>>69235163
Contadown third day in a row confirmed
>>69235146
Are you high?
RCosta should just stick to classics and target some TdF stages, maybe ToSwitzerland sometimes.
He does not have the talent or recovery needed for TdF successive mountain stages.
>I think we'll just pretend like it never happened and look forward to the mountains to come. At the end of the day it's just a bike race. I'm sure that the sun will come out tomorrow
what did he mean by this
>>69235209
this
costa gets absolutely roasted when he tries to hang with the big boys, he's barely good enough for a top 10 finish
>>69235209
I agree that right now he doesn't have what it takes. But he has the potential to do it IMO.
>>69235217
His smile and optimism are gone
>>69235217
fuck him, I had this motherfucker on my Scorito team and then this shit happens
>>69235217
>I think we'll just pretend like it never happened
this is my primary strategy for everything
>tfw skipped the first 2 days because of the euro - i didn't want to watch 8 hours of sports in a day - and so much happened already
knowing my luck today with be super boring
>>69235250
M8, no matter how much I like him, it's pretty clear he never had the potential to win BIG 3week races.
Look on the bright side, he's one of the best ever in irritating everyone that goes with him on a escape. He's super smart too for those cheeky wins.
But 3week races are pure grinding, one bad day and all your hopes are gone.
>>69235217
I used to like him, now I'm not so sure. :^)
>>69235217
Its teejay's year m8 he'll come out of the rest day like a beast this year. Richie poor may as well go back to the team car and pass out bottles
>>69235295
nothing has happened Joao
>>69235295
It's still a flat stage, so yeah, it will be boring. Just enjoy the views m8
EVERYONE POST YOU ARE BIKE
>>69235295
2agan broke the curse
Cantador/Contadown fell two times in a row
RIPorte as well, yesterday, a few kms before the end
No one gave up atm.

>>69235330
He had an issue with his bike actually, I think he didn’t fall
>>69235264
Fuck you. Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you and then fuck you.

Sorry, I was talking about RIPorte.
Is Peter Sagan the savior of professional cycling? I have seen a marked upturn in cycling interest even here in the South, for which a lot of people I've asked say he's been an influence
>Life is life. Life brings me things and I just take them. What can I change? I believe everybody has a destiny that is up in space or somewhere. If I'm here, I'm here.
what did he etc

>>69235383
i have girls over at the house i don't want to look like a sadcunt sitting in front of the tv literally all day besides i feel like people judge you for watching cycling whereas footy is a lot more socially acceptable
Sagan is becoming a bit of a cock. The backlash is coming.
>>69235444
kek
Danish reporter says the finish reminds him a lot of the finish at the 2011 world championships.
Cav win confirmed.
>>69235450

Y-you don't think cycling is cool ;_;
>>69235444
You don't life for be sad, no.

Why would you care what your mom's friends think?
>>69235450
well now you're being judged by us, and that is far far worse

I like how there's always fresh food and water available. Does it eat much?

>tfw a((((((((French))))))))) guy stole my precious bike a few weeks ago
was cheap as well tho
>It's Froome underperforms because they test bikes for electrical motor this year
Or maybe he'll change bike 5km before the finish like Contador
>>69235494
I was fucking shitfaced a few weeks back
Stole a helmet from somewhere, same colour as yours

>>69235546

Anyway,notice this funny thing : When I bought this bike my mom thought it was an extremely good bike,because it has the same colours of the France flag. She said " Ah,it's from Tour de France. That means it's really good "

>>69235628
looks like an EVO HiMod- I never understood the gradeschool nomenclature that Cannondale gives it's fleet but it looks nice m8. What are those wheels?
>>69235646
Nah, I really just don't like posting pic's with someone's face in here.
I know nothing bad will happen, but I just don't like it.
>>69235615
Nice try mi5
So anyway, what does /ref/ think of boulting and millar's commentary v ligget and sherwin?
I always hated ligget but I kind of miss him now ;_;
>>69235638
It was on promotion lel
But I think I got a good deal. It was 130 €
It's frame is Aluminium,so it's really light.
They said the rear dérailleur is shimano but I really doubt that
Is your bike a racer ?

>tfw don't even own a bicycle
why do i even watch this sport
>>69235674
It's not an EVO, this one is older, it's a SuperSix HiMod.
Chinese ones.
They weight something like under 1300g for the pair.
Tires are Veloflex.
>>69235680
Glad I don't have to listen to them.
Watched a few youtube clips with Liggett commentating and he was awful. Can't believe all those people talking about missing him here and on twitter.
Feels the same as Ray Hudson, someone I can only accept Americans liking.
>>69235628
>carbon tubulars on a club ride
do you enjoy being a douche?
>>69235688
Nah, it's a TT like yours
86th for SAGAN
>>69235293
I'm there with you
I've got this, but with Zonda wheels. It's my perfect bike, got it cheap enough I don't feel bad just riding it for a few miles, can thrash it over various shit if I want, but still better than I'll ever be.
Anyone here ever have any close calls with cars or motorists?
>>69235722
Some people like to have a light bike, and these are cheap wheels.
Why don't you just chill and enjoy your hobby to the fullest? I'm not pretending I'm good either.
And tbf the guy behind me in the pic had Mavic Cosmic Ultimate (actually in that pic I think he's using some R-sys). We all enjoy this shit.
>>69235772

It's a piece of junk really, never had a bike that rusted away this quick. Oh well, at least it was free (won, not stolen)
>>69235796
how close are you to death riding Chinese carbon wheels on a daily basis?
>>69235772
I was actually bumped off road by one and had another hit with a side mirror.
Nothing bad actually happened, fortunately.
>>69235772
Crashed into a car once on a downhill.
Broke a few bones and had bad road rash-not nice.
Countless close calls and minor falls involving motorists as well.
>>69235772
Got hit at dusk riding mtb across the road on the way to work, they had not lights, I had no lights. Fucking slow motion for real, everything went grey and I flew like a bird. Only got bruised legs and scrapes, the people in the car were out of their heads on ecstasy and shaking. Having been in that state many times I told them to forget about it and drive on, lel.
>>69235821
Honestly, not at all.
I actually know how to brake on descents and I have tested them a lot. The brake pads are also awesome. Surprisingly good wheels for the price, actually.
>>69235810

>Turning France TV on
>Seeing Ramzy Bedia
Fuck this pre-stage shitty show, they always cut off the beginning of the race for this.
>>69235821
>>69235858
Also, those are not my daily wheels. I mostly use Ksyrium Elite. Motherfucking tanks.
>>69235810

Fuck m8, do as I did and force everyone to watch it, they'll end up liking it.
Tbf I had it easier, I convinced everyone to watch it in the roid rage days of Armstrong, Pantani and Ullrich (my fav).
Why don't you guys have bike computers ?
They're so much fun

>flies up HC mountains like they're not even there while the rest of the field including all the overall contenders are reduced to a crawl............just like Contador, Schleck, and Armstrong
>totally clean
BULLSHIT
>>69236149
Are you implying that there is a single person here that believes that any cyclist in the TdF EVER is clean?
>>69236149
You do realise that all professional athletes aren't clean.

Downhill: I clocked 106 km/hr down Ventoux.
>>69236317

>>69236344
> Ventoux.
I'm jelly as fuck. Really really jelly.
I've done 70km/h flat behind a truck, then I got scared.
>>69235326
but I'm not Bike
>>69236344
If you've gone 40mph on the flat you're wasted shitposting on here, you should be sprinting for a top team
>7’20’’
The absolute madman
>>69236220
Started reading that thinking he'd sound like an arrogant dick now that he won the yellow, but that all makes way too much sense. I fucking swear Morkov was pushed into the rails two days ago instead of him grabbing his wheel into the rail legs like it was claimed. You can see him leaning to the right and falling into the rails. If he grabbed anything with his front wheel he would've literally flipped.
Also >>69235326 this is mine. Bit beat up but it's great around town. Should probably change the bottom bracket though since it started creaking like no tomorrow when pedaling. Also older picture, added a second bottle holder since then.
>>69236399
>you should be sprinting for a top team
Kek. Pros clock 75 km/hr in a sprint after 200 kms in their legs. I was fresh and got shit on by the other riders.
do you cunts with bikes also have cars or nah?

Not that guy, but you can take it anywhere in the city, and if you want to go out and don't feel up to a long run a train is always a viable option you know.
>>69236528
When you’re driving your car you can’t do anything but driving
The bike is healthy
The train is cheaper and you can work/watch stuff while taking it
Ayo lads been a while. Anyways as I have been trying to ask for the past summers I have noticed that some mountains have the designation HC. What do the tour arrangers mean by this?
>>69236569
Horse Category. Only horses can get up them.
>>69236569
Hors Catégorie - 'outside of category'.
It's simply the category of the highest difficulty in climbs and gets the most points.
>>69236569
Horse categories. They used to do them on horses, because it was too hard.
>>69236569
HC = Hors Catégorie, literally «off category» or «off class». The higher ones.
btw captcha is mountains
>>69236569
HARDCORE
nah they are just climbs that are tougher than Cat1, usually the 10km+ at steep gradient climbs like mountain passes.
