After some remarkable successes over the past year and a tough crash in April this guy, on his hard-to-miss ride, said it would be a win just to arrive in Como today. Romain Bardet DNS'd, no reason given. Edit: Also, looking forward to see if Maincheese might be up for it.

Well done, 360° vigilance wins the day.

The club's chief football and money clouts meet today. Ruud van Nistelrooy was mostly summoned to step in, I reckon.

Have to agree with one of the greatest football writers, while watching I too thought that was a nailed-on second yellow and a send off for Rashford. Consistency issues, this league's match officials are the worst in that regard.

Mrs Lill going great guns and looking like she's up for it. Go Candice!

Am very much enjoying the insights in this year's Eurosport DH coverage production with more rider insights into their prep and personal approaches to competition.

Hah! 😂😎 The ex-wife and those other partners who hung around for a while and even the domestic worker still have some catching up to my ironing skills. Dankie korporaal.

I watched several Champions League matches last night and I found it refreshing that one hardly notices the referees. They're not trying to be a talking point.

Saints captain Jack Stephens had an adventurous visit to Man United. A 5 match ban, 3 "cvnts" allegations aimed at match officials, and just 1 "You fvcking little tw@t" at the ref.

Simply stunning, along with a league record of four goals in one half.

Last weekend to an opposing manager: "Stay humble!" This weekend: ... 😜

Hmmm... Red card happy Michael Oliver has issued 5 red cards against Tottenham and Everton players, 4 against Leicester, 3 against Man United, 3 against West Ham, 3 against Aston Villa, 2 each against West Brom and Chelsea and and Stoke and Burnley and Southampton, and 7 against Arsenal. Zero prizes for guessing which is the one team that he has not penalised with a red card in the 47 of their matches that he refereed. Got it in one, the same team owners who pay him double to work in the UAE.

Doku and Silva kick the ball away to prevent Arsenal from taking quick free kicks, Doku was especially blatant kicking the ball at least 10ft away, and Trossard gets another yellow and a send-off for doing the same. Then PGMOL change their tune for why he was carded. Nah fam, with Man City's owners (the same individuals and the same company) paying Michael Oliver double the usual fee to ref in the UAE, the conflict of interest is obvious. Legendary ref Pierluigi Collina had an absolute go at Oliver's decisions, calling them not just "terrible mistakes" but also "stupid". He favoured the same team against Liverpool with another crucial and blatantly incorrect decision last year. Kovacic's nightmare tackle unpunished, there are so many... His excuse for not sending Kovacic off? "I didn't want to ruin the spectacle of the game." 101 restarts have been delayed in the league thus far. 4 cards. 3 of them Arsenal players. Seriously biased. The league is rotten. Even Goldbridge is seething at the inconsistency and bias and he hasn't stopped yet. Goldbridge? Standing up for Arsenal being hard done by? Must be serious. Then they apologise. PGMOL formally apologised to Arsenal 3 times last year in decisions that cost the club 8 points. When the league is decided by cheating/incompetent match officials...

This Cape Town Collective bit seems like too much effort for the payoff, but then Katie Hopkins speaks.

Nah, here's why. The new wheelset may be non-boost 100mmX15mm front and 12mm rear, but more likely 110X15 (front) and 148X12 (rear). That QR frame is 100mmX9mm front and 135mm wide at the rear. A through-axle to QR adaptor can not fit into that QR frame as is. There is a way to widen the rear dropouts on alu frames. It's risky though and I wouldn't chance it on a frame I want to keep. Also dropouts won't be perfectly parallel after that. I did that solution I offered earlier (putting the old rear hub onto the new upgrade wheelset) on a QR frame I really like, along with a Marzocchi Bomber Z2 fork that came off a new bike. Lucky me got it at 75% off the retail price. This solution works. Very happy with it and mostdef worth it as well, especially on the trails. PS. Am a bit intrigued by your pseudonym, what's the connection if I may ask? FWIW I would have been on a medevac with an Alouette III that ditched into the sea off Cape St Francis after losing power (edit: suddenly losing all power). I had taken a day's leave because the Supers and Seal Point waves were going to pump. My mates and colleagues on that Alouette were badly injured with one being paralysed below the waist. Almost as nuts, I was in the surf lineup at Seal's when I saw my colleagues overhead on their way to that disastrous medevac.

Not an option, he's going from QR to through-axle as seen in his pics.

Both sets have 32 holes so pretty easy if you put your old hubs (+ convenient for a hub service) onto the new wheels if spokes are still an appropriate length. Eliminates cassette and disc compatibility concerns as well if those are still good. If spokes tend to bust after that you prolly need to replace spokes, perhaps best to fit new spokes from the off. A lower-cost and pretty easy option for upgrading those stock hoops. Even better if those newer hoops also have a wider ID, BONUS.

Day 1 761 as rugby World Cup champions. Meanwhile, spotted in Auckland this week, a promotional poster with a bit of a typo.

Several thousands of healthcare professionals were subjected to my lectures on such. Thank goodness that learning tech has come as far as it has, we gobbled it all up. Whole body interactive and reactive simulators and reporting are astonishingly good.
