    Vuelta a España Vuelta a España 2025, Stage 5: Figueres – Figueres, 24.1k (TTT)

    Fitting Figure in a post to get this in :) Well Paul Carrack has a song from years ago on his album "One Good Reason" named "(Do I Figure) in your life) ( uses the pronunciation "Figur"). He wrote and sang "How long" with the Band Ace. Went to Squeeze and there they asked him how he would play...

    Teams & Riders Cian Uijtdebroeks - From the wetlands to the top of cycling

    Ergonomics can be very subtle at times. My experience for instance was our home computer with several users with particular mouse pad placing, after a while, and I didn't associate it, had my arm at less than a 90 Deg. and I didn't notice and for about a month or so my elbow would get numb and...

    Teams & Riders The Remco Evenepoel is the next Eddy Merckx thread

    I think Remco has the Aero, engine but as far as I know he hasn't ridden competitively on the track and with banking, so it would be a hurdle he would have to practice at and he might not be able to adapt to those conditions.

    Who is your favourite rider ?

    Forgot to add in general a fan of Portuguese riders being Portuguese decent, though by my time not very indoctrinated to that culture. Though only seeing the later part of Rui Costa's career wasn't so fond of his approach as a wheel sucker though as we know that can be very successful and in his...

    Who is your favourite rider ?

    Some of my Favorites including finding this place because of my Fandom of Sagan are Roglič, Contador, Pogacar. in general American riders but will root against them in particular race when I prefer others. Healy is Fun and there are so many riders I like Del Toro for one and too many to name here.

    Tour de Suisse 2025 - Men's (June 15- June 22)

    One thing I have thought about with the Camera bikes would it be possible to design a combined front rear faring that could minimize drafting from the bike?

    Teams & Riders Official Wout Van Aert thread

    If I remember correctly Vingo would only have needed to pull for less than thirty seconds or so and that wouldn't have hampered his GT, though he just may have not been thinking and missed a chance to help. He might have after the fact (Vingo) realized he could have helped enough to make a...

    Giro d'Italia Giro d'Italia 2025 Route: Speculation, Rumours and Announcements

    The only way that this would be achievable would be if the around the corner supersonic passenger plane is in service and the racing necessities could be staged ahead of time. Even then looking at a world map not sure of the route and how long it would take even with supersonic travel.

    Volta Ciclista a Catalunya 2025, March 24-30

    After having to recover after the Jean gravel race and crash i didn't think he would be as good as he has in this race. So I am encouraged, I still hope he can get close to his best ever again. Would love to see Bernal win some stages and races this year.
