Been? ;)

I do feel for young Simmons. What a terrible time to flat and have a rubbish wheel change.

Good call @burgler

Also, somewhat ironic that the American on the American team, riding American drivetrain gets screwed over by said American drivetrain

haha. Give me Shimano or give me death.

I actually have SRAM Apex on a 1x gravel bike that has been great, but ironically the higher end SRAM AXS Pauline had was rubbish. I've had such rock solid reliability with Shimano over the years and especially all of the iterations of Di2, I'll need something completely compelling to ever pull me away from them.

How about Pog and Bernal? Those guys are real bike racers.

Moscon is glad Hashtag came along.

You are right, though I suppose unpopular political views are better than punches, causing crashes and active racism instead of just implied.

Anyway, I should steer clear of politics. Bike racing is holy and I shouldn't tarnish this thread. :)

agreed love it when the gt guys remind us they are proper bike racers

i knew my picks were stupid but am surprised to not see more from dqs. maybe lff can redeem it

MvdP looks like he's not fresh as a daisy.
Simon Carr #futureballer.

I hope we continue to see the trend of GC racers showing up for one day races.

A bloc philippe.

En y vas!

Gogl is wondering where he is and how he got there.

Brits are turning out some crazy talent.

MvdP giving us a Spartacus move.

 But wow, Alaphilippe went across easily. He looks good.

Bernal is really putting the Giro Peloton on warning.

Wow. Awesome.

Sure is, super impressive ride.

Yeah he does as does Bernal. Happy to see him back where he should be.

He doesn’t appear to be riding for third either

Also, possibly the sketchiest corner in cycling, with the low early spring sun light

Please give us power data. MvdP is insane.

#Terminator

Watt can anyone do about that? Monster mode.

Bernal looking this good before the Giro and van Aert looking like this in his first road race, with all of the training Km's and being "pudgy" is a sight to behold. Strade is a sight to behold.

We have a whole spring of this, and then he brings it to the Tour. Every day will be can’t miss.

I think he'll come good in two-week's time, right there to defend his Milano San Remo title.

Also, that cheeky move by MvdP on the descent in the last few kms. Probably just straight up trolling by then.
