Not all of us.

I guess you've never been to the Bronx.

Sounds more like having a really bad hangover, then dropping acid.

Luddite.

Not playin'.

They all do that. I use Cyclingflash for the calendar and startlist, and PCS to follow Modern Adventure. PCS has too many ads, at least in the US.

Different sites are reporting different team lineups and different rider priorities. I think the startlist is still in flux. It's a Flo race so no live feed for me.

My guess on why some teams used XTR Di2 rear derailleurs instead of GRX Di2 rear derailleurs is that with the XTR mid-cage version, they can run a 1x 9-45 rear cassette, like I have on my Pinarello, which has close ratio gearing up to the 21T cog. Also, the XTR is clutchless, and manages chain...

The standard gap intervals for moving race vehicles are 30 seconds for a motor commissaire or neutral support motorbike, 1 minute for aneutral support car, and 2 minutes for team cars. Another factor is how many riders are up the road and how many teams are represented. More teams = more cars =...
