You lost me with your post, and I'm not being a smartaas. I really don't get the meaning, I've not heard that one before. I think I get it, but clue me in. The quote in your signature is a classic, btw. I've forgotten some of the nonsense that's been spewed.

Right on the mark. If we were playing fantasy cycling, naturally. My point there is only that GVA is a damned good rider. I don't believe that was the case in this race. It appeared to me that he rode the best tactical race out of anyone else there. He put the right effort in at the right...

A potato is faster than Stannard? Ivan Basso would outsprint Stannard? Calling Stannard a *** for working? I second the egg on face comments. As a matter of fact, there is so much egg on some faces that they've disappeared and can't breath well enough to eat some humble pie. While I...

To the OP, excellent and very loaded topic. I'm actually surprised and shocked that more isn't written about the vastly different levels of performance of many riders today as compared to a few years ago. When I saw popo come off yesterday, I believe it was the break in stage 16, I...

I think you summed it up pretty well.

One cannot argue that the vast majority of casual observers will only have seen that Gerrans won and not paid enough attention nor have been astute enough to recognize the way he did it. In the world of wins and marketing, that's all that matters, one cannot argue that. That does not however...

I'm not sure if they had radios or not during MSR. My guess is that either way, Gerrans had to have known that Goss was no longer in the front group going down the Poggio. That means that Goss and Nibali sat on Fabian's wheel for essentially all of over 8 km-then Gerrans jumped for the win...

Man, I wish I were that creative, I can't stop laughing.

Here's the perfect example of a person who's knowledgeable, experienced, and well versed in the dynamics and details of cycling and the cycling world. It's glaringly obvious that they are overqualified to debate and discuss the nuances as well as details of which this thread entails. Please...

I'm going to stay on topic, since this is the L thread, even though this post is to question how any milligram of credibility or attention can be attributed to tardo's posts. I've followed this thread from the beginning and have seen how tardo obviously knew absolutely all of nothing about...

The bikes are designed in Spain and the molds are made in Spain. It's supposed to ensure top quality product. The production bikes are then made in China. There is nothing wrong with carbon products made in China or Taiwan. It's the design and QC that greatly determine the quality of the final...

A few yrs ago, I was in a position where I needed a new road and tt bike. A good deal was offered to me so I picked up an R3 and P3 carbon tt bike. I was very disappointed with the quality of the paint work, had an issue with some paint cracking at the top of the seat tube, and sent one back for...

Tyler is a pretty good guy and too classy to directly come out and say what was on his mind regarding this topic. It was all too clear however, what he implied and my assumption would be that he knows something that we don't. "people", as in more than one rider, don't generally make these...

I just bought a top end helmet this eve. I started laughing when a warning read something like this: "this helmet is designed to protect against major (skull crushing) injuries and is not designed to protect against other dangerous injuries such as concussions" I've had quite a beef with...
