  1. Damn !! where was this stuff when I was studying ... 🤪 Back then (1985 first year), the only thing we could exploit was Bioplus (caffeine) .... 🙈🤪😂 Edit: For some it helped/worked, it only made me way too "jittery", not worth it.
  2. Off course, the one that secure their income .... 🙈
  3. Unfortunately I cant think of a single government connected institution that actually function efficiently 😪.
  4. I been waiting for this for a very long time, also stuck somewhere in SAPO. Its a warranty replacement X-Cadey power-meter 🙈. I sent an email to them, this was the response 🤦‍♂️: "Good day Theo Grové, LF060182124SG – dispatched to Alberton North GPO since 29/06/2023, in process for delivery delayed due operational reasons - more details will be provided as soon as a dispatch is available. Kind Regards, Eugenia Nobuhle Kekana Eugenia.Kekana@postoffice.co.za Customer Services South African Post Office SOC Limited Landline: 0860 111 502"
  5. Would have been nice to see Louis in that mix, so sad that he is out ... 😪
  6. Agree. imho Pog look mentally very much down & out. Lets see what he can do on stage 20.
  7. Sad to see him out, was looking forward to at least one stage win, BUT, family comes first ...
  8. I think the fact that Tadej could not properly drop Jonas have broken his spirits somewhat. He is for sure not the same guy that did the exact same thing to Primoz Roglic a few years ago. If he was in that state of mind, I'm sure he would have been a lot closer to Jonas yesterday. Edit: Also in hind sight, swapping bikes was a mistake which increased the deficit to Jonas.
  9. Agree, Primoz needs to make a move to maybe Ineos, not that I would like him in another team other than JV.
  10. It will make things very interesting though with Jonas, Tadej, Primoz and Remco in the same grand tour.
  11. Not that he is nearly as likable as the other 3, but imagine if Remco is added to that mix .... 🙈
  12. Suddenly Mr ChrisHorner changed his mind, Jonas is now his No1 in the world .... 🤣 He reckon Primoz should change teams asap. I tend to agree, but would not be nice seeing him riding for another team. BUT, wouldn't it be awesome to see a proper 3 way race next year .... ?
  13. It would be foolish to say its over, with Pog you never know .... But, Jona's job is now simple (not easy but simple), sit on Pog like glue and WHEN/IF you spot a weakness hit him hard ... imho ..... ☺️ Edit: After watching the TT, I'm pretty sure Pog wont drop Jonas on the up or down and also his sprint has far less bite to it.
  14. Awesome by Jonas !!!!
  15. Just probably a stupid question guys, I'm not a roadie at all so please educate me. Would it not be worthwhile to have a sort of "hybrid" bike for todays stage? Being a compromise between a TT and a climbing bike? Does something like that exist or am I talking a lot of crap? 🤪
  16. Yip, impossible to separate the 2 at the moment, I'm holding thumbs for Jonas however 😊
  17. Agree, the only smoke I maybe see is the stuff @babse is on .... 🤪😁😂
  18. I might die trying, but I would love to attempt it at least 🤪
  19. I paid ~R9k for my old GX AXS and its worth every penny, shifting is flawless and the battery almost last for ever ... 🤪 Been on XT & XTR before and yes the shifting is great but nothing beats the no wires/cables, the bzzz bzzz sound and the also flawless shifting on the AXS, just mho .... 😊.
  20. Agree, those cranks and also the X01/XX1 ones, looking very good ! Edit: Shimano need to step up their game big time to be able to compete with this, just to get onto level pegging is going to be a huge challenge.
  21. Very nice ! Sound like the price is also no going to be too bad ~$1000. Unfortunately I'm stuck on non UDH for a long time now, old GX AXS is running like a charm though .... 😁
  22. I also did the update but no such battery issues. I have 2 batteries that I alternate but both of them lasting many hours of riding.
  23. Yes especially the legs part of the drive-train .... 🤪
  24. Agree !!! Feite, Wout is n YSTER ! No one else can do the job he did yesterday.
  25. What will Jumbo/Jonas's plan be today, sit on Pogi's wheel or attack again? Regardless, its going to be another interesting day !!! Edit: One things for sure Jumbo & UAE will not allow another top 10 contender to fly off in the distance again.
