Yeah, fortunately it was the Duster, so there's some space under it.

At first I couldn't figure out why it only took 500ml oil to get the engine oil at the correct level on the dipstick. Then there was copious swearing at trying to locate and open the filler plug for the gearbox. Then about a week later I was ready to laugh about it.

I did an oil change on the car and drained the gearbox instead of the sump.

Ah, explains the roads this weekend. People cramming for the exams after neglecting their studies for a year, as it were.

Yeah, I'm gonna lose money betting on Evenepoel, aren't I? I see the folly of expecting threads on real cycling. I didn't realise the world funride champs was around the corner.

When is the Aurgust happening?

No thread? You guys disappoint.

Really? I mean he's good, but he's not the most fluid and poetic on the pedals.

So happy for Valverde! He's like on the best form of his life in his retirement year. Chapeau. What a rider. What an icon. To overcome all his trouble and still be at the top. Brilliant. Also a shout out to Simmons. Way to put the bull**** sanction behind you.

I'm so torn by this result. I love Jumbo-Visma (men's and ladies), but I'm also a huge Ash (and especially Demi Vollering) SD Worx fan.

PM me your address, I have something to send you:

I don't know this 5th avenue. I remember 5th avenue cold duck.

Yeah. The perspective in oom Ben's pic doesn't really tell us how steep it is. But I do think there are worse hills in Alberton.

Dunno where your pic is taken, but Voortrekker up towards Steeldale appears far worse.

Yeah, dunno about Kyle. Just deal with Thomas directly.

Wonder why Contador got ****** then? Political?

And het Hageland:

We need a good old-fashioned wheel size debate.

Might get easier if you actually put pedals on it.

I didn't know you were Australian.

I assume this Paul bint is the AG2R/Citroen rider? WTF was he trying to poach the Bahrain rider's wheel? That looked like a pretty normal incident to me. Paul needs to grow up and learn some racing/bunch riding etiquette.

I tried that once. She ordered me an Uber.

Maintenance. What they've done is trash the place. All the character has gone out of the routes now, especially how they've flattened out the bottom red section. Quite frankly, it sucks now.
