My 800 has stopped communicating with the computer. It charges but doesn't show in the finder. Have tried different leads and computer so definitely the device. Have done a hard reset and a boot block, but no joy. Any other ideas before I pay Garmin £75 for a replacement?

I doubt Tinkov's riders actually want the jersey this early, but controlling the race for 3 weeks beats having Oleg berating for 3 weeks.

Try waterproof over trousers

Genesis Day01 if you can stretch another £50 http://www.genesisbikes.co.uk/bikes/urban/urban-cross/day-one

Available in 60cm

A few 1st week certainties buoying up my score. It'll slip down once the men are sorted from the boys.

What's Tiralongo doing getting up there in the sprints 2 days in a row?!

Real nice, especially those forks

I think your memory is right; Barrie, rather than Barry

What a legend. Endlessly inspirational.

Just read that Ted King is retiring. Hope he has a good last season

Or it could be that the effects are relatively mild, eg normal people would be able to carry on day to day as normal, but significant enough to have effects at the extremes of human exertion a la pro bike racers?

Anabolic steroids? Anyway, for me, it's the mentality; the willingness to cheat, and the lack of contrition. It could be cultural rather than personality based, but either way there're plenty others I'd rather see doing well.

Hansen talking about beating Sella for that stage win in the Giro - "because of his history I didn't want him to beat me". Hope others will take similar motivation re Zakarin

The shape of the forks and the set in seat stays look really identical to my Witcomb. They had a book with all the frames they'd built recorded - I don't know if you'd be able to get in touch with Barrie through Colourtech in Crayford?

Be good to see how Yates holds up... Currently in 4th on GC

I'm enjoying it a great deal and couldn't be happier myself

You've cracked it then!

I just did a taster session at Lee Valley. Was brilliant fun. Alex Dowsett was training beforehand. Quite mesmerising to watch. Would get tickets if it didn't involve going to Manchester.

Someone was saying that because there was a derny race before Sarsh Story's attempt, they opened all the vents and the temperature was too low. No idea how much difference it made, but guess if would be marginal

Try condor or sigma. Otherwise Mercian in Derby are good for small campag parts

From an Andy Waterman interview with Harry Rowland... “The first proper wheelbuilding job I got was with the Canadian Olympic team in 1976. I was working at Whitcomb in Deptford, old Ernie Whitcomb was like a cross between Arthur Dailey and Fagin. I was an apprentice frame builder, so I had all the donkey work, filing lugs which was horrible. A lot of frame builders don’t like building wheels, they find it boring and it does take a long time, so I ended building a lot of them. At times it was ten pairs a day; the ones who got more time taken were when your mates came in or you had to make them for a pro where I was allowed to spend a lot of time on them. I decided that was the route for me.

“Barry Whitcomb was the main race mechanic for the Canadians, but he used to break spokes when he was building wheels, and he’d go off effing and blinding – we never got to the bottom of that. ‘How come you never break spokes?’ he’d say – well, I don’t know. So when the Olympics came along, he got me to build the wheels".

Apparently he might do a summer 2015-summer 2016 attempt if the miles fall too far behind schedule on the trike.

You fucking hard bastard. Well done!

Not working here. But thanks anyway. Hmm, can I avoid all new of the race for a week until I can watch the recording at home??

Cheers. Got a link?

Internet hopeless for any video where I am. Anyone know of any audio streams (nothing on steep hill).
