Jewbacca Posted May 20, 2019 Posted May 20, 2019 BAN CHAIN RINGS!!!!! #ChainRingsMustFallAre we just going to ignore how unshaven his arms are?!!! Is he even a roadie?
Shebeen Posted May 20, 2019 Posted May 20, 2019 Yes some very very good people. The biggest danger man to me in this Giro is Amador. Not to sure what the peloton was thinking letting him go that day up the road. He can hold his own in 3 weeks and in the mountains. Although I have to be completely biased and say Im hoping that Jan Polanc get a solid GC at the end depending on team orders the next bunch of days.didn't notice that, he finished 4th in the 2015 Giro! GC leader Landa is 4th best placed in his team currently, Movistar got some cards to play here

Patchelicious Posted May 21, 2019 Posted May 21, 2019 Disks are so safe they will soon be launched on toddlers balance bikes. But only here in this country will the toddler have to wait a few years before racing his balance bike at the 947 kiddies ride or run the risk of a DQ. Or a CSA fine
Dirt Tracker Posted May 21, 2019 Posted May 21, 2019 well a chainring is "disc shaped" I'd be having a word with who ever the offenders mechanic was and pulling him up about his cleanliness. That set up was filthy looking at the grease rolling up tummys leg. Standards people, standards.
Dirt Tracker Posted May 21, 2019 Posted May 21, 2019 The Gavia is looking pretty chilly at the moment. Holding thumbs that they can race up there. A lot of clearing going on to give it a best shot. With the Extreme weather protocol now in place the classic stages like Hampstens won't ever happen again and while it's a shame for folklore I can't imagine that any pro wants to go anywhere near those conditions. Spring in Italy hey? Got to love the Giro. http://cdn.media.cyclingnews.com/2014/05/27/2/pic464919515_670.jpg

Long Wheel Base Posted May 21, 2019 Posted May 21, 2019 That's easy, trying to make it work faster. Less resistance, less drag means it's faster.

Dirt Tracker Posted May 21, 2019 Posted May 21, 2019 I'm an optimist. Let's tune in to todays pan flat stage and see if the world has been turned on it's head and the usual break of local riders dangling up the road by about 3 minutes hasn't happened. I'm guessing there will be a rider from Bardiani and at least one from Nippo-Vini and maybe one from Israel Cycling. Anyone want to wager?

Pan Flat stage will only get my attention if someone yells Crosswinds!

Maybe DD should go back to Pro Conti, at least then they will attempt to be in a breakaway again.
