If I understand you correctly- Your inner leg, leaning in to the corner, should be raised, with no danger of pedal strike, outside leg and foot down. It will happen automatically after a while on bends. You shouldn't try to pedal through tight corners.

Glorious. Short steep climb in the back streets of Rouen. Those twisty city roads. Brilliant sunshine. Enormous crowds and Pog ripping the race apart as he does and that swooping descent, Remco attacking almost overshooting, cat and mouse and Van Der Poel looming (green jersey ambition now...

Great finish - brilliant steep town climb and swooping descent with huge crowds. Tour at its best. More sifting of GC pretenders. Lot of hopes dashed there. But what an elite group on that descent. Love it.

Yellow skin suit and a carrot on a rod tied to handlebars and you'll get up ANY hill.

Ah thanks. Classic crash ridden early TDF stage there. Haven't seen who was caught up. Remco holding shoulder.

Very nasty that. Wasn't sure he was out, last pics I saw showed him getting treatment on the verge but couldn't tell if he'd be able to limp to the line or if he had a collarbone or something.

Ouch.

yeah this year seems to be less suicidal breakaways by small teams for sponsor TV coverage then in the past.

Van Der Poel must have heard your question Jeremy! What a great last 10Ks. Excellent.

I'm watching without commentary so was trying to figure out his rant too! Rex does look useful, good record in one days, hadn't heard of him to be honest. I punctured a lung as a junior, can remember the pain and difficulty breathing and oxygen masks in hospital. I crashed into a parked van on...

Jeremy here's a link to Pro Cycling Stats (PCS) if you don't know it already, its very helpful in listing the full results for every pro race and stage and for seeing the nationalities and teams. You can also click on any rider and look up their stats; age, team history, nationality, previous...

I agree with you that Jonas looks dangerous already. Going to be such a battle! It's interesting watching Netflix's doc on last years tour simultaneously with this year's one. I wasn't a big fan of the previous years but something clicked for me with the 24 Tour and seeing the behind the...

Snap was just writing that! Jeremy - You mean as a gen classification rider? He would never be one. Too big boned/heavy for the high altitudes. Same with Van Aert. One Day classic riders. That's why Van Der Poel has become Philipsen's lead out man and Van Aert a bodyguard for Jonas, or a...

It's a bit odd that Intermarche have no lead out men of any description in their Tour picks. All one day/gc types, obviously hoping for breakaway stages. But after winning Green last year why they have not got a single Micheal Morkov type dedicated lead out to counter the obvious Van Der...

Well we're off and running for sure- the crosswinds today caused the first sifting of GC chances. Remco, Roglic, Lipowitz caught wrong side of split & down 30 or 40 seconds I think and both Yates bros suffered massive 5 min time loses. You can't get caught sleeping with crosswinds! Great stage...

Currently watching stage 1 live on YouTube courtesy of Channel 4's Welsh language channel; S4C. Very much enjoying the Welsh language commentary! 21 stages of summer enjoyment ahead. Ahhhhhh...

They score very high in repairability. Which is something all motor brands could do a lot more about. Looking at you Shimano. Bafang and Yamaha tend to score highest on being able to repair and for spare parts. Bafang are a massive company and produce a wide array of motors, hub and mid drive...

Why not? Generally reliable and easily repaired. What's the problem?

This one looks to be good value. Review is from ebike tips a sister magazine to Road CC a long standing UK cycling mag so usually fairly accurate with reviews: https://ebiketips.road.cc/content/reviews/urban-e-bike/engwe-mapfour-n1-air-5739 If you look through their reviews you might spot...

Got caught out on an Instagram advert for Keen sandals. Crazy low prices should have smelled a rat but only had second thoughts after I bought 2 pairs. Contacted my bank. Second mistake was I paid by debit card not credit card so they haven't cancelled the order and to get a refund I now have to...
