  1. He's on a 7.5kg decathlon bike, wait till he rides a yellow s5 😜
  2. yes also where I'm from in Lyon. but even outside of big cities the last few years I never got hooted at despite the roads being much narroer than here, sometimes cars are staying behind me for so long I feel pressure to go faster (when did you last feel that way here? They'd run you over so that they don't waste a second of their time). The shift is possible, but it takes a lot of policing and it's not popular (I hated it, thought my freedom to drive the way I wanted to was more important), but got to give it to them that it worked. On the other hand it generates a lot of money for the government.
  3. I see motorists are so ******* aggressive they're now shooting at each other... tf has gone wrong in this country in the 12 years I've been here. I remember when I left france thinking people were so chilled on the roads here, now it's the opposite. France has become super chilled after years of heavy policing, licences getting suspended after just a couple offenses and very expensive fines. Seems the stick works afterall and SA drivers deserve a lot of it..
  4. can't you open a case against the officer refusing to open a case ?
  5. Yoh wtf… it's time these oxygen thieves get sent to polsmoor for some sweet love
  6. yeah coming back to coverage, most of our races, you go on the organisers IG, they will remind you every step of the way who's in the lead, who's in the chase. Now yesterday they had two choppers and 4K pics throughout the race and I never knew when/how Keegs got away with another guy nor when Keegan was back in the group and that other guy stayed away, how is that even possible. In the meantime you've got the race profile presented by that brand, the classification by some other brand every 5 second...
  7. drew dillman beat marc pritzen, what in the .... 🤯 curious to hear the ins and outs in bonk bros / on the Marc's IG/Youtube to hear how the race unfolded, I went to bed about 1.5 hour into the race last night and was again not so impressed with the coverage anyways
  8. Ftp was spot on what I was training at, VO2 was higher than I thought it would be, but I think not far off what my garmin said at the time (not entirely sure I’ve been on wahoo for a long time since), and the lactate stuff I had no idea so can’t tell. All in all for a guy that likes to geek about that sort of stuff I thought it was interesting and got some insights from it although it can also provide more ideas to be a little too much in your head instead of just stomping.
  9. Leave them in the sun
  10. okay looks like next year I'm not making it past edinburg
  11. have you ever tried to motorpace back into the bunch after a crash ? I promise you Tom was chilling at 280w in the bunch while pogi was doing 550w to try to get back (Also I didn't see him behind any car). Wout I saw behind a car not looking like he was peddling, but he didn't win did he ? Anyways, I was so certain that Pidcock was either going to smoke him in the decent or in the sprint, he looked so good following every attack. Incredible ride from him and even more incredible ride from Tadei, even by his standards ! Also, whatever McNulty is getting paid, they must double his salary, unbelievable how he brought the bunch back on his own, then went to the front of the bunch mid climb, then put everyone in the hurt box (including Del Toro that did a 15secs attack and disappeared). AND HE STILL FINISHED just seconds behind Tadei wtf... this guy in an absolute motorbike
  12. I have the bikebox from bikebox company : + : it folds pretty small, which is very good for the local trips for SA's, Herald, 94.7, etc... it obviously protects the bike really well - : it's pretty quickly took shots, I must have flown to jobug maybe 4 or 5 times with it, + herald, say maybe it has 10 round trips tops. The straps aren't great quality, if one of the clips breaks the box can (and will) partially open, and whatever is open will be ripped appart during transport. My bikes have always come to destination in perfect condition though, so I guess it is a good product, but don't expect to be using it for many many flights, you'll have to replace it after I would say 10-15 trips tops.

    Pritzen pacing in the front while Felix is dropping, woops
  19. I did my 5th this weekend. Seems most of the $ bunch didn't mind riding behind my wheel for the first hour and half 😜
  20. I'd be interested to hear how many DNS on the total entries. We agreed we wouldn't race if it was wet and then once we were there, we ended up racing despite the first few laps being halla dodge (a poor kid even crashed and went in the ambulance during warmup). In the end I didn't see any crash in my race, head of one in the last lap of the vets, but it was fully dry at the time so not due to conditions. Pretty cool race although I have no idea where I placed, we got the bell same lap as the front group that lapped us, so ended up doing one less lap, with some guys in between that dropped from the front group after we got lapped and ended up dropping from our "chase" group too. But I guess when you're not in the front group it doesn't matter 🤣 Maybe we should've been pulled out once lapped, but then it doesn't look good when you have 7 finishers 😅
  21. Shocking behaviour especially from mountainbikers… most of the races I do (road and gravel) you see people throw they’re junk out of their pockets when we ride by waterpoints at least
  22. I’d run airtrak 2.2 front and tracer 50 rear on my crux for that race. Ran getaway’s 50 when I raced it two years ago, but punctured once and more more less ran on the inserts for most of the race.
  23. White bakkies are the 2nd main threat to cyclists after taxis, especially the bangged up ones. sorry for your misfortune, hope you opened a case against this oxygen thief
  24. it's never the bottom bracket
  25. I heard one of the descents is nasty, I'll fit a front insert when I get a chance
