same with Wout Poels - the egg whisk cadence has gone and they are riding normal. Even Froome on the Zoncolan wasnt riding his usual egg beater cadence. Only explanation is the motor.
Yeah, I've tried it, but my HR always goes up and my speed doesn't. Unlike Froome.brownbobby said:Cycle Chic said:MartinGT said:Old Dawg cadence still seems rapid but doesn't look like the 'motor' is responding.

I think the gradients on Zoncolan might provide another explanation for you here. He was still up around 100rpm, way higher than anyone else.
Ever tried spinning a gear at that sort of cadence on 15-20% gradients?

Disney is the parent company of ABC TV network, which on Tuesday dropped the rebooted '90s sitcom "Roseanne" amid a ferocious online backlash against its star.
Are we now saying Sky is racist? Or is this an attempt to prove they're on Tramadol by suggesting that explains Moscon?Robert5091 said:http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-44310461

How will they treat the Sky "stars" if they take over, I wonder.

As he rode to pre-race sign-in, Rowe approached the fan, took the sign out of his hand, and laid it on the ground. Rowe didn’t say a word, pedaled away and soon returned to the team bus without further incident.
“The rider came over, quickly grabbed my placard and threw it down!” said Didier Bregardes, a fan from Lorient who was holding the sign.
At least two journalists witnessed the incident and confirmed it was Rowe, but he denied it when asked directly about it. He walked onto the Team Sky bus without comment as journalists pressed him for more detail.
“I don’t know what you mean,” Rowe said. “No, it wasn’t me.”

There is nothing bad to fight for fairness, to let injustice grows is deficiency.yaco said:Actually it's the French Cycling fan who should go home - Be positive and support your favorite rider and team, instead of being negative and abusing another team.
