Again, as often tyre widths come up here, my WTB Byways 44mm are plush and nicely fast rolling and fit under SKS Speedrockers comfortably. Currently swapped out for winter GravelKings SK 43mm as the roads after 2 full months of rain are potholed soup...
Not sure what is available in US. In U.K. TNT/Discovery seem to release last few KMs and if an important race a brief 5 min highlights of the race both on YT. That's all you get for free. Live coverage usually starts halfway through the race if you have a $$$ subscription. And occasionally there...
He is hard to catch with that rapid fire. But sometimes I like to hear his 'story of the race, beat by beat' where I've only caught highlights. Good for spotting key moments and merciless on idiot decisions!
Yeah... not convinced about that.
Pretty sure if man o' the people Nige and his populist mates get in, the borders might suddenly look very vague in both Ireland and Scotland!
Start of the Spring Classics! Today is the day the real season starts. Best time of the year.
Interesting one to watch, the commentators said that by winning Omloop MVDP has unleashed the curse- no rider has ever won Omloop and Tour of Flanders (The most prestigious Spring Classic, certainly...
Loving that Van Rysel bike of Seixas as well. And kinda glad he's riding for a French team. Though like English football not winning World Cup since '66 and the UK media scrutiny is murderous, Seixas will have huge French media attention on him too.
19. He's only 19! Flamin' hell.
All those cx races has MVDP in top condition- he's looking so mean on the bike, the way he avoided that fella's head on that cobbled wet climb, unreal.
Great pics, love the finished bike - don't hate the colour combos and those are great grips & great story all told. Well done!
Also good to see another eBay hound hard at work! Currently waiting for Goretex Five Ten Trailcross GTX shoes - 50 quid, £160 new!
So time to forget about oil rich desert races with no spectators, kangaroos and winter sun on the Iberian peninsula- real gritty racing starts this weekend - Omloop Niewsblad on Saturday, then Kuurne Brussels Kuurne next weds and with the arrival of March- Classics Season is here!
