Watse bol is dit hierdie van geheimsinige vergaderings? As hulle die fietsryers verteenwoordig het ons dan mos die reg om te weet wat aangaan? Ek dink dit is tyd dat hierdie vergaderings oopgestel word, sodat enige iemand wat wil kan insit en luister wat werklik aangaan!

Says a damn lot about Cervelo to be able to finish the race with a bike looking like that! Bring the cobbles, again!

Please don't. Keep this thread going, you are educating us idiots. Well me at least.

If you use the heavy bike in some races and stay with the bunch you will definitetly improve, and when you make the switch to the lighter bike you will feel the difference.

Power to weight. You will still use the same watt to kg ratio. The only diference is it will take you longer to do your normal ride on the heavy bike.

BikeMax, What sort of volumes are you talking about?

And afetr the race they shoot the camel and make biltong cause the meat is half dry already!

Push me once' date=' and I tell you to stop it politely. Push me twice, and I push you back and really tell you to stop it. Push me three times, and I beat the unliving crap out of you. Polite like that? [/quote'] Exactly like that! But only if you are smaller than me?

They said it will be open till 22:00.

Gutter riding does not mean you should be on the wrong side of the white line. Gutter riding means the rider that throws the gutter ride as close to the edge of the road (read white line) as is posible to allow his team slip stream on the correct side of the line. The problem : Weaker riders can't/don't create their own slip/gutter/pace line and cross over the white line, putting themselves in danger. The solution : commisaires should disqualify any and every body that cross over the line.

Where can I get Nike sponsorship? Just kidding!

Nope! I don't think I could manage the distance.

In the land of the blind . . . .

The thin white line? The one we should not cross? 300m before the finish, I think each pro team should have their train running for their sprinter? Hope the injuries heal fast!

I'm expecting to see a lot of 4 rider teams Skerp!

Are you guys pro SRAM or anti Shimano?

No mater how they change the route, I am still not entering!

And they say 13%. Either their fat percentage machine is broken, or they are lying through their teeth, just like the dopers!

7 Finish Finishing line The finishing line shall comprise a line of 4 cm in width, painted in black on a white strip 72 cm wide thus leaving 34 cm of white on each side of the black line. For Mountain Bike it must be 20 cm, thus leaving 8 cm on each side of the black line. (text modified on 1.01.04). A rider shall have finished at the moment when the tubular/tyre of the front wheel touches the vertical plane rising from the starting edge of the finishing line. Nevertheless, the photo-finish shall always be decisive. In road time trial races, in track races and in mountain bike races the finish may also be determined by the contact of the tubular /tyre of the front wheel with an electronic timing strip on the finish line. For mountain bike events, the finish may also be determined by other electronic means such as photo-electric cells. (text modified on 1.01.00; 1.01.04). Except for track races, a streamer bearing the word ?FINISH? shall be suspended over the finishing line, stretching across the road or the circuit. Should the streamer have disappeared or been damaged, the finishing line shall be indicated by a black and white chequered flag. Such a flag shall also be used for any finish or for the passing of any intermediate point for a classification as well as at the top of mountain passes during road races. (N) Photo-finish with an electronic timing tape shall be mandatory.
