    Bennett, 25, is one of a dozen riders announced for the team, half of whom are Chinese and half non-Asian. South African Willie Smit (Burgos-BH), Dutch riders Reinier Honig and Etienne van Empel, and New Zealander Hayden Strong are all part of the roster. https://www.cyclingnews.com/news/sean-bennett-signs-for-tjallingiis-new-chinese-continental-team/

    Give it a TRI

    shaper replied to Beesrib's topic in Multisport

    Try the Tinman Series that is about to start in Gauteng, it is a little cheaper. I suspect as they want to try to attract entries to make it feasible and viable for future events as they spread out from their Durban base. https://www.entryninja.com/events/77255-tinman-joburg-1

    Give it a TRI

    shaper replied to Beesrib's topic in Multisport

    You better not consider an Ironman 70.3 as that is 5 times that price. A typical running road race will cost your R300+, a road cycle race R400+, the replacement of just a road tire will be R700+ So R700 is not a lot by the time you factor in venue costs, having medical staff available as well as marshals and nutrition out on course. Even with sponsorship they still have to make a profit as it is a business and there are still other costs on top of what have mentioned. (barriers/transition area/tents/signs/public liability insurance etc) Perhaps you should re-evaluate what things costs these days, and also realise that the sport of triathlon is not cheap, and that does not factor in the entry cost.

    New Garmin Fenix 6

    shaper replied to shaper's topic in New Gear

    Just in time as Suunto implodes and is about to go under (probably) https://www.dcrainmaker.com/2022/01/suunto-sold-to-new-owners-again.html Would expect many to jump ship from Suunto to Garmin

    Keep the wheel on trainer you have and get the direct drive. Then you can have your individual bikes on each trainer. Or as you said in your last point fit a 7 speed cassette to the new direct drive trainer and you should be fine using your old MTB's. Many do https://forums.zwift.com/t/7-speed-cassette-on-a-direct-drive-trainer/524423/5

    Less than last year

    Who cares?!? You have your records for the year and you will know if you hit your own target or not. Do you really need something from Strava as vindication? Because it does not look as good now to post to social media where no one really cares anyway!!

    You may want to say where you are located if you want a studio near to you. Otherwise read on the wattbike website about the tests you can do and how to do them to get your FTP and from there your training zones.

    Romours confirmed https://www.cyclingnews.com/news/deceuninck-ceo-takes-swipe-at-patrick-lefevere-after-switching-sponsorship-to-alpecin-fenix/
  22. shaper
    Comments on other sites I have read is that Patrick refuses to consider a woman's team and Deceuninck are looking to tap into that market, but who knows? Also rumour is that Soudal are moving to Quick-Step
  23. shaper
    Alpecin Fenix to have Deceuninck as a sponsor and seems to have ended their sponsorship of Quick-Step.... https://road.cc/content/news/cycling-live-blog-1-december-2021-288271?fbclid=IwAR22J9uw86M6TpejvjSWlP0h3realYVzHvBWfTVkUtRYUDO6odnRYHh_Srs
