ahhhh a nice relaxing hour of Paris-Nice before the trauma and worry of the match at Anfield starts. The Eurosport boys are right - the new Europcar kit is rather nice.

Philippe Gilbert rode at least part of that Eroica race with a tubie around his shoulders, old tymey style:

"DeGrogorio always looks so odd when he gets out of the saddle, it's as if he's going to bang his head on the bars.... like some demented tortoise"

That was one of the greatest final 10km I've watched in a long time. Hopefully it will make it on youtube.

Amazing recovery after he nearly went over with about 1km left

Also - good to see Wiggins still hanging in there

Bobke really sucks as an announcer. Nothing insightful, mis-speaks constantly.

Voeckler thoroughly badass today

Fucking hell: just seen Gilbert's stage win in Tirreno-Adriatico - incredible stuff.

What is Cadel's body fat %, dude is incredibly lean right now. The way he made zipping up those 19% ramps yesterday look so damn easy was really unbelievable.

Anybody else watching what Fabian just did / is doing at the E3 today? Yow! Start engraving his name on the RVV and PR trophies now.

sous les paves, Saturday, 26 March 2011 15:35 (thirteen years ago) link

something very relaxing about watching Gent - Wevelghem live with Vlaamse commentary.

jesus - Cav with an off again, missed the actual incident as I'm flitting around trying to find a decent stream

problem chimp (Porkpie), Sunday, 27 March 2011 13:52 (thirteen years ago) link

the WCC video of fabian picking off all the breaks at E3 is amazing - every other strong rider has to team up and keep hitting him with attacks at flanders otherwise he'll just choose his moment and ride away.

The work of rabid Boonen fans?

Makka Pakka, eh? I suspect this story will seem less distressing on 2nd April.

in a wonderful balloon! (Nasty, Brutish & Short), Friday, 1 April 2011 20:33 (thirteen years ago) link

Wow. So, Boonen made his move, Cancellara countered, then put the hammer down, bridged to Chavannel, opened up a gap of a minute, Boonen couldn't find anyone to help him chase, game over - the same old story. Except suddenly it wasn't.

in a wonderful balloon! (Nasty, Brutish & Short), Sunday, 3 April 2011 19:09 (thirteen years ago) link

What a race!

sous les paves, Sunday, 3 April 2011 23:22 (thirteen years ago) link

what do yall think boonen was playing at there - all i can think is that he was hoping to hang onto cancellara until they caught chavanel, then they'd try to double-team him or something?

think he might've just got a bit over-excited tbh. it made the race tho!

stop whatever you're doing and watch the finale of today's pais vasco, it's fucking awesome-- pros caught out on the steepness of the final climb, walking it. even the leaders were just barely turning over.

this country is domed (Hunt3r), Thursday, 7 April 2011 22:05 (thirteen years ago) link

huh I tuned in to the last 25km this am but didn't see any walkers... do you have a particular timestamp to check?

altho there were some guys a couple days ago caught walking up the last steep pitch of the Alto de Azpiroz. it's on youtube...

City of Jorts (Steve Shasta), Thursday, 7 April 2011 22:17 (thirteen years ago) link

Stage 1 up the Antzina, watch 6:30 on... esp ~7:40

you guys are supposed to tell me when awez stuff like _pros walking it_ happens.

this country is domed (Hunt3r), Thursday, 7 April 2011 22:30 (thirteen years ago) link

it's almost as important as post-defeat butthurt happening.

basque autotranslate:
"The final part of the climb to La Antigua, with nearly 800 m close to 16% on average (and maximum gradients exceeding 20%) is a good trap."

City of Jorts (Steve Shasta), Thursday, 7 April 2011 22:40 (thirteen years ago) link

damn, forgot about Nuyens... but still Garvelo is all sorts of lol so far this year. poor vaughters, he's catching mucho heat.
