Important lesson learned this weekend: When it is more than 30C i struggle...
2-Day, 4-stage race.

Really like your race reports. Can't make out the club name on the jersey, VC...? I think I'm right in assuming its a UK based club yeh? What cat are you and how often do you race in Europe?

P.s nice wheel upgrade on the car

[JamieL]

The club is VCPBI, and although i'm english i'm living and racing in Pau, France. Before i came down here i was second cat in the UK but i've not done any UK races this year so going to be a third cat when i move home next year

Our local cycling marathon, only 38km, but pretty hard.
With UCI World Cycling Tour champion Igor Kopse.

[Willier]

Why is world champ riding without a bartape?

[majklnajt]

I asked him the same question, but didnt get the answer

[Willier]

Must be the weight thing

[majklnajt]

Hmmm, I`m not sure about that, since his front tub is Conty Giro

[Kjetil]

A bit but anyway:

Maybe he's got some new handlebars, and wanst to dial the fit in before wrapping them. Not uncommon. That Conti tub must be a quick fix. They tend to last one ride...

Left turn into traffic on open roads? Really?

Also, majklnajt - we need to see you smiling, man. Always so serious!

Left turn into traffic on open roads? Really?

That's what I was thinking!

[Calnago]

Me three. Almost said something but decided that boys will be boys . But I'm not even seeing a stop sign for the car. Livin' on the edge I guess.

[majklnajt]

@Kjetil, no he has those handlebars for a long time now. He didnt have anything alse in South Africe so he only had to put the Giro on. Surpisingly it holds well. He says it feels so "plastic".

@ave, my thoughts exactly!!
BTW, he is almost vegan. The only animal stuff he eats are eggs. And a bit of milk in his coffee.

@prendrefeu, dont worry, the traffic was stopped, it just looks scray on that pic

Would this be ok?
I couldnt laugh because it was very hard....

Crap day on the bike.. first TT then mass start later on. Some stomach troubles left me with a bit less energy than desired, but managed to get some great training


Somewhat dissatisfied with being in a slow group behind the peloton..

djm - embrocation on the legs? Or just seriously shiny skin?
