2017 'PRO' cycling discussion.

Can't blame anyone for still wearing the r320's, outstanding shoe and for my feet one of the only shoes to properly do the wider toe box without adding a ton of volume throughout the rest of the shoe. Works great if you like some room for yours toes to spread but you don't actually have a high volume foot overall.

Wish they still made them for us regular folks

[Rondje]

LottoNL always manages to crash somehow. Looked weird, blocking of the front brake or braked to hard?

[bilwit]

is Dennis riding for GC here for BMC?

EDIT: looks like they're going for TJVG again... shame

Miss Vos wearing a new type of Giro, probably Air Attack mkII

I had to get used to the first Air Attack but it worked out fine, up to owning one and repainting it. But this one makes her look like the mushroom from Super Mario. :-/

I think Giro are calling that the Vanquish. It debuted on BMC and Katusha riders at the TdF last month. I expect we'll hear more about it at Eurobike.

[LeDuke]

Vos and Pauline Ferrand-Prevot are both back on form, although perhaps not at their respective all-conquering peak fitness just yet.

Will be interesting to see how they do against the likes of Boels-Dolmans next year.

Yeah the Giro Vanquish was shown off at the end of June prior to the TdF.

What with Pros crashing and not checking their chain when they remount? Sure you have just crashed and are all flustered, but how hard is it?

Take it from me, shit ain't in logical progression when you crash. Especially in a TT.

Cut them some slack.

[petal666]

But it happens ALL the time. These guys have crashed before. maybe 5% of the time they check. 90% off the time they hero on and then get straight back off again.

[Multebear]

Didn't QS win the TTT world champs last year? Didn't they get a rainbow striped jersey? And if so, why didn't they wear it in the vuelta TTT?

[glam2deaf]

I thought the TTT WC was more of just a sticker you get to put on your team bus? Rather than an actual jersey.

[Rondje]

You don't get a rainbow jersey in the world's TTT and aren't alloud to show it in any way. You get a medal and that's all.

[ave]

There are not rainbow jerseys for the TTT.
It would look stupid, if 3 of them wear the jersey, while others, who did not race last year in the w/c, ride in team kit.
It would also look stupid if a new, 2017 signings would get a jersey, while he was perhaps racing in another team, which got 9th last year in the team TT w/c.

The current individual TT world champion can wear his rainbow jersey in a TTT, but Tony Martin is not racing the Vuelta.
