😖 they took down my Mexican connection, thanks EuroSport. 😅

A heads up if anybody wants to watch it live but no English…

…and with that, we say good bye to a PB legend! Here’s hoping he actually finishes his last one.

If there is a photo finish, possible to win by a nose hair.😜🤭

For many years the British riders were forewarned… mind the gap! 🤣🤣🤣

I don’t know which is worst? You either can’t see Jack or you can’t remain seated! Dry conditions means massive amounts of positioning before cobble sections as the dust will make it very difficult in a bunch. Sheer madness! But it’s the best one day bike race on the Planet. 👍🏻✅👀

Let’s fire up the Beta max video machine and take a few minutes back in time when 35 riders finished in 85!😬

Yes you missed it… a “beta” version. Watch this space Captain. 👍🏻 by Sunday I’ll get it Wright! 🤭

… have to back pedal to the years when he was in the thick of things… up against stronger teams and of course tactics, he could sure tell us how the game is played on the cobbles. 👍🏻

PB- it’s not the strongest who wins… we’ve seen it time and time again how the strong have failed. This is about staying out of trouble, and tactics. I think the best person who can testify to that is Robert Hunter. I’m going for an outsider, the pave has always favoured the brave! Let’s see if Fred Wright can get into the mix or do we see Kung arrive solo into the Velodrome?

What about completely re-rooting via the top tube and down the seat tube and Change the FD to an opposite pull? Then you can ditch the bottom system maybe?… ( like the FARR gravel frame)

Damn that’s a sweet ride. I’m anti 1X, because I believe real men do it with two chainrings 😂😂😂 but just because I’m a “train station” fan, you are forgiven. See what I did there <

What about the 200K plus club?

Insane and only 95 finished. 😳

Boet, you shooting blanks… or do you just have a little frost bite? 😜

1. One fantastic bank HP… 2. 100K worth of eye candy in most cases has another 100K looking right back at him or her or “it” with Bitcoin.

Did Sram actually research how many riders they intend targeting or is this to just piss off frame designers? I honestly can’t see many people fitting into this consumer market! It seems Frames went mental and now components are trying to catch up. We are slowing creeping up to the 100K groupset within 5 years. When does the customer say enough is enough…? 🤔🙈

.. I’ve heard if you go too far North, it can get cold and lonely.., just saying. 🙃

… what about the pee Zone? I do hope it was painted yellow? 🤪

Yeah… Pog won’t be able get be in n the cobbles, I recall he did however tease the fans once… but that post was him doing a recon of a tour stage. Flanders is the Belguim PB, so maybe 2024. I was looking back on the mad 85 edition were only 25 finished 👀😬, man that year is was absolutely brutal with weather, guys were walking, fans trying to help, riders punching spectators… yeah and then you seen them grind those insane large gears up the 20+ grAdient… I’ve never seen riders that broken in my life. I doubt there will ever be a Flanders like that.

I’m a cyclerpath! i dont mind a misprint but as long as my goodie bag is up to scratch but thanks for marshalling in the grammar police.👍🏻🤭

Yeah that huge one, sure changed the race… some big big hitters got hurt and I’m just not sure why guys still think it’s cool to slip up on the inside and slot in. That was a super silly move, I would enforce a 3 race ban. These guys careers are on the line every race tje enter. Just imagine if someone got so hurt that they would have to call it quits? look it’s a dangerous sport but there is a fine line between stupidity and controlled risk. Anyways, let’s hope they all stay upright at PB!😃

Nice colour… makes me wanna have a honey and mustard chicken sandwich right now…😋

Wow.. 2 yanks in the top ten! The new gen coming through look promising! PB is going to be insane this year….if what happened today is anything to go by. It’s seems Jumbo slipped on a banana today! 😂
