Its interesting seeing the live speed and power data and putting the pro riders into context. Them doing upto 35km/h uphill is insane, they make it look like an effortless recovery ride yet they're outputting silly power figures between 400 and 500w, which is more than I could do for a short max effort out of the saddle gasping for air."The Prince of Wales is now the King of France" - Calton Kirby0

Just got back to my desk and that is exactly how I feel! Whoop Whoop... and I'd argue this is Cannondale's first proper win in two years (not that ToC win last week).0 -
Yates drops out of the top 10...0

FFS, Rui Costa beaten on a Rui Costa stage again!0

Holy shehomets did Cannondale just win a GT stage0

Enjoyed that, was great to see Cannonade win again, the emotion on Rolland's face was great.0

Chapeau Rolland ... folks give him sh!t for some reason but he's never been on a big team but always on our screens somehow so deserves more respect ... polka shorts aside ...Life is unfair, kill yourself or get over it.0

If they guy even had 30% of Dan Martin's sense of when to attack, he'd had had multiple stage wins in multiple grand Tours by now0 -
Until last year, Rolland, and his stupid teethy big ring twit attacks really irritated me. Then I listened to JV wang on about him admiringly on Cycling Podcast and I decided to like him.
Now it seems that he's put his teeth away and stopped being a bellend... et voila! I enjoyed that win as much as I inversely didn't enjoy watching Nibali win yesterday...0 -

Agreed, he seems to go long far more often than his legs seem to suggest he is capable ... Not sure Dan Martin is the best example of smart riding though ...Life is unfair, kill yourself or get over it.0 -
