Terpstras position on a bike is pure art. Boonen as well. Nice to see tall guys having a really good position.

On another note; Velon posted WvA´s numbers from the point where he got dropped. 380 watts avg for 26 min. until the finish line. That is very impressive. He's a fighter for sure.

Stage 2 Paris Nice is must see. I don't think I have ever seem more cross wind action in a bike race. Lots of footage of riders scrambling to stay in the echelons, getting dropped, bumped off the road, etc. Thrilling stuff with a great finish. Tiz cycling has the last 40 km. Some racy pop ads that have to be dealt with so don't fire it up when the kids are around. The world is indeed a strange place. I didn't know that there is actually a video game called Cunt Wars.

I have Ad Block Plus and Flash turned off for Tiz and that blocks most of the annoying popups and pron.

I really like the way Team Sky is racing at Paris Nice ! That's a first for me ... And there's only three of them. Interesting to know if Bernal is burning too much
matches in these flat stages

Pretty exciting to see Bernal up there bossing it in the crosswinds along with Rowe and Kwiato. He definitely doesn't fit the traditional mold for Colombian climbers.

There was an interesting article on italian Bicisport about the first months he landed in Italy for a serious attempt to a pro career in cycling and since day 1 he had an out of ordinary experience.

You could see Bernal was actually getting blown around by the wind but he was just so impressive when most bulkier sprinters couldnt manage the front group and here he never missed a turn!

Good article in CyclingTips about what a horrific man Cipollini is - https://cyclingtips.com/2019/03/the-sin ... cipollini/

I hope he is placed in prison.

He’s a loser who is just upset that his man crush is a jacked neanderthal and will now have to burn his retro Saeco kit.
