So, I watch cycling on a casual basis. I'm not clueless, but not an expert by a long shot or follow it regularly either. They just showed a clip on german telly about "motor doping", small 600 Watt engines that can help a rider if needed. Could you guys redpill me on this shit? Is this really a thing, did any of you actually see proof of this and HOW THE FUCK would this go unnoticed "for years", as they said?
>>69153623
damn
>tour de France
>doesn't make a tour de France
My autism doesn't allow me to enjoy that shit.
>>69153640
Some chick got caught with a motor during a cyclocross race.
No one from road cycling has been caught. People are speculating that the use is widespread without proof.
The UCI are testing all bikes.
>>69153640
The only actual proof is a Belgian female cyclocross rider getting caught. Everything else is guesswork. Who knows.

>>69153640
People have claimed that through thermal imaging they have seen proof of motors in the bicycles, I think the technology has been developed, but not sure if anyone has been caught with it, basically uci is trying to stop something before it starts
Based commentator talking about Michel Polnareff's birthday
>>69153702
it's because it's a nice visit of France and it's different regions as a whole
>>69153702
Weird kind of autism
>>69153735
I don't see a motor anywhere in this.
>that Chateau
Does anyone have a webm of the crash?
>>69153864
its on the official tour de france twitter

Where's Teejay the Autist today? Is he in the peleton.
Alex "hipster specs" Howes is in the front pack
>>69153899
>>69153881
Thanks
>>69153640
I personally don't think it was ever used in the pro peloton. Canal 1 put out a documentary trying to bring it to life after the femke van den driessche incident, but it seems there evidence was a recording of a bunch of sportif riders with a themal camera so take it for what you will.
The uci have been testing for it this season, and nothing has come up. Pic related.
>>69153640
Have you seen a rider called Vroom?
>>69153899
imagine the uproar if Froome had crashed at a fucking junction
>it's all right when Contador does it
Thx SBS and aus election.
Tinkoff is done after this season.. why?

>tfw band-wagoned Andy Schleck for a few years
Is he competing this year?
>>69154256
He retired two years ago.
>>69154256
He's kind of shite now m8
>you will never be a craftsman living in a small french village
why bother living
what are you losers doing in this thread? LOSERS
>contador
just give up old man, just let it all go
>>69154256
The Schleck Brothers was maybee the most obvious dope squad after Armstrong. I've never seen a single rider be so much shit after being caught.
I still remember the last Tour he competed. He was so tired he literally cycled into the ditch.
His older brother however, is still going strong for some weird reason.
>>69154303
The other thread has devolved into petty bickering AIDS
>>69154318
>weird reason
>obvious dope
>on the same post
>>69154318
>is still going strong
well he's still going
>>69154150
oleg is pulling out his team sponsorship i guess.
But one or two teams will probably step up to replace tinkoff and Iam cycling both of course departing in 2017.
Bora argon 18 has already said they are moving up to WT.
I wish I knew the current heartrate and cadence of 4 random riders. That would increase my enjoyment a lot.
that thing with the cattle was nice
>>69154302
you would have killed urself because of boredom internet nerd
>65kmph already
>literally going at 60km/h for hundreds of kilometers
>n-no doping
I like cycling but just say out loud that YES there's doping, not like it's a fucking secret or something
>>69154541
>literally going at 60km/h for hundreds of kilometers
literally doesn't happen
>>69154530
Where are you posting from?
>>69154541
first 2 hours were >40kmph. In a peloton even my mother could do this.

The other thread already exhausted 2015, now we wait.
>>69155391
We now craft new memes.
Who /cycles in front of the TV on their stationary bike while watching TDF/ here?
>yfw Quintana finishes second again
>>69155478
Not doing this right now because I'm actually building a house and can't spend money on bikes. Otherwise, I'd do it.
This will finish just in time to see Djokovic crush that yanks dreams
>>69155478
going outside later, it's actually not raining here for a change
>>69155478
Was thinking about doing this
>>69155538
Good luck :^D
>>69155538
Yeah I was just warming up sort of, about to head out and mountain bike. Take care familia

>>69155478
I have recently bought a home trainer for this very purpose. However, I'm at my dad's house this weekend so this will have to wait a few days.
>>69155538
Me too. Get two hours done before the match.

Do we know what happened in that crash at the end? Who ded?
Why is Juan Antonio dressed as a chef?
>>69156315
Morkov from Katusha was the guy who hit the rail. Apparently he "looked okay", but not sure.
god i fucking hate cavendish
this day was supposed to be perfect
i am now a lot more anxious about the italy game
>>69156390
Just checked the finish times and all the GC contenders made it (as did everyone in my fantasy team)
>no team time trial stage this year
>no prologue
What the fuck
>>69156715
Both are shit to watch and add little to the race imho desu senpai
>>69156752
I have to agree.
>>69156752
Bullshit, team time trials are fun desu.
I enjoy time trials overall.
>>69156771
In that case the tours in 1927 &1928 are for you. They were both entirely team time trials...
>>69156895
Too bad there's no time machine.
Is Sagan still 2agan? Or are we rooting for him this time?
>>69156937
Au contraire, BMC ride the time machine! [spoiler] (I hate myself for that too) [/spoiler]
2agan became Pe1er at Flanders, but looks like he's back to being 2agan. I hope he does well cause I like him but hope he comes second for meme magic
>>69157005
He P3ter now.
I missed these threads. The best /sp/ has to offer: comfy discussion and banter from all sorts of flags.
JUST
>>69156937
Sagan hasn't been 2agan since winning the worlds
>>69158166
So are we all agreed that nibbles will do nothing except attack aru on 2 or 3 stages on this whole tour?
>>69156170
all they do on reddit is complain about how sexist podium waifus are
>>69158208
no nibbles will suck for the first 2/3rds and then have a 'miraculous' comeback to win if he's not caught towing on the Astana car somewhere around stage 12
>>69158254
This reminds me, what are woman cycling podiums like?
>>69158734
I'm sure I've seen guys... which is a bit odd imho
>tfw brand new Keo carbon pedals and Catlike helmet are out for delivery
>>69158254

Morkov status uncertain. X-rays showed no fractures, but he can't walk at the moment due to a banged up leg.
