Did you see how Plapp screwed up the Nationals a week ago? He powered up to a teammate (Durbridge) dragging a rival, (Patrick Eddy, Team Brennan) convinced he could shake him off on the final hill to the line with his power. Ended up catching and then dropping Luke Durbridge, but couldn't drop...

...I want to know how much Visma or Jayco paid the kangaroo...

His status, haven't checked, cause was probably crosswind-wheel touch or hit kerb and down at speed. Ugly and those fast ones on the flat can be the worst. Funniest thing today was Jay Vine getting taken out by a Kangaroo! He's fine (Vine I mean, no word on the kangaroo). Just so Aussie.

yes I was careful not to give the stage winner!

Well that didn't take long, first big casualty of 2026 Jonathan Narvaez out with 'several fractured thoracic vertebrae' after high speed crash on flat seafront road in high crosswinds. Ouch. Temps hitting 44c along with high winds so stage shortened as well. That's big blow for UAE and Narvaez...

I just actually watched it, mesmerising. 80 years making pedals. At the end you can see the Gamma pedals being packaged. Do them in black too.

So the bloody algorithms have definitely been eavesdropping on here as when I turned on YouTube this was the first video that popped up: I guess my search engine is talking to YouTube after I searched MKS pedals, I mean this YouTube clip does look interesting but man it pisses me off, like...

I think during and before Covid, ebikes were seen as the business to be in $$$$$ so everyone got into ebikes. Makes business sense. Now after 3 bad years and no signs internationally of the world magically improving that number has slimmed back down. Will we be looking at the same 'big four' in...

Well I looks like it's even more complicated then that! Looking up Wikipedia; yes Austrian not German, I thought KTM was German got that wrong; so Austrian Stefan Peirer took control of KTM in 92 and after Gas Gas got into difficulty in 2015, KTM bought a controlling stake but then: In 2023...

Possibly shows the desperation to survive of companies like Gas Gas that are clearly up against it probably with the original Trials obsessed owners long gone. There is no doubt those Super 73 mock motorbike ebikes are enormously popular. Bikes looking like motorbikes is an age old style/type of...

Yeah that's right, just looked up what is happening these days; Gas Gas still exists, still produces motorbikes but the factory in Spain was shut down and manufacturing shipped back to the main KTM facility in Germany. So similar to Scottish MTB clothing brand Endura, shutting down in Scotland...

Spanish company originally in the 1980s making high end motorbike Trials bikes for competition (motorbike trials competitions, traditional & indoor, are big in Spain) then Enduro & Moto X etc. Then more recently taken over by KTM. I'd seen they'd made some pretty decent looking EMTBs but I...

Curious, I just looked at the MKS (Japan) website, I have a soft spot for these old engineering websites, legendary Nitto handlebars are another Japanese one - "Fashion? Who needs fashion, we're engineers!" some long established Taiwan cycling parts companies have similar looking sites. Anyway...

Very cool, very interesting. I'd seen similar in pics of Bromptons but hadn't realised they were a number of options like this.

Eurosport in Europe traditionally had all cycling rights, the monthly subs which were reasonable, got you all racing including CX year round. Taken over by Warners/Discovery in UK (not sure about Continent because they have a myriad of existing deals with National Broadcasters) they lumped...

You can unscrew them by hand? Is that it? Never seen that. Very interesting!

Not in UK. TNT Discovery and I'm not paying those bastards. But I've already ranted too much on here about them. New Year, deep breath, calmness...

Enjoying the sunshine, the Adelaide crowds on the climbs today and the game of trying to figure out the new jerseys and teams as I get used to them. Great to have racing back even if I'm only catching glimpses on YT highlights. Maybe I need to resurrect that old VPN I don't bother with anymore.

For non pin grippy pedals, the MKS Lambda commuter pedal has long been recognised as very comfortable. Have a pair on one of my bikes for years and they are very good indeed. Rivendell do a slightly snazzier version for the American market as well.
