Amazing. If that doesn't get you excited for the classics nothing will. Love seeing a solo win like that.

Basically what Morkov (sorry Danes, blame my phone) is doing on intermediate sprints.

Mørkøv took a picture of me once and posted on twitter /csb

Can anyone explain the Ikea hare and tortoise ad that gets played during the ITV4 highlights ad break?

You looked at the Sunweb team going into this season and scratched your head about where wins were going to come from. Benoot and Mathews are strong but maybe not quite in the top tier of classics riders.

And then they won three tour stages.

They were a key animator at Paris-Nice too, and took, I think, two stage wins there. You've got to respect what they've done with a roster which, as you say, doesn't look like it's going to get you a lot of wins.

What they have as well is a really talented British DS. Matt Winston seems like a level headed guy who is able to identify a race strategy, communicate it to the riders and instil confidence in the riders that the plan will work which of course means they’ll commit to it.

Ned and Chris saying just what a nice guy he was as well. Actually apropos of nothing because they were just talking about Boardman's former teammate Yvon Ledanois who they also said was a great guy.

One wonders how people stopped before disc brakes....

I’m sure Ritchie Porte would be happy to switch...

Alloy rims. Big difference.

Hmm, surely they aren't short of frames though? I'm with (EDIT) @tbc on this...

Make your home nice by going to IKEA.
Stay home more, go out on the lash less.
Get more sleep.
Run marathon for pleasure.
Beat the faster hungover guy.
Be happy.

you could in theory buy any roots manuva album, they're all brilliant

I didn't get andyp's comment on this subject?

The problem was the damage done to crank & power meter, not the frame from what I gathered
• #1669

andyp in reply to @peter_v

That makes two of us.

(EDIT) my mistake- another user asked about what they were trying to hide.

The pro race equivalent of going for that lower gear you don't have.

Acliff in reply to @hippy

It happens when you’ve been dropped out of a club ride too...
• #1673

Acliff in reply to @Brommers

Not for the pros, I wonder when the last time a rider like Sivakov was on alloy rims, or even had to replace an inner tube...

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

Mention another user by @username

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
