Can't post for 2 hours!
Is there anywhere to watch past races online? I'd get Eurosport player (I'm in Ireland,) but it seems they don't have rights to show any of the races they cover.

That's just some random video he found right? Not a Bahrain-Merida bike, guy is wearing a wristwatch...also he doesn't seem to know how to ride a bike.

e: Looks like a random sportive since they're wearing race numbers.

Yeah, sorry that's not Purito. My mistake.

His stem is not even close to being slammed like the real thing. Cool crash tho

In real bike racing, Adam Hansen and Jan Bakelants are blowing up the end of the TDU, maybe.

loving hell, Porte and Ewan won every stage of the TDU.

Porte on track for a mid-season meltdown as usual though.

He'll crash at some event at the end of spring and break a collarbone.

IIRC he actually adjusted his technique to tuck less last season. Gives him better control and traction.

He's pretty much gone to the Cav technique now, which isn't a bad one to copy.

He seems to be able to stop mid sprint, reposition and go again too like cav

He's not nearly grumpy enough yet though

I think he's actually super chill re: winning and losing because he is still very new to the WT. Give him 2-3 years for the podium champagne to go to his head.

Say what you like about Cav but his ability to recall the details for every sprint hes ever been in is ridiculous.

If there's more than one way to do a job, and one of those ways will result in disaster, then he will do it that way.

Nah in the 2016 Giro he flipped out and swerved his bike before the line after getting torched by Griepal. Almost took out a few dudes. This wasn't even for a podium shot either.

Ok, he can be a new Cav, then :)

Super tense last sap.
What happened with Vos' chain at 40:00? Drop to the inside? I wonder if you could make a hybrid narrow-wide chainring with shift zones of non-wide, ramped teeth. You could make a good argument that that cost her the race.

Watched the 60 minutes thing on mechanical doping. The only value it had was Tyler Hamilton ripping it up on his old USPS Trek with the new motor installed.

It was really bad, no surprise to anyone I'm sure. They could have just replaced the CBS guy with with a robot and save money on health insurance.
