Early Season observation bants subthread:

  1. Bahrain Victorious is an even more hilariously ridiculous name than the Grenadiers. I love it.
  2. Would be really great if one of the defo-not-on-drugs three of WVA, MVDP or JALAP could win the Tour.
  3. Meanwhile.
  4. Will Wiggins lose his Knighthood if he was on drugs?
  5. Where is Rigoberto Uran?
  6. Team Bikeexanchge looks and sounds nothing like Orica. They’re dead to me.
  7. Good to see AG2R (or whatever they’re called now) change their kit finally. Sorry to see though that the colour they got to lose was the more pleasing colour so now they’re just brown. WHY? Yes yes, because of the sponsors, but WHY HAS ANY COMPANY IN THIS DAY AND AGE GOT BROWN IN THEIR BRAND ANYWAY???!!!
  8. When does the skiing season finish? My brain can’t quite fathom switching between cycling and skiing due to the weather on show.

He’s just had a baby. Well, not him, but you get the gist.

Traditionally winds down soon after Easter. But varies from resort to resort dependent on altitude, size etc. Pretty much everywhere closed by early May.

Think Jumbo look way less cool now they’re not riding those celeste Bianchis. Team ‘Bike Exchange’ have bastardised them and they look crap.

#247

Agreed.

Also come to a heavy realisation this week that Carlton says “This is FANTASTIC!” every time anything interesting happens. Every time.

  1. Don’t think I can take much more of Kirby, he’s unbearable

  2. WVA to be given a team leader role at a GT this summer please

  3. luxembourg and netherlands jerseys are the same, shouldn’t be allowed

  4. I think Simon Yates is Kirby’s new Rigoberto Oran, he must have told about his cramp 40 times today.

  5. Where is Froomy?

  6. Must be annoying to be someone like Guillam Martin who is really really good but never going to win a single race because he’s not a superhuman like the other 10 or so around at the moment.

Froomey seems to spend most of his time posting pictures to the internet of himself doing a thumbs up on a bike or showing off a new injury in some nice part of the world. Fair play to him.

agree with point three. Also makes you realise how shit the Luxembourg flag is compared to the Netherlands.

#255

Tirreno adriatico seems mad today, cant work out what’s going on

#256

On I’ve worked it out, mvdp is going for it off the front from 50km+ out, because… he feels like it?

#257

The cyclo-cross rider’s way of keeping warm

Wva looks like he is crying :cry:
