No one else seems to have made one edition.
Today's stage: Arpajon-sur-Cère - Montauban (195km)
2 3rd category climbs, 1 4th category climb - not likely to have much happening, likely a mass sprint again.
Yellow Jersey - Greg Van Avermaet
Green Jersey - Peter Sagan
Mountain Jersey - Thomas Degendt
White Jersey - Julian Alaphilippe

Sorry I was busy, can’t make thread today. Also can’t watch. Have a nice stage everyone.
Looks like a missed quite a bit yesterday.
who is watching this before mountain stages?
will tune in later to see if Cav wins
>>69322988
I'm mostly watching for the comfy landscapes senpai.
That and the Belgian domination.
I think it's gonna be a Greipel vs. 2agan episode
is the dream over?
afternoon, lads
dubs and cavenshit gets dropped on the first hill
The Prime Minister of Denmark has offered to host 1-3 stages in Denmark 2019, 2020 or 2021. What do you think about having a TdF Prolouge in the beautiful Kingdom of Denmark?
We did host the first 3 stages in the 2012 Giro d'Italia
thank you based Karma for reking Contador
>>69323251
Where would the prologue be, Copenhagen?
A coastal stage would be good-we might get some echelons.

>>69323251
>beautiful Kingdom of Denmark?
Im sorry, what?
>>69323251
Isn't Denmark 99% flat? It'd be a mass sprint prologue then. Mite b cool if there was enough countryside/sights of Denmark I guess, but not very exciting.

I'll be back later to see Cav win

ITS TOUR DE FRANCE NOT TOUR DE BUMFUCK NOWHERE OUTSIDE OF FRANCE
>>69323342
Attacking Andy Schleck when his chain fell off late in the 2011 Tour mountain stages and getting a race-winning time gap thereafter, cowardly move that he will never live down. Plus, doping
>>69323378

>Attacking Andy Schleck when his chain fell off late in the 2011 Tour mountain stages and getting a race-winning time gap thereafter, cowardly move that he will never live down.
Andy shifted gears while attacking, he deserved what he got. Tactical error isn't the same as a crash. Anyway, Andy did the equivalent that same tour on the cobbled stage.
>Plus, doping
Never tested positive.
>>69323447
Well yeah, there's 30 km of light descent / flats after the final hill, any attackers will be caught by the peloton there
This is 100% ending in a mass sprint
>>69323389
That was a dick (alpha) move but somehow Berto is more likable than the rest of the currently riding GT winners. I would bandwagon Nibali but he is too inconsistent. Anyways Schleck officially won that Tour (2010) so why aren't you happy? :^)
>>69323513
>Berto is more likable than the rest of the currently riding GT winners
Are you serious? Quintana is handedly the most likeable contender of the last few years, the man came from poor farmers in the Colombian mountains and is charmingly humble

But he's too defensive. Contador attacks whenever he can. Quintana's personality is also quite sterile.
awww the cute little colombians :3
>>69323573
>Quintana's personality is also quite sterile
You're conflating humility with monotony. Plus Quintana is a well-rounded cyclist and makes mountain attacks all the time, what are you on about

>>69323543
Quintana only won the Giro because the organizers fucking up the neutralization. So wouldn't you be mad at him for cucking Uran Uran like that?
Froome actually is pretty interesting off the bike, too bad none of that comes through and I had to read his book. Froome is stronger than Nairo when he doesn't get sick, too. >>69323608
reminder
Good afternoon, how was everyone's morning ride?
>>69323608
>Quintana is a well-rounded cyclist and makes mountain attacks all the time, what are you on about
So does Froome, that doesn't make him an attacking rider. Also, Quintana isnt as "well-rounded" as Contador, Nibali or even Froome. He's a poor descender, bad on short steep climbs, has no acceleration(relative to the other big 3) and is poor on flat time trials.
>>69323766
Are you straight-facedly saying Froome isn't an attacking rider?
And Quintana is a terrific descender.
Weird.

Relative to Contador? No. He attacks in the last 6km of a mtf, not really a great feat.
>And Quintana is a terrific descender
What? Stage 20 last year he was caught by Froome. He's good technically, but his lack of power is obvious.

yes, I spotted a group of road bikers who were not even old and looked quite fit (faggots even had their legs shaved) and I blew past them on a climb on my heavy battleship. Always good fun to do that, but they probably spotted my tanlines so they must have known whats up.

Why do you guys use Strava ?
Why not Runtastic ? It's more based desu
>>69324269
This, the tour should go there every year
>>69323712
he did cane it on the descent, which was sneaky, but after that stage he was 1'41" up on GC but finished the Giro 2'58" up
G'day lads, what did I miss so far?
>>69324350
Because strava also measures your penis, you newfag
i was up before 11 this morning. i don't know how those working squares do it every day
>>69324311
shit average speed desu
>>69324350
Why is runtastic better? Honest question. I'm looking for something other than strava.

Yesterday's climbs- http://www.climbing-records.com/2016/07/the-first-selection-in-massif-central.html?m=1
Peloton is on average faster than the epo days.
At least 25 riders were sustaining power above 6.2 watts per kg.

>>69324389
when you are still up at 6 am and you watch all the wageslaves coming online on facebook and skype
>>69324404
But I'll tell you straight away that Runtastic has a far more simpler interface,without a bunch of useless features that strava has,like those groups,feeds,profiles and store. It does not,however,have the challenges part. You can challenge yourself,though only with the PRO version.
>>69324448
>having to wear sunblock on your whole body for marginal cooling gains

>>69324464
don't recall the details of 2004 but 2011 was a breakaway, makes sense that a fast-charging GC group would btfo Hoogerland & Vockler
>>69324478
Just three but the third gear is giant. Literally can't get it going from standstill when hanging on it with full bodyweight.

>>69324566
this is the runtastic post training interface. It shows all this data that you see.
It evens put it on graphs.
I never tried Strava tho,I installed it because it connects with Lose it! and got really confused by it.
I recommend you try it Runtastic. There's a version for Mountain bike and another for Road Bike. Choose the one that suits you lol
Maybe i'm just used to runtastic,I started using it when I went for runs like 3 or 4 years ago.

>>69324681

>>69324695
>It's a fucking cycling facebook

>>69324609

>>69324720
Basically this:
>>69324750
There is no point in Strava other than to measure your penis vs friends and ppl who ride in the same places you do.
There are loads of better cycling software.
>>69324720
It pretty much is this. Most of my friends on strava link it to Instagram so there are pictures associated with rides. Strava captures a lot of data, but has a lot of social media nonsense. Why I'm trying to move away from using it.
>>69324784
fug it's completly useless then
>>69324784
Your online cycling penis is the most important thing.
Nothing to see here, just Greipel coming throgh
>>69323745

>>69324797
Just use any app that tracks your data and then use this: SportTracks
It's actually good.

I use Garmin sensors/head unit instead of a phone so my rides are uploaded there first by necessity, then cross-posted to Strava. my riding goals are just getting faster rather than any specific races/skelliness so I am mainly interested in avg. speed and PRs. Strava handles that well and it's all I've been using since I got vaguely serious in 2012
>>69324647
I like it, but it'd be nice with a constant 4% gradient to slow them down for extra comfiness

Wait, are those motorcycle riders? Think Rossi rings a bell. If so, you might want to think again considering how shit some of the motorcycle riders in here are sometimes. Who was that guy that's in a coma now because of motorcycles?

Yeah, we had similar roads here, but since we're trying to kiss the ass of everyone in the EU and stroke our dicks with the roads, they extended quite a bunch of older roads and cleared the trees from the sides. And sure, they're faster and safer and all that, but they feel boring as shit.

Don't have a bottle support on the vertical pipe but do have an attachment so can still carry two. Did try to find triangle pouches but only ones I could find were too damn tiny. Guess I'll check ebay as well even if it is a bit easier to just go to a damn store and get one.
>>69326597
you guys go to the bathroom or fill your bottles in the " air + water " area ?
>>69326595
But cycling jerseys fit a purpose.
They are the way they are to carry shit and to be comfortable while ridding a bike.
>>69326636
no gas stations in the US are always little stores that sell mass quantities of junk food so theres always bottled water available
>>69326635
Go to a big Chinese store,if you have them there. It will probably be the same thing you find on ebay without having to wait a month for it
The price doubles tho

Cycling is pretty insignificant as a televised sport. I doubt there's that much money in it, even post-Sky.
Over here anyway, it's probably a bit more popular on the continent.
holy shit. what a baby
>>69327984
Because Chris is weak af atm
>>69327988
The EPL and F1 do, that much I know. Cycling is a total mess by comparison. It's outrageous that the teams have to run virtually all off sponsor deals.
>>69327993
>the truth
So Cav is the best in "real races"? He's better than Kelly, Cancellara, Boonen, Merckx?
>>69327860
Running a GC contender cycling team will never be profitable. If the teams get more of the money they'd use it to pay their staff and riders more. If they didn't other teams willing to spend more would attract the best ones.
>>69328067
lol
he's right
Moviestar is one of the most hated teams in the peloton because of their dirty tactics
>>69328116
Also one of the most incompetent teams when it comes to tactics.
They had last years tdf in the bag if they didn't resort to Movistar tactics.
>>69328172
Thats because Valverde is a fucking retard with retard strength whos so good they keep him around but never sticks to the script of what the team wants
>>69328116
riding a hard tempo is not "dirty".
and they're certainly not doing it because of how popular and handsome alberto fucking contador is
>>69328213
Valverde is a champ and he is helping Quintana 100% at this years tdf.

>>69328359
they have a reputation for being unscrupulous in making attacks precisely when its 'ungentlemanly' to do so...IE quintana attacking in the 2014 giro when there was confusion if the stage was neutralized or not
>>69328531
fair enough, ive always seen their tactics as stupid, like the 30-25km hard push they do for no reason...
Their tactic in the Giro of putting a man in the breakaway, who then sits at the side of the road and has a 5 minute rest when the GC guy wants to launch an attack was pretty good imhotbhfam
