I thought he was just exhausted and starting to seize up, and my wife thought he'd had a problem changing gear. Nice to see what actually happened.[url=http://www.bikeradar.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=19712518#p19712518]greasedscotsman[/url] wrote:

Even got a snap of Boonen especially for Rick:-)
So, Navardauskas. His Lithuanian fed wouldn't pay for riders to go to Richmond or provide any support there. His gf handed up bidons etc yday. Even more kudos for his podium.
Brilliant effort from Navardauskas. He's been coming on recently, it'd be great to see a good year from him in 2016.

that was rather good, very popular winner not just from the True Fans but also the peloton too by the looks of things.
Noticed he was back on his old Venge too, not been a particularly successful launch of the new model!
According to Road.cc it was a Tarmac. I suspect for the "best balance of cobble taming comfort, hill flattening light weight with aero touches for free speed in the final moments of your breakaway!"

My french is far from perfect but I could get the gist with my GCSE level skills - I though this was a really nice little article - http://www.lequipe.fr/Cyclisme-sur-route/Actualites/Pourquoi-peter-sagan-est-il-aussi-champion-du-monde-de-la-popularite/594397We're in danger of confusing passion with incompetence

Does video footage of race for 2nd exist or is Sagan's camera magnet too strong?0

I wondered why she had walked over the line. I'd assumed a mechanical. She could realistically have hoped to be in a medal position.BASI Nordic Ski Instructor

Good point! How the hell did she manage to snap the hanger, the cable and presumably the derailleur cage all in one go?0 -

As well as the racing...
Sank a fair few beers with a mate of Phil Deignan's to celebrate Lizzie's win
Ran into JV (who I know a bit - its a long story) and had a chinwag
Had a chattette with Molly Weaver's bro
After 5 mins of chatting with strangers roadside during yday's race, found myself at a party, in front of a free bar and grub all afternoon, overlooking the race route. Good times...
Also, took LOADS of photos. But I need someone like NoT A Doc or dish dash or anyone who follows me on Twatter, to post the bloody things cos I am rubbish at managing to upload them here0 -
Pleased to see Navardauskas on the podium. Liked him since he joined in the banter on Caerphilly Mountain a few years ago!
Yeh I quite like him as well. He's one of those "strong as an ox" riders.
So the last 3 world champions have gone on to have a pretty poor season the following year. Can Sagan buck the trend?
He's got form. can do the lot and podiumed in a champs elysee sprint last year i think (or came 4th) so no doubt he can sprint.0 -
53 second places.[url=http://www.bikeradar.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=19712396#p19712396]disgruntledgoat[/url] wrote:Fun facts, I found a ranking of best rainbow jersey seasons yesterday. Merckx tops it with 53 victories in (I think) 1972. Cav made top ten with 19 too.
How do we think Sagan will go?

Joy for cycling fans globally. I absolutely loved that....a rare 100% loyal Pro Race poster. A poster boy for the community.
Just realised that signature is a quote. I'm flattered.
Perhaps we need to play user quote bingo. You've definitely got a bit frenchfighter going on there, but I can't quite place the 2nd sentence0 -

With all that chinwagging / chattetting / chatting / drinking you'd fit in well at the BR drinks in London.0 -

Sagan's speech was a bit reminiscent of the end of Rocky IV wasn't it? "If I can change, you can change, everyone can change!"
Chapeau though, great finish.0 -

You're quite right. I didn't know Kirby was plagiarising frenchfighter.0 -

Ward Theuns and Sean de Bie will be worth a punt on the same basis next year, I reckon.
I may just put the whole of the Gent training bunch in next year. Keisse, Theuns, Benoot, De Backer... Stijn Steels and Dimitri Claes may be stretching it a bit though."In many ways, my story was that of a raging, Christ-like figure who hauled himself off the cross, looked up at the Romans with blood in his eyes and said 'My turn, sock cookers'"
