Hinault - no disqualification ;-)

Ha. You didn't fuck with the Badger. In fact, you still don't - he pushed an imbecile off the podium a few years back3

Initial reaction was it was excessively harsh. 5-6 years ago you'd have to punch someone to get kicked off. Looking at it again and thinking of recent years I'm not surprised. What would have been racing incidents seem to now be punished by the commisary.
Hard to tell on the chronology but looked like it started when Rowe and Thomas were blocked and forced to the gravel. Then Rowe moved Kruisjwijk off the Jumbo pack into the peloton.
Not sure if it'll make a defining difference as Jumbo and Ineos will want FDJ to hurt Quick Step. If Wout Poels is off again that's the factor for Ineos.0 -

Two days left for Alaphilippe
Not surprised he managed to get back on to that main group0 -

That was good viewing, don't normally watch live racing that much but I picked a good day to change that.0

Dunno yet... He couldnt cope with the Galibier and would have lost time today had it been a Mountain finishAddickted said:

Tomorrow is a bit of the same but Saturday will really see if he has the legs as guess there will be desperation attacks0 - Sponsored links:

He topped out about 20 seconds behind his main challengers. He would have still been in yellow if that had been the end of todays marathon.0

Would they have attacked sooner though?Addickted said:He topped out about 20 seconds behind his main challengers. He would have still been in yellow if that had been the end of todays marathon.0 -
As I said, Saturday anyone? Epic two days coming up....1

Colin, DIGAF that you know more about cycling than me, or that I am not fully conversant with Wiggin's history? He may have been in road teams pre 2009 but was a track cyclist primarily. Beijing two gold medals or TdF? At his peak he was a recognised ITT specialist. JA is not. His improvement is not natural and the recent disqualifications lead me to believe that he will be not be scrutinised properly on that issue.0

Anyone still think it's legit? 🙄0

you claimed that he was a track cyclist in 2007 but he really wasn't. in 2007 he was a road cyclist (and had been since 2005) who raced on the track a couple of times that year, he just happened to be quite successful on those returnsharveys_gardener said:Colin, DIGAF that you know more about cycling than me, or that I am not fully conversant with Wiggin's history?

Yet he won two golds in Beijing in 2008. Where do you think his priorities lay? But my comments were about Alaphilippe. Colin introduced Wiggins to justify the former's improvement.rina said:

Whether it's Ulrich climbing like a time triallist, Jalabert and Armstrong climbing like a sprinter, or Contador yo yoing like a blood bag on a spring, I've never seen anyone cycle like that.Leroy Ambrose said:Anyone still think it's legit? 🙄
How can you not hold or match watts/weight power, but sprint back on out the saddle on the inside of turns and switchbacks at 2500m? The commentators didn't even mention it. Still the descent was fun for a couple of k's.
That is something very different unless I'm missing something and it ain't fooking ketones. Perpetual motion bb?0 -
Looks like Pinot's hopes are over
Just had to drop back to the Team Doctor for some serious attention where he completely stopped and is 2mins 42sec behind the Yellow Jersey group
Apparently his FDJ team mates knew he had a problem as didnt bother stopping when he slowed0 - Sponsored links:
