I know I post this a lot but that descent doesn't look very safe. There's like 10 meters of visibility. Hope Nibali has a go.

Here's a pic for posterity https://twitter.com/TeamCOFIDIS/status/905426845956526080 Nibali does seem to have gone on the offensive... Possibly. Not like you can really tell. e: I just remembered that Zakarin is also in that descent lmao. Stay safe gangly bike handling ghost

Froome will probably be 34-34 just so he can spin spin spin. Although I'm not sure you can spin at 30% no matter the gearing.

Skarsnik posted:https://twitter.com/ShimanoROAD/status/905365373029056512 Do teams have a deal good enough with Shimano that they can get mid-cages for free? There's no way they only stock mid-cages for most races, right? Gotta have the short for optimal shifting? serious gaylord posted:Froome will probably be 34-34 just so he can spin spin spin. 34x32 at 60rpm is 5mph. 34x34 at 80rpm is 6.3mph. 6.3mph up a 30% grade is 0.81m/s (vertical ascent), which works out to 555W for a 155lb rider + bike assembly, 8.72W/kg assuming the rider is 140lbs. 440W or 7.78 W/kg for the former gearing.

Sorry for the lovely tabloid link, but someone parked their car on a tight corner on the Tour of Britain http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/other-sports/cycling/tour-britain-cyclist-lucky-alive-11122694

The TOB has a rolling road block or it would cause too much issue with locals and this was a disabled persons car. They couldn't get back to it in time to move it before the riders were there. The organisers didnt put enough marshals on the corner to warn people it was going to be there. and thats what happens.

It has been pretty dull from what I've watched The finish is a 2 minute walk from work, so I should be able to pop out and see the sprint
