HeadDown Posted July 15, 2018 Posted July 15, 2018 (where's the facepalm emoticon when you need it) The crank has been spun long before he comes into shot and the wheel is in the air and spinning the entire time he is in shot during the slow mo. Go check the crash video where you see him and Tony hitting the deck. Keep watching until the end and you can see him in left of picture putting back the chain.The crank goes from spinning backwards to spinning forwards with the back wheel off the ground. If he had spun the cranks to get the chain on why is the crank originally spinning backwards? And to my eyes the back wheel accelerates just before it touches the ground again. ( I apologise if I'm coming across dof to you but I'm telling it as I see it)

The team should ask for their money back.

Roubaix day, Anderson final, WC, MotoGP.....[emoji23][emoji23] Will catch the highlights of the tennis, but go Kevin and the WC is tonight..I haven't watched GP in years.. but go Rossi (he is still riding hey). Saw him race once in Welkom when he was still riding 250cc..man what a ride started almost stone last and won it.. Biaggi still threw some donuts right in front of us after his 500cc win that day...I was a Biaggi fan. Did you guys watch the mens doubles final last night, our Saffa almost had it.

Patchelicious Posted July 15, 2018 Posted July 15, 2018 10 watts is 10 watts... Probably no motor but that video is weird. It raises the question with me.Using a 10watt motor while the peloton is chilling seems like a bit off a big risk to take, for effectively zero reward. I 100% agree that motors pose a risk to the sport. But we need to make sure we don’t freak about photo of a frizbee because we want it to be a UFO, else we just detract from the real cuplrits and problems. Mountain stages, ITTs and I think long fast descents are where riders have spun out, is when we need to keep our eyes peeled.

Gen Posted July 15, 2018 Posted July 15, 2018 I fear for Porte today..they have a strong team for today but GVA has his own ambitions ..this is not ideal for Porte. Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk
Vetplant Posted July 15, 2018 Posted July 15, 2018 So if the trend is to continue, who is in the peloton who have won Roubaix before? SaganGvATerpstraHaydenDegenkolb Not entirely unlikely...

Sent from my SM-G950F using TapatalkI thought of it yesterday when he got another 1 sec bonus. Why dont they sent Porte to the front for that second. It could be the difference between 1st and 2nd in Paris.

( I apologise if I'm coming across dof to you but I'm telling it as I see it)Just go try it out on your bike. I have checked it on my bike a while ago. Hold rear wheel off ground, spin it up, throw crank backwards and come report back if it went from rotating backwards to forwards... Your freewheel isn't perfect, it will transfer that forward momentum through the chain to the crank, eventually making it go from backwards to forwards.
