If Sagan had pulled this stunt everyone would be going crazy. As it is the man least likely to do this has confounded everyone. Bravo Chris froome.

Cav now favourite for the world champs this year? Or will the olympics take too much out of him?

I guess there was some thought cav would ditch the tour before the mountains to go back and train for the track. You think he is now fancying his chances on the champs elysee?

I think this is exactly what the Tories are going to do.
They like winning elections and now austerity is not going to be a win votes so that policy will be dumped.

A few days on, which have really proved the adage a week is a long time in politics, I still think labour have an enormous problem and it goes far beyond corbyn.

The pre-existing coalition of post industrial northern England/Wales and London (and the smattering of places like it) are now utterly split. The referendum campaign brought out and reinforced underlying differences in view amongst these places of what the median voter wants from the country and labour.

An attempt to turn labour back into a blairite party will see places like Sunderland vote for ukip. Changing into a 1970s party against Europe and immigration will see the lib dems peel off middle class liberal voters in London.
But to win a general election labour needs both these groups of people AND people who didn't vote for it in 2015.

The status quo isn't tenable for labour but nor are the obvious alternatives.

The fact Corbyn isn't doing a great job as leader isn't helping but even if they could replace him with someone more charismatic and media savvy the bigger problem still faces the party on strategy.

Anyone who can come up with a viable strategy for joining together the two halves of labour voters. Those who were super keen on remain and like living in multi cultural places like Hackney and those who were super keen on leave and want to turn Britain back to how it looked for working class people in the 60s before globalisation and international competition.

Seems like quite a heroic task.

I would guess stanard goes. After all wasn't it echelons that did for quintana last year?

How's the paint job holding up to riding cx?
Photos look immensely good.

Looks absolutely great.

As I understand this the developer wants to use the parkland walk for his construction lorries as there is no road access to the property.

Given the costs he is incurring I can only presume his end game is to try and achieve permanent vehicle access to the property using the precedent gained in the construction process as his legal route in.
Without permanent vehicle access the sale price of the finished property will be pretty low (as i suspect was the price they paid in the first place). With car access the developer will make a killing.

Really hope that we don't get to Rio and find armistead is knackered from crushing everyone at the start of the season. Saw her ride past in London 2012. Really want her to get gold this year.

For 37 quid that is certainly a bargain as long as it is straight and not full of hidden rust! Good luck with the build!

Still waiting for my tickets. Time to start panicking they have gotten lost in the post?

Doesn't immediately look like an as wildly out of proportion frame as a 10cm difference in st and tt would suggest. Headtube looks large but not enormous

Seems like it has started well though.

Seems logical. Ta

What's the latest speculation on when the next nexus might be released? This year or 2017?

Fair points. The Loire valley has better weather than Yorkshire though.

There has to be a catch on the château surely? New autoroute about to be built right outside or hugely expensive emergency structural works need doing?

Hello watch people. I need a clock for my kitchen wall. Any particular suggestions?

Looks interesting. Haven't seen too many good fixed + disc brakes builds. This might well be one.

Are condor ditching their orange colour scheme for all their frames? It doesn't sound like a great business decision, it must be their best selling colour.

May as well go ahead and merge with bike porn thread.

It looks just like the name would indicate, so that you can remain hidden in the shadows until the time comes to attack the race.

Nice(?) but a bit pricey.

Be careful buying a phone in north america if you are planning to come back to the UK and use it full time. It may not have access to every signal signal frequency used in Europe. Particularly if it is a budget model.

Obviously it will have access to some frequencies and so will work in blighty, but it might be a bit unfortunate if the one band it cannot access is the one your UK network provider broadcasts most strongly at your home/work.

Looks like it took him a good while to descend the closed road covered in snow/ice of the petit San Bernard in the dark. Awesome effort but I guess there were at least a few moments on the descent when he was thinking it might not have been the best idea he has ever had.
