It's been like that forever at worlds and olympics.

In my opinion, that will be my next bike. I'm about done with the Big Nine, this will be all the upgrade I want.

On review, I think I puncture on average once every three years. I cannot justify this tjoob cost.

So, it's like a group ride any club could arrange any time? What do I get for my entry fee? Lunch? A group ride would stop at a few places for fuelling anyway, cost me about R50. Group organises a van and trailer to get back, chip in R150 fuel cost. I'm not getting it.

It's funny cause under their sponsored teams they still proudly have a picture of Lynette Burger????

Hence me not being a fan...

I am not a Lewis fan, but at least he gets it. - Ayrton Senna.

Time to crack the credit card and embrace my inner weight weenie.

First on the list is Johnson Cyle Works, and I'm pretty sure they have closed down. I question the integrity of that list.

So, you can't just blow up a condom and tie a knot in it and use like five of them per tyre?

I use a spare pair of Shimano road shoes I had in the cupboard...

So, is it never or seen a few?

As of yesterday, 57 confirmed covid positives in the Olympic athletes village alone. I'd also stay the hell away from that place. Especially if I have sporting goals later in the season. Two weeks of isolation will play havoc with your training and preparations - doubly so if you actually get the virus. Hey, Matt, I said covid, but 100% cycling related, yeah?

Well, if you look back to Tour of The Basque Country this year, Vingegaard and Roglic beat Tadej in the final GC standings. That's an underrated, but very tough race. And if you take into account the rest of the top ten, it's not exactly a list of nobodies. This youngster appears to be a proper GC contender.

I reckon he is in every race he starts, I'm sure he's used to it by now.

Only in the Dutch MTB squad, so no road race for him.

Right you are. Is this the first time they come away winless then?

2017, but they did win the teams and overall GC.

Look, it's very nice, but it's not R175k nice.

After he won the Giro with Movistar, he signed with Ineos, after having done that (and it was still secret) he repeatedly told Movistar he would re-sign with them and he was going to stay with them. They reportedly built a team around that commitment.

Yeah, it can make you harder if you're already a killer, or it will make you crumble. Carapaz is no Lance.

Listening to The Move, Hincapie keeps going on about having friends in the peloton. Might be there's some wisdom in that.

Yeah, I'm not a huge fan of the Grenades either.
