Gummi I am also loving the pics of this tour!! Awesome photos of the mtn boys?

 

Can you share some background as to your being at the event. Super jealous!

 

Keep taking such great shots!!

 

Apart from Gummi being the protector of the Illuminati, he also lives in Luxembroek..

Nice pics Gummi, hope your having fun taking them.

 

I know at some of the tours / events i've been to i end up looking more through the camera view finder than at the actual event or racing.

Love being able to walk around the team trucks and watching the the team guys work / warm up etc...

Best part so far has been chatting to the Shimano Technical staff.These guys are a wealth of knowledge.11 speed Ultegra for me next

What is their opinion on the ultegra 11 speed compared to the dura ace 11 speed?

A bit more expensive... no wait... a lot more expensive

 

Hopefully Gummi has a better answer, or hopefully not then we can all get Ultegra instead of having to take out a new bond

One of the teams here is riding the new mech Ultegra and are only raving about it.Seems like weight wise the Ultegra will be more or less the same as the old DA7800 weight.About 85 grams heavier.

The riders say that the shifting on the Ultegra is as smooth as the old DA 7800.

Shimano guys recon big advantage is that ultegra will last longer but it's their product and will say anything to sell.

I prefer these smaller tours as the riders and the teams are pretty relaxed and easy to approach.

Jungels wins the stage but given 10 second penalty for slinging (like on track) and misses outy on second place overall.

Blanco made the charges when Hondo showed Bob to pass.They say Hondo pushed him but Bob says no he only showed him to pass through.

Is the result final or are they disputing it?
