    Of course, I had to step out with Mrs. Stomp for a bit, and missed the finish lap. They neutralized the race to protect the GC riders, but the motors in front of the leaders did not, which kept them away to the finish. The sprint teams are rightly pissed off, but this happens more often that...

    It's a flat 157km stage today, one of the last for the sprinters most likely. The finish is on a circuit ending in Milan, the home of Jonathan Milan. With 66km to go, 4 riders with 2:05, two Polti, one Bardiani, one PostNL.

    Ambient temperature and range

    I started the season riding my HPR50 bike in temps in the low 40's. My rides were short, so range wasn't a factor. However, I noticed that the estimated range remaining was down about 10% for the same ride that I did when it was warm.

    Specialized drop prices in North America for Levo range. Permanent drop due to competitive market.

    The National trail system is catching up with them, as some parks are banning all E-MTB's. They are also not legal for racing in USA Cycling events. Unsanctioned races have been forced to put them in an unlimited class, >750W, because they were crushing everyone else in the race. Sooner or...

    Garmin Varia 515 malfunction

    I would buy a new one for $149 or upgrade to the RearVue 820, send yours in for exchange, and sell the exchanged unit. My RTL510 was working fine before I sold it for $105.00.

    I'm home again tomorrow, working near the tv, so I will try and repeat. The one guy I should have not left out was Tim Rex, who turned himself inside out before Campanaerts took over. He totally smoked himself for the team. Kudos to Piganzoli for recognizing this, cooling him down, and giving...

    Jonas, Gall, Hindley, Piganzoli just off the podium in 4th. Bernal top 10. Elalio fought like hell to stay on the GC podium. Fantastic racing today. Jonas, Elalio, Gall on GC.

    Pellizari now pacing Hindley, 8s back of Gall, who is 44s back. And OF COURSE, the commentators are talking about TADEJ. For crying out loud.

    Break caught. Jonas jumped. Piganzoli and Gall behind. Now it's all about the clock. Piganzoli has a sprint, so he could race for second. Gall flat out and Piganzoli still hanging on. Hindley 35s back, alone. Gall drops Piganzoli.

    Kuss done. Piganzoli on the front followed by Jonas. Gap at 30s. 6.3km to go. Break in sight. It's gonna go boom soon. I'm screaming at the screen to get the car and bikes out of the way. They heard me 😁

    Campanaerts done, Kuss on the front, followed by a third teammate in front of Jonas. Gap at 1:00. Kuss looks like is in peak form. The Maglia Rosa has been dropped. 8km to go. The third teammate is the young Italian Piganzoli. Kuss hammering, Jonas nose breathing.

    Visma is going for the jersey today. 12km out, Campanaerts on the front, Kuss next, Jonas third. The gap is 1:35, so he has a shot at the stage as well.

    The transition

    I don't buy food to "support" a very small section of the economy that is already on public assistance. That "support" comes at a cost to both the consumer and the vendor. Those Tomra machines are not cheap, and require constant maintenance and replacement. I was talking to the manager of a...

    Today is a tough, short, climbing stage with the hardest climb at the finish. A group of mostly non-GC contenders are out front with a few minutes. Two of them could potentially move up a few notches. Narvaez is out there going for the points jersey and just took it. The UAE DS just continues to...

    Mother charged after son hits pedestrian

    We had a couple of kids on Sur-Rons show up at the shop yesterday looking for a Tektro caliper bleed screw. They rode there 2-up on the streets, with the bike having only one brake. Darwin is watching. Yes, we had a bleed screw and sold it to them.

    Clean Custom Conversions

    You could get a Gremlin with a 304 or 360 ci V8. There was a guy in town that had a hopped up 360 version. When he dumped the clutch it popped a wheelie. Ugly, but f.u.n.
