Headshot Posted July 9 Share This kind of boring route should be banned - better to have a rest day 🙂 . Do these guys trash talk each other in the peleton to keep themselves awake? betaboy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Headshot Posted July 9 Share Jasper really is a pr#ck. Just seen a replay of him forcing Girmay into the barriers in an intermediate sprint, I think. FFS. Zebra, LukeLan, betaboy and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blaming Jasper is fun, but the boarding wasn't straight. Bini was looking for space where there wasn't any OVERDRIVE 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I do know is strava is not always accurate…. 💥 well, JB knows what it takes to win the TdF, doesn't he? 🤪 Mountain Bru, NickGM, Danger Dassie and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselnDust Posted July 9 Share 27 minutes ago, lechatnoir said: well, JB knows what it takes to win the TdF, doesn't he? 🤪 Well he does. The Strava data is captured from a bike computer. That is only an approximation based on a few known variables like weight, Vo2 max, duration heart rate or power. I would assume the riders and teams want good data so they will input as accurate as possible information into the bike computer. What gets “hawk tauhed” into Strava is what the bike computer calculates. it’s nice to see that level of transparency but of course it’s not absolutely accurate since there’s no way to accurately measure blood glycogen depletion in real time on the bike. The approximation would have a similar error for most riders at a similar fitness level, especially when that data is trended over time. what JB suggested was that Pogi was riding more conservatively when he wasn’t attacking. Surfing wheels and drafting better plus just being in really good shape. i doubt JB would get caught out by amateur mistake like relying on strava app measured data🤣 PS : on a different note, the move has Wiggo on for the next two weeks as well Mook 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really didn't look intentional (like it did last time) I think Bini would have waved his hands at least once if he thought he'd been hard done by...
