Cav keeps winning. Pretty impressive sprinting from the little Brit.

Yes, especially consider he'd almost been written off as being over the hill now.

The Brits keep winning, today it was Cummings.

That was a quality ride.

And from a man they refused to take to next month's Olympics.  :wacko:

I think it is fair to say we have reached a critical mass of Indians and Pakistanis in Austin, Texas. A tipping point, if you will, has been reached.

I have seen them playing at Mayfield Park almost every time I go there.

I'm sure it's a fine game.  But in north america it's pretty much exclusively a south asian game.

That's an odd reason to dismiss it. :huh:

Some choice words by Cav caught on camera when he had a flat 7 km before the goalline. :lol:

Froome is acting very non-Froome like this year. I like it. Crazy downhill driving, adventurous side wind attacks. Today's win by Sagan was spectacular and it was in part Froome's doing.

Sagan seems to embody the 'spirit' of the Tour de France; he just failed to win the race single-handedly yesterday, so he had another go today.

Notice how immediately after the finish, Froome went onto his static bike for the scientific warm-down regime, Sagan just stood around chating to him and others.  :cool:

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/jul/13/russian-athlete-competing-under-a-neutral-flag-at-the-olympics-branded-a-traitor

QuoteRussian athlete Darya Klishina has been widely criticised after she agreed to compete under a neutral flag at next month's Olympics, a move which could make her one of Russia's only track-and-field athletes not banned due to a national doping scandal.

Social media denounced the long jumper as a "traitor" after she thanked her sponsors and coaches for their support and expressed gratitude to the International Association of Athletics Federation (IAAF) for allowing her to compete.

Show trial! Show trial!  :contract:

As a neutral spectator I think she'll add positively to the Olympics.

That was the craziest finish to a stage I've ever seen. From the moment the camera caught Froome running up Mont Ventoux sans bicycle to him crossing the line I just watched in disbelief.

Yeah, unbelievable. And even more so if this result is allowed to stand.
