Should be fairly easy for the organisers to see which teams did not get their entry sponsored and paid their own way! Should be a mention category at least...

We all know XCO vs XCM and what Shurter's real ambitions for the year are. He wears the World Champ jersey quite proudly every day after all. As a spectator to the race, it is however interesting to see him looking so strong and capable of dropping the hammer, yet holding back to keep this just a training ride... He would be such a contender at face value

Guess it's still cheaper for Scott Factory Racing than hosting a training camp exclusively on their own dime...

Have guessed the same, but it seems crazy to come all this way and do that with all the resources Scott make available, just for training....

Shot A LOT!

Gotta wonder why Nino has not been able to pick a similar strength partner to have a real go at the GC in the many times he has done this now.

Schweeeet! Please make the title more relevant Matt, something like - Epic2014 Go Hubbers! That'll make the thread more obvious for those that haven't already posted here.

Today's mudpack will have put some proper testing to their compatibility.... Good luck Henk and Ilse!

It's the beginning of the week and already teams are being written off... I think this is gonna be one of the most interesting years as far as GC is concerned. So many winning options!

Live streaming site is very poor! It's almost better not to have it than for it to be as unreliable as it is! Buffering with the first 2 teams coming across and now it's toast with lost signal...

Watching the live feed and no one has come over yet??

Entirely your choice. Do you suffer from hot foot when riding at all?? If so, you will probably enjoy the larger cleat and better spread of weight onto the pedal offered by road pedals and shoes.

Shot to all posting the twitter, etc updates and pics! In the office and no access to those feeds outside of what you guys are posting here. On behalf of all us corporate types with limited\blocked access, we say THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

Yep, looks like a CR1 to me and I own an Addict. Sounds like a good deal for 6K! Tiagra is such good value it's almost a secret amongst the cycling mechanic circles....

Hey Ronsha, Welcome to the JUNGLE BUDDY!!!!

'Feels' like a very exciting year with many options at GC winners! Impressive to see Karl Platt looking so strong!

I use my uvex road specific helmet for all my cycling, except for the odd downhill effort.

Taking a pic every second. Switched it off on some stretches and back on at others.

P.S. I hope you remembered first thing this morning and this notice was not a skrik ekse!

CONGRATS the HAIRYS'sssss! Wish you plenty more!!!!

We pay attention here! If you want us to think it's legit, than make it look legit. Shortcuts lead to loads of suspicion. Again, by responding you have set things right so far, but your seller status will only change for the good when those bits are received by the chaps who have bought from you. Oh and welcome to the hub now that you have a few posts behind your name...

Well done for replying and if you are indeed legit we collectively apologise if you feel hard done by. Unfortunately we are a band of cycling brothers on here who try and look out for one another and if you stick around you will get to count on this too. Good job on doing the right thing so far!

Hope for your sake it is the truth. Lesson learnt? No out of town purchases from newbies! Someone must vet the new seller locally with an in person exchange of goods and cash to make sure they are legit! This will take too much time for scammers who are not really into our market or understand our ways.

Post up the account details of the bank account you paid it into. Perhaps there's a banker online that might get you better info about who actually owns this account... (No that would not be me)

Gotta say that this is the kind of k@k that makes me use the classifieds to find out about deals and then go meet the seller in person and part with my cash only when the goods are in my grubby paws.
