Bonus Posted June 20, 2014 Posted June 20, 2014 Sagans downhill was mental. Back wheel clear off the ground after he hit that speed hump!
jcza Posted June 21, 2014 Posted June 21, 2014 Henao has fractured his kneecap, surely that rues him out of TdF.
tombeej Posted June 21, 2014 Posted June 21, 2014 Nothing wrong with a firm hand on the hip of the rider next to you to let him know you're there and coming through in the train. It's seen as a perfectly fine form of communication in the bunch. Effective use of the lean with elbows also very acceptable. This is how it is in the lead outs and the sprints. Much rather be touching bodies than touching bikes. Takes a special kind of guy to really love being in the mix like that though. jcza 1

Isn't there a rule about taking your hands off the handlebar in the last couple of kays?

tombeej Posted June 21, 2014 Posted June 21, 2014 Isn't there a rule about taking your hands off the handlebar in the last couple of kays? If someone has a link to a UCI rule about that, I'd be interested to read it. I think it is a rule in track cycling, but I stand to be corrected. But it's such a regularly done thing in the peloton that I can't see how it's a penalisable offence. What about when people sit up and put their hands in the air for the victory salute - would that apply too? One of my favourite sites has this short article as reference: If you're not moving forwards, you're moving backwards.
tombeej Posted June 22, 2014 Posted June 22, 2014 Congrats to young Costa, winner again in Switzerland. Great ride, and looking to be in good peaking form for Lampre at TDF. But one rider who's just made a lot of World Tour team owners sit up and take notice has to be Marcel Wyss from IAM Cycling. Super strong ride today - I was seriously impressed.

Jaco-fiets Posted June 23, 2014 Posted June 23, 2014 Happy for the World ChampAn important win for him - a 1st in the rainbow jersey since that fateful stormy day in Italy. Looks like I am eating humble pie! Well done Costa!!
'Dale Posted June 23, 2014 Posted June 23, 2014 Looks like I am eating humble pie! Well done Costa!! Nice, Jaco' It's his 3rd consecutive win, unprecedented.
