Anyone know what wheels, tires (clincher or tubeless) and air pressure used By the top 3?

I can’t be the only one envisioning this (if they used it) going really bad? Similar to 2 pro riders staring at a flat front tire with no Allen key or quick release lever to swap wheels.

Whoa, did he drink that big beer?

Nailed it with that post! 11 minute lead with heat, hills and lack of teams chasing (including USA) led to the mix up. They all knew the gap was 11 minutes correct? Not sure either team had designated riders to go to the front, sacrifice their individual results and close the gap, like the...

Surly, Bernal at 302 watts was not going that hard?? What would his usual wattage be for that length and gradient at 1800 metered elevation?

Talented young kid doesn’t understand employment and how it works. Happens in a lot of sports with young wonder kids. Provided for, pampered and treated special due to talent, in my opinion. No concept when you are so successful as a teenager and your focused on a sport and outside of reality...

Hi Cafe du Cycliste This coffee shop/bicycle shop near the cruise ship port in Nice had some high end Colnago bikes to rent. They were a little expensive but still a good option if you need to rent. The shop has some really nice bike jerseys and clothes, very friendly people. The back side...

Re: Hi, Has anyone switched from Sidi shoes to the new Specialized that can give a shoe size comparison? My 4 year old Sidi shoes are 44.5 and usual shoe size (Nike) is 10.5 U.S. What size Specialized would you suggest ordering? Thanks, Rob

Decent game last night, the Cavs missed their chance with the cold shooting performance of Curry and Thompson. At times, Cleveland tries to play too much like Golden State (like other teams) and it just does not work as well. When the 3 point game goes bad, it looks real bad, teams passing up...

Hi hoop fans, I am watching now, WOW Curry has 6 three's in the first quarter and is going for 400 for the year. I think he needs 8 for the game. He is dialed in and the Memphis defense looks like they are done for the year. Still fantastic shooting to watch! I hope they get the record. I...

For sure on the Indiana vs NC match up. I had not watched Indiana this year but hey look well balanced and athletic yesterday. NC and Kansas look very good as well. It would be nice if a few underdog teams keep advancing, go Northern Iowa! Washpun has a reported 46 inch vertical! The Spurs...

I will definitely be watching both games tonight(NCAA and NBA), crazy clicking the remote. Watching Indiana against Kentucky now, rooting for Indiana. I had Michigan State in the finals!! The Warriors were dialed in last night with both Curry and Thompson hitting the 3's. Best shooting guards...

The Lakers took it to them, Curry and Thompson went 13/40 and 1/18 on 3's. That probably won't happen again. I agree on the late Sunday games being weird, but this was prime time TV. They seem to throw the ball away a lot against crummy teams or squander a big lead. The Spurs grow closer and...

Re: For sure,lots of ex players, some not very good (Ceballos) claiming the Warriors and Curry are not that good or just a defensive adjustment. With his shooting range (23-28 feet easily) and quick release he is so hard to defend. Then if you get 2 defenders out there, they are 20-25 feet...

Hi, I may be able to help a little. I am an old guy cat 3 masters racer. I have the Venge Pro (not sworks) model with Ultegra electric and have trained and raced on it the past 2 seasons. It is a nice race bike. I would rate it is a little stiff but not really harsh. It is a good blend...
