If he shows up to the TDF on a rim brake bike and is suddenly hanging in the mountains if I was the other teams I would demand his bike be completeley torn apart by a nuetral mechanic.

Sounds complicated indeed! Are there any false alarms? My other half is always worried about me when I am out on the bike, so at some point I started her sending my Wahoo tracking link before going out. But at some point the signal always seems to get lost and to her that just looks like I stopped riding and she's even more worried...kind of defeats the purpose...

I use Glympse and send the trace to my wife. gives here peace of mind with 2 small kids around - works well but no alarm function. RoadID worked also fine - which had a alarm function...
The sensor manufacturer her dad uses has the online service were you can setup alarm limits (Low-low, low, high, high-high alarms) and who to contact/SMS/send alarm to if your glucose levels are out. its a safety thing, but he forgets to turn them off when out on the bike. it is not unusual that he will be anywhere between 3,5 and 15 mmol/L on a normal ride (not the same ride though).low is far worse as safety margin are very narrow. But i have had 8 hour rides with him were he fights around 4 - 4.5mmol/l constantly (and always just around to drop below 4), no matter how much he eats (he does not have a insulin pump mind you) and had long rides with him were he is around 12-14 mmol/L all day long. some days are just crazy.

motor work just with rim brake wheels?
wtf M.A.Lopez beat Froome´s time on Ventoux last week with disc brake wheels
Froome never climber Ventoux in a one day race but at the Tour only --> more of an all-out effort for Superman when there is no stage on the next day ?

Gonna say it again, Ventoux is a tricky one, the conditions at the top can make or brake your climb, comparing times without the weather conditions is straight up pointless.
This has been discussed already, I don’t get why you have to bring it up again.

I climbing Ventoux in just over 1h15m in 2006, when I was younger and faster. I am quite proud of this as it is VAM of around 1300m/hr. However I have to admit I had a tailwind from Chalet Reynard and that made a big help.
My time is still about 20 mins slower that the pros and probably about the speed the auto-bus will crawl up to stay within the time cut!

On the FB of Deceininck-Quickstep some pictures of pre-tour training.
I believe it is Asgreen riding an Aethos bike.
On the Ineos website, there is a movie on Carapaz who is training ahead of the Tour in his home-country on the new Pinarello F(X)

That was a good video of Carapaz & how beautiful Ecuador is
But he also needs/has a police escort on his training rides to protect him from cars/trucks & ?
But yes beautiful area & elevations
Two sets, Vittoria tub's using campag Red pads and Giant slr 1's, their own pads.iheartbianchi wrote: ↑Thu May 27, 2021 5:48 amWhat wheels? I refuse to ride in the rain on my Fulcrum carbons, but my Ac3 Bora Ultras are OK. But I still prefer alumium wheels if I need to be going downhill in the rain - not that I do much braking generally.
