wearing white assos bibs could attract these kinds of comments from other men!

izzy zimmerman? ja - that brakeset was really cool - still wanted to ask him if it was Zero Gravity brakes - think those things cost the same as my bike!

na - was wearing colnago kit

this is very true! i still think that aspects such as cornering & applying the correct power / accelerations (even taking a drink) at the right time in a TT can play a significant role in the outcome and not just your ability to produce raw power. speaking of TT - there was a guy on the ride today with a CERVELO TT bike - think it was the P3 - very nice - he even had the skinsuit on!

yes & no - he was clever enough not to push himself too hard before the two TT's & also used his team very well. i think that TT also has an amount of skill involved and again there it is not necessarily the strongest ride that will win. as for stage 17 i think it was more of a tactical error on the side of the other riders by letting him go & then not starting the chase soon enough.

i am sure not many guys around with 4.1! probably many guys in the tour with more than 5.88w/kg but it is hardly ever the strongest rider that wins.

so how close are you to the magic 6.7 watts/kg of ferrari? i see a cowboy team TT coming for the H2H!

if threshold power is similar to VO2Max 2x20mins @ 95% must be hell! are you planning to break away in the first minute of the H2H and then just finish the rest of the course on your own?

if i was you i would do some active resting before sunday - it looks as if 101% has a mean streak in him & i am sure that the cowboys will have some proper initiation planned for you!

2 x 20s - i assume this is 2 x hill climbs for 20 minutes - go up golf club terrace 4 times & i am sure it will have the same affect! sounds good pantani. what is the pace like on monday? do you guys not take a day off? i will work on my cornering skills this week-end as to not endanger anyone!

so you are in next week? it might be a good idea to warm up until you hit northcliff! if you really want to go like hell, why not do your ride on tuesday or thursday - pack moves way faster then than on wednesday. go the new bike set up yet?

must have looked rather funny from the side! think i was very lucky - will just do a good bike inspection tonight. more of the same next week?

did they all laugh at you? how do you crash into a waist high construction beacon - you can see these things for miles!

the pace was far better today - we ave 30km/h & this includes a 10 minute stop. lost my nerve around a corner & hit the brakes! as predicted the bike started going straight & i had to bunnyhop about 3 traffic islands to eventually come to a standstill in some loose sand! very nearly came down VERY hard!!!! TG that there was no cars coming from the front. was too lazy to remove my racing1 wheels last night, so now i sit with a bent rim. rest of the bike seems ok - will just remove the stem & check out the fork before i do a hincapie. pantani - many thanks for waiting & turning back to check if i am OK.

nice - ja - selle vraag as dirt-rider - hoe kry jy die quick release ding vas aan die bak? haal jy die cover af, boor & skroef en sit dan weer alles terug?
