From how far does pogi solo to victory?

Mountain bikers who say they prefer hardtails over full suspension are just engaging in mental gymnastics to cope with being too poor to ride a full suss

i see he did his first outdoor ride today https://www.strava.com/pros/189040

Rook One = Steel / Rook II = Alu / Simple Sam =Alu & Steel, depending on the model. All of this information is freely available on their respective websites

without his trusty domestiques, Roglic and Vingegaard, the lad doesn't stand a chance

https://www.teamvismaleaseabike.com/video/news/video-van-aert-about-his-recovery/ Official statement by Visma Lease a Bike: More than two weeks after his crash in Dwars door Vlaanderen, Wout van Aert is already doing much better. His fractures are recovering well and he has already been carefully riding indoors for the first time. But there has been no serious training yet. Therefore, in consultation with the team, he has decided not to start in the Giro d'Italia. Christophe Laporte will replace Van Aert in Italy.

pity WvA is also out with a fractured collarbone, fractured rib(s), and fractured sternum. Let's see who can recover and adequately train by the time the TdF rolls around.

that's fine, he already has 2. he can do the Vuelta and the Giro instead

Now it is a race to see who will heal and recover the fastest

Remco also having success surgery https://www.soudal-quickstepteam.com/en/news/6493/remco-evenepoel-update

He is not a TdF contender but here: https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2024/apr/07/australian-cycling-star-jay-vine-avoids-spinal-surgery-after-horror-crash-in-spain

Some good news, Roglic back on his bike and Vingegaard had successful surgery on his collarbone:

Landa taken away in an ambulance with a neck brace on. This race is cursed

**The race was neutralized** after a major crash in the peloton in the descent towards Untzilla, involving a dozen riders slipping out of a corner. Jay Vine and Jonas Vingegaard required ambulance transport, both were quickly reported conscious and stable. Remco Evenepoel, Primoz Roglic, Steff Cras, Jefferson Cepeda, Sean Quinn, Natnael Tesfatsion and Quinten Hermans were also involved; all but Cepeda and Hermans DNFed. The six men in the breakaway at the time raced for the stage win, while the peloton rode neutralized to the finish, and no GC times were taken.

so with the winter slowly approaching in the Cape. I have been wondering how to negotiate running throughout as this will be my first winter. the majority of my runs will be in the afternoons. I think a base layer and a shirt should mostly be fine. maybe a windbreaker in case. anything else seems like overkill, probably. How do you Kaapenaars manage training throughout the winter?

No one will get hurt in the Arenberg when the entire peloton wipes out in the turn before the Arenberg. Big brain move by the Paris Roubaix management

edibles

can i just bring my own doctor to administer my drips in the comfort of my air BnB instead?

Last year WvA won E3, then lost Flanders and Roubaix. Hoping it goes the other way around this year.

you must be fun at parties

1. Charge R 109 900.00 per team for an 8-day stage race 2. Make the first 3 days brutal 3. 120 teams drop out 4. Profit

so basically they have made =/- R 13 200 000 for a 3-day stage race with only 120 participants

You can't really complain if you're trying to watch for free

Oh. Then SBS.
