    I have done many stage races and many SBR laps. I need some laps for the Race to the Sun. I will gladly ride with you on Saturday and /or Sunday to share whatever I can. Win Win. I am not fast. 2:20 to 2:15 laps but I am prepared to answer what I can. LET ME KNOW Cheers
  2. TALUS
    You are ready.

    You are referring to THIS Fantasy league..... ??
  4. TALUS
    Most of the top teams have LOTS of sprinters. Little light on GC and not many young riders. To paraphrase Naas Botha "the Fantasy Tour isnt won in the first week".

    I should have listened to my head. Cavendish.....dammit

    I got my pink slip. Sadly my Lynskey Gravel Grinder got lost in Miami. The Boss wants to do the accommodation. I have 30 days to make a comeback. What tyres?

    Never let facts spoil a good story.... Placebo is stronger than anything.

    Karma is tough on this one. Nothing like your saga but … My new Lynskey that I ordered with this in mind got lost (in Miami....). Now a new bike is being built. Tried to book accommodation for 2 days. All failed due to electronic?software crap and now I cannot get my entry in. Man I am looking at a lot of punctures or something if I ever get to the start.

    I used to do testing. It is amazing how invasive it actually is. Naked between knees and navel. Fully sighted. I dont know the current "specs". And females get tested too.... I would choose to have a blood test.

    I didn't know abou the early bird thingy.... A little Hub exception?? Please.. I think it is time to swop out the Panorama. IF I can get accommodation I suppose.

    Should have been a Friday thread....

    I think the reality (read lawyer's letter) explaining the consequences if Chris was prevented from starting the race and THEN cleared later on helped a lot. The science was on the table a while ago.
  13. TALUS
    I warned of this a while ago. Test is not designed for this. Poef sal spat...

    All the eggs in one (fragile) basket. Big gamble. I really hope it comes off

    The lady at JhB check-in just asked me whether it was a bike. I said yes. She immediately tagged it and called a guy to take it away. Appeared to be routine. Bologna I had to have it tagged but then take it to a different place myself. Took some time. My third year doing the Giro trip. Routine still the same. Maybe I am lucky.
  16. TALUS
    I recently did Jhb to Bologna via Dubai. Emirates. Evoc bag loaded to 22.5kg. No problems either way (incredibly pathetic service at the oversize receiving back at OR Tambo though).

    I have a good core but constant back ache. Changed many things. Nothing helped. Put a unsightly riser stem on (roadbike). Big difference. Just saying - if you are not a pro the "sit up and beg" position could be the answer.

    I think there may be a difference in the way golfers and cyclists (the core) view life. I cycling Karma does her thing.... And sometimes we need other cyclists just to make it home. Just saying...
  19. TALUS
    Very similar to my info. Also they NEED him to plea bargain alternatively the backlash and legal implications will be massive. I think this is going to turn out very different to what the pitchfork crowd hoped for.
  20. TALUS
    So what if there is a court case and the end result is that the test was never designed for use in doping control? What if it shown that the test is not accurate enough? What size of claims will come from previous banned riders and from Froome and Sky? Is everyone sure that Sky/ Froome wants this to drag out? Surely they are tired of the hammering. Who says it isnt WADA that is scrambling to get their response ready to the data that was submitted? Just asking.... (Based on a VERY interesting conversation with an knowledgeable person)
  21. TALUS
    I have had only very good dealings here. I am sure I will get burnt but I dont even do the most basic checks....I like to believe cyclists are good people
  22. TALUS
    Thank you. I will start stat
  23. TALUS
    Please point me in the right direction. Half of my Order from Lynskey is in my shed . The other half disappeared into the JIMC dungeon. Where do I start? Please help.
  24. TALUS
    For the fans: Next year you can do 2 races (Degli Squali and Nove Colli) and watch a time trial within 7 days and based in one spot. The place lives for cycling. Great Giro again!! Now for that other less exciting race...

    Ek het lanklaas hierdie draad raak gelees. Lekker man lekker... Het iemand nog 'n skakel na Maryna se Gynae ondersoek?
