Had to be expected surely. I mean, it's basically a wearable fairing

I haven’t reviewed the exhibit

Here you go

Thank you. That looks like the cassette has come off with the whole free hub assembly and the small black piece to the mechanics left is likely the end cap. Shambles. CAV DESERVES BETTER

you misspelt Sir Our Cav

I just received my refund from GCN+ bought through the Apple app store. Says the cancellation date is today, not sure if the refund corresponds to that or the shutoff day.

I’m not knighting him until he delivers the record

It's Qav this season, anyway.

He did throw the new wheel down on the ground, cassette-side down, whilst he removed the old wheel, which probably didn’t help

How come?

Just seen the footage. He recovered remarkably well imo. Not fired. Verbal warning.

Hopefully, they'll just give him a spare bike next time.

Whats worth watching today then ?

Both races yesterday had a good finish

Haven't seen any of Paris- Nice this year but seems from the results Bernal is getting some form back, or have they not hit any big hills yet and I'm reading too much into it?

Nope, he's been up there on all the GC days so far, but the real test comes tomorrow, with a mountain top finish.

It'll be interesting to see how he does. Be good if he can get back to his best again

Kicking off in paris nice

It's not Evenepoel's fault (at least according to himself and the Flemish pro cycling journo's/typewriting fans) he did not win Paris-Nice. No. Earlier last week it was UAE's team tactics letting him down, then it was Roglic' fault. Poor Remco.

He literally said it was his own fault and he made a mistake

"Matteo is zeker een verdiende winnaar. Wij waren met 2 de sterkste mannen in koers deze week. Vrijdag maakte hij de juiste keuze en ik de verkeerde. Dus niets op aan te merken."

I stand corrected, in that case, the man himself (now) sees it clearer than the journos.

It's just a clickbaity title. They are correct in their assessment that Remco was looking too much at a weak Roglic so Roglic "messed it up a bit" for him. They also say in the same conversation Remco missed his chance on Friday (by not following Jorg). So general feel is a "ah dammit, he probably could have followed Jorg and win the overall but alas" and I think that is a fair conclusion.

It wasn't just the title, they concluded that "Roglic spoiled it for Evenepoel because he kept an eye on him and allowed others to ride away" and "we cannot say Jorgensen was better than Remco". Earlier in the race it was UAE's tactics that got the blame from Remco himself. Then again, maybe it's me, reading too much into these things. I'll quit banging on about it here.

AG2R have got a new jersey already... decathlon changed their logo so they've redesigned the whole thing. Not terrible but not good.

This happens to me whenever I drop my Hope gravel wheels. There's not a huge amount of grip provided by the end caps and when you're running a fucking massive MTB cassette like I am, there's a lot of weight (hippyisfat) to hold back.

What I am saying is
