Guerreiro got into it with Hart, but no actual punches. Just a bit of handsiness and then that quote

edit. I don't think slapping some 5's is showboating, Sagan doing forrest gump pisstake celebrations in the TDF was showboating

Yeah, it didn't come across as showboating to me, just really American, in a semi-pejorative but still endearing manner

I hate when athletes in the sports I watch show emotion and are happy. Sepp needs to learn class and how to do it the right way without disrespecting the sport imo.

Literally no-one is saying this, it was great. Americans are so sensitive lmao.

In better news Van Der Poel made everyone look like cat 5 racers today and just rode off the front to win a stage at the tour of Britain. Dude is going to loving clown on absolutely everyone at the Worlds if he doesnt crash.

quote:

"He can be one of the favourites for the Worlds. He won Amstel Gold," he said. "It's been three or four days since he won a race so he was probably angry. Or not used to it.

"For sure he's one of the favourites but lets see how it plays out. On a finish like this there are few riders who can match him, probably no one at he moment. He just left us there like a bunch of juniors. We'll see."

I was mainly making fun of Americans even more..... If people in America actually watched this sport like they do, say, football, there would 100% be people on Twitter saying the same thing. I'll work on joke delivery next time.

I wonder if people in Durango watch cycling or if these guys are unknown even in their hometown, the apparent epicenter of American cycling

People in Colorado are big cycling fans (at least relative to other places in the US). I'm sure people in Durango are very aware of him. I'm sure his family is known, in fact. His dad was a US Olympic ski coach when Sepp was younger, I think.

Evenepoel is in the Worlds, right? Though I imagine the Belgian team will be riding in support of Gilbert, I'd definitely give him a shot as well.

Oh, I only watched the final 2 km just now. Took me ages to find the right spot because it was way earlier than usual. Now I know why!

Wore himself out. Doesn't have the legs for the stage races anymore, needs to limit himself to uphill classics.

Wonder what the actual measured difference in speed is between an aero tuck on the top tube vs one on the saddle.

There's one academic who's done quite a bit of aero analysis for cycling. Combo of wind tunnel and CFD testing should give decent predictions for a single rider descending (so limited pedaling):

And some work for sprinting:

Yeah they do TTT aero testing with Jumbo at the university too. I walk past the wind tunnel quite a bit, maybe I should camp out there in the off-season and see if they come by :stalker:
