^ That's last week.

It turns out Van Aert’s wheel folded the same as Laporte’s. Not sure who supplies JV’s wheels but awful PR from PR.

I'm pretty sure they're not too bothered given they're not marketed as "run flats" on ProTour's roughest cobble sector. Do people stop buying a certain model car because they saw one driven head-first into a telephone pole? (I wish they did)

It would make for a great carbon wheel review - take all the air out and ride on cobbles at 30mph. Would any wheel survive? Maybe Lightweights?

You mean these Lightweights?

Oops. What happened?

hippy sat on it.

No, I have no idea. It could've been hit by a car for all I know. But I do know of failed Lightweight wheels so just pointing out that nothing is gonna be bombproof given enough abuse. :)

Nice. Also 2kg, per wheel

Fleche final is so painful to watch.

Bala 2nd
Pog 12th

and Pidcock had the shits

Jules chose Pog’s wheel, which didn’t look bad until it was too late. Sir Pidders looked terrible. Poor lad.

Good interview with Froome over on Cycling Weekly:

Some one here might be interested in my post in the 'Half the Road' thread in the General forum.
