Well that looked interesting, but became fairly pointless quickly. Edit: Majka out of the race, Tom Jelte Slagter taken to an ambulance apprently. Tuiri fucked around with this message at 15:16 on Apr 24, 2016 |

I'm being told I missed a Tommy V attack. I honestly thought he had retired.

I love idiots running next to riders, but don't cut across during an attack. Get close, but stay out of the way.

Considering the tragic injury he came back from a couple of years ago, I am happy Poels won. Although I have to be honest there is some nationalism at play as well.

#anyonebutvalverde This is a win for all of us today. I would have loved Albasini to win just for another apeshit Orica Backstage Pass.

I was briefly OK with Poels winning until I saw Team Sky tweet that it was their first monument victory.cebrail posted:I must have missed something, why does everyone hate Valverde? I dislike him because he looks like someone's weird uncle and because he's really good at having his team put in a shitload of work for him only to completely implode when it's time for him to do something. Also the whole doping thing

cebrail posted:I must have missed something, why does everyone hate Valverde? Unrepentant doping rear end in a top hat. Armstrong-level bullshit denials when every acronym-level agency caught him blood doping under his dog's name back in the day. He doesn't just not speak about it like Contador, he's militant about having not done anything wrong despite proof to the contrary. Smirr posted:I dislike him because he looks like someone's weird uncle and because he's really good at having his team put in a shitload of work for him only to completely implode when it's time for him to do something.

Valverde always implodes in the TdF, but other than that, yeah he's pretty legit. E, probably a poor choice of word there, but you know what I mean.

Valverde sucks when he's winning all the Ardennes races but you'll love him when he starts blowing up some boring Grand Tour stages later on in the year. He's taken so much dope it made him have a combover by the time he was in his thirties.

Also, Movistar not properly riding for Quintana is always weird as hell. Instead Valverde sits there doing nothing in hope of a podium, when they actually could win through Quintana. Not sure if that's Valverde's fault though (I suspect it is) or the directors. He also NEVER pulls, just sits there.

I was sat there watching expecting Valverde to attack so Froome would have to chase him down and do all the work before a Quintana follow up and nope, other way round because Valverde was never going off the front as long as there was a risk he'd come 4th if he blew up.

He rides for himself. Going to be on the final climb for the Queen stage at Romandie next weekend. Snow and rain is menacing though, gonna have to dress up warm.

Speaking of teams with weird leadership situations, has BMC announced its leaders for the Tour and the Giro? Or are they just gonna throw Porte and TJV at both and wait to see who inevitably blows up in the second week first?
