They mentions carbon bike, wheels, tyres, their personal weight and the fact that the tyres are bulging. Because I have pretty much the same setup as the OP, and weight, maybe i'm a bit heavier, I let the OP know what setup I run. I've had no issues. Yeah, 110 is on the high side, but the...

I am roughly your weight, and have a set of Mavic Ksyrium Elite wheels. They are a few years old and I've ridden thousands of kms on them. They are the best wheel I've owned. Never ever had an issue like you describe. I would say your PSI is way too low. I only use continental tyres, GP4000s...

Most regular people can see this a mile off. Is there some sort of deficiency with people who own sports teams or licences where they get fooled by sparkling objects? This fiasco reminds me of HAAS F1 and the Rich Energy sponsorship. Looks dodgy, smells dodgy. These organisations don't even...

excluding allaphillippe, who i expect to crack a-la voekler, the top guys are separated by mere seconds. I see none of them doing anything today, follow the wheels, set tempo. Its the guys further down the top 10 who have the opportunity if they have the energy. guys like uran, porte, martin...

I have a feeling that ineos isn't at their best, and G might not be able to attack, more hold and limit losses. I think this could be a stage for Porte. He is actually looking in good form, knows how the sky train works and have the ability to attack. And with the current time loss, might be...

Re: that loop at the end is strange. The road doesn't show like that on Google street view unless it's been changed recently. Could be fun to see a 2up coming in with the fight for the inside line.

Re: 2019 Giro d'Italia Stage 17: Commezzadura - Anterselva 1 What I would like to see. Merida to chase down all breakaways until Landa tries and let him slip away. Allow him to gain time enough that he thinks he is a chance with the overall and then really pound the pedals to try to put...

I'd love to see the GC guys who are down on time (yates, lopez, maybe sivakov too) attacking from the get go and force jumbo, bora, merida to use their teams up early so its mano a mano come the top of aprica. won't happen though. we'll see nothing until mortirolo and by that time i'd have...

Not sure if anyone has used tramadol as an an IV opposed to a tablet. I have for medical reasons and the pain relief in unbelievable. I'm unsure how someone could actually stay upright on a bike while using it, but if they did they'd feel nothing at all. I guess your muscles still need the...

who went down first? looks like the astana rider was taken out by someone else falling. Maybe a FDJ rider?

It is quite hot in Australia right now. 45C/113F is well more than hot enough, but add in the UV factor, its insane. I'm Australian with Italian heritage, so my skin isn't exactly one that burns easily, but I've really noticed in the last 15 years or so the UV factor becoming more and more...

Hopefully it's a good race tonight. Going through my dad's home town in Popoli so I'll be watching the whole thing. Beautiful countryside.

I was able to look. It's just past 2h 6Min in the video. It really just looks like he pushes off with his right leg.

Not sure if this is the same video as I can't watch it. I'm on vacation at the moment. But SBS Australia have full reply of all the stages on their website. You might need an Australian VPN to view the video. http://www.sbs.com.au/cyclingcentral/videos

i actually just checked out the vuelta route. looks pretty good. tdf should look at that.
