They also said both Carapaz, Landa and Amador were the leaders before the giro started. They just run with whatever the circumstances go.

It doesn't matter. They will just protect Nairo and Landa and let the legs speak when they hit the climbing stages.
Carapaz being so strong has only benefited Landa in this race.

he's to light to be a terroni

I would prefer to die instead of living in that dead burnt desert. Sorry user.

In 1982 a Canadian named Lovell used a double-chain set up in the track World Championships to ride the Kilo.

One chain had a freewheel with relatively low gearing and the fixed gear was much taller. The idea was that he'd be able to get up to speed more quickly.

The UCI did not ban it. It just didn't work that well.

Attached: JocelynLovell.jpg (1600x1581, 330K)

Someone should punish the top GC guys, for thinking that it all depends on tomorrow, please someone launch an attack today already.

Cont'd.

Jocelyn's bike had a freewheel sprocket on the normal right hand side and a fixed sprocket on the left hand side. As he moved away from the line he drove through the RH sprocket and the left hand fixed sprocket began to unscrew from the hub. It being of smaller diameter it turned at a slower rate than the RH sprocket and being on the "wrong side" of the hub it would naturally unscrew. After about seventy metres the LH fixed sprocket came up against the lockring and at that point drive was through the LH side and the RH sprocket freewheeled. The distance traveled before the higher gear engaged could be adjusted by setting the position of the lockring. The bigger the space between lockring and sprocket at the start the longer the distance before the higher gear engaged.
Jocelyn experimented for some considerable time to come up with a combination of sprockets and chainrings that would not only give two suitable ratios but that would need chain lengths that would be at the correct tension. He settled on a low gear of 42x13 (87.2") and a high gear of 53x15 (95.4")

I'm from North Carolina, and in all honesty, California's climate really depresses me. It's hyper-green and lush 3/4 of the year where I grew up, and it really sucks here, by comparison.

I like deserts for visiting.

It's the Dolomiti. It does not matter where you point the camera, it will be drop dead gorgeous.

The entire region is on the UNESCO world heritage for a reason.

Of course not
They are all outside watching the race

those are original 2 times baked cantuccini

Shit, I didn't expect an intelligent answer to my joke post. Thanks for that interesting answer.

Who is a cycling veteran and experienced knee problems? What was your solution to heal up and prevent further knee problems?

slurping semen and leaving bavaria

Leg amputation

I had knee problems for a while. The problem was one of mashing and poor cleat positioning.

I ended up taking a season off to focus entirely on improving my spin. I also got my pedals and cleats set up properly.

No more knee problems and I ended up being faster in the bargain.

These are a very specific kind of biscotto, "cantucci". Nice with vin santo.

For me, it's the chocolate flavored cantucci

inject EPO directly into your knee

Rest your knees and do heavy strength training for other body parts (back, arms etc) for hormonal gains. Also eat clean and enough calories while healing (recommend eggs for the saturated fat and protein). Do quad and hamstring stretches, but don't strain too much.
Not an expert, but this has helped me with this problem before at least.

Phlogavet Salbe ist eigentlich für Haus und Nutztiere

Stop trying to mash. Work on improving your overall cadence.

See a physical therapist at worst, but the most common knee injuries you can solve by getting a foam roller and looking up common cycling knee pain stretches on the internet.

I'd suggest a professional bike fit, yes it's expensive but it is a drop in the bucket if it gets you back to riding quickly

>he doesn't know how even the earliest cyclists were high on amphetamines
The only difference is that you could get the good shit over the counter from a pharmacy back then. Also cycling is unironically cleaner than ever before and one of the cleanest sports thanks to Lance.

Brutal

Can /ourguy/ still do it?

Yes but it won't be easy. Expect Nibali to give it a go tomorrow.

Yes, under normal circumstances (no bike issues and accidents).
I don't expect Nibali being able to pull a gap to Carapaz at all. Maybe an early surprise all in attack, but Movistar has such a strong line up in the Giro, that they surely will at least close back the gap back to 30 seconds.
I don't even think that the last TT will be good for either Nibali or Roglic with almost all their energy depleted from 3 weeks.

Not everyone runs on asthma medicine like Froome and team Sky in general.
