The cycling thread

[UK Redsox]

I've been avoiding this thread because I'm watching highlights late evening.

One of my best mates has just texted me the result.....the dozy bugger   

[edgysatsuma89]

Beautiful.

[SteveN]

Brilliant, absolutely brilliant. 

[manic-road]

Brilliant from Cav, a record that could last for years.

[Risso]

Not bad for a lad from Laxey, yessir.

[SteveN]

The win was classic Cav, leaving his own train picking wheels to follow and a final kick that didn’t give anyone the chance to pass him. 

[Jon Crofts]

Nudging 1500 watts at the end there.

[JD]

And 69.4kms per hour. That's some speed.

On the Eurosport TDF YouTube coverage, I still haven't worked out how he teleported ahead of the EF(?) pink shirt guy between camera cuts.

Edit: They do a overhead later to show it. Cee Bol reaction is great as well.

Cav the GOAT?

[TopDeck113]

Certainly the GOAT as a TdF sprinter. Professional cycling though is such a nuanced sport, there are areas where Cav doesn't get anywhere close.

Until Pogacar gets there. 7 years maybe?

He won’t get there imho…these riders are starting pro younger so the next Pogacar and co will be along shortly & it’s debatable another sprinter will ever be as dominant

Norwegian Andre Drege has died in an accident on the Tour of Austria. 25 years old.

Pogacar and Vingegaard at it again in the TDF!

Brilliant aperitif to the football!
