Were they on Mobu's or Tigs ?

Wet course, so lots of crashes in the ladies race.

I will try and remember that 'in the heat of battle' 🤣

So, this happened this morning. But, I think that I made a mistake with the cassette. I have 11-30 on my road bike, and my wife has 11-34. I bought a 34 cassette, but now wonder if that will be an issue with my chain and b-screw settings... In hindsight, I should have gone with the 11-30, but they only had Ultegra. it didn't make sense to get that for the indoor. (Scrounging around online, I cant find a 105 level 12spd 11-30).

I think that Thule actually bought the brand/product.

If Covid was a worry - this would worry me... (as fun and harmless as it seems)

Interesting and random: https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20240716-the-mysterious-mathematical-law-behind-tour-de-france-winners

The Main Cheese is in the break again today. Some big guns, so it will be interesting to see how it plays out.

News coming through that Geraint Thomas had also tested positive for COVID-19 but is racing on today

Yep. They did mine

Is MotoMan still in operation ?

I was going to suggest that he goes back to ski jumping, but he crashed out of that sport. He needs to find a sport that doesn't involve hitting the ground at such regular intervals...

The Tour is very different to the Giro. He ran amok with impunity there. I'm sure that the team talks on the bus and in the car are pretty interesting.

That is the 'curse' of the Super Teams with massive budgets. Jumbo Visma, Ineos/Sky and various others before them. The Super Teams eventually implode or the power balance shifts. Also, those super domestiques sometimes get frustrated if they don't get their chance to shine and they shift to GC leader on another team. For better or for worse...

Bad luck for Candice though (broke her rear mech)

Is this considered whining ? https://www.cyclingnews.com/news/a-bad-habit-wout-van-aert-reacts-angrily-to-jasper-philipsens-tour-de-france-sprint-deviation/

Philipsen was relegated today after that warning. He closed the door on Wout, but it seemed pretty mild (in my opinion)

Nice show from Ryan Gibbons Was Jasper a Disaster again ? https://www.instagram.com/p/C8-AgrWsEu7/

This vid says broken, but it wasn't

Very nice ! But also appears on Santa Cruz, Specialized and Trek (among others)
