Cammy Winnett

Grady
Anscombe
Tomos
Thomas
Lake
Lewis
Beard (I vommed in my mouth as I typed it)
Rowlands
Reffell
Jac
Wainwright

Jac 7, Plumtree 6 and Reffell on bench imo

anagallis_arvensis

Yep, incredible. But you would think he'd be lacking some top end endurance... surely? We'll find out... I am sure he will be tested again today, but I don't expect that this is a day where the winners will gain much time. You were right... How did Vingegaard stay so fit when he was out injured? Am...

anagallis_arvensis

Surely Botham is a better option than Basham?
When is Tschunza due back? Height not be the Messiah but he at least has bulk, athletiscm and lineout ability. Wainwright, Reffel and Botham looks tiny but might be the best we can muster.

anagallis_arvensis

I am sure Grady will be starting to gather interest too

3rd ban for an English player in the space of what, 6 weeks? A month? It’s a pattern of behaviour. Player censure doesn’t appear to be modifying it. Perhaps a points deduction would encourage compliance? Dirty, cynical, cheap shot cnuts. What you said. https://c8.alamy.com/comp/2RT4JBF/bordeaux-fra...

anagallis_arvensis

Lake has to start surely?
Agree re Wainwright, Basham to 8.

anagallis_arvensis

Some great passes here. I rate this one highly, looks like a simple run of the mill pass but this one took bravery, Henson pops the perfect pass putting Shanklin in the hole and gets thoroughly wiped out by Tuqiri I think it is. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ypknmmOI2xE&pp=ygURR2F2aW4gaGVuc29uIHBhc3...

Just checking to see if Pivac has been sacked yet.........

anagallis_arvensis

:lol: , well if July to September isn’t representative of a whole economy what is. This will reverse quickly with construction workers about to face huge pay cuts. As I said I heard it on the news this morning for the year. Anyway the bottom line is the Tories have depressed public sector wages for...

anagallis_arvensis

Top tips, don't sneeze, don't cough and....this one is crucial don't go over the bars on your next ride a month or so later and land on them again, hearing them crack again was.....disappointing

anagallis_arvensis

MVDP pays a $1400 fine to go home and can't go back to Aus again....bet he doesn't f**king want to either! Are the Dutch cycling team a bunch of clowns, no security for MVDP here following the Olympics ramp farce... Bet MVDP will be happy to get back to Alpecin too

anagallis_arvensis

Adams to 15, then Cuthbert and Zammit...not ideal but better than other options.

anagallis_arvensis

Jesus Christ, thought I'd watch the last few km of stage 2 Vuelta Burgos, what fuckwits thought a fast downhill with a speed bump 700m from the finish was a good idea, feel a bit sick now.

anagallis_arvensis

Need to tech advice. My old bike that I had on my kickr core has finally packed in. I recently bought a new bike with a 12 speed 10-33T cassette. My old scrapper bike was a 12-28T so I need to change the cassette on the trainer. The problem is that I can't find a 10-33T cassette for love nor money....

anagallis_arvensis

Right boys were are going from the gun, Roglic you sit on Wouts wheel and Wout you force the break, blow UAE to bits early

anagallis_arvensis

I don't understand why teams like JV or Ineos are taking charge of leading the pack and allow Emirates a quiet break? Because they are f**king dumb, WVA wins his 240th stage, gains a 240 000 point lead in green jersey comp and they all lose more time to Pog...great. Should have just sat back and wa...

anagallis_arvensis

Is there enough climbing to isolate Pog before the final climb today? Powder might be kept dry.
I think INEOS have to send someone away early and then sit in hoping that Jumbo have the sense not to help UAE chase

anagallis_arvensis

Pogacar is unbelievable! 4 Ineos guys in the top 8 must give them some tactics possibilities to try and blow the race apart but Pogacar looks too strong and fresh. I haven't seen the stage but it seems that it was an unbelievable fast pace just the day after the cobbles and the day before the first...

anagallis_arvensis

He's playing with our balls

anagallis_arvensis

Cross winds today would make it fun. I'd like to see Pog lose some time just to put him under pressure

anagallis_arvensis

Tom Pidcock is going to be something special when he decides what it is he wants to do!!

anagallis_arvensis

Yellow: Pogacar
Podium: Roglic and Martinez
Green: WVA
White: Pogacar
Polka Dot: Bardet
Stage 1 Winner: Ganna with MVdP as a cheeky outside bet

anagallis_arvensis

Bernal riding the vuelta will be about as stupid as when Evanepoel did the giro as his first race post a big injury

anagallis_arvensis

Kwiatkowski is out.

Is he, seemed to be going well on Strava yesterday!

anagallis_arvensis

What's happened to Bernal and Carapaz? Focusing them on other Tours?

anagallis_arvensis

How the actual fudge did Jac Morgan or James Botham not get picked?

anagallis_arvensis

I thought Cav had gone far too early, that was impressive. As was Pidcock in the MTB world Cup, completely destroyed the field in his first mtb race since Olympics.

anagallis_arvensis

That's a valid criticism of his efforts to win the race on Sunday... ...but at the same time you don't want him to change how he races, because that's what makes him great to watch. If he were to revert to Armstrong/Skybot burn-off-the-competition-and-attack-late style racing, it would suck. True e...

anagallis_arvensis

Pog is forcing it too much. He looks like a tour GC rider given a year off to do Flanders and is desperate to win. Compare his ride to MVdP, who sat back, let the race unfold and then pounced. Pog needs to accept he has to be prepared to lose in order to win. His big attack where he pulled back all ...

anagallis_arvensis

Pogacar obviously recovered from Strada ok judging by his TT today

only beaten by Evanepoel and Ganna

anagallis_arvensis

Jumbo Visma 1,2,3 Day 1 Paris - Nice. Laporte wins, Roglic 2nd, Van Aert 3rd That's absolutely sticking 2 fingers to the others. You have to seriously question the race smarts of both the other riders on the road and the DS of the competition. They were just so slow to read the situation. Race smar...

anagallis_arvensis

.He may need to leave Jumbo to get the Green jersey that he definitely should be targeting during his career. Yeah, if you compare WvA to MVdP the former has the "better" palmeres for the average punter who watches le tour whilst MVdP has the better "cycling fans" palmeres. Jumbo provide Wout with ...

Now he does have the physical attributes to beca grand tour rider, will take a few years of focus though.

Van Aert is some f**king rider though. MVdP's bitch! wva has the potential to go for the grand tours mvdp will never have that as a heavier more explosive rider Apples and oranges even if they are incredibly closely matched and rivals in a lotnof aspects.

Too bad Cav, the one time he didn't have a DQS train putting it on a plate for him he couldn't get the job done. He'll never get the record now, this was a golden opportunity in a year with no other serious sprinters in opposition. Imagine him having to take on Bennett, Ewan, Ackermann, Merlier, Gr...
