Dead rider @1:18

So much cooler in every way racing without a massive pile of plastic on your bonse

Malevolent inferiority complex. Shifting down as you passed as he shifted up to compete destroyed his will. The more you sped away your effortless buttocks mocked his clenched. He's not slept since and has swapped all that bike's components for the more fancy. His family are starving. One day you'll meet again. His gritted jaw will make sure of it.

I hope for their sake he doesnt have a family.

Where is this?

Im up in Banbury. Its Edge hill (the Knowle). Actually less than a mile!

I am doing the Omnium (in Banbury Star kit fyi). Quite looking forward to it, will be something a bit different. Although doing a TTT the day before will either be good or bad. Will find out upon first couple of pedal strokes!

Fg crit looks fun, will try and get there to watch that.

Anyone have experience of the course?

Such weird behaviour, you'd think he'd welcome you sharing the work. I do know one person who acts a bit like this. He' getting on a bit and is coming to terms with the fact he's not fast any longer - just average. I find it puzzling.

yep, I was pretty surprised to be honest. If he didnt shout that right in my ear I would have been happy sharing wheels for a bit.

It wasnt even like I blasted past him without a greeting, goading him to chase. If someone passes me with a greeting Ill usually just carry on at my pace. If they pass without any words then I normally take that as an invitation to stick on their back wheel just to see if they like it or not! Not really out of order to do that though I dont think...

This sucks. People like this ruin cycling for me.

I came out of a side road a few hundred meters behind a guy on a road bike on sunday. Decided that his fluoro rain jacket, and hairy legs meant I was faster than him. Attacked him constantly for a couple km's, while, of course, trying to look like I was taking it easy. Never even made his bloody wheel. Then when he turned off to the right. I caught a glimpse of his face and saw that he was fecked. I gave a massive exhale to let him know I'd been pushing it too. Exchanged waves and rode on.

This is how these little encounters should go.

yes, just cant understand the attitude of some people! Did make me lol though.

For comparison, later in the ride I was hanging off the back of a rider (thin climber type) up a big hill (14% av for about a mile- biggest in the area) all the way up- just managed to keep him at around 5 bike lengths while going pretty much flat out.

Looked like he wasnt trying that hard but when we both summited neither of us could speak for about a minute! Then exchanged words and shared wheels for a couple of miles. Cant imagine how pissed of that other guy would have been if I overtook him at the top.

Sunday ride. I overtook some guy on a roadbike and in club kit, saying 'hello' as usual. He replies 'hi'. He then re-takes me on a short hill obvs pushing a bit, so I push on and close the gap and then go past again on a long drag, to which he looks angrily at me shouting 'stay behind!'.

I say 'pardon' but there now being a bit of a gap I dont hear him say anything else. I look behind to see him make an effort and get on my wheel (actually half-wheeling me for some reason), so I start the usual pot-hole pointing while discreetly puting out as many watts(shitloads) as possible up the drag. Didnt see him again.

So now you know, dont dare re-overtake someone unless you want an ear-full.

Nice. Actually have the 'FDJ' one

cheers, not sure about camera- its my bros photos- some filter I think! Here is a more normal hue one

that is lovely; maybe black seatpost/silver stem? Is that kalloy stem?

Cheers, no its an ebay special 'cast aluminium' one for 1" steerer. Seems nicely finished.

Just finished my Koga build. Got the frame off here a while back.

Kubica can never make it back to F1, because he was a bit of an idiot. One should not risk one's whole career on a whim.

Hamilton will never release a music single, because he could stop himself before it was too late. Unlike Kubica, who still pines for F1. Musical aspirations, no matter how ludicrous, do not affect driving.

Doubt you would be happy about how many racing series 60's F1 drivers raced in away from F1 then.

I think its really sad that the current F1 drivers wouldnt be allowed to do other series even if they wanted to. 'elf and saftey init

Kubica- legend (finally got some decent points in WRC recently too). Think he will be on it come Spain.

citroen bx turbo

Peugeot 405x4 Mi16 vs Citroen BX 2.0 Turbo 4wd - YouTube

Id steer clear of the 4x4 (broke quite alot). GTI 16v ftw

cool

Wet day in the saddle yesterday by the looks of it but as mentioned still plenty of spectators out which was good. I should have gone to Northampton to watch the first one but completely forgot to book off work...

Great to see Vos racing on British roads.

Inside info... Sharon Laws comes out on our winter training rides sometimes. This year she was riding a ratty Prorace (with a rack) and nutrition is sorted with..... bananas.

It seems to have worked. :)

Yeah enjoying watching the TOB highlights. Bit of a fan of Emma Johansson

Definitely the ph.2, the ph.1 had nasty understeer issues. Although I do prefer the ph.1 aesthetically. Great engine, used by Peygeot and Nissan

Pretty sure oversteer was the issue! ph.2 looks much better IMO and probably nicer to drive. Want

Brundle's take on the active suspension.

Similar to mine I'm not surprised to read.

Think active would be good. Less emphasis on aero

the swiss banned motorsport. go figure

oh dear. I like A Frankel's car review articles. This though is pretty embarrassing.

Surprised Motorsport have reacted like that on fbook too. They should give him a copy of the highway code and tell him to not write such shit again.

looks good. V good result, would like to try a stage race. There was a Milton Keynes 3 day one at weekend also. Thought they normaly put stage finish times on velouk

My bike decided to do this when I was about 30 miles from home on Sat. What a great fucking day. On the plus side an extremley nice bloke gave me and bike a lift most of way back.
