  1. Much nicer than that EF Education time trial helmet i saw yesterday, damn its so ugly there dont seem to be any pictures available of it
  2. I'm hoping Froomie is feeling the effects of his last Tenerife training camp, all those steep hills ( Chris Froome trains up 'steepest climb in the world' as he feels 'closer to where he needs to be' before Tour de France | Cycling Weekly ) and high altitude coupled with a lack of form and then his TT yesterday does not look to bad ???? it was a bastard of a course and quite a few riders lost more time than would be expected on a 16km TT. With the TDF having 2 ITT (58 km of TT) its yet again another not so good a sign for Spiderman. That being said, there were also some exceptional performances, notably Lukas Pöstelberger who TT'd like a real pro... don't think he got out of the TT position very much, a good example of TT skills, and then Izagirre as well
  3. I was also thinking that Nino is training for the Olympics as a main goal and during the time of the last few races he would not be at his best because of the training / fatigue, we all know his training routines are legendary and he would have to up the ante to have a hope of beating MVP and Pidcock. Ja its a long shot.... time will tell
  4. Yeah i saw it happen and was watching froomie for awhile before that as he was drifting and hanging on the back. Did not mean to imply he missed a split (actually i said "not just froomie got "dropped") but rather that there were quite a few time splits, meaning gaps
  5. There were quite a few splits in yesterdays stage, not just froomie got "dropped" Yesterdays stage was easy peezy compared to the coming weekend stages, lets see what happens then.... drum roll (dreaded drum roll or circus drum roll remains to be seen)
  6. Well done Your Mums words are so true ???? been there
  7. Up the berg for a glorious sunset
  8. Caruso ????
  9. Cheers Simon Yates battery needs deep cycling
  10. At least 6 motor bikes between the leaders and Bernal group wtf for.....
  11. Caruso lights his rocket ???? Bardet holding on Martinez working hard to close the gap Yates waiting....
  12. Hehe Vlasov.... slaps the motorbike rider on the arm for providing a few seconds of draft for Bernal
  13. Nutting, busy scheming
  14. Ineos running out of riders Bernals lower lip starting to quiver
  15. Like a penguin... love it
  16. Quack off ????
  17. Yeah I’ll be the one not walking with my toes in the air when the group stops at the friendly pora for a coke n Chelsea bun ???? Durianrider??
  18. It’s actually the clever thing to do, when you stop they are much easier to walk around with and you won’t look like a duck walking on ice. For example at coffee / coke stops. Just clean the mud and trail dust off them, then no one will even notice. Been riding with time atacs on all my bikes (road, Tri and mtb) for years, with the latest craze of gravel bikes it makes even more sense now.
  19. Swiss Airforce F5 crashes in the Alps this morning, video shows the pilot ejected shortly before the plane crashes. The pilot was recovered without serious injuries https://www.20min.ch/video/so-sah-der-absturz-des-kampfjets-ueber-melchsee-frutt-aus-890904871331
  20. These mx fans take their chain saws quite serious They even try make them look like bikes
  21. Tour de Suisse starts next week Sunday, 6 June cow ????
  22. Nothing sinister going on here, I expect they had chainsaw motors without the blade, purely for adding to the atmosphere thru loud sound effects. its fairly common practice past at outdoor MX and sometimes downhill events for fans to rev the 2 stroke motors just before the start or when the leader or their favorites come past, never seen it at road cycling tho.....
  23. I still have a few tubes from our last visit to sportsman’s warehouse.... my wife wears her running shoe heels down very quickly and I just build them up again ????
  24. Nowadays days I replace my running shoes at about 500 km, although my last pair of hoka’s still feel ok and they are now just over 600km and I still use them sometimes even though they are wearing thin on the forefoot ( my shoes always wear out on the forefoot first)
  25. When I started running on a regular basis I had a pair of converse running shoes, they lasted a *few years of running and gym.... that was last century tho, when men were men and running shoes were... tekkies * also before gps watches, when training logs were hand written and distances unknown
