  1. Spent 4 days in China, last week, only to be reminded again how fubar this country of ours has become. So sad. At least we have lots of open space to ride our bikes.

    A brutal day for some of the Flanders favourites Wout van Aert, Mads Pedersen, Biniam Girmay and Jasper Stuyven were all involved in a serious crash at Dwars door Vlaanderen, with varying degrees of injury ahead of the Tour of Flanders on Sunday. Pedersen will be monitored by Lidl-Trek but it remains the plan for him to race the Tour of Flanders. Stuyven, however, will require surgery. It has been confirmed Van Aert will miss the Tour of Flanders, Paris-Roubaix and Amstel Gold Race. O Getty Images

    They are 1 hour behind SA (until Sunday morning), then daylight savings kicks in, and we're on the same time zone.

    Today's slopes and the bumpy stuff (cobbles). Maybe WvA's neighbour will give back the Garmin at Holleweg (where it was "lost").
  5. Having previously had white lids, with the current two being black or black/red, I would prioritise colour (white >black) further up the pecking order.
  6. Yes, it was free when I checked for Milano-SanRemo, but connected via VPN. edit: but you need to create an account, and login.

    No a Classic race, but it was nice to see Egan Bernal back on a podium (Volta Ciclista a Catalunya), even though it was a master class from Pogačar.
  10. First long ride in 5 weeks, resulting in 72 hours recovery on the Garmin.

    IMO, JP owes that win to MvdP closing the gap more than once.

    Thinned out peloton on the Cipressa. Dog fight on the Poggio, and maybe the descent. I see Olav Kooij made it over the Cipressa. Wonder if he has enough for the Poggio?

  17. You need to go to https://www.raiplay.it/dirette/raiplay Dirette means Direct, aka live
  18. This is the only scientific paper, the rest of the links are articles. I also don’t believe everything on a Google search. When I asked, it was because your comment stated scientific results. My knowledge of scientific literature is lacking, but I have some good resources to assist. This was more statistical and not very well controlled as an experiment.
  19. Yes to 1) and 2) Where do you stay, or ride? There are safe places to ride (relatively speaking, of course). It you ride consistently in your "Z2" every week, you'll be amazed how "just riding" makes a big difference to your overall fitness. event 1) is 3.5 months before event 2) so if you training for 2), then you can use 1) as a practice event.
  20. I would imagine the roads damaged during the rains last September (and any other similar freak of nature) would get priority over a road that only needs resurfacing.
  21. Best you change your plans for tomorrow, as MSR is on tomorrow (Saturday). 😂😂 I’m using Rai tomorrow. https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/164472-the-classics/?do=findComment&comment=3954962
