I'd be very surprised if some of the best/fastest aren't actually the sprinters and spent domestiques who have to bomb the descents to catch back on to the peloton to make the time cut.

I kind of wanna see one of the GTs propose an all downhill TT now. At least then the bitching would be justifiable

It already exists in some form, racers wear padding and full face helmets.

The Secret Pro had an interesting piece about downhills in the Gruppetto and avoiding the broom wagon. quote:SQUABBLES IN THE GRUPPETTO https://cyclingtips.com/2016/07/the-secret-pro-at-the-2016-tour-de-france-sky-is-conserving-cav-is-back-and-squabbles-in-the-gruppetto/

How do people in Australia watch the Giro d'Italia now that SBS don't have the rights? Is Foxtel the only way to get Eurosport here? I will never sign up or pay money for that.

Ragazzi, its that time again so here's a nice Giro preview link. There's lots of tasty names and stages in there. My hot takes are: 1. Quintana's insanely boring and I hope Nibali eats his lunch. 2. I'll be cheering for Sunweb's Phil Bauhaus to win all the sprints because he's named Phil Bauhaus. https://cyclingtips.com/2017/05/preview-guide-2017-giro-ditalia/

Oh HELL yeah, there are new cringey Alpecin ads, at least on German TV. John Degenkolb shampooing his hair while on his bike wait, if Alpecin now sponsor Katusha, then.. maybe it was someone else
