    Apparently the weather was hot , and the Yam works better in the heat . Generally MM93 doesn't do a time attack at the end of the test session . The Ducati / Marques fight this weekend could be a hum dinger ...
  7. Momentum .... Goalposts get moved less than Discovery/Vitality . I get 680 back into my Healthsaver account and 40% discount on Myriad premiums . I am Platinum and will get to Private for next year .
  8. Awesome news .... another Saffa at world tour level . Dreams do happen !!!!

    Was he pushed or did he jump ???? Brad is sponsored by KTM , I think they tell him where he is most needed . I am betwixed and between here ... Glad he has the ride and know he will make the most of it ....HOWEVER , Riding an uncompetitive bike in MotoGP can be a limiting option . Look at Thom Luthi , and Tito Rabat ....Luthi back in Moto2 and Tito on his way . Zarco not exactly performing like he did on the Yam , and Hafis Syrihn back to Moto2 . Brad is certainly WAY better that HS , but Zarco was 2 x Moto2 WC and Rabat 1x . I wish Brad all the very best and would love to see him make a huge success of this , but am sceptical due to the machinery , and he only has a 1 year deal .

    Ha Ha , Was thinking the same .... maybe he went to Japan to learn how to dive bomb and t-bone properly ....
  13. Fully agree with you DSW , but how many times have we seen riders in the break that are not big names or GC contenders , and the main bunch get their sums wrong and never catch the break .... Tommy Voeckler is a prime example ... Maybe there is an unpolished diamond hiding somewhere in the depths of the TDD despair.....
  14. My opinion is that Cav is done as a TDF sprint stage winner . He looks nervous in the bunch compared with the likes of Vivianni and Gaviria et al . What about TDD sending a team of young , hungry guys who may just throw cation to the wind and get an unexpected result or two . If their DS allows . I would however certainly throw Eddie Boss into the mix as he seems to really be able to self motivate , which might rub off on a few younger guys , don't think it will have any affect on Cav . There might even be a small rivalry between them 2 ....

    Think you comparing apples with lemons here !! I never said I didn't think he could still win , but it is highly unlikely , and he has 0% chance of winning this championship this year .

    Make no mistake I love Rossi and all he has achieved , and done to make MotoGP mainstream . However , he hasn't won in a very long time , and his last championship was 2009 . Many top athletes retire at the top of their game (CS27) and many carry on for maybe 1 or 2 years too many ..... Rossi is edging towards the latter ..... Colin Edwards said 0.1 of a second per year slower from about age 33 onwards . I am certainly not comparing Rossi/Edwards , just mentioning that maybe Father Time IS starting to have an adverse effect on VR46 !!

    Man of the Match for me was Rins . He went from 13th to 4th on a bike that got SMOKED every lap down the long straight . It was a great race ..... fast flowing tracks generally make for better , closer racing . VR46 , time to think about a retirement package and let us remember you for all the right reasons
  18. Much better showing at the Giro . Great for EBH .... Is he the only DD rider that has won at WT level this year ??
  19. Very disappointing to see this . Doesn't look like they even in the race anymore . Would expect more from a WT team ... especially one struggling so much to get results and exposure . Possibly there is other S..t (politics ) going on behind the scenes ....
  20. Mr G , you might find that we are less than 1% of their online orders , so they not really too concerned ......( I have no stats , just guessing ) .
  21. I think TR is a better programme , but Zwift more fun .
  22. Please explain what powerups are . Thanks
  23. Help please . I am new(ish ) to Zwift . I am currently on about 330000 points but only level 7 . How many points do I need to get to the next level ?? What are the criteria to move up a level ?? Only riding time/ distance or does speed and the amount of climbing influence the points ?? I want to do Alp Du Zwift but don't seem to be getting anywhere close . Level 12 needed I think . I am currently using my laptop with an ANT dongle on a Kickr4 . Can I use an Ipad , and obviously then no dongle ??
  24. I think it was an awesome event . As a team we decided to finish with all 12 together . We were a mixed team . We did this and our time was 5h35 . Those 2 climbs in Golden Gate were brutal but very rewarding once over the top .
