    its been a while since I've been this excited about the tour...every stage will be a great race.

    Pogi has yet to drop Roglic on a climb...30-35min climbs would play to Jonas's strengths.

    The sprinters will have their day...but can they challenge Wout over the lumps...

    KOM...will the French flair be enough to beat Woodsie/Jacob...

    And can QS help me not sit at the bottom of the fantasy league.

     

    😬 lekker Yves. Lekker Eve vir jou my maat.

    Having owned and loved my 2020 SLR Madone - i must say the logic makes sense in the new bike.

    The IsoSpeed on the rear was a set and forget affair - I had mine set in the most compliant position both for riding and racing - and I loved how much the bike soaked up road noise. It felt like a jet fighter - above everything (the road), like the road was not even felt. It did give a bit of a muted ride feel but i loved it considering the state of JHB roads.

    Hearing the IsoFlow is more like being set in the firmest position - i'd like to try one out. 

    I expect it might feel harsher. But would also correct the subtile misbalance felt in the older bike. The front was firmer than the rear and could be felt no matter what setting the IsoSpeed was set to.

    That said, i still absolutely love and miss my old Madone.

     

    Its nice to see a frameset that looks different from the rest - there is no mistaking its a Trek. Most other aero bikes all somewhat look like they fell out the same mold. 

    Not having ridden top end bikes like these...the Trek is the only main brand really appealing to me.

    Just for a case like this with Cav being excluded, I feel after x-amount of stage wins or whatever, a rider should have an automatic place in the race, same as the Golf PGA Lifetime card some players received which means they don't have to qualify. And then said riders team should be allowed to add an extra rider.. Oh well...

    Cav has had enough chances while riding for DD to go for the record.

    Following this thread with interest as I was thinking of getting the 4iiii left crank to beef up my dumb-trainer setup. I have Dura Ace 7800 on my roadbike on the trainer and I was wondering if it’s best to get a new crank as they seem to be having a sale, or is it an option to send my existing crank in to have the module fitted? My wheel-on trainer setup consists of a cadence and speed sensor along with the HR monitor. This is great for zone 2 workouts but doing HIIT sessions it’s not very accurate without a PM. 
     

    Thoughts?

    Why are you the way you are? 😋

    Save that groupset for a vintage build.
