Can someone explain team cycling to me?

[Notters]

I'm learning all the time about this cycling malarkey.
So the Pelican is chasing the attackers now ?

No it's a puffin.

The Aussies are now stirring the pot.

That's good for us. They will be working for Goss. I can't see the Gernans working too hard though. They will rely on Griepel stealing a wheel.

 

[Birdie Boy]

Wish they'd started a bit earlier than 10am. Wasting the whole day staying in watching it, just can't drag myself away

I'm supposed to be outside on the scaffolding repairing cracks in the house prior to painting it. The missus won't be happy when she gets home from work shortly! I will tell her it only happens once every 4 years!

so how far back are the pentathlon now?

 

[Lord Bracknell]

so how far back are the pentathlon now?

Two weeks.

 

[brightn'ove]

Two weeks.

hmm im not sure they could make that up...

 

[Smythe]

Only a sprinter is likely to win today so they've got to ride for the sprinter.

Not if the pantaloon cant catch the breakaway riders, unlikely i know but could happen.

 

[Stat Brother]

Just walked in and from what I can see, everything is as it should be.

I'm off for a shower now, don't let anything happen.

The pendulum doesn't seem to be struggling as much as the cars behind the leaders, listen to them struggle up the hill!

That's how the mountains are categorised.

The mountain 'cat' number 4 -3 -2 -1 - HC, is representative of the gear a car would use to drive up it.

4th cat = a 4th gear minor hill/elevation.
1st cat = a tough mountain.

HC - Hors catégorie (Beyond classification) = You ain't getting a car up there.

I couldn't have put it better myself.

Is the Penguin closing in yet?

 

[Frutos]

How is this Pentagon thing doing?

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

What the f*** is going on?

 

[JamesAndTheGiantHead]

How is this Pentagon thing doing?

Shit, I was just about to say that.

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

Are we losing?

 

[Lord Bracknell]

There's now a chasing group bearing down on the leading group. And the chasing group is splitting. Meanwhile, the peloton (still led by the brits) is reducing the gap. Quite exciting.

None of this makes sense to me, are you losing or winning or looking like we might lose or win.

It's only the last 3 metres that counts. Be patient.
