The Silver Fern

Didn't get to watch any of this thanks to SBS's shithouse streaming service.

Interesting article thanks. I find it amazing that 15 years ago they were basically just training as had been done for a century, with no data or innovation. I can easily see the increase if that is the case, but then you have the drop off in testing over CV years & no testing innovation! 🤷

I completely missed the news that George is leaving TJV to join Pogacar at UAE - and that Finn Fisher-Black is already there.

Just finished it - it’s on iplayer for fellow UK.

Best 3 hours of tv in years. Hooked from start to finish.

Absolute psychopath. Undoubtedly.

Still in the pro camp tho. Sorry for those that annoys.

@scribe said in Road Cycling:

And Niamh Fisher-Black second in the elite women’s race; an outstanding effort!

She sounded a bit pissed that she couldn't get over the line. She admitted that the other girl rode away from her on the cobbles, but was clearly on a very good day and had her chance and probably feels that she missed it.

I actually missed this race completely and for whatever reason Lantern Rouge didn't have the footage so no highlights from them, sadly.
