This is all news to me, I had the Guerc set up exactly the same

Been riding with this set up since about 2011. When it needs a service and a re-wrap I may consider swapping the bars out but it has worked this way so far.

Ha exactly this. Both pool and cycling are enhanced by either two pints or tramadol

I find the same playing pool

Come for the laughs, stay for the education...

Depends on the dope. Beta-blockers or even a stiff shot of alcohol would help with any nerves.

I am a demon on the bike after 2-3 pints.

They are Nitto Noodles; is there another way to angle them? They were literally the only road drops I was familiar with having had them on my Geurciotti, the only other road bike I have owned. I would have considered other bars if I had a scoobies of what would have been good options. Initially I felt the whole set up was a bit reachy but it feels perfect now.

Haha I was expecting that to be challenged. I think he emerged as a classic puncheur, strong and explosive. Then he just got better and as he did he got isolated. I mean we used to joke about how he was always second.

Then he just started winning but it was maybe not until that WC sprint when he beat Cav as a turning point when I would say he can basically beat the best on the flat, then pop off up a mountain in the break a day later. That is special.

Oooh tasty interview with Froome "we are all on the same page" but not saying what the page is.

Well anything that spreads the message is good. Bidons are all bio-degradable these days, the tour has litter zones and you see them unzip and drop all their gel wrappers in them, they stuff them up their jerseys until them. Bidons are frequently thrown towards fans.

I do like the Sky kit, Orca on the back on point. A holiday in the Gower and a couple of days walking off the beach with as much rubbish as we could carry really bought it home. I do want to volunteer for clean ups when I can.

How lush it must be for a domestique for the yellow jersey to get into the break, total day off. Unless you gotta do it with him.

GVA poker face in pre-stage interview: 'probably my last day in yellow'

Nah fuck that Imma go in the break...

Yes and they weren't riding to chase down GVA much either.

Finally watching the stage. First climb and watching Sagan launch an attack and get into the break just as his potential green jersey rivals are shelled out the back. Is why the green jersey is forever his no matter how they tweak the points. I mean he sprints as quick as the so-called pure sprinters now, he never used to. Incredible really.

I have a black Chris King for it and apart from maybe better tyres and brake calipers I'm done. Absolutely love it.

The last time a MTBer jumped the Tour. Today ended better. 2002, Galibier

Is GVA still going to be in yellow?

Except they seem to be controlling the race anyway as if they were in yellow

saw that a MTB rider jumped the leaders. I remember that happening many years ago and the rider wiping out massively on the landing. This chap appears to have stuck it.

Reporting the important things

I forget how good this bike when I neglected it. Love riding it

She did row it back in the end, plenty didn't

Don't go down that particular rabbit hole, I did for a while and you realise that these people do not have the best interests of the sport at heart, they don't do it out of principle, they do it for the drama. Most of the clinic regulars are active on Twitter, it is how they disseminate their projections.

What was he saying? Can't watch at work.

Anything like that suffers from huge confirmation bias as these dickheads that have been sneering at cyclists for years are so desperate to be right.

Interesting dynamic in Sky: Thomas seems to think leadership will be decided on the road, Knaven and Froome not so much.

Also did Porte break something? He seems to think so but the Guardian said he dislocated his shoulder and his team owner didn't think so either.
