pedal menace

No Milo this year? - Milo and milk was my favourite last year!

At the risk of it being mentioned before (apologies if it has)..... Interesting observation: 21 Teams Total. 17 on Shimano Dura Ace. Only 4 on SRAM AXS. Shimano still clearly the favourite. Isn't it the other way around when it comes to MTB's? SRAM there more popular?

Watching all my cycling via discovery+. Works perfectly and is exactly like GCN+ used to be - even with usual commentators. I had to jump through a few hoops (see below - nothing difficult) - but once done - I watch with no issues at all.

Must be..and the 151 other riders in the peloton on disc brakes had no issues.

Agree - he would make a most awesome DS. I am sure he has enough gezillions to retire in comfort and put so much back into the sport. I just personally feel his insistence to continue and overselling his capabilities now does more harm than good.

Criterium-du-dauphine: After Stage 2....I have the world of respect for Froom - he is a legend! But......Finished yesterday way way behind the peloton, behind many sprinters. Was there an issue? None that I could see/hear. It was a hilly stage, but by no means considered a big mountain stage. Those are still coming. And he still persists he really wants to get into the team's TdF squad. Froomie - buddy - perhaps it really is time to move on. You do not have to proof yourself to anyone anymore. Your palmarès speaks for itself!

Noticed the website contains profile and other info TX!! But I see no info in terms of race registration - when and where?

My membership account now states: I recall it was $14.99 last month

Yup saw that - so will likely be around $23 after taxes I guess. That is becoming quite steep. Yes one can argue it is the first price increase in (I think) 5 years - but still - that is ouch. FulGaz is a lot cheaper! Guess I will cancel today (again)

Yup you can watch on demand. Has a scroll bar that you can drag back at any time or again click the "Live" button to jump back to live feed.

Just for info - use it don't use it. 1. Subscribed to NordVPN . Just got charged $93 for 28 months. About 60 bucks a month. Very very easy. 2. Created a "dummy" gmail account and entered all details UK based. Very very easy 3. On my Android TV Box simply signed in with this UK gmail user. Very very easy 4. On my Android box installed NordVPN App and logged onto UK server. Very very easy 5. Android TV Box immediately assumed I am UK based and viola the Discovery+ App was available to download from Google App store. Very very easy 6. Subscribed to Discovery+ via the web. Very very easy. 7. Arranged with a friend in the UK to log in using my Discovery+ credentials and subscribed to Discovery+ with her UK Credit Card. About 7 Pounds/month. Not so easy - as one need a friend with a UK Card willing to do this. 8. Use whatever means there is to transfer 7 Pounds from your account to friend's UK account. Very very easy but be clever about it as international SWIFT fees could be expensive. Pay your friend a year in advance and only pay one SWIFT transfer fee. 9. On Android Box where Discovery+ is installed, you are signed in with your Google UK Account and your NordVPN is logged onto a UK server - it works perfectly. Eurosport Sport and many other channels and all in HD. Yes I have a fairly good fibre line but this Sunday watched Paris-Roubaix buffer free with the usual GCN gang doing commentary - before, during and after the race. Loved it!! All in all a fairly easy process. Dare I say: Very very easy? 🤣

So finally got a "friend" in the UK to use his card to subscribe me to Discovery Plus. With a VPN and a little tweak here and a little tweak there, I am fully on Discovery Plus watching cycling on Euro Sport in HD quality (ZERO BUFFERING). I am soooooooo happy again! Proper commentary, no adds and lots of coverage! There is hope in this world! 😀

Tx - seems you will have to make your phone look like it's in the UK. VPN perhaps.

Hmmm...giving me an idea here. If I use VPN (to UK) and open an Android/Google UK account - can one transfer a credit into that account and pay for a subscription via the credit balance (i.e. it is not charging your card, but using the credit balance). Perhaps need to give that a bash. But can you transfer rands into a UK Google account? Can you even have a credit balance or is card payment the only allowed option. Sorry just my mind churning.

Ahh typical Apple...🤪Received my Android refund In January already. Sorry - one cannot miss and opportunity for a stab at Apple..🤣
