Frosty

Was curious to see what the (serious) answer was... The time of 2:59:21 is a shortish stage in today's racing. 1903 was the biggest margin; have a look at last place... 60 hours behind. And it was only a 6 stage Tour... the last being 18 hours long.

.

Women's race was a little less predictable... FDJ get their 4th race win (excl. national champs) for 2024.

Into the top 15, today, and could be top 10 by year/season end.

Echoing some comments on being unsure of “investing” in a gravel bike, I bought a friend’s bike, for a bargain (last year). Give it’s an alu frame, has cable to disk brakes, and as heavy as 🤐, it serves its purpose. The TCX2 is a cross frame, and not gravel, so I’m guessing it’s not the ideal setup, but memories have been created while riding it.

Perfect conditions to ride today… cloudless, wind-free and mild temperatures.

If done in the doctor’s room, the medical aid would most likely cover it. Obviously it depends on the cover, but mine is covered for someone on a plan that is network-specific. The doc putting me to sleep might not be covered fully. I need to ask.

My colonoscopy is booked for the end of the month; prevention measure, not problematic. Can’t say I’m looking forward to having something inserted into the exhaust port. 😊

Quality comparable to ‘Dale

indieVelo syncs with 3rd party training apps, eg. Intervals.icu workout of the day, whereas Zwift only does TrainingPeak (as far as I know).

“To be honest, I was just busy with my sprint. I just thought: to the finish, to the finish, to the finish… I saw that she started cheering, but it was not yet clear whether I would go over it. So I had to wait first. I felt I had a little more speed, but I wasn't sure if it was enough. The fact that I am now winning here is very nice. But I also have mixed feelings here. Actually a triple feeling, with the accident on the road, the restart and of course I can also relate to Lorena. It also needs to sink in for a while. We are at the start with the idea of racing at full speed. Then all kinds of things happen and then you stand here as the winner. This gave us a short and intense race. We were immediately released from the restart. So 150 calm ladies suddenly became crazy bulls.” said Marianne Vos, Team Visma | Lease a Bike Sauce: Category Cafe

So he's finally accepted that a 5th Tour win is not going to happen. I'm not a fan of his, doesn't imply I dislike him... I'm just not a fan. He's was good rider when in his prime, and it's good to see he's now accepted that his competition has surpassed his ability. https://web.facebook.com/Cycling360allday/posts/pfbid0fjMafRe9koiGZpnFxDRGBXwfdvFCo4jKxaBPsktmuYc8urimi5uqJq2h1EZdm4Wvl
