I'm sorry it's upset you. It's just something that came into my mind after reading about it a little while ago. As I said, I'm not accusing or suggesting anything. She's a respected athlete and I cannot imagine for a nanosecond she'd do something like that to gain an advantage.

Go mom, go!

One would think that if the UCI has put their own HC categorisation on this race, they'd have done some sort of homework. According to the Epic website, there are only 4 other races worldwide that are classified as such. 3 of those are the famous grand tours, and some random race in Cyprus no one has ever heard of.

What is your role in the organization of the event?

No granny gear on earth is going to save you if you haven't put in the training. That's what I suspect the issue is. Either that, or the other extreme, overtraining.

Will give it a listen over the long weekend.

TANGENT: Is this the one that made it to air as "School Ties"?

Source?

Oops..

I have a FR955 that I use simultaneously with the 530, and the 530 always reads less elevation gain.

Magene. Local stock, much cheaper than Garmin, just as capable.

There's an Italian channel on DSTV?! 🤌

I wonder whether KS is going to pull the plug, and MB solos to the finish.

I'm sorry, why? What a load of bollocks!!

Solution - prefix your account ID with a zero.

Good morning, all Hubbers! Anyone else trying to "claim their prize" after completion of this challenge? I don't know what my strava ID is, it's not accepting the "numbers" on your profile URL.

Maybe King of US gravel. I don't see rainbow stripes on him LOL.

I've been told he only arrived in the country 3 days ago. I don't think that's ideal prep. Let's hope they can re-strategize, re-group and attack from tomorrow onwards.

MB and KS came in 6th at 2m17 back, 5th on GC now, 9m17 back.

I just watched his interview. Claims Swenson is suffering.

Anyone know what's going on with 1-1, 1-2 (Beers, Swenson)?

NO., there's nothing more you can do otehr than contact your insurance and follow their requests. depends what you interpret as fairly. Only if you can prove that you did all you reasonably could to keep the bike safe, they should pay out what you've insured the bike for. No other local cycling forums, to my knowledge.

I think for added safely, glue a patch (remember those?!) on the inside of the tyre at the area of concern.
