Other than the Ritchey breakaway bikes and the Explorateur ones, or something more custom with S&S, is there anyone who makes frames that can be broken down into a small case for travel?

Last night's ride

PMing you one

Had a bit of a wobble in March-April as I went on holiday but I passed 11kg lost since Jan today. I'm aiming to lose another 5kg in the next few months.

I've got a decathlon one... seems good enough for my use but I'm not climbing everest or anything

Other than binning it twice on the Assietta just before Sestriere, it did make the Finestre seem like a bit long but mostly okay so I get the concept :)

He'd be funnier if they won much of anything in the tour...

How's the way up the Colombardo this year, was horrible last time. Looking forward to going back to finish it next year after crashing my way back to the airport last year.

Great photos!

Problem with that story is Woods himself told media that he'd massively under-fuelled on stage 5 and he had a serious issue on stage 6 which caused him to over-eat which caused the "stomach issues". It's like in F1 when the teams say they have an oil leak which causes retirement, when the oil leak is caused by the engine exploding.

Froome didn't help matters this year by saying, effectively, that the team let him down and that he was in great form. Ultimately, age and injuries mean he's a shadow of his former self. Also, frankly, the team isn't good enough to help a rider to a podium in the tour.

You can't imagine Sky/Ineos letting a rider under-fuel in a stage to the extent they drop 23 minutes like Woods did on stage 6.

Robert Jenrick has cartoon murals painted over at children’s asylum centre

Paintings were considered too welcoming at Kent centre for lone children arriving in UK

I do have a feeling there's some sort of residue from manufacturing (maybe some kind of release agent) that eventually wears off.

That said Wout seems to be on his own mystical tour at the mo. Maybe they’ll spring something on a less assuming day.

Wout sometimes looks like if he said "fuck it" and pushed on he could win the tour on his own.

Easily done, move to the burning hellscape of Australia

Garmin suggested I stop wearing it when I sweat...

Dreamy Pete reckons that it wasn't teams underestimating Hindley that allowed him into the break, but just that it was such a large break it was uncontrollable

Lanterne Rouge sort of agrees that Hindley just sneaked into the 30+ group that formed the break and probably the other teams thought it was a different Bora rider rather than him.

I've had a couple of FSA ones that have been fine. Or haven't killed me YET

Don't disagree but he made back 90+ seconds back on Hindley with relatively little help.

It's just lazy media. Lots of them decided that all Pog had to do was have a better team and a fishmonger couldn't beat the wunderkind on a equal footing. Everything else stems from that.

Just watched the highlights? Who the fuck thought letting a Giro winner (and 2nd place) get a 4 minute lead in a break was a good idea? Similarly, Vingegaard was a beast, that acceleration and run down to the finish was amazing.

I switched to leather for a while as I had the same issue. In the end cheap no-brand straps from amazon also didn't give me a rash. Not sure what the issue is but I won't touch a genuine strap any more.

if you had a lot of Hope parts on your MTB

Usually seat clamps and skewers in my experience :)

In Luxembourg there's no requirement to give water for free in bars and restaurants so many don't. Want water with your meal, buy a bottle of it, rather than a glass from the tap. Lots of places do provide it, but it's not a legal thing, just a "We think water shouldn't cost 5 euros" sort of thing.

Capt Tom Foundation closes to donations as council orders building demolition

After saying that they were creating a building that would partly be used “in connection with the Captain Tom Foundation and its charitable objectives”, his daughter built one with a spa pool in it that she's now got to knock down. Maybe he liked a swim.
