With modern day bikes, training and nutrition, he would've smoked everyone yesterday.

Modern, wide tubeless tires (or clinchers with tpu) alone would knock so much off the rolling resistance that he'd be a minute faster.

He had like three good days in his whole career, what makes you think yesterday would have been one of them.

He had twice that in the Dauphiné alone. So around six and a half across his whole career.

What's more annoying?

One Tour stage being slightly altered because of a bovine disease?

Multiple weeks without racing because of a sporting event that barely features cycling?

Not sure, but I know what's most annoying. I won't tell you about it, though.

I would say @CyclistAbi won the Tour in our community. His performance has been really strong despite the lack of Rogla's success. I'm curious what substances he takes though. I guess it's more than just water & sugars (my diet). Some people (@Netserk ) were busted by our hero seems untouchable.

What does your dentist say when you brush your teeth with sugar though? And the lack of protein and other nutrients?

Today needing all the drugs I can get from having to multi task two browsers and reset up my discord so that I can keep contact with people here outside the forum.

I don't think what you brush your teeth with is usually considered part of your diet.
And I don't think dentists generally care that much about people's diets, as long as they brush their teeth.

Personally I always managed to swallow tooth paste through no intent of my own It's not good for the ephasagus or whatever it's called.

And sometimes you might swallow bugs... that also don't make them part of your diet.

@Ilmaestro99 and @noob being the same person would be something no one saw coming

Including you.

Nor should you use them as a replacement for toothpaste (even though the words for Fluoride and flies are pronounced similarly in Danish).

Worse, I think it's the act of humans.

I've lost track. I've lost track of the Pog-Gianetti thread one month ago, and then during the Tour the UAE thread came up, then Vingo's, then the Sky stuff. I'll never be able to read that all. so fck it

Remco, Redbull, Rogla, Lipo threads

Remco, Redbull, Rogla, Lipo threads

I'm talking about The Clinic threads. the normal ones are of relative importance (sauf the Transfer/rumors thread, the Wild Cards thread and the One-Cycling league thread when it comes up)

Well, a transfer is an interesting thing. A fresh start in a new environment. Friendly competition between teammates. New coaches? New training methods? Zone 2? Better recovery? A special pillow? Marginal gains? I would keep an eye on Remco. We know miracles do happen sometimes.

Regarding the clinic threads you mention, nothing really new. And since I used the mute button, they're much easier to read. Of course there are some holes in the conversation but who cares, it's interval training.

True that! But I accidentally, truly accidentally, almost hit her paw in the dresser this morning so we're now even 😅 It's amazing how small scratches can hurt 😅
