McD23

how do you get this ?

Not a complete Sagan fan..but dam that was impressive for a so called sprinter to be up there mixing it with heads of state on final climb, impressive!

Second this, blatant bad sportsmanship and nearly ruins fellow competitors chances, Sir Tjop in my books and Karma looking out nicely by ensuring he doesn't get to start today, well done Karma!

Cav you Spaz! Jensie you Beauty!

to me its as simple as, if you want to make a successful living as a pro cyclist you have to dope..like many of us stretch our expense claims when we submit our tax returns, or manipulate some figures in order to lessen the tax burden, which is essentially illegal and we can be charged with, many of them dope to gain an advantage, ironically it is not illegal and many of the armchair critics who do engage in illegal transgressions occasionally ( think drunk driving ) are the first to stand in the queue to stone the 'dopers' trying to make a living..is it right ,no..but they must earn money to survive and are victim to an entrenched culture that goings to take a lot more than publically crucifying Lance Armstrong to fix..my two cents.

Cycling is not alone as a professional sport in using peds. If any of the other professional sports involving endurance and athleticism where subjected to the same testing protocol as professional cycling there would be far less raised eyebrows about cycling.

keen, but need a ct based course.

I do the same as JC. Have been LCHF or 2 years now. I like to think race hard ( 2nd in Knysna re:cm 200 recently ) my partner is carb fuelled for the record. I have learnt for me what works best is 'fuel to race' , I take whole carbs during an event, that's breakfast,lunch and supper. Outside of event I am LCHF, on higher and longer intensity training rides I will take an energy bar with, and have a recovery shake as well.

guess who my new group ride friends are lol

Worst thing to happen to cycling...unless British. Watching paint dry is on par with their and Sky's tactic's in the Tour. Of course this is only my opinion, but then we all entitled to our own opinion.

nothing more than Lance no doubt , or all the other previous Tour winners

well then he got a problem on his hands it appears, maybe he better call Lance and ask for some advice

who cares , nobody worries about the biggest loser in a race it will blow over now he hasn't won

agreed was an awesome event! Fun, nice vibe, good route, overall very glad I did it, was a last minute dot com decision. Will be back next year. And I still feel this way even with 4 punctures and taking a wrong turn on first day ( our fault!)

I'm so happy we got so many good ( modest ) riders coming through the ranks internationally. Goodbye and good riddance Wiggins

Please tell me you have reported it to the police !?

You Sir are a Capitalists dream..

not from the white ring/cover, that's sits proud by about 1mm, doesn't make contact with frame.

is that a factory thing or shop thing ?

Took it back to shop today, they sending it in. Lets see what agents have too say, hopefully resolved quickly. Ironically my Cannondale mtb is also in with warrantee issue so I am bikeless at the moment !

so are they coming to Sa in august ?

If you enjoy that read, get a book Mcmafia, very interesting..!

no. it certainly didn't look like that when I bought it!

thanks, will chat to bike shop Monday.
