Pro Cycling Memories

@casquetteurs Looks so fresh while the others are grimacing trying to stay with the pace ;)

@buchanansj @peloton_tales 😂😂 I was waiting for a comment like that.

@ClipsCycling @peloton_tales Henri Desgrange telling him "and no sitting on the top tube when you descend"

Love this photo...thanks to @peloton_tales for this one.

@bigeuan82 Thanks Euan. Much appreciated. Love doing it but it does take some work yes. Trying to fit in a whole day's racing in 2 minutes is a challenge 😂...plenty more to come. Have a great day.

@ClipsCycling This account must take a lot of effort behind the scenes, it’s appreciated! One of my favourite things on Twitter, thank you.

Happy Birthday to Fernando Escartín 🇪🇸. Here he wins Stage 15 of the 1999 Tour De France to Piau-Engaly (174km). #cycling

@PepeLeMico 😂👍 love it

@ClipsCycling Took this picture a few years ago in a Vuelta start. He’s the one in the middle; looks a bit different right? ☺️

Happy Birthday to Remco Evenepoel 🇧🇪. Hard to believe he is only 21 today. Can't wait to see him racing again. Here he wins his first race as a pro... Stage 2 of the 2019 Baloise Belgium Tour to Zottegem (179.9km) He also won the race overall #cycling

Happy Birthday to Stefano Zanini 🇮🇹. Here he wins Stage 21 of the 2000 Tour De France on the Champs-Élysées #cycling @StefanoZanini Great victory!!

@albertnavaslife Yes the English speaking commentators always referred to him as Big Mig. Even here where i live we still say Big Mig. One of My favourite cyclist.

@ClipsCycling Interesante en la retransmisión cuando nombran a Miguel Indurain por "Big Mig"... 😃💪🏻

Happy Birthday to Abraham Olano 🇪🇸. Here he wins the 1995 World Championships in Duitama riding the last few kms with a flat rear wheel. It was a tough course. 2nd Miguel Indurain 🇪🇸 3rd Marco Pantani 🇮🇹 #cycling

@baxtertwit @ChrisSidwells @lukascph Hell yeah. i had a pair of those shorts without the Carrera branding on. Rode it until there was nothing left.

@ClipsCycling @ChrisSidwells @lukascph Give me Chiapucci's Carrera kit every time.

Wrong. This is good, does exactly what team kit should do. Stands out=grabs attention=memorable

@fletchdale @rouleur Ok Im with you on the glasses issue. There are some I will just never wear. Some are so big it looks like a covid face shield.

@ClipsCycling @rouleur Christ no, there’s perfectly normal outfits you can ride a bike in. MAMIL is never a good look, Iv managed to make peace with the ridiculous (but matt black) helmet. There is well designed, practical kit out there but most cyclist seem to bypass is. We need to talk about glasses.

We must learn from the mistakes of the past. Top 10 Terrible Cycling Kits bit.ly/398x1ov

@fletchdale @rouleur So I take it you won't be seen dead in one of those kits mentioned? 😂

@ClipsCycling @rouleur Except that I am also a recreational cyclist. I’m not anti cycling in any way but the clothing is absurd in 90% of cases. (The multi colour 90s kit is pretty good though)

@ken_colwell 😂😂 speaking of trance music. I once saw a guy on tv at one of these trance parties wearing a Molteni jersey. Man that guy had class.

Only after 🍟 Mayo and settling in too a disturbing amount of Kwaremont 🍻 whilst listening to Belgium trance music 🙄

@ChrisSidwells @lukascph Maybe it is because I had both Chazal and Toshiba jerseys and felt like a real pro ;)

@ChrisSidwells @lukascph Yes I also don't agree with this list.

@fletchdale @rouleur I see you are somewhat of a petrolhead. Same story with you guys who race on normal roads thinking you are Lewis Hamilton with your silly modified cars. But I take it you were sarcastic.

@rouleur All cycling kit is the worst cycling kit. Cyclists should really realise this and stop clip clopping into cafes in their Lycra shorts and ridiculous sun glasses. You’re not trying to shave of 2secs on a TDF stage...

@rouleur Easy now guys, that Chazal kit was awesome.

@ChrisSidwells @BadgesCiclismo Wow that is hard work.

@BadgesCiclismo @ClipsCycling Thank you. Eventually aiming for 3-4 a year. Fingers crossed and never say die.

@ChrisSidwells @BadgesCiclismo Thanks so much Chris. Also looking forward to #2. Loved A Race for Madmen and will get Tom Simpson.

@ClipsCycling @BadgesCiclismo I’ll write it on cyclinglegends.co.uk next week. It’s a lesson in belief and persistence
