    Giro d'Italia 2025 Giro d'Italia Women, July 6-13

    Gigante is a true racer. Despite her demeanour and bike handling limitations, if she smells blood she'll try to strike. Reusser being slightly unwell explains her teams actions

    Giro d'Italia 2025 Giro d'Italia Women, July 6-13

    Hopefully Gigante has finally turned a corner. It's always a flash of massive potential followed by an unlucky crash. Or a crash from bad bike handling. Or an illness/heart condition. It's exhausting being a fan of hers

    Good on Yates. If they're going to ride like total fwits you have to punish them :p

    Giro d'Italia Giro d'Italia 2025 stage 20: Verrès – Sestrière, 205 km

    Del Toro should have gotten off his bike at the foot of the final climb and started signing autographs. Just to rub it into Carapaz

    The Caleb Ewan Thread

    Said it before and I'll say it again. Family life took precedence for him, you could see it over all his social media. First place he goes after announcing his retirement? Disneyland

    Teams & Riders Tadej Pogačar discussion thread

    Not from MvDP already in good form. I do see Pogacar being there close to the end though

    Your local weather

    Cyclone Alfred hit Brisbane last night, the city was spared the worst but the Gold Coast and Brisbane islands were hit very hard.

    Campagnolo - Any point?

    I just saw the prices for the new Super Record and Record wireless! WTF has happened to this sport? You could buy a pro spec bike less than 10 years ago for the price of the Super Record :(...

    Diagnostic Advice

    Muc Off lubes are garbage. Their cleaners are OK, but don't go near their lubes.

    Jay Vine discussion thread

    When Vine won the Zwift Academy to get his break, he was actually scheduled to move to ARA Racing with Henk Vogels. With Vogels contacts in Europe I do think it would have been a matter of time before Vine came to somebody's attention.

    Campagnolo - Any point?

    Has anyone else managed to get mechanical to make multiple shifts at once in both directions yet? Campagnolo mastered that when? Late 90s?

    Campagnolo - Any point?

    A friend rides a Winspace SLC 3.0 with Chorus and Boras and some lighter components, great climbing bike.

    Campagnolo - Any point?

    Campagnolo has always been an innovator over the years, and unlike Shimano and SRAM at least you can completely strip down and rebuild their shifters. A crash isn't usually a death sentence for a Campagnolo shifter. The constant gripe I always hear (other than the price) is that the shift feel...
