcock pretty overwhelming favourite against what I'd rate as mostly amateur field.

Great win for Pidcock in the MTB.

He seems to have had a bit of a lucky break to make the catch on the last lap

Lefevere says that REMCO is to "discover" Milan - San Remo in 2025 and Flanders and do Liege - Bastogne - Liege too. GO DAMN MY PANTS ARE BULGING

He is the greatest British cyclist in history. Full stop. And he's only 24.

That was an incredible move he made to win. Un-fucking-believable.

Do they think the 3% poggio is how Remco pulls away from the group or is it a 30k solo attack?

Highly unlikely that he'll win MSR, I do not rule out a daring attack from Capo Mele though! It is Flanders that I am excited about.

does he have the top end power required for the Kapelmuur? Seems like you need that to RvV these days.

This pic ended up being prognostic.

Vuelta stage 6 to start from inside Carrefour supermarket. Yeah, just keep reinforcing that status as a Mickey Mouse tour.

Una etapa de La Vuelta a España saldrá ¡desde dentro de un Carrefour de Cádiz!

Carrefour acogerá la primera salida desde el interior de un hipermercado en la historia del ciclismo. En concreto, será Carrefour Jerez Sur quien albergará el próximo 22 de agosto el inicio de la etapa 6 de La Vuelta. Este evento sin precedentes en las grandes carreras resalta el espíritu...

Even if Remoco can get a small gap at the top of the Poggio, I can't see him maintaining it on the descent.

This feels like a really tough classic for him.

I would never rule him out of winning any race that he enters but it is difficult for me to see the winning scenario for him.
