Hey /cyc/, my dog died 2 weeks ago so I've been pretty much dead since then, what happened in this Vuelta so far?
Checked the ranking to see Froome in front, does it look like he can win it this year?

Daily ritual to enjoy pleasantly this stage

Over 2000m, froome probably had his extra oxygenated blood transfusion this morning.

>>77925207
Some doméstique shall bring an oxygen tank to Froome during the stage

Bardet will win today.
You say it here first.

>>77925220
lol

Also, how was the morning ride lads?

>>77925275
Did not ride this morning because i don't like riding in the rain.

>>77925275
Back wheel still broken, new ones on the way, so no ride for me today

Froomey's got this

Juan is looking good and comfy in that sweater

thanks, carlton

How does the combined classification work? I'm confused because the rider with less points wins

>>77926108
This classification is calculated by adding the numeral ranks of each cyclist in the general, points, and mountains classifications (a rider must have a score in all classifications possible to qualify for the combination classification), with the lowest cumulative total signifying the leader of this competition.

How can someone's favourite fruit be lingonberries??

>>77926161
>lingonberries
Try it with elk, tastes good

>>77926132
Thanks german bro! Yesterday you said I only need to register to Eurosport to watch online but they ask me for money.

>>77926165
But favourite though? Better than mango, strawberries, pineapple etc? Madness!

>>77926182
Who was the rider that said it?

>>77926190
It wasn't a rider, just something I saw on a TV show. Thought I'd share the news with you all.

>>77924943
anyone have a stream to link?

Where the fuck is my boy Bardet?

adam - dark shoes
simon - white shoes

it's not fucking hard

>>77926380
TIL Bardet is in the breakaway

Good list

>>77926171
do they? sorry, it's free in germany and i assumed it was the same all over europe

>>77926507

Pear is easily top 15

>>77926507
6. Peach
19. Nectarine

I just don't understand what you've done here

>>77926507
>14. Avocado
Should be out of top-100, if it even belongs on the list. Honestly not even a fruit. Avocado is pretty disgusting unless used for guac. My hate for avocado runs deep.

>>77926562
Pears are horrible mushy shit
Also I don't know why bananas are anywhere near the top desu

>>77926507
breadfruit is bestfruit yet not even listed baka

>>77926595
why are you talking shit, mate?

>>77926595
Bananas are god-tier, what are you talking about? The literal only problem with bananas is their tiny ripeness window.

>>77926507
Mango is the best fruit desu

Cycling thread turns to a fruit discussion thread

>>77926590
I fucking love avocado, most underrated fruit EVER (with lemon)

>>77926668
i fucking love roast potatoes. they're not a fruit!

>>77926687
I suppose it's probably botanically a fruit, but culinary-wise it feels like a vegetable. And honestly if you get up on botanically defining fruit you're a pedantic arsehole.

>>77926507
Ranked based on what? Taste or also other factors like price, availability & how easy it is to eat? Taste of bananas is okay but i like them more because they are cheap year round and easy to eat.

For taste alone mango's, dates & strawberries are very nice.

For me, it's the female melon

>>77926161
Because they're so versatile. They go well with a lot of stuff, both savory and sweet. Also they're easy to preserve as they don't mind being frozen like some other berries.

Bardet ignored the water guy :(

>>77926878
james milner is versatile. beige paint is versatile.

>>77926924
just totally blanked him. very rude. he climbed that mountain for Bardet.

Come on then, lads. Let's race this climb.

Hello everyone!

>>77927029
Yes. It's a Madone 3 series frame with fx series branding. Change the flats for drop bars and you've got a Madone 3.

Weakest GC in years. Nobody close to Froome.

>2 other SKY with Froome

>>77927141
Pls explain all /sp/ hate towards Bardet. I...I like him

>de la cruz pacing it

He is gonna win this isn't he?

>>77927144
new kwiato

>>77927094
well do it then.

>>77927160
he seems like a little bitch and a weakling

Moscon and Nieve clearly superior to most of the Top 10. That can't be right, can it?

>>77927205

Same in the Tour. Sky dropping all the GC guys but 3 or 4

Froome can't be stopped

>>77927205
marginal gains, friend.

>>77927227
>""""""marginal""""""

>orica's "tactics" today

>>77927179
I don't have extra STIs available and I have a better road bike anyway. If I can't sell it like that before next summer I'm just gonna sell the frame, groupset and wheelset separately.

based grandpa pellizotti

Go go go Nibbles!

NIBBLES :D

the city of froome

Pointless Nibali attack again.

One of the most overrated riders.

What the fuck am I seeing

Froome should cede the stage to Lopez for shedding Nibali

Wow he is outfrooming Froome

Aru a shit

Based Vuelta bringing the heat day after day.

GC will be quite shook after today.

cracking good climb that

>Doubting Froome

Kek

Mega propz to Bardet for the effort

>overlay going crazy

Where is TJ?? :DDD

So good to see Lopez back in form.

God I love Vuelta Froome.

>>77927410
I dont think anyone expected otherwise

Froome just deadset has to be cheating somehow. Looks fucked all mountain then goes insane out of nowhere

>>77927431
He's faking to make others keep the pace

He does it ALL THE TIME

Why did Astana allow López to be free for win stage instead of help Aru?

>>77927431
Nano machines in the blood m8

>>77927448
Stage win. Plus Aru a shit.

>>77927431
there has never been a mountain stage where people haven't said "froome not looking good today"

>>77927448
They didn't. If he lost he would be fucked

>>77927448
Aru was beyond helping. Better to win something.

>>77927448
Aru's clearly not gonna win the race. Also had a teammate with him, may as well go for stage. Apparently most the team hates him too

>>77927448
because Aru is shit

>>77927431
its his way of riding when he knows he is probably the strongest. He doesnt follow explosive attacks because he knows that by just pacing himself he will catch the attacker again and be fresher than the attacker. Big Tom D rides the same way, its the time trialist way.

Weird, despite destroying all the GC contenders I can't see Moscon in the top 20. Must be a mistake.

They found a new meme hill for stage 17. Looking forward to this.

>>77927489
found him!
23. ITA MOSCON Gianni + 03' 47''

Destroying them very very gently.

>>77927489
It was Nieve not Moscon

>>77927502
Isn't that the stage with 31% inclination?

>tfw no mountains with 100% of inclination

>>77927516
Upthread people were saying it was ridiculous that Moscon was outclimbing the climbers....8km from the finish

One day they'll learn that domestiques always blow up and finish behind the climbers they dropped.

Does inclination end at 90% or 100%?

>>77927540
You can go past 100%

>>77927561
Nope, you can go as high as you want because it means how much does terrain elevate over distance (elevation/distance*100) so 100% means 45 degrees

>>77927578
Fuck I always thought 30℅ = 30 degrees

>Roche
>Teejay
>the absolute state of BMC

>>77927618
Yeah I thought that for a long time too but wondered why do they use %, but now I know
