Nibali riding 50- 10 ... ?

SRAM AXS. Bloody stupid idea, especially for TTs, but that's SRAM for you.

Is it just me or did Hugh Carthy jump the start?

Is Are Xav ok with all this @ ing?

Ganna looks incredible

58.7km/h.....

I assume he's capable of saying so himself if he isn't. It's possible he doesn't put that much into curating his Following page.

And at the other extreme, here's Bardet.

Not going to lie, my notifications go in a seldom read email account so I often miss stuff on here anyway :D

Domenico Pozzovivo is along with Walscheid the stars of the show from QA, we did an aero session with Pozzo the day after Tirreno finished this year and he has the lowest drag of any world tour male pro by far (forget all the hyperbole about Bisseggers road CdA, his is good but no better than others). Walscheid also had an aero session earlier in the year and we built him some special handlebars which he got last week. More to come for sure, he does a whole ton of watts and has a lot of potential for TT. Victor I’ll need to check his data as something went wrong it looks like!

Oh no , Ethan ... ! Ouch ...

Was abput to say that, ouch! That elbow hit 9nbloody the sidewalk edge looks very painful

So boring.

This was just listening to “fascinating” convo about watts and cda over and over.

It’s not my thing either.

‘kin ‘ell Ethan Hayter .... that was impressive , shame it’s going to be stinging tonight ... but what a ride.

Jeez he hasn't changed. Always loved falling off. Needs to get some advice from Pidcock rather than following Geraint Thomas' racing style

Have you seen Pidcock’s knees?

That will sting in the shower.

What do you teach them on VCL club runs?

And still finished 9th. Nails.

Club runs??? They would be taking up precious CX time.

Hindley and Joao Almeida off to Bora next year according to La Gazetta. Don’t know where that leaves Schachmann, Buchman, Kelderman but you’d be surprised if they all stayed there.

I thought Don Patrick had signed Almeida recently for 3 - 4 more years?

Jowowow Alemeida? Rob Hatch's favourite?

Watching yesterday's highlights on Quest I remembered why I missed pretty much all of last year's Giro, Eurosport commentary is fuckin awful!
Will have to watch with the sound off and find some appropriate music for each stage.

Lefevre announced him leaving in his Nieuwsblad column yesterday apparently.

In other news: Ineos are wearing base layers with trip strips to get around the ban on skinsuits with trip strips.

The tech around TTs is far more interesting than watching the actual race.

Apparently he wants more money and is therefore on his way. That's the quickstep way.
