Apparently not the Announcement of Culling of NCR Content thread anymore:

Like this: https://www.ridley-bikes.com/en_US/bikes/platform/Helium I had an older version of one these.... Man it was a thing of beauty.

If you were on an indoor trainer, you could have just thrown all your gloves and jackets and stuff on the floor without having to worry about jersey pockets..... ???? But yes, a jacket is marginally cheaper than a trainer. And a jacket doesn't require a monthly zwift subscription.

This works well to alleviate the entire problem..... ???? https://www.cyclelab.com/product/wahoo-kickr-core-indoor-trainer?utm_campaign=13337235599&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_content=525085504260&utm_term=&adgroupid=122269878919&gclid=CjwKCAjw2ZaGBhBoEiwA8pfP_pZPGCpW0CBjZEetIJOh_UDBlsC7KHen2jLH8KzlD67ush5tqncHhBoCDG4QAvD_BwE My approach though is a thermal base layer (I'm a fan of the Assos ones), and a wind-layer similar to the jacket Ciovita jacket Steady Spin suggested. And then knee warmers, toe covers, softshell gloves and a casquette (cap). I think keeping your head, hands and feet warm changes the game though. I almost feel like you can get away with less "warmth" on your body and legs if you keep your hands and feet warm.

Wonder if the Legends Trailseeker is also going to be cancelled

What a ride from Martinez

Next year he'll be at Ineos ????

Martinez singing his swan song tearing everyone's legs off..... I wonder how much he has left in the tank Yates looks good for another stage win if Martinez pulls Caruso back

Almeida dangling off the back..... Wouldn't be surprised if he somehow attacks in a few kms

Caruso looks like a man on a mission...

Castravoviejo doing a good job tiring Martinez out before the climb...

What qualifies as a supertuck?

You can't win the Giro on the descent, but you can definitely loose it... Looks horrible. I wouldn't even walk down that road.

Yates, Almeida, Vlasov surprise attack 1km to the top? Followed by team time trial up to 1km to go on the last climb and then every man for himself? ????

Stepped away for a while.... What happened to Yates?

Would love to see them try something outrageous and Yates going for the win. It'll have to be next level outrageous (border line Floyd Landis stuff) though to make up 3 minutes on Bernal. But if that's the plan, why on earth are Bike Exchange pacing? Surely it would make more sense to make Ineos pace on the flats?

Maybe his DS can knock them down in a feed zone? ????

If Yates wants to win, he's gonna have to isolate Bernal on the first climb tomorrow and do a proper Froomey. And then hope he can hold his advantage in the ITT

The look in Bernal's eyes is like he's detached his brain from his body. In contrast with Almeida that always looks like he's just stood on a piece of lego

Tomorrow might be a day of fireworks though....

Bernal isn't looking great, but not sure if he's gonna mega crack and loose 3 minutes in 3km.

Yates doing a 2018 Froomey?

At least they responded I guess? ????‍♂️

Must be nice to have problem like "should I take my trail or XC bike"......???? I would guess that it depends on what the bikes are, but bear in mind that the "monster climb" is 400 or 500m of elevation gain, but there's still 1000m of climbing apart from that climb, so lightness is a good idea in my opinion. My vote would be for a dual sus XC bike if you have that as an option.
