Kaden Groves is #1

Yes you have a new bike for every race and stage in a Tour. If there parts that are a small % questionable they replaced - this is just the level it is. Same as a MotoGP bike for example- new bike per race.

Ps: He has a new TT bike for every race....🤩

With he connections big George has and the invites they have already gotten I their 1st year, I can see them in a GT next year being Giro or Vuelta. If you were asking on my personal calendar it is Belgium currently aero testing Tour Romandie from Sunday TDF Recon directly after Munich direct from recon for something home 4 days - camp then home 5 days back to camp 10 days home into a 2 day Conference Direct into the Tour de France So its not all that galmourous I can go on about this but really wont and become a semi rant but SA Media does not know we exist or maybe they chose not to know I have no clue personally and I think only they know. It is what it is I guess, but they always claiming SA needs to be put out there but there is radio silence. Like zero. I turn down alot of media requests cause I prefer to be on the background and not infront of a camera always - its just my personality and also the Team filters stuff etc which is normal but the amount of European or world wide requests I get in monthly has outweighed anything South Africa has requested in about 13 years. There is limited (3-5) amount of South Africans doing incredible work at the utmost highest level of the sport (higher level than riders) which one would think SA would like to draw attention to for their own sake but instead they seem to worry about some other bull****. SA cycling is its own worst enemy it seems

Not a World Tour ranked race

Rider in 37th thinks he is 5th or 9th or wherever he chooses to be time wise.

at that level coming off winter is not an excuse. Same as WT guys racing TDU or UAE in jan/Feb. No difference, you prepare for the job required. Matt came out of SA summer to dead winter coming to race Santa Vall in Feb in Girona. Seemed to do pretty well under the condition changes.

He has 4 wins, 2022 was won Baum and Egger Matts wins are: 2021/23/24/26

Thank the heavens that is over

Stop typing

Her commentating as a whole leaves much to be desired.

Times have changed somewhat in women's cycling, yes some are earning nothing on a smaller team but then so are some men. Ladies on WT are earning a good wage, some close to a Million euros a year and a good domestique is on around 150-250 thousand euro a year.

If the route is shorter, are the women real mountain bikers then and are they only allowed half a tattoo on their calves? I have alot of these questions in my head now.

Sauna im not a supporter of, or I dont prescribe sauna, I do on bike indoors personally and seen much better results.

if you dont learn year on year then you cant expect a different result. Im sure he did heat acclimation at home.
