Nothing strange about not being told if you weren't going. Nothing is a guarantee in a Tour team selection.

Its the Tour. Nothing in any team is a definite for any rider.

Recon done 2 weeks ago

Im all for a good podium fight, its bike racing which we all want and love. However, I may be biased alittle towards the winner.....

Why are you worried or worried about?

Jonas could of win Dauphine outright if he was allowed to. He was stronger than everyone this week. Today showed it.

Stages this year have been different, like the sprint stages aren't really the traditional type of sprint stage. Once the results and pure sprinters not getting there when it counts in total form. However, at the Tour, I believe he will win a stage when it comes time.

Road and TT bikes have been well received by the riders so this is always good. thank you for asking

the break was never going to win today, Jumbo wanted it to come to a sprint as Wout wanted to test against Groenewagen ahead of the tour. However he never made it over the climb and Ineos got stuck in for Hayter and Jumbo followed. Its Dauphine; to win a stage here is huge, this is why they played a cat n mouse game, it was always going to happen so you dont outplay your chance.

Heal up and new helmet day is always awesome.

My favourite short loop when I’m home. Nothing beats it.

Matt has 3 broken ribs and was sent the wrong way due to bad markings. Lost just under 3min. But that is racing. Taking nothing away from Phil he was the deserved winner. he was so good on the day

He is ok

Correct and he is a great guy and coach. I like the way he works and what he brings to the table.

Why is Mconnell suspicious? Cannondale had a 20yr old on the elite podium.

Matt is into bike racing, if there was a tricycle big enough I believe he would be into racing that also.

He is not chasing any points.

Good ride, he said it was really gnarly and had a jol. Small issue of his chain coming off the front ring 4 times and having to chase back burn some matches. He is keen for the next ones ahead.

Even more removed if I didn't know they available any more 🤪 On the flexibility someone said to me a certain crank set they found had to much flex, literally at breakfast earlier that day I told someone I thought they were the stiffest thing I have ever ridden and loved it.....

But to have you bike cost more than yours car is the correct way to do it no? Why spend money on something you use to essentially go to work in or drive to a riding spot? I would rather spend more on my toys than a car. Bikes and toys being fun, expensive cars are pointless when you pay so much that you cant afford toys or do dodgey **** so you can afford them.

I have to admit I am so far removed from some cycling things hearing this is a 20k fork. Jirree.

Thanks, appreciate that. I also didn't know they were 80mm. Alittle aggressive for a XC course and maybe even Epic unless you a small and light person. But do agree on the gravel type vibe.

I have never ridden the RS1 but what was it like compared to a Fox or so? I always thought it looked great and hence should work great. But didn't seem to stick around long
