Lappartient's is a virtue? Pro Cycling 2018

[Kevin S]

Haha.

Mountain ITT today. Could be a big win for Roglic. Thomas and Porte might have some hopes. And I'd keep an eye on Amador, too.

[Kevin S]

Well, er, let's see how this pans out then.

Fuglsang sets a new benchmark for the GC contenders, getting it done in under 27 minutes.

[ursus arctos]

Spilak with 18 seconds on Fuglsang at the intermediate

[ursus arctos]

Ridiculous second half from Dan Martin gives him the lead by 15 seconds over Spilak

[longeared]

I've not really been following this race but why are they having another time trial??

[ursus arctos]

Prologue was only 4 km

[ursus arctos]

Kruiswijk breaks 26 minutes and leads by 40 seconds

[Kevin S]

Porte even faster, by 30s.

[ursus arctos]

Roglic down 20 seconds on Porte at the intermediate

[Kevin S]

Fucking hell! Bernal!

[ursus arctos]

Bernal beats Porte by 20 seconds!

[Kevin S]

It's looking highly likely now that this kid is going to notch up a WT GC win here.

[ursus arctos]

Roglic keeps the jersey!

[Kevin S]

Helluva second half from him.

[ursus arctos]

Tomorrow should be fun, because I'm quite sure that Bernal is going to try to get those four seconds

[ursus arctos]

Yesterday was fun, as Bernal attacked several times without ever dropping Roglic.

Ackermann won today's sprint in Geneva, but the GC was decided earlier in the race.




I really enjoyed Philippa York's analysis of this race on the Cycling News podcasts (there are 3 or 4). She's just great.

This city centre finale is not easy for the camera operators.

[Kevin S]

Kristoff three-peats in Frankfurt.

[Kevin S]

Actually though it's four runnings of the race in a row - there wasn't a 2015 edition?

[ursus arctos]

2015 was cancelled over fears of terrorism

German police have cancelled Friday's Rund um Finanzplatz Eschborn-Frankfurt race after arresting a married couple they believe were planning a terrorist attack on the event.

Some Tour de Yorkshire lineups starting to appear and, by the looks of it, the Olympic champion is coming.

[longeared]

Interesting line on this week's Cycling Podcast that Yorkshire's rumoured interest in hosting the Vuelta start has advanced to the point that race director Javier Guillen is attending the Tour de Yorkshire this weekend to see the area and meet the organisers.
