The Yates brothers' synchronised climbing out of the saddle today was pretty cool. Both same gear, same tempo, same everything.

The Volta is getting good right now. There's a Grupo Yates which was 100% Yates by volume for a couple of minutes. Adam (?) is currently in the virtual lead

I got to see Nairo Quintana in person today. He was three feet from me and was like “excuse me” as he squeezed through a throng of Colombian fans to get onto the bus.

He's at Corendon Circus until the end of 2020, so just have to hope he gets invited to the big races.

There was some great twitter chat about those two yesterday. There was a similar earthquake when they first moved up to the Elites and mixed it up with Sven and the older guys.

cross crew are loving it.

Gonna be fun watching VDP race Nino later this year at the XC World Cups.

And if you haven’t seen his win at the GP a week or so back it’s great. He literally just rides away from the peloton solo and wins. Forget how many KMs it was over but it was great.

Neat; I didn't know bar-ends were developed that far back, but I guess they're pretty similar to DT shifters.
