    Watching the peloton - Professional Road Racing thread 2026

    I have not watched the final stage, but I've seen the reporting. They typical Stage 21 is some riders going out on the break, the yellow sipping champagne while cruising along the dead flat countryside, the break getting caught and dispatched by the sprint teams, and the final 3-4 circuits along...

    I did not watch the entire replay, so I missed the incredible effort by Mads. He gets dropped on the Col de Fer, chases back to the main group, attacks the main group and escapes, catches the break, then wins the sprint for the points. I mean, that's crazy. It makes me believe that the days of...

    I worked a race all day and finally caught up with the queen stage. Carapaz, so impressive. He is a beast in the mountains. Great finish to your career. Sepp, damn. It was the story of Visma all Tour. You had it in the bag. Awful. Remco. You have worked so hard to be a climber and man, did it...

    Strip new chain grease before lubing with Rock N Roll Gold?

    Also, with analog. Rider weight, riding or racing style, road conditions, so many factors.

    Strip new chain grease before lubing with Rock N Roll Gold?

    historical. Remember, I currently ride a low power 300W max e-bike, where most of the time, I'm riding with 90W max assist.

    Strip new chain grease before lubing with Rock N Roll Gold?

    I ride the factory chain grease until it starts to get noisy. That can be around 100 miles. Then I wipe it down with Finish Line citrus degreaser on a rag, followed by a dry rag, followed by R&R Gold, followed by a dry rag. Repeat once the chain gets dirty or noisy. In the pit at today;s race...

    Another new TQ motor: hpr40

    Can I run it on my phone in my jersey pocket? Can I start it at the beginning of the ride and stop it at the end, with no intervention during the ride, no matter how many stops and starts I make? If so, I'll be happy to test it out for you. I can bring a power block if it's a battery eater. Can...

    2026 - Our Rides in Words, Photos, Maps and Videos

    @RabH , 8 hours in the saddle is remarkable. How many batteries were you carrying and how many did you use? @Chargeride , just looking at those photos gives me the heebie jeebies. Outstanding riding.

    Carapaz is known for late stage attacks in big races, so I was not surprised when he threw his double attack down for the win. This is great for Carapaz and EF. Teams can stay wherever they want to, but there is no real need to change hotels, just isolate them in their own room. Most riders...

    They do when he's in the break or going off solo. He does not finish well in groups.

    What an outstanding win for Jasper Phillipsen and Alpecin today. That team has been all out for him the whole race, but he hasn't delivered until today. MVDP's leadout was perfect. The pace was insane, around 30mph average, even with four categorized climbs. I guess I am going to have to get...

    People for Bikes: Progress on Ebike Laws in the US

    WA seems to have e-bike laws almost right. I'm not a fan of a 750W limit, and there's no mention of any other e-mobility devices. Still, it's a lot better than NJ.
