Doesn't get much better than that.

Segaerts had another very impressive ride this season — or maybe late in last season — but don't recall details.

So you had to be able to talk rallying to be allowed in pubs there? I can relate. I was kicked out of North Carolina for inability to talk basketball. ;^}

Question is, why so good a racing platform? Always thought of Escorts as family, not performance cars. But reality is apparently more complicated than that.

What made these Escort models so special?

I think you originally asked for phone holders mounted with a Vado TDU in place. This sounds broader, so here's my Vado SL 1's cockpit with no TDU but a QuadLock out-front holder in place — this when I was still putting my phone on the bars. The QuadLock was quite secure and easy enough to...

Glad to see Narvaez back in winning form after breaking several thoracic vertebrae in a nasty solo crash in the Tour Down Under just 4 months ago! Say what you want about UAE, they're certainly adapting well to having so many top riders out on injuries. A deep bench indeed! I like Eulalio and...

For these bike fans, it's definitely just for fun! Driving north on the San Diego Freeway recently, we came up on this convoy of cars and trucks with unusually colorful bikes on back just south of LA... What the heck's that all about?? A little digging on the web came up with a plausible...

No Giro live or replay coverage on our Sierra road trip is driving me nuts! What's with these sketchy-looking YouTube channels offering live Giro coverage if you join their live chats?

I usually keep cadence under tight control to keep knees and motor happy, but occasionally ride to stay in a certain rider power band like you did, just for kicks. Interesting game to play in the saddle.

Those 87W and 126W power limits are oddly specific numbers. What do they mean? Estimated zone boundaries of some kind?

Thanks for the tip! Next time I go for gas, I'll save up on the way.

Exactly. In fairness, Orla mentioned that during the TNT post-race I mentioned above, but only in passing, and then seemed to dismiss it as much less important than the fact that his TT hadn't lived up to pundit expectations. I know these commentators take some kind of oath against allowing...

Funny, shortly after the TT, when the TNT pundits (Orla, Matt, Robbie, Adam) discussed Gall's performance, they talked about a rider's natural "ebb and flow" through a Grand Tour. But when they got to Jonas, they talked about under-performance for this or that reason. The possibility that he'd...

If your phone camera has mechanical auto-focus or image stabilization mechanisms, you might want to reconsider putting it on your bars. I ruined the telephoto focus on 3 high-end Samsungs before figuring out the cause. My phones now ride safely in my pockets. BB: The QuadLock vibration damper...

Similar road conditions on yesterday's drive from Wawona to Glacier Point — twisty and often steep with no bike lanes or rideable shoulders. With full-size shuttle buses taking up both lanes in the tighter curves as an added bonus. Gorgeous day to ride but saw only 2 cyclists the whole time...

Live coverage on the official Giro YT channel.

Makes my knees hurt just thinking about it. Is 10t likely to be his smallest cog? His largest cog today?

CA state senator Blakespear just announced this upcoming ebike safety webinar. I plan to attend. She's all about protecting legal ebiking and public safety at the same time. I fully support her proposed bill SB1167, which goes after deceptive manufacturers and dealers who sell e-motos and...

Gas pumps should be seen and not heard Our first fill-up after leaving coastal San Diego County came in the Sierra foothills between Fresno and Yosemite. And with it came an unexpected treat — a gas pump with no ads blaring at me while I'm stuck there filling up. Every single pump back home...
