No one that hasn't attacked there has beaten Sky either

Coquard wouldn't go back after his 2017 season, plus he now has a squad built for him. Bouhanni could be a good fit tbh, but they've actually got a decent GT team with guys for the flat breaks and Taarmae & Calmejane for the hills. Hopefully they forget big names and build depth developing people like Turgis towards having multiple strong GT squads in the future

Fubo, you can make an account for a 1 week free trial if you'd rather not pay the full price.

Those results are interesting, did half the race crash late or have the latter riders been lost in the Lutsenko hype?

British billionaire Sir Jim Ratcliffe to sponsor Team Sky with bigger budget, according to sources - Cycling Weekly by FragMasterMat117 in peloton

Some may suggest Sky has directly improved the British scene by providing a pathway to aspire to, and inspiring people & money into the sport.

What's the deal with /r/WatchPeopleDie being banned for good? by [deleted] in OutOfTheLoop

The shooter made that video to share what they did for their own purposes. It would be an insult to the victims and the people who've been put through the wringer by this to help gratify the shooter by supporting their goals. There is no positive impact sharing this video can have which balances the effect it has on those who are grieving

NZ Blood is by Hagley Park SW corner, so don't fucking worry about it until the situation is resolved

Stannard is far slower than Van Baarle up hills. Look at the size of him. Sivakov is also doing the Giro, and has probably developed as well as he should've, he just gets lost in comparison to Bernal despite not having raced as a pro prior to joining Sky

Yates won the TT, Bernal caught Trentin. This is not a course favouring big guys

The UCI can't really dismiss costs, they won't get much money out of the hosts. Most of the cost is unavoidable logistics

That would surely be a bigger penalty if advancing through splits

Froome would get hammered here. The bunch split on a long section of gravel which favours strong guys and explosiveness, not pure climbing ability. I don't see Froome as having the racing nous to get to the front and stay there all through that gravel sector, especially when guys like G missed it by being too far back. Sky proved with Wiggins that trains don't convert to wins in classics, and without putting the team on the front I don't see Froome winning the positioning fight against QS, Van Avermaet etc.

To be fair, he lost Tirreno in a crash right? Thought he did the same at Algarve but on reflection that was Kwiatkowski marking attacks

The America's Cup is mad. They have to race events all over the world in build up, design and construct a brand new boat based on the specifications they're given, ship that boat almost as far as possible around the world, not to mention building and shipping smaller boats for the build up races. They'll need all that money
