Wow another breakaway!

I think they've really got a winning chance today, guys!

>>76954393
thats not the point of these breakaways m8, its just for some exposure and mountain/sprint points. In some mountain stages in the 2nd and 3rd week we will see the break winning.

Richie Porte made a strategic mistake in showing his hand ahead of the decisive final climb in the fifth stage of the Tour de France, according to three-time champion Greg LeMond.
The Australian's BMC Racing team took up the pressure of controlling the peloton all day long, a move that in cycling often suggests the leader is going for the stage win.
Also: Teams take control of the peloton when they want to set up a massive sprint or when they are defending the yellow jersey.

Any thoughts /sp/
They make it sound more like politicts and international diplomacy

>>76954172
Greipel might do it

>>76954495
FULL retard move, not one break rider was a GC threat. I expect more of a seasoned and sucessful team as BMC, those were completely self-destructive and needless tactics

>>76954463

They could have avoided such a strong breakaway if they where planing for a stage win in the first place.

>>76954598
that's a big bracket

>>76954495
It was a mistake, mostly because it was unnecessary. It will have zero impact on the rest of the race though. He didn't burn his helpers up or anything.

good post

It's another Sky dominates and Froome wins the tour episode

Sagrefredo, Astana, BMC and Movistar needs to use up all their guys to try and isolate Froome. Sky needs to die, they're killing the sport.

PF do need more care.
Maybe it was all in my head., but they are much comfier for certain people that need reduced spacing between pedals.

Aight, thought it was the ASO, the UCI comissioners should be killed then.

Elbows are part of the sprint, Sagan didn't kill Cavendish on purpose.

>>76955314
literally a ploy to get a Frenchman (Demare) in green since no other French rider has fuck all chance for any other jersey honor this year

>>76955343
Spoiler alert: no one cares about the green jersey.

>>76955352
Spoiler alert: you Frenchies are notorious for pulling shenanigans on non-French riders out of evy

>>76955339
I agree.

>>76955366
So Cavendish was paid to make Sagan lose?

>>76955343
Bardet is going to win the Tour
Pinot is going to win the polka dot jersey
Démare is going to win th grenn jersey
Latour is going to win the white jersey
AG2R is going to win the team competition

And there is nothing you can do about it

>>76954975
With proper tools PFBBs really aren't any harder to work on than threaded BBs. People claim that they squek and keep making noises but I've never had a squeaking PFBB on any of my bikes. If your PFBB isn't silent then either the frame is shitty and the tolerances are off or your mechanic fucked up.

I wonder if you guys are seeing the same stuff as us on our national TV.

Cav is hooking himself behind Sagan, that's why Sagan's elbow went up, Cav is already falling at this point because he's a weak manlet.

>>76956152
We're seeing exactly the same as you.

>>76955366
and you americans are notorious for allowing doping in your major sports and being responsible for the biggest fraud to win the tour ever (until Sky finally gets caught)

Theres lots of banter and chatting going on in the peloton.
The overall contenders and their teammates are treating the stage as a recovert stage before the mountain stages of the weekend.

That is a sexy viaduct.

>>76956151
120 is the channel number for ITV4, 410 is the channel number for Eurosport. When one goes to adverts, I switch to the other.

>>76956169
major tourist commercial then. Do you have comments about the stuff you see ? we have like micro docs explaining the history of the villages, churches and castles we see

>>76956181
It's not on the BBC? I thought it was also on most public stations.

>>76956199
Yes. They always pronounce the names of things terribly and quite often get historical details wrong. It's quite hilarious.

>>76956207
BBC has Wimbly.
ITV4 is a free channel anyway

>>76956165

Everyone with a brain knows Cav caused the crash and the elbow wasn't at fault.

Unfortunately the judges are retarded.

>>76956199
Yeah, all the info about aqueducts and chapels etc is in the handbook that all the TV people get.

I like that stuff. Stops them talking about Sagan for a minute.

>>76956210
well, as long as you can see the pictures it's good

>37°C on the road

>>76956199
We have 3 guys doing the commentary.
Dennis Ritter: A sports journalist who enjoys cycling and rides a lot himself

Rolf Sorensen: Former Danish rider, you might know him? Great knowledge about the 80-90's race and riders of that era

Jorgen Leth: All knowing wisdom of an old man, who has followed the TdF for 50 years and knows almost everything about France and the Tour - He's the one talking about the areas they pass, the buildings and the history.

>>76956207

Hasn't been on BBC for as long as I remember. They've lost most relevant sporting events over the years. Wimbledon is the only Tennis Major they show, they have literally zero live European or Premiership football, zero boxing and they lost their racing and F1 a while ago too.

>>76956215
ITV4 is a commercial channel m8. Nothing is free.

>>76956258

WHAT ABOUT WHY FIE?

>>76956199
They used to concentrate more on that when >liggett was commentating. Now they leave it to David Millar and it's kind of 'he he lol we're covering this but we're so wacky and incompetent ha ha ha'
Although at least Millar can speak French with an accent.

>>76956247
that's great ! This year for the first time we have a new guy doing the commentaries about historical stuff, a well known historical journalist : Frank Ferrand and that guy is pretty interesting.

>>76956247
Nice trio, we have pretty much the same composition.
Our former officious historian used to read Wikipédia a lot, though.

>>76956271
It's been on BBC radio.

>>76956278
TdF is:
comfy
fun
relaxing and exciting at the same time
great to learn words in french and places to visit in France that are handy for pretending to be a snob in social occasions

Is there a more perfect sport/race?

>>76956278
>>76956285

Not too bad, they're phasing new guys in this year, though.

Chris Anker Sorensen has taken Rolf's spot in the commentator room for a few stages this year, he's great, as he knows a lot of the current riders personally and how everything is working and connected in the current year of cycling, contrary to Rolf, who rode 15-20 years ago.

>>76956228

When the rights were first sold in the UK the BBC had test match cricket - no room for two long, slow sports in the schedule.
Channel 4 (another non-cable channel) showed 30 minutes highlights every evening, and that was all we had on regular TV.

Then in the 90s Eurosport came along.

I bored myself halfway through this.

Brian's turning 50 tomorrow.

I'm borderline suicidal over turning 34 this year.

That said, Brian's got a job at least so I should still feel vindicated in my underlying desire to die.

>>76956227

Somehow Lance Armstrong got the race handbook. It has phone numbers for the race judges. He joked that he would ring them after the Sagan disgrace.

>>76956417
He would have cucked Cavendish on every occasion, not simply to win but just to break all of Cav's hope's dreams and desires.

>>76956415
Is Brian your man?

Definitely been down for way longer than 4 hours. But still sucks.

At least tomorrow will probably be comfy as well.

4,5 to be precise

in for the highlights

Demare trying to do a Cavendish was pretty funny

Every time a board gets frozen, there is something going on that can't handle the daylight.
Hello NSA, DGSE or SIS, i really loved Rik Mayall, don't kill me Britbongs.

Yeah Sagan sucks dicks.

B-but the classics..
Normies don't watch that.

>>76957052
Actually, Danish tv show did a test and beards don't do much regarding aero. Practically 0 difference, whereas shaving your legs gives a surprisingly large benefit. Probably because they're in front of your face where all sorts of weird turbulence stuff will be going on regardless.

>>76957344

If your GOAT in belgium your most likely the GOAT-GOAT. I only understand about 10% yet i enjoy them. For me it's Thomas Bay & Brian Holm. It's probably the dou with most combined knowledge because Bay was 2 year pro with motorola (he was neo pro with neopro-lance) and Brian Holm is director on Quick Step.
