I'll try not to be :) I know; maybe it's because In both sports that I've actually competed in you're always taught to go to the end, no matter if you're not going to win, tying up etc., him not doing that cost his team

For Martin's sake I really hope he doesn't let go of Sagan's wheel for tomorrow and goes into yellow

no but he sat up; whereas if he carried on racing to the line, his team mate would be in yellow, a team mate that buries himself time and time again for him

Gonna be awkward at the Ettix dinner table tonight, Cav's laziness meaning Martin doesn't get the yellow jersey

PBK have it for the same price but it's TDF time so there should be a few codes flying about

@bashthebox I know it makes little difference to 99% of us here but this is worth a look https://fairwheelbikes.com/c/reviews-and-testing/road-bike-crank-testing/

@speedvagen http://www.ligerowheelworks.com/shop/ligero-vm29-dark-matter-rim get your wallet out...

dibs if I can (?!) for @DoktorPepe He'll be mega interested, PS just realized I never replied to that pm, hope this makes up for it!

Dumolin, but won't get enough time on Thomas for the GC, will be close between him and Spilak for 2nd

I had a quick read of the patent and it seems to be a hydraulic caliper brake that's integrated as part of the fork/frame, to be used with r785's for example.

I've got extreme 3s' and use the adaptors, works like a dream, the adaptor kind of creates the flattened bit that a speedplay specific sole would have and so you don't get the problems I'd imagine you would with their normal 3 bolt adaptors

@valente be careful, the cutout isn't actually cutout yet on any of them, it's a common critiscism in the reviews but I can see why they do it, get a small torch and a knife and have a look and you'll find it

ag2r have been on it pretty much all season, one or two riders have also used a wireless tt setup

Or just Sram and Campagnolo both realizing they need to get their groups on factory spec bikes, Raleigh have now ditched shimano and going with Sram too

This is what I hear every time and then I think of a Jamaican cycling team that would just boss the sprints

Still not as good as Sean Kelly's "calc-u-lay-sharns" it used to annoy me, now it's part of the show

Hi mate, if you can hold on for a while I could help you out.

I've got some but need to get a 170mm nds sugino 75 arm so I'm not crankless for a while, hoping something pops up on njs export if you can hold on for a couple of weeks?

Then again it's inconsequential for Clarke who also got 2 mins, a fine would have been much fairer for all parties

What I dislike is that on this particular case they've been so tight about it, a rider getting a wheel to limit his losses is nowhere near as bad as a group of riders crossing barriers that are down, endangering their own lives and those around them, yet which one was provoked?

And I didn't watch the stage yesterday, but I heard the camera bike was getting mighty close to the all Italian breakaway, something I can easily see, but nothing's happened...

There is talk of the mass wheel swap, a couple of Orica riders have retweeted a Dan Lloyd tweet suggesting it, hopefully the old heads put their foot down and force it.

@amey

to join our Trek team in Waterloo, Wisconsin

the whole peloton to swap wheels with one another

How much did you get it for out of curiosity? (thinking of selling mine so feel free to inbox me if you'd rather not say publicly)

Missed the closing km's but I managed to get a double on Cav to win the stage and Sag's for the GC earlier, feeling smug now :)

Always cool when bike handling skills mean you win a race, and this'll shut Oleg up for a bit now, happy for Sagan, and he fucked the eternal twat that is Farrar over

Changing of the guard now? is Alaphillipe Mr. 2nd Place after missing out on fleche wallone, l-b-l and now this?!

They won't need to, EQS' main aim for this stage is to get Cav the win, according to Alaphillipe anyway, that may have changed though what with the Sagan situation.

They basically need to decide: Stage for Cav or risk that a break will stay away and gift Alaphillipe the win, I don't think a break will, as there's another three teams who will chase

Cheers, watching it now, Cav took the intermediate for 5 seconds, then Sag's second by a whisker for 3 seconds and Alaphillipe for 1 second.

So Alaphillipe holds the lead by 0.7 seconds and Sagan just needs to finish on the podium to win, watch him lock onto Cav's wheel now

What happens if he gets 2? That's the difference between him and Alaphillipe right? or is it really 2.XX

I'm no look expert, but needs to be a silver group I reckon, silver 5800, with classic stem, bars and post, then modern silver hubs (hope mono rs?) laced to grey tb14's.

That'd be the perfect blend of looking classic but having all the modern performance

Grey won't go with the stays and silver accents on the paint I don't think

Incredible ride from Alaphillipe, going to be one to watch for the future
