  1. What a bizarre email! I may not log in regularly, but I use my devices and upload activities almost daily, how can my account be deemed inactive?
  2. https://support.garmin.com/en-ZA/?faq=FOkQKroQB20WJlfOrMhER9&utm_campaign=purge_firstPurgeWarning
  3. First 100+ ride for some time. Good times out there in the bundus.
  4. Ride Eat The Flemish The Flemish Classics Classics?
  5. Thanks for the clarification. We'll leave it there. It's sad to hear that that is their reality.
  6. Man I'm no English major/lawyer, but "can", "deemed", "perceptions". It's like saying that a lighter bike might make you faster up Chappies. Still sucks. I hate to sugest it, but is she a relation to a specific JWakefield?
  7. I'm doing up some reading on this IPTV. Looks interesting, however it looks highly illegal. Tread carefully.
  8. What did they do for R200? Zero missing perhaps?
  9. I struggle to believe he stays at this weight the entire season. It must look a bit unsettling.
  10. I'm not in the world of advertising and marketing, but 8 days of exposure versus 2? The audience size yeah is a big factor, but I don't know the viewership numbers for these events. He isn't doing much MTB-ing for someone who wants to go for gold at Paris tbf. But then again, this is MVDP.
  11. With his current form, I think he would crush it. Beers would have to tread very carefully and pick a partner as strong as he is.
  12. https://www.procyclingstats.com/team/alpecin-deceuninck-2023 They are WT. Incidentaly, he set the record last year too, so somehow he has beaten himself. But, I did hear commentary mention something about a tailwind. But look at this for a stat - as it stands, MVDP has won 4 times in his RR jersey. Back in '76, a Belgian named Freddy Maertens won 44 races! But, his palmares his rather shiny, too. https://www.procyclingstats.com/statistics/riders/wins-by-world-champions
  13. He confirmed this during the Xmas CX season. Means less risk. But then you have to have the legs to back it up, which in his case is undeniable.
  14. Only if the route has cobbles.
  15. Ugly but gets the job done perhaps?
  16. Personally, I either watch GCN workout videos, or old bike races, especially ones where MVDP or Sagan takes the win.
  17. Spare a thought for those who do 160s, and the odd Audax. Some guys on the higher levels have clocked MEGA miles, it's astounding to see.
  18. You spelled entertaining wrong. It should be DIFFICULT 😁
  19. It all depends on where you ride more regularly. IMHO, on the road/light gravel road, there is nothing quicker than a gravel bike due to the better aero. I've managed to hold on to a road bunch at 60kph before spinning out (50/11). However, once it becomes remotely rocky, you've better off with a hard tail. But once again, it's not about the bike but the rider. I've had HT riders cream me on an open gravel road.
  20. I think hot water and some elbow grease, just don't use an abrasive pad.
