    New Bike for Every Lap?

    It is what it is I guess... I have not raced cross for a few years and only did a few races but watched more. I dont remember bike changes being restricted to Pros we were all allowed to change if we had the people and kit. From what I remember in the UK a lot of races were over and...

    Polar S series Cadence Sensor Problem

    the issue I have had is that with a center mount it would not work with a aluminium stem but would work with a full carbon stem. I know its a diff issue but it does suggest that the output/frequency is sub std of course these things do fail/wear out... digital versions have far stronger...

    Old school pedal fitting

    Hey porkie in the days when I rode with toeclips and straps the shoes still had a cleat...(with a slot that fitted over the trailing edge of the pedal) and the potential was the same regarding mis alignment. When setup correctly modern pedals have enough float etc to work without pain...

    Team strategies for Friday?

    LOL Meatloaf...;) Geez in that pic LA does look like a cage fighter compared to AC. LA did do a lot of gym work in his Star Banging time off the bike... had to buff up a bit for the Olsens etc I guess. It has to be said that he does look a lot more solid in his arms and upper body than...

    What's this, Contador caused the split?

    OR it was a conspiracy: LA met with HTC the night before at a secret location and GH told LA to tell JB that they could setup AC by timing the water run with an attack at that right turn.... pure Genius LOL seriously I think ur right a lot of riders and DSs got caught out.

    Lance speaking to Frank Andreu?

    Hincapie was never going to win any GT and he has surley missed some stage wins for the "boss" but he is a professional bike racer. He has received full team support in one day races and you only have to look at his Rubaix history to know bad luck has robbed him of at least one win and possibly...

    Lance now Astana team leader...

    @Thoughtforfood ur obviously referring to me, I made the statement re race experience relative to the crosswind tactics if you read it any other way you misunderstood my post. I am sorry for not making it clearer

    Lance now Astana team leader...

    @Publicus I agree he has definately been doing verbal gymnastics either for reasons of insecurity or tactics. @Speedway, yes the "rage is rife"... and yes time will tell.......

    Lance now Astana team leader...

    @Bikecentric... good reply...hehe nuff with the back slapping. The thing about the crosswind is that it takes a similar, in fact greater physical/mental commitment by another team or group on the chase as you can only get a limited number on the front. I disagree on the TT in that I think...

    Lance now Astana team leader...

    @Publicus I have no idea what LA has in his tank as he has proven in the past that he can pull off the deception of poor form. I will say though that I doubt he is at the level of any previous winning form, if he is, he has fooled me, and ur right if he is not then he has been dodging and...
