Eddy Gordo Posted June 25, 2023 Share 40 minutes ago, Jewbacca said: The thing is, rim brakes failed/had issues too. These guys push their bikes to the limits and hundreds of them are/have descended thousands and thousands of big mountain passes successfully. Sometimes unsuccessfully. Speeds are getting faster, times are getting quicker and pretty much the whole pro peleton is riding disc brakes successfully. I'll go back to it over and over, if they sucked, people who only care about winning wouldn't use them Agreed. When I ride road and there is rain, I choose my HT over the rim brake roadie. Wet weather braking with disc brakes is extremely good. However I cant say I have issues with rim blocks. If you have the right type, compound, etc then they are very good.

Baron Posted June 25, 2023 Share Live stream at https://tiz-cycling-live.io/manual.php or you can check the stage later in the evening at https://tiz-cycling.io/main/. just scroll down to the day stage. Some time there is an option you can choose to watch only the last 10km or the whole race. Jva, tinmug and Headshot 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After winning Giro, don't think PR would be in position to go for GC here, so superdom from the start? I'd be more concerned about how Kuss has recovered. Wilco and Laporte is the mountain squad? got oomen, special K, gesink and dennis doing other stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Seppie will be just fine, he didn't "kill" himself for Primoz in the Giro at any stage. Not sure in whos place PR can go but I dont think there is anyone else in the squad that can tag team Pogacar like Primoz and Jonas did last year .... 🤷♂️.

We have just started watching the Netflix TDF soapie and its great. tinmug 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frosty Posted June 26, 2023 Share As things stand, the startlist quality in 2023 is 1547, compared to 1551 from 2022. Still the highest quality startlist of the year. edgarblount and TheoG 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
