I was referring to the usual anti ebike messages under that GCN video. They pop up every time someone talks positively about e road bikes as if it threatens their very souls. Such ridiculous anger.

I do love that bike! Just have to kill somebody to fund it. I think the point is that even a low power motor like the Endurace Onfly/TQ40 can be used in a number of ways and each rider will settle into it to suit their needs. For me what is exciting is that that bike is far lighter then my...

Bloody sealant.

All over Europe apparently, making a serious push. Good article here: https://ebike-mtb.com/en/aventon-launch-europe/

When he first started commentating he was always tongue-tied, he'd always been shy, guarded, not a great conversationalist, from a tiny farm and kept his thoughts to himself, known in Ireland as the man who "would nod on Radio". But over the years with Eurosport he's loosened up. And actually...

True, true. That's a healthy budget. Sean Kelly said yesterday that Seixas shouldn't ride the Tour this year, too young & he hopes Decathlon has patience. 19 is so young.

Do NSN have deep pockets? Since the paint job over Israel Premier-tech I'm not sure how big their budget is. The other suspect is INEOS. I got my figures wrong, the actual deal with the Danish Tech co (called Netcompany - what a boring name!) is for €100m over 5 years, giving them a total €50m...

Do you mean the length of valve? For deep set carbon rims, usually on road bikes.

Both links are not working, US only I'm guessing. But I was also thinking that today, if Jonas is looking good and Pog is... well Pog as brilliant as ever, then all the new boys will have something to prove and find it v tough. It does mean TdF could be fascinating. The only bad news long term...

Atlantic storm passing over South West England right now and battered Ireland this morning, I'm sure France will be in line for some as well by tomorrow.

I'd also like to callout the complete lack of response to my Dick Van Dyke (Van Dijke!) twin sons comment yesterday! Classic Dad joke yet tumbleweed. You lot are worse than my eye rolling kids.

Good ending to the TA stage. Healy up to 5th on GC with a bumpy route tomorrow that would suit him.

Following on from less then perfect team tactics with Remco at UAE, Bora are not looking like a well organised outfit. They have a good budget and good riders so better get the DS situ sorted before bigger races. Just saw last 6km of Stage 5. Yep somebody's looking very fit and hungry. Good to...

Here's an another good breakdown of stage. Lots and lots of odd team decisions! What the f were INEOS doing? V's on bike fashion show was hilarious. So far this year Pidcocks battle with rain jackets has been entertaining but Vinegaard just upped the stakes! He's looking good though.

I want a mad max movie but with e-bikes- by day lounging in the desert as the solar panels charge the batteries, by night raiding the car peoples encampments.

Now that's the Paris Nice we all know and love; tough wet and brrrr- cold! Also who the hell are the Van Dijke brothers?!! Dick's sons? 😂 And why was Vinegaard wearing his bibs like dungarees?

This Spring, Aventon are launching throughout Europe in a major step. Brave move. The bikes look great though and if they can keep the low prices, could be interesting.

So the Tirreno-A has Magnus Sheffield as GC, I presume and with Arensmann as back up. He's 23, Onley also 23 and Vauquelin 24. Interesting. INEOS just announced a second £20M sponsor (to add to total energies £20M) Total Energies will take prominence on the strip end of season when they finish...

With Onley 4th and Kevin Vauqelin 3rd, looks like the first test for INEOS in rider expectations management is coming up. 4th & 7th 2025 TdF. Surprised both are in PN, thought they might have built 2 teams around them with one at TA. Has Vauqelin accepted mountain Dom status in the team? Be...
