I think this is the most attention the Tour of Andalusia has never received.

Best commentary of the day: "Look at those calves. He looks like he's smuggling frozen chickens!" Speaking of chicken-like creatures, Froome won the Ruta Del Sol.

On right now, Oleg Tinkov talking about business in Russia on Bloomberg. Edit: waste of time, he moaned about sanctions then when given the chance to talk about the team it was used as a spring board to moan more about sanctions again. According to him Russia did not invaded the Ukraine. Pocket fucked around with this message at 18:00 on Feb 22, 2015 |

Fun video from the Tour of Oman: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MSv9WKOyHCA&t=32s You can hear inner tubes exploding and then hear Eddy Merckx exploding while Tommeke and Spartacus look at him like the crazy great uncle who has made a scene at a family gathering.

Thank christ proper cycling starts again this weekend and these endless 'tour of (torturous shithole with hosed human rights)*' are over. Last week doesnt count because 'gently caress Froome'. *Mostly referring to Australia.

As some evidence concerns Astana Pro Team members, the file has been passed to the Licence Commission as part of this referral.

The Deadly Hume posted:Agreed here. I sort of dig everyone having a go at the record (I'd really like to see how Cancellara would go as well) but at some point you want someone to set a proper benchmark with the new rules and Martin would be the guy to do it. Does Martin have any sort of track history? I'm a big Martin fan and if anyone could do it right now, it would be him far and away, but being used to keeping the line/turning left/never stopping pedalling can be big benefits.

Wiggins and Martin are the only two I really want to see have a go. Wiggins because of his track history and that he'd spend all year getting ready for it so absolutely do his best, and Martin because hes a machine and I love watching him destroy people.

Well, if you can't beat Wiggins or Martin, you probably can't beat Merckx, specialized position or no. Does Wiggins or Merckx have more experience on the track?

Wiggins I think? Merckx rode track for fun and enjoyment in the offseason, being Belgian, (and to stack more wins). So he did Madison/points race/etc. Wiggins started in track and specifically trained for pursuit. So his is a more direct transfer. But Merckx is literally the bike Terminator from the future so ymmv.
