At least the fees are included in the R50mil price tag. What's amazing though is that Nkandla costs 5 times more than this.

DieselnDust Posted July 9, 2021 Share 1 hour ago, Mountain Bru said: What's very strange is that he wasn't thaaaat terrible at the Dauphine last year, and even did some decent turns in the mountains. He would at least stay in the front group until TJV lit things up in the front. And now his main GC rivals are Cav and Griepel? ????♂️ To be clear though I think Froome is clean (as in not doing anything illegal), and I'm not implying anything about him or his past performances. I think he's just too old to fully recover back to his old form. He wasn't going too badly in the Dauphine this year, a noticable improvement over last years effort but he did take a huge knock on Stage 1 (TdF '21) where he crossed the line visibly shaking from shock due to the impacts he took. Hence the race is now with the Broom Wagon. That was his tour done and dusted right there. So now its a 3 week GT training block and maybe we see him at the Vuelta.

Good grief just look at it I was considering to buy a studio apartment in Montpellier last year. It is a student town. A studio apartment is like a fancy bachelors flat. Price was Euro 85k. Which was pretty reasonable if you wanted a lock up & go. DieselnDust and Chris_ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselnDust Posted July 9, 2021 Share since this chat is slowing down along with the peloton. Lets post more interesting discussion than the commentators are offering. I mean slush puppies...really !! Here's an article Ross Tucker published in 2013. It postulates more or less when we can expect to see undoped performance match or surpass doped performances. It appears we are now within that time frame https://sportsscientists.com/2013/07/clean-performances-to-surpass-doped-performances/ Danger Dassie and Mntboy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mntboy Posted July 9, 2021 Share The GCN commentators just had a period discussing Marianne Vos especially since she won her 30th stage victory at the Giro D'Italia Donne yesterday. And essentially they agreed as to her GOAT status within cycling at large not just within the ladies peloton. Her palmares certainly stacks up well against any legendary cyclist, male or female.

Frosty Posted July 9, 2021 Share 1 hour ago, TNT1 said: I would disagree. Post all the hour record distances over the 40 years and you'll see the incremental improvements. In one lump it looks like a massive jump, in reality, it isn't. In the latest science of sport podcast, Prof Tucker incidentally goes into this exact subject a bit. Very informative. That dude knows his stuff. The other interesting one is the runners breaking the world record in a few days. The Shoes and lack of regular testing. #enjoyable pod TNT1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mountain Bru Posted July 9, 2021 Share Seems the pelo is starting to wake up.... Sean Bennet from Quebecka seems intent on slowing down the 3 man break by attacking it every 10 seconds..... with 65km to go. Now the ISN guy is attacking? Is there free Pizza for the first guy into the next town? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
