At least they weren't matte black... Can you imagine the Mayhem if the bikes were invisible?

Well that explains JA then. Flipping dirt roadie

And Fontana and well probably a lot of other very experienced riders... again I will say I haven't seen that many flats for a very very long time.

 

 

Any how. Full focus on the Vuelta now..[emoji106]

 

 

Sigh I already miss Sagan.[emoji6]

So they really don't put any slime in their tyres? That doesn't make sense to me. Sure it ads a little extra weight, but surely it's worth it? It'll be much quicker to bomb a half flat tyre quickly than having to ride on your rim or run a full lap to the tech zone

wwhhhoooaaaa, just hold on their cowboy .... are you suggesting these riders add the further unnecessary weight to their bikes or person by no having to carry bombs WITH regulators in order to inflate their tyres if required in order to save mammoth amounts of time during the race. NEVER! SACRILEGE! CAN'T HAPPEN!

I am sure they have sealant in their tyres, its part of the system, but bombs .. kinda makes common sense as the hairy one alludes to ...  but  XCO athletes are serous weight weenies / snobs, they even dump their valve caps.

I just want to see that leg pic of Sagan when he was getting his first wheel change[emoji57]

Thor's Thighs of Thunder and Legs of Lightning would make you weep if I shaved them. But sadly my weed-whacker is broken so go with Peter's. Be happy. Sigh.

It's not really a whip. He turns his head and the front wheel, but the rear wheel never moves too far out.

 

It's a faux whip.
