RABUBI Posted April 1, 2009 Posted April 1, 2009 why are they dressed in women's clothing? . Drag racing
Pro-Funrider Posted April 1, 2009 Posted April 1, 2009 If these dudes ride a race they can ride away from a bunch like in no time. RESPECT!
slowtwitch Posted April 1, 2009 Author Posted April 1, 2009 Well if you can appreciate the saddle to handlebar drop on Bjorn's bike, you understand the drag/woman thing...you have to cut those parts out that used to squash on the saddle nose for 4-5hrs!!! and others do it in a speedo - thats why they talk like woman
RABUBI Posted April 1, 2009 Posted April 1, 2009 If these dudes ride a race they can ride away from a bunch like in no time. RESPECT! Nope, wrong on that one. They are used to Steady tempo for a long period, so a completely different situation to bunch racing. Raynard Tissink raced vets a few years ago, did not manage to do it though, but he did win TT, think he beat Craig Harvey by only a few seconds. Again not taking anything away from them, these guys are super strong, its just completely different to bunch racing.
slowtwitch Posted April 1, 2009 Author Posted April 1, 2009 Sorry Rabubi, you did not race Raynard the last couple of months in Vets did you?Come and race with us and you'll see for yourself. Last weekend after 8k's there were only 6 of us left in the front bunch And he does not wear those green and gold stripes on his cycle jersey for nothing

slowtwitch Posted April 1, 2009 Author Posted April 1, 2009 Well 180k's - wind or no wind 40-42k's per hour - 4hr20min to 4hr35min. enen 4h17min I've seen Give RT hills and he'll let you look like a couch potato's first time on the bike Some of the pro's ride Euro stage races in the off season. So trust me, they're quite capable of handling themselfs in road races
Thug Posted April 1, 2009 Posted April 1, 2009 ok but here's a IM chick for u I know it looks like a lady but something seems to be missing
