Competitive Cycling

[dom]

The glory days of French cycling are long gone.

When I first started watching cycling on the tv there was Hinault and then Fignon. Not one winner since then, so I'll celebrate the little victories when they come.

Gaudu is a solid professional, good at climbing and not a wheel hugger.

Surely the true wheel huggers are the sprinters? 99.9% of each stage that they have a chance of winning is spent being supported by their team mates so they can show off that burst of energy to get them first over the line?

But that's their job Sometimes they have to freelance it though.

The French wouldn't like Gaudu to win anyway. No panache. That's why they love Alaphillipe, the Brits like a plucky loser, the Frogs like a flamboyant loser

Tim Merlier wins the European Championships Road Race. Entertaining race, much better than yesterday's women's race.
Plenty of attacking from MvdP

Yes, MvdP was up for it, our Olav Kooij just nicked second place, well done!

Pogi pulverised the Grand Prix Cycliste de Montréal. Looking ominous for Zuerich.
