/cyc/ Giro stage 15

>>76041557
>10 second "break"
>Half the flat part of the stage is almost over

Really? Really?

>>76041582
2agan's such a character. No wonder everyone likes him.

Wow that does look exactly like the Lombardy

>>76041582
>Go to cheer on your favourite riders
Pretty cool
>Bring a huge USAUSAUSA flag
Okay.
>Act like complete retards with pokemon costumes and inflatable waffles
WHY?!?

>>76041660
Are you perhaps new to cycling? Should see the crows from the TdF then.

That has to be the dumbest of eurosport's adds. Can't even meme it in any way, it's just plain terrible.

Also
>All of the guys in the break are already on support bike bottles but only one for each
>All because the peloton doesn't let them go over a minute so their team's support cars can resupply them

What the actual fuck? There's over 100km left, cut it the fuck out.

>>76041946

The peloton is literally trying to kill them through dehydration.

>>76041946
It's like they tried to meme up the ad but failed miserably.

>Average speed
>52.2

What the actual fuck?

>Gaviria tries for a break

Haha, oh wow.

cannondale missed it AGAIN??

>>76042199
Get back on the front, boys.

There we go, fucking finally. Based Gaviria actually made it in as well.

>the country of cannondale

>>76042411
Wait, I heard only a couple of teams missed the huge break we got. Let me guess, Cannondale was one of them?

So this break going all the way right?

>>76042523
50/50 I reckon.

I can see Orica (and Cannondale) chasing it down after a bit of a rest.

> multipe Cannondale riders dropped

how do my fellow dutchbros watch this online? i thought >nos had streams but apparently not

>>76042814
they finally made it into a group though

>>76042814

Not surprising, weren't they the ones trying to pull the previous breakaway back, succeeding and not getting anyone into the new one?

>>76042816
Tiz-Cycling always has streams up

>>76042816
It's only on Eurosport

>Dutch Eurosport finally starts airing the Giro
>Immediate commercial break

Fuck I miss based Sporza

How much difference is there between different bike/gear manufactures?

In Formula 1 for example there is a huge difference between different manufactures. But how much difference does it make for the riders using different gear (mainly bikes I guess) manufactures?

wew, they're 21 minutes ahead of the fastest time schedule.

>>76042951
not much, it's 99% down to the rider

>>76042951
bikes - they're all riding awesome bikes.
in time trials things like clothing, helmets, and the bike make a much bigger difference - but again, all the leading teams are using awesome equipment.

>>76042951
On normal road bikes it really doesn't matter who makes your bike. When it comes to TT/tri bikes there can be some noticeable differences as aerodynamics matter much more.

Gaviria cracks

Just tuning in guys.
What has happened so far?

>>76043054
100km of full-on racing.
5km of rest.
back to full-on racing.

Been a fun stage.

>>76043054
They've been going full gas from the start.

>With US customer service.

Is that a good thing?

Cabal abandons

>>76042951
every victory in cycling is deserved and earned since the differences in aero drag/stiffness/set-up of the frames and bikes are almost negligible across the top manufacturers, whereas F1 races are determined by the first corner or in the pits

>>76042999
>>76043028
>>76043041
>>76043131
Okay, cool. Sounds very logical with the TT and aerodynamics.
That sounds pretty good. It's much more interesting to watch a sport if you know that the winning athlete actually is the best, and not just the best out of those who have the best equipment. I'm sure tactics and teammates matter as well, but anyways.

Thanks for the info!

>whereas F1 races are determined by the first corner or in the pits
Yeah, that has not been an interesting sport for a number of years now.

Just woke up, anything important I missed?

>>76043188
Not really. Fun stage so far, but nothing serious happened as yet.

the commentator tryharding on the pronunciation of international names cracks me up

Absolutely. Much better than sticking them behind barriers. Imagine Dutch corner with Dumoulin in yellow.

is there any person that most riders in the peleton don't like? Outside of Nacer Bouhanni who seems to be disliked by all

As long as they're not complete idiots I don't see a problem
People flailing their arms about or running in between riders instead of alongside them should be shot though

>>76043346
voeckler is supposedly unpopular. who really knows though.

amador (i think) down

>>76043414
Quintana

Quintana down, damn

I'm drinking that Geuze I was talking about yesterday and it is blowing my mind big time right now.

This literally doesn't smell or taste like anything I've had before

CAN'TANA IS DOWN!

And the fucking assholes at Movistar stopped their car like fucking idiots.

Are they waiting for Quintana? If so why? They didn't wait for kruijswijk last year.

>>76043506
It's a climb, they couldn't actually dash that much even if they found out.

>queen stage on a Tuesday

why would you do this

>>76043438
I know right? There's a whole world of wild beers to explore. Famous are the Belgian lambics and reds, but in The Netherlands you should keep an eye on Tommie Sjef, Eanske, and also some of Oersoep.

Cheers!

>>76043587

it should be today

>>76043438
Good for you. Try that Rodenbach next, although Geueze is steen as the pinnacle by many

>>76043587
So Swiss anon can go watch it.

>>76043629

Well, you guys warned me... I'll give the Rodenbach Grand Cru a go next!

Right now I can't say that I like this, it's not undrinkable and I can see why people like it but not for me I guess.

>>76043672
Thinking of bringing a sign

>>76043705

bring a costume

>>76043438
I like oude geuzes

>Most expected descent of the stage
>Shove in Nibbles explaining it on half the screen just as it starts

Couldn't they have done that before it fucking started? Jesus fuck.

>>76043941
They do the same with THANKS JUAN and stage finishes.

>>76043919
give me a suggestion

writing >RIP PINOT will get me arrested for making a threat probably lel

That was fucking close. Rolland almost skid on that left corner there.

rip the city of canondale

Holy fuck! What the fuck was that? Guy from Cannondale literally flipped, and one from Sky looked seriously battered.

That comedy slow motion crash from Formolo

Eurosport has also beat out our national broadcasting coorporation for the rights to the Olympics. Someone has to stop these cunts.

Just be a good goy and buy Eurosport player already.

How are Sky such a fast team yet individually they are such incompetent riders?

>>76044118

>>76044091
Laurent Brochard was the GOAT descender.

>Rolland
Lol wtf

>>76044236
Asking for a gel

>French rider
>ever not complaining

>>76043994
Just make a nice sign praising his attacking intent and that you believe in him. He needs our support so he doesn't mentally crack again

>>76044258
Under 20km though, so he'll probably get fined for it.

>>76044258
Wasn't he flipping the car off?

>>76043994
Bring a 2x2m poster of lotta lepistö

>>76044280
Nah the stage has been crazy, they'll allow it for sure.

>>76044301
Almost 100% sure he was asking for a gel

If Time Trial bikes are so much better, why don't they use them on every stage?

>>76044315
I approve this message

>>76043994
A spurdo with his uniform?

>>76044334
My mistake then, move along

jesus christ

Kangert down

Shame, he was riding solid yet anonymous GC top 10

Jesus fuck, Kangert, what are you doing? Holy shit, that was fucking insane. Jesus fuck, hope he's alright.

>>76044353
They're only allowed on time trial stages.

Holy fuck Kangert could have died there

>Estonian riders in charge of not hitting road signs

RIP Kangert

Kangert is kill

Jesus fuck, that was brutal. At least he was catapulted over that street sign. Hitting that would've made it even worse.

Shit son.

>>76044505
Show it to Flávio Gomes. He likes this kind of stuff and put pictures in your blog.

Oh wow, so Tom really did slow the peloton down when Can'tana fell. And that's after Movistar stepped on the gas when most of Sky fell due to that moto at the start of the tour. Based Tom.
