Punc posted:It happens all the time thou. I never got that, surely you get some money for coming in second, even on a stage in the TdF? This is why the talk by Frank Hoste about striking a deal was so much fun, he was like "yeah i got a 1,000,000 b.francs bonus for winning a stage from my sponsor, I could strike a deal with someone". :-)

Belkin has a new sponsor: Lotto. No not that Lotto, that's the Belgian lottery. It's the Dutch lottery, Lotto.

Sorry for the Armstrong video, but if we're talking descents: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eP_AOrBglNM&t=136s (if the time doesn't work skip to 02:16). I always wonder how it must suck for the motor guys when a biker suddenly decided to go full retard and take high risks, and they still have to catch up and film the dude.

Cycling friends! Sorry for the derail, but I need a bit of help. I've just agreed to buy my brothers used race bike for cheap, and I'm looking for a kit, helmet shoes and and pedals. I'm also 6"4' and 0,1 tons (climbs gonna be FUN!), and wonder what size I should use. I want to find a euskaltel/euskadi kit on the cheap, beecause I don't want to spend a lot of money before I get hooked, but good enough quality I won't get turned off from it.

Spend all your money on decent shorts shoes and a helmet, the rest doesnt really matter that much. Trawl amazon for knockoff chinese versions of the team kit.

Thats basicly what I thought too, I found http://www.cycleapparel.com/index.php, that has free shipping and the kit (and also NHL jerseys), but I'm kinda unsure about the quality on the pants. I think I'll buy the helmet locally, so I can try it on before I buy.

Wear your own, custom printed shirt. Have it sponsored by your local undertaker.

He's fine. He just needs a nap. Pinot really wants the white to be well in his control by the end of today.
