Rookie101 Posted April 7, 2008 Posted April 7, 2008 After I watched the race I noticed some riders change their bikes during the race.The did not fall and did not have flats. Can anyone shed some light for me?It were the elite bunch.
Rookie101 Posted April 7, 2008 Author Posted April 7, 2008 Nou is ek deurmekaar, het dan Vrydag die race getape.... kon dit dalk laasjaar sin gewees het? In any case, hoekom ruil hulle die fietse??
AndreZA Posted April 7, 2008 Posted April 7, 2008 Sometime the bikes get mechanical problems due to the bad route. Sometimes they start therace with a specially build bike and by halfway they realise they would rather ride their tried and tested bike and swop it out.
scotty Posted April 7, 2008 Posted April 7, 2008 Could have been the Tour of Flanders you were watching.
bob_the_builder Posted April 7, 2008 Posted April 7, 2008 Won on a Specialized And most importantly, not won by cancelalarara or horse teeth ballan...
scotty Posted April 7, 2008 Posted April 7, 2008 His team mate Boonen was not a happy chappy as well, even joined in the chasing pack.
bob_the_builder Posted April 7, 2008 Posted April 7, 2008 Ya, I dunno about Boooooneenene, it seems like if the race is not in the desert, the drugs don't work...
Evan Andreou Posted April 7, 2008 Posted April 7, 2008 His team mate Boonen was not a happy chappy as well' date=' even joined in the chasing pack. [/quote'] Outside of Quatar, Boonen has had an indifferent start to the year, chasing down your own team mate is low
bob_the_builder Posted April 7, 2008 Posted April 7, 2008 down your own team mate is low No it's not, ask Fat Jan and Kloden
Flemish Lion Posted April 7, 2008 Posted April 7, 2008 What are you all on about - Boonen chased down about 60 breaks of guys chasing Devolder. Tom is a team player and is stoked that his mate Devolder won! Tom will show you all on Sunday how good he is. Quikstep has a super strong team with Steegmans and Devolder next to Tom. Tom also got back together with his old lady friend Lore for all you gossip lovers out there...
bob_the_builder Posted April 7, 2008 Posted April 7, 2008 Lioness, I don't give a rat's arse who tornado tom chases or not, I just don't think he has the stuff he had a few years ago in the classics... maybe he can re-focus on the green at the tour or something, but winning a stage or two there is a lot easier than winning in his homeland...bob_the_builder2008-04-07 03:12:39
Flemish Lion Posted April 7, 2008 Posted April 7, 2008 Dude ... how can you dish a talented rider so quickly ... just shows how little you know about cycling ... it's a team sport! Just watch the race on Sunday and we'll chat again!!Flemish Lion2008-04-07 03:16:35
