--- you can criticize the race as much as you want, but this is exactly, completely, spot on, in every way, the kind of support, sponsorship, and exposure cycling needs.

"we want the sport to be better, and to grow"

headbutts and sprint stages...

Took a real leisurely ride yesterday up to Harriman and Bear Mtn – was nice to take it easier than usual & document some of the gorgeous views

Sagan....so much awesomeness....

Seriously. Even when the (sad face) inevitable news comes out he's juiced, nobody will be able to say he didn't drive his bike like nobody else.

I love rooting for this guy, and I'm a fan of underdogs.

It's amazing with him sometimes...like he can just do what I'm thinking...like jump ahead of the field on the last climb....then close the gap on the descent...and oh yeah...bunny hop that fucking curb like a boss...just cause you can!!!

It's even better



The above is from:http://cycling-today.com/video-danny-van-poppels-incredible-crash-save/ where you can see video from the ground.

Not only was that an awesome slide, but if you look ahead of him, you'll see Sagan keeping his left elbow out as a bumper/limiter against Gaviria.

this is why they're pros.

Cyclo-cross techniques mastery saved his derriere.

That is really interesting to see Sagan as he exits the turn keeping his elbow out and protecting his wheel/bars from intrusion as they all begin to wind up to sprint. That seems easy but takes skill and experience that require practice in order to do that instinctively in the middle of oxygen debt at the very end of a race.

Now if only there were people who were willing to teach and practice those types of skills on the bike who were part of the club...oh well...

Strive.

I initially thought they were shoe covers.

Who's feet are those, Coquard?

I didn't know VANS got into the bicycle shoe game. I guess Skate > BMX > MTB > Road kind of make sense.

that is Coquard.

As my kids would say  "whatarethose"
