If Alaphilippe tries to get in a breakaway surely the GC teams will try to chase him down? Could become interesting

Interesting post about a new air restistance study
>Belgian professor Bert Blocken from universities Leuven (Belgium) and Eindhoven (Netherlands) has done more research regarding the advantage of drafting behind motorcycles. It turns out the advantage is much bigger than expected. In perfect conditions at an average speed of 54km/u, even at 30 meters (!) still an advantage of up to 2.6 seconds per kilometer is gained! Due to 12% less resistance.
>At 50 meters behind a motorcycle, the advantage is still up to 7% less resistance.
>He also compared descending/downhill positions on the bike (Alaphilippe vs Froome). Ewan's sprinting position. The fact that a car/bike riding BEHIND a rider also has a positive influence on air resistance for the rider (the car effectively pushes air forward, and creates a "bubble" wich also protects the rider). And that a car/bike riding NEXT to the rider impacts the aerodynamics in a negative way (i guess unless the wind is coming from that direction).
>Apparently, ASO has briefed the motorbikes (/pilots) in light of this research, to keep their distance. Other organisations have asked UCI for years, to do this research, but UCI never committed.

Wtf is the point of lining up on the side of the road to barely see a blurry cyclist fly by at 50km/h? I don't really understand what the attraction of going to out to watch the Tour in person is. It's great on TV, but we always see random folks just lining the road as the peloton blows by. You can barely make out the face of a rider before they're gone. You likely see a total of 0 action and see the cyclists for a total of 3 seconds.

What's the point?

I just got to watch a race in my city. It was a cute lil circuit on cobbles. It was great because I got to see constant action and the riders all the damn time since it was very short laps that took ~1-1.5mins

Have done it before, won't do it again.
Even light rain is bad, cause the bike will get dirty from the dirt of the street.
I don't want to clean it. I have no garden and no garden hose in which case I can use the high pressure water jet to get everything clean.

Bucket of lukewarm water and a brush will do the trick just fine. Might want a smaller and a big brush, but other than that it should be fine.

>I have no garden and no garden hose in which case I can use the high pressure water jet to get everything clean.

the key to cycling in the rain is cleaning all the dirt out of the area around the bottom bracket. as this user said, best with a high pressure water jet.

>car/bike riding BEHIND a rider also has a positive influence on air resistance for the rider (the car effectively pushes air forward

don't. never clean your bike with high pressure. a sponge is enough, you don't need garden at all.

stop with this lame excuses, you need to ride.

A few weeks ago I was caught in a heavy storm, with hail and strong winds.
Found shelter in some barney, but had to cycle home afterwards any ways, the street were all a mess and thus my bike as well, which was wet and all the dirt easily sticked to it.

Had to use a brush as well, to get the dirt out of the groupsets. Was really annoying and time consuming, because even with a brush it's hard to reach many tight spots.

100%
If you going into a headwind on a busy road it is still easy to go 30kph. Then on the way back 40kph with tailwind. Everyone on strava thinks you are amazing but really it was much easier than the hilly 28kph ride that nobody is impressed by.

>not spending the rest of your day screencapping and posting each individual page for us

>Images from motorcycle and helicopter cameras are transmitted via VHF links to relay helicopters flying at ~600 meters altitude. The signal is then retransmit them to aircraft flying at 3000-8000 meters (dependant on weather). These aircraft (some are unpressurised) need to circle very slowly therefore the turbulence can be highly uncomfortable for the pilots and technicians. If the weather turns bad then the use of the aircraft flying above the clouds becomes integral to the broadcast. In this case the GPS system on each bike becomes very important so that the aircraft can actually locate the motorbikes from 25,000 feet in the air. Once the signal is sent to the helicopters and aircraft they are then relayed onto intermediate points sitting along the course (trucks which relay the signal onwards). In a typical stage there are two intermediate points. If it’s a very complex course with difficult terrain, there are sometimes three. These intermediate points are needed because stages can be as long as 225kms and the video signals need to be relayed from start to finish. The first intermediate points receives the signal and send it up to satellite. The second intermediate point forwards the signal to the town where the finish line is located via 4 receivers mounted on a crane 50 meters high. The eight camera signals are then decoded at Euro Media France’s OB truck (outside broadcast truck) which then performs some signal processing and minor colour correction to then send onto the France Television’s production truck sitting next door.

The latest generation bottles fit to cages well. They're also much easier to clean than the older ones. The previous generation didn't fit on most cages and was a bitch to clean. The generation before that, that was still available as Rapha branded version until last year had a good shape but was just as awful to clean.

For me, its Terpstra

Typical Britshit. You must be lonely.

You won't be able to get any proper employment if you don't speak Dutch.

Even if you're highly educated you'll have low odds of developing into leadership/executive roles, it's just how Dutch society works.

What am I looking at?

But have you tried to learn some Dutch and something about the local culture?

Look at these two scum-sucking cucks.

I don't reckon knowledge of the local language being requisite for better employment is a particularly dutch thing mate

of course not
This is why the randstad sucks, too many expats and tourists.

Germans can easily pick up the dialect in Maastricht. It sounds funny but i can understand it perfectly. And i don't speak German.

You're not allowed to push your team mates.

Or do you? Have you tried?

Sure, but why would Ineos push Ciccone, from an enemy team?

Can you push your opponents though? :^)

MARGINAL GAINS

But he's not his team mate.

Honestly, you should be allowed to do that. It's not like you are getting pushed by a car, you are getting pushed by the human force of your team mate. It's literally teamwork.
