Frosty Posted September 7, 2020 Posted September 7, 2020 I’m sure Jumbo-Visma would allow WvA some freedom, but not at the expense of losing the yellow jersey. In Wiggins’ biography, he mentions the incident where Froome wanted to ride away from Wiggins and win the stage, but was told to stop. So much so that Wiggins wanted to keep back Froome’s share of the winnings: Froome: But I can win the stage.DS/Wiggins: We’re here to win yellow, not a stage. Note:I loaned my copy of the book out, so I can’t quote what was quoted.
Mntboy Posted September 7, 2020 Posted September 7, 2020 Now I am keen to know what you do. When I used to work shifts, half my rides were lunch rides, just A LOT shorter and sedate than these guys. I used to get home from work, go to sleep, wake up around lunch time, go ride and then go back to work. It actually sucked tbh.I work as a seafarer and more specifically as an Able Seaman. I work on Offshore Supply vessels. I don't always get to ride when I am on contract but if I do it's usually in the onboard gym or the bridge and this only if the ship has a stationary bike. Otherwise when I am home I can ride when I want and so lunch time rides do occur especially if I had a slow start to my day.

Shebeen Posted September 7, 2020 Posted September 7, 2020 Can't even think of a team who secured both Yellow and Green in recent times? der kaizer and Zabel come to mind.
Mntboy Posted September 7, 2020 Posted September 7, 2020 Wow! (your profile pic makes more sense now...)One of the better photos I've taken out at sea.

Mntboy Posted September 7, 2020 Posted September 7, 2020 It must be really hard to buy second hand goods on bikehubWeirdly enough I have never purchased anything off of the hub. Did try and flog one of my previous bikes here before selling it to a friend. However I can see how it could be a problem! [emoji1787][emoji1787][emoji1787][emoji1787]

eddy Posted September 7, 2020 Posted September 7, 2020 These bikes are already at the weight limit, so these kinds of changes must be for other reasons than just weight savings. Where you have the weight should not have a massive effect on how fast you can climb, GCN explained it in a recent video. More rotating mass means more gyroscopic effect keeping things stable, but makes it a bit more difficult to make the bike turn in. MotoGP bikes experience this to a much larger extent, but these guys must surely also look at those types of things to gain advantages in the descents. Mmmmm. I saw that clip and interpreted it a bit of pseudo-science sprouted by a manufacturer of nice but slightly heavyish wheels......
