Sorry, I meant Road Worlds (now called UCIWCT Final just for added confusion!) in late August in Pietermaritzburg South Africa (in the same place as the MTB Masters Worlds, just for further added confusion!).:)

Interested in contact from any Australians planning to go to Pietermaritzburg for the UCIWCT Final this year. It would be great to pool knowledge about travel/accommodation/eating arrangements, perceptions of the course, training when there and so on. Hoping to hear from a few planning to race...

Interesting discussion! A couple of observations to offer 1. Evans is not riding the same way this year as he has in previous years (for whatever reason). He is spending more time on his ****, higher cadences and generating more rapid accelerations more easily than previous years. Far less...

No Alberto for me I don't think Alberto will get to Paris. He looks gimpy compared to usual action, he must also be tapped by the Giro (look at the effect it had on Gadret) and seeing Sorensen disappear out the back on Thursday would have been disheartening :(. I know he's a tough and seasoned...

Wow, for a minute I thought it was a quote - talk about falling off your chair! Fair play to you for great imagination, though. :)

Mmmmm . . .... and also Basso 8 secs faster up Motirolo than 06. Some reasonable questions but Sassi seems very sure!

LOL!! Excellent, will try that tomorrow! :D:D

Aldous Huxley might have said "i'm so glad I'm a Junior"!!:)

The winner is . . ...... Maybe in the TT after the rest day we see a change as riders adjust from the day off but by mid-week it will be back to how they felt prior to the Zonk. Hence look at the form on the Zonk and see Basso, Evans, Cunego etc still doing it, with Porte, Arroya etc struggling...

Sorry, I wasn't clear. I meant the leakies would control the group, preventing breaks etc of significance and protect Nibali and Basso to the key points.:)

The leakies have the numbers and thus, I think, the power. Evans was clearly struggling to stay with them yesterday and it's hard to see him improving overnight after what that effort would have cost him. I think Vino is gone after the efforts of the first two weeks. Like others though, I think...

It's bloody depressing!! As an Australian, my sense is that there is an endemic, cultural opposition to doping in sport in Australia (sport as cheating, maybe, which is not to say that it hasn't happened). I guess I hope that Cadel, Stuey, Mick R etc have carried that with them on their...

Interesting ratings for Sastre It's curious that most seem to rate Carlos so highly given his relative absence from racing so far. I can see that he can ride himself into form over the Giro, but his training would need to have put him into close to '08 form to have him ready to go in the first...

Campy 11 sp Athena Hi, I bought this complete groupset in September last year for my training bike. I have 11 sp Chorus on my other bike, so wanted both compatibility and also the same action etc etc. I received the carbon crankset, rather than alloy, when it arrived (an accident by the...
