Re: Re: Fair enough - would be a good signing for nibbles who is missing two or three top end mtn doms looking at the roster thus far. I seem to remember Sky suggesting he was going to sign when they announced Wisniowski.

Re: Re: With you there as a stand alone jersey, but a shame it won't stand out as much in a peloton which is becoming a monotonous shade of deep blue/black.

Re: Re: I thought Henao had extended too? But Rosa for Konig is an upgrage IMO. Proven as a strong Mtn Dom. Konig more of a leader.

I've got an Allez Sport 2014 edition which is fitted with a SORA 9 speed groupset. The rear cassette is an HG-50, 9-speed, 12-27T. I'm looking at purchasing an 11-30T version of the 9 speed HG-50 to get up some sharp hills which are, at times, ruining my fun on rides. Firstly, could someone...

Re: Re: Or more likely, that the doctors turn of phrase was poor. Didn't strike me as a linguist in the video.

Re: Re: It's not a runner. The article quotes The good Dr as saying this [the undercover reporter] was the first time he'd helped a runner.

Re: British Doctor claims he doped 150 sports stars includin "He went on to describe how he had also visited another London clinic where one of British Sports top doctors had advised him on drugs he might take which mimicked the effects of testosterone but were not yet banned in sport". Sounds...

Has to be Tiernan-Locke. The Doctor says "You want to do it off cycle or between races." Granted, cycle may refer to a cyclical event rather than the sport cycling, but the term 'racing' significantly narrows the list. Jason White (Cyclist) is the only other banned athlete from 2014 who may...

Perfect. My stem was at a 6 degree drop. I've flipped it so that I've got a 12 difference from where I was. Looks a little bit odd, with the greater handlebar height but is a far more comfortable rise for me at the moment! Thanks again.

Thanks both. I'll have a look at flippping the stem tonight.

I'd like to raise my handlebars slighty (by approx. 20mm). Currently there are 4 5mm headset spacers on the bike (20mm) and Specialized recommend a maximum of 40mm worth of spacers. Obviously there appears to be scope (just) to increase the height of my handlebars to the desired height by...

Contador in '09? It was all for Armstrong and let Contador do what he wants at Astana that year.

The TTs aren't that long (for the tour) though and in the context of the riders we are discussing I believe him to be the form rider in TTs. I know he's mainly excelled on lumpy parcours but the ability to TT itself will be crucial

Can you expand? Hadn't heard of this twitter exchange previously.

Quintana. His TT form has been superb this year.
