Horrific. Can’t imagine being sent into a concrete culvert at those speeds.
F this spring.

Late to the party, thanks for the tag.
Discovered almost by accident that my MAX subscription now carries the Eurosport coverage for (some of) the spring classics. How nice to watch Strade Bianche from the comfort of my own living room, rather than hunched over my computer watching a downloaded torrent. Between that and Peacock, I guess I guess we have them all covered this year - oddly enough perhaps the most complete TV coverage we've had for a while on mainstream channels (though I was never a GCN guy).
What can you say about Tadej. I used to think he was a little too cocky, but his sportsmanship won me over. The guy loves to race. To call out he would attack when he did, and then do it while everyone was in misery in the hail and mud, phew. An 80k TT for the win. True panache with that one. Never dull to watch.
Can't help but think about the showdown with Jonas eventually. While he's nowhere near as exciting to watch, the talent is undeniable. Both are able to ride in terrible conditions (see the wins in cold wet O Gran Camino) with damn fine bike handling as well, so we're past the staring-at-the-watt-meter boredom of past.
Not sure Bora is up for the challenge in keeping Roglic in play. I think he's got a chip on his shoulder from being 'reigned in' at the Vuelta (though I'm not 100% sure he was able to challenge Sepp on those long steep climbs), so he's got something to prove. I get the move for him, but not sure Bora was the best choice - but where else could he go?
These helmets, though - oy: Spaceballs

Pennix is damn good
It’s not just him. The receiving corps catch darn near everything. Lethal combo.

Scares you to death.

Set up for a holding call in the end zone resulting in a safety to win the game. Won’t happen with B12 refs though.

Alabama’s linebackers look very confused and slow…

The holding calls are fucking icing on the cake.

There was a time when I would agree. I think there was one spring in the Bay Area that broke me. It was an El Nino year, and so riding in the wet was just the way it was going to be. But crossing the GGB on the way home, it started to hail. That combined with wind whipping in froze me. Sat in a warm bath for an hour trying to get my core temp back up. Never the same, and now I'm too old and soft to repeat.
Not enough words to describe how TP is just on another level. He's such an amazing all-rounder - great TT, great climber, not impacted by the cold, not averse from trying Spring Classics. We haven't seen one like him in a long time. And he'll give the jersey off his back for a young rider (as he did today).
Great Giro so far for Danny Martinez - always liked him at EF.
Worried about the weather the next few days. Hope we don't get a repeat of today.
