The Ghost

Ah yes thanks, a good antihistamine that. I used to carry an epipen but they have such a short shelf life and are very expensive.

That’s the 2nd post about a bee sting in recent times. Are any of you allergic to bees and if so what do you do/ carry on the bike? It’s one of my biggest concerns in summer and I’m in the countryside, especially swallowing one and being stung in the throat; I seem to swallow a fair amount of gogos [emoji85]

I don’t see anyone beating him in multi day tours this year.

Pogacar for the win here I recon

P-N Whoa! That’s how to finish a stage.

Sam [emoji1132] using today and yesterday as training days. Leading the breakaway for a long time, up hill [emoji1] Don’t see that often.

Okay which one of you UAE boys was this? https://youtu.be/cqLnsDI5_Qw

And not share the excitement? [emoji33][emoji1]

Stylish stuff. Mind you that hill was rather steep at that point and at that pace.

Saw this while watching the other race, might have to stay off here on multiple race days; the downside of one thread when there’s multiple races on the go.

Okay thanks, It’s still under warranty I believe so I’ll reach out to them. [emoji1303] It will just suck to be without it in this weather.

What a great day in the tours for DQT. [emoji3515][emoji1132] and JA [emoji1319]. Tirreno has such a field, it’s going to be interesting to watch. So sad to see Tony Martin pull out injured though.

My wahoo kickr (1500km old) is starting to make a strange whining noise that’s getting louder, I’ve seen a few people have opened them up and done a bit of service to them; is this easy and recommended or should I rather be getting hold of Wahoo for a replacement / repair? Anyone got any experience with this?

Boet! We left fourways around 6 or so years ago and back then it was already filled with people itching to prove something with their fists etc - so this doesn’t surprise me one bit. While it is less so in some places, SA in general seems to have this need to be aggressive.

So something I’ve seen a couple of times now is this issue of riders seemingly not being able to change gears (as per Remy today), the commentators go on about Di2 going into a safe mode or whatever and being unable to change until it’s reset. Is this something that we can expect to see a fair bit of this year? It would be a real pity if it ruined a riders race [emoji58]

Mmmmmm mostly skip, unless you are interested in the crash (can’t remember what I’m that was at). It’s tough having to watch two races [emoji1]

I’ve never understood the appeal of sports where people try to out moer each other.

A new action camera option for those interested. It’s remarkably small! https://youtu.be/ih3UU_ezLrk https://youtu.be/mZsmTIltXFU

No Dan Martin or Woods at Tirreno Adriatico https://www.stickybottle.com/latest-news/irelands-dan-martin-forced-out-of-tirreno-adriatico-on-eve-of-italian-race/?fbclid=IwAR1pdUMqoZHgG-bq2fclf65_UpDwdwIrbzXV9OhW15DGFg6n4_xQtLDivlM

This guy is doing a 24hr ride (UK I think) if anyone wants to ride along in support

Early season diminished skills maybe [emoji2371]

Well DQS messed that up hopelessly [emoji849] a couple hundred meters out and Sam was gapped already; I’m surprised he even managed to get back into the frame by the line.

George has rejoined the peloton

Wow he’s now so far behind the peloton it’s going to be unpleasant for him from here.

George Bennett down. Looks okay but needs a new lid.
