2016 'PRO' cycling discussion.

We must watch different races because Amstel is often an attack-fest especially with the finish on the Cauberg. This year's race was exciting and no one would have thought the move that won it would have stuck.
FW is basically a 1 min hill interval. You can not watch anything but the last 30s and get all the action.

Sucks to be Sagan. World champ, strolling to Green jerseys without really needing to win a stage, national RR and TT wins, multiple stage race wins, one day wins... not to mention a healthy salary. I'm sure he'd love to leave all that to race a couple of days a year at MTB WC's for next to no wages I wonder if he'll love the road more without Oleg in his ear

He's lucky he didn't become a soprano.

Lance on a Cannondale, and with Sram (I dont remember if Sram too stopped sponsoring him when the shit hit the fan...)

Sagan has a negative boner for GVA. Being mugged so many times by the Belgian has obviously got on his nerves. On not liking road cycling, fair enough but nobody is putting a gun to his head and forcing him into a contract (maybe the brother lol)
If I could do only one thing to make road cycling more interesting, I'd cut down stage lengths. No idiotic 230 km stages, 130-140 km max. Full gas from the get go! A more criterium attitude.
(Excluding Milan-San Remo like races that make the distance part of the narrative)

Sagan is 26 years old, and although he seems a pretty smart person for his age, Im sure it can happen to say something that you could regret later on.
Remember when Boonen said he would stop at 30 years old?
I think he was 25 or so, around his World Championship victory.

LA OWNED SRAM when it all went down.
Anyone know what glasses Machado was rockin' yesterday?
^^ Looks like an Adidas logo?
The Bouhanni brothers being gentlemen again.
Look at last video in article to see a little temper again. Cofidis can't be getting much love in the peloton at the moment. This isn't an isolated incident any longer.

Bouhanni is not winning friends anywhere. This is Hamburg August 21st.

MAMIL? Never. O.F.I.L. yeh! (Old F**ker in Lycra)

As it should be. Someone repeatedly displaying dangerous behaviour should be "held on a tight leash".

If you thought like that you wouldn't be contesting any sprints.
