They used to sponsor Lampre. You've heard of Avanti but not Wilier? Let me guess... Australia.

There are heaps of Wilier bikes in Australia

Surely "don't stop in the road" has to be one of the first things they teach you in moto driver university

I had to stop a (doomed) break at race yesterday to lift a bike off the the official who had stopped in the middle of the road then fell over from a standstill :shrug:

Am I reading this right? Fuglsang won the GC by 10 seconds, and the time bonus for 1st place is 10 seconds?

I don't think the provisional times on the screen had the time bonus included. So it should be 20 seconds

106km to go: “According to the ITV4 commentary, the Burghardt/labrador incident in 2007 led to a change in the wheel strength regulations, requiring them to be much stronger,” writes Matthew Cobb. “Future dog/wheel encounters might not have such an anodyne outcome, as the energy would tend to go into the dog, not into distorting the wheel.”

I dunno... it's been pointed out the Cannondale TT bike is miles (possibly literally) behind the others in terms of aero performance and even JV has said they can't afford a proper investment in sports science, aka aero testing. No one on Cannondale seems to be able to put together a decent TT in the last couple of years. I'm not optimistic for Rigo.

It's also ugly as hell

34x32 at 60rpm is 5mph. 34x34 at 80rpm is 6.3mph.
6.3mph up a 30% grade is 0.81m/s (vertical ascent), which works out to 555W for a 155lb rider + bike assembly, 8.72W/kg assuming the rider is 140lbs.
440W or 7.78 W/kg for the former gearing.
