  1. Definitely a stage for Kudus. he weighs a ridiculous 56kg.
  2. I use my campy cassette removal on shimano cassettes. Not a good fit, but it does the trick the spacing on 11 spd cassettes between shimano and campag are min. Thats why it will work even better than 10spd.
  3. I remember the first mountain stage in last years tour, sky was dominating, the next day. only froomey was left to fend for himself. luckily they had a rest day there after. Think stage 8&9. Movistar was mostly responsible for stage 9s drama. Then again in the xwinds, think stage 16, saxo blew everything wide open. Only froome again. So we will see, does make everything interesting. Exactly what the drugs did, made cycling entertaining.
  4. Stage has been shortened due to some snow.
  5. Say whaaaaat? Lance was also one with one of the highest VO2max. EPO, Oxygen tents all contributes. With arms like that, i doubt he is all natural. unless he works as a mechanic servicing diesel trucks.
  6. what a team to have around you at the tour, rogers and kreuziger
  7. Don't think Froome is in the same shape this year than he was in last year, and Berto is flying this year, so is everyone else, except team sky.
  8. Hope he can be fresh on Friday as that climb looks seriously steep.
  9. Thats a great result for young Kudus. Kudus to him
  10. Followed a bit on twitter, sure sounded animated. Great result for our champ!
  11. The weather has cleared in the eastern cape, well hope so. I did an audit there last year for 3 months. good luck, no place for sissies. I stayed in mt frere and rode my idt in the bathroom twice a week preparing for Amashova. travel safely.
  12. Well even the history books say Mike Ross went to Harvard, but did he actually? So history books mean jack
  13. Just watched the last 8km, Valverde launched his attack at the perfect spot, thats experience for you. Think Kwitiakowski was probably the strongest, but inexperienced.
  14. what do they say: you can never put a price on performance.
  15. Recently hunter allen did a 20week training phase, spending all the time, ie 50min of an hour in his sweetspot. after 20 weeks he had a FTP increase of 20%. Thats really not bad figures. I can see myself doing something like that, however I think my mind will explode of boredom.
  16. with an IF of 1.12
  17. did this about 3weeks ago. I could barely turn the pedals for the last 30sec sessions.
  18. Could you guys please elaborate?
  19. I'm also looking for one. let me know if you find one.
  20. Get a wahoo kickr, you dont need a rear wheel and you get a pretty good trainer
  21. I wished you said this a year ago, last year August went out for a cold winters thursday morning ride, I had flu for the passed 2 weeks and it was TransBaviaans on the Saturday. so I had to ride, just to feel if the legs were there. I felt my left ear had a hectic "wind noise" and till today its still not 100s. Started fast and furious in the baviaans and after 4km felt like I was dying, lactic acid got the best of me and I wanted to quit right there and then. I soldiered on with stiff legs and a sky high heart rate all the way. just couldnt drop my partner who trained all winter.
  22. Golden Cheetah, still want to know more how to analyse, but I guess, training with it, does have an improvement already.
