Watched it live, what a group of 4 that was. Great stuff

 

Milan  San Remo, Paris Roubaix and 2 rainbow jerseys. Quite the season

Imagine if he gets the MTB XCO too!  First male Elite rider ever to do it.

IMO I don't think he will.  I think Sunday would have taken a lot out of him, plus he hasn't ridden any of the World Cup rounds at all so will be gridded quite far back.

I don't really watch the MTB so don't know much about. Going to tune in for this  though

Pidcock, MVDP and God, AKA Nino Schurter.  A total boner fest!  Makes Sven look like Sloth.

@spongebob toonpantswow. Just fucking wow. To watch Pidcock win today's world's in front of a home crowd is spectacular. 

 

When he was 16 I raced against him. He was superb then on the MTB. Technically he was head and shoulders above anyone.  I've raced against him on the road. Again he was head and shoulders above. 

 

Today I went to the Ineos truck with a mutual friend. We were invited in. I had a chat with Pauline Ferrand Prevot. Then Tom and our mutual friend had a laugh. He won and wow. What a champ. He's come on leaps and bounds and emotional saying this but he's a legend now.

That sounds like a great fucking day. I watched it and what a performance!! Breathtaking

I was in Glasgow yesterday and saw the road races 

First time I've been to Glasgow. Spent most of it looking at the architecture. Fuck me. Some absolutely stunning buildings. What a city.

Looks like Morkov is signing for Astana as well.

Strapping in for another year

Cav's also back with his old coach from QS days.

Just fucking retire Cav.  I love you but man, this just feels too far

I mean I can drive something a tonne and a half close to you whilst all you're wearing is a pair of undies and see how you react

@wykikitoon your boy just played a blinder in the Amstel Gold

 

The finish of the lasses race was fucking hilarious. Wiebes crossing the line arms aloft only to let Voss to steal on the line

Have you watched LBL?

I must say Amstel has been the best Men's race this year.  The rest have been a fucking snooze fest.  The Women's racing has been fucking superb.

Its almost Giro time, someone always get's popped before, so I hope it's Pogi, that cunt deffo has a motor lol

Jumbo have had fuck all luck this season.

DVB and Kruiswijk both out after that crash. DvB is a massive rider for them in the Tour so hopefully nothing serious.

Albeit moot as Poggi will have an upgraded motor by then anyways.

Cavendish is to be knighted. 

 

I fucking loathe the establishment and tbh if I was a sportsman I would politely decline any honour. 

 

Cav is a fucking beast and has given me so many great memories. He's a legend. 

 

But

 

Sinfield?

I've had to be on total media lockdown as I couldn't watch live. Just watched the last hour convinced he didn't have a chance and it was a tour too far, and he fucking smashed it.

Not gonna lie I'm a bit teary
