Tour de Suisse 2021 (June 6-13)

ATTENTION:

Conci is starting now.

Fingers crossed his twins are watching from home!

 

[Hugo Koblet]

So... Alaphilippe is starting?

Apparently he's starting today but not tomorrow because his wife/girlfriend is giving birth to their child Monday. I don't get it; why not do the last stage as well then?

Probably because the birth of your first child, is more important than a stage in TdS

It's Conca with the imaginary twins. Get your fictional families straight...

Conca is out.

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Kragh constantly above 400 Watts.

I feel a great time is in the works.

But the last stage is ridden on Sunday, not monday.

You really trust these Watt-numbers? As long as the producers can't even get GPS-times right, there's no way in hell these numbers are anywhere close to correct.

You do realise births cannot be scheduled precisely, right?

It seems the numbers could be trusted in this instance

 

[RedheadDane]

Yu do realise births cannot be scheduled precisely, right?

Unless it's a planned C-section...

Søren Kragh best at the intermediate.

In some instances it can

Usually c-sections are only used if the birth is "problematic", but hey, the rules may be different in France

 

[Hugo Koblet]

You still have no idea if the numbers are correct or not

Producers aren't responsible for the power values hah
It's Velon, whose transponders are mounted on the bikes and all they do is taking the values from riders' power meters (which are very accurate).

Of course if they show the power values on the screen they're like 5s average values, but in case of such steady efforts like today's it's ok and should be useful.

So you doubt in power meters, velon transpoders, or actually both devices? And what reasons you have for that?

They might have discovered an issue beforehand...

 

[Samamba]

So Tissot timing isnt working how it should be I guess?

 

[gregrowlerson]

What's with all the winking?

I thought that was meant to go on during the lead up to the pregnancy, rather then to the lead up to the birth.

I don't know what Velon is. All I know as that these Watt-numbers, speed, cadence etc. usually are way off. Though you do have a good point that in steady efforts, they might be much more useful as an average meassurement.

Wink wink, nudge nudge, say no more!

Kragh is flying.

 

[RedheadDane]

New best time.

Neither do you, but clearly I was right he was going fast

 

[broppo]

amazing time by soren kragh, he has got this in the bag!

 

[Broccolidwarf]

They might have discovered an issue beforehand...

It may be twins.....

 

[Hugo Koblet]

I was never questioning whether he was going fast or not, I was just questioning the accuracy of the watt-numbers

Your wife...... is she a goer? - Is she? - Know-what-I-mean? - Wooooah - woooah!
