/cyc/ /TdF/ stage 11 Toulouse - Bagnères-de-Bigorre

The Pyrenees are here!!! Yeah, the 30km after the top of Hourquette d'Ancizan don't seem very inviting for GC guys to try anything. We will probably see a breakaway that will battle for the win, Team INEOS holds a steady pace and nothing will happen. However, in the next post I will show you a picture of what happened last time on this climb!!!

>The Col de Peyresourde is a mountain highway, a steady climb on a wide road that saps energy rather than shreds the race. It’s followed by a fast descent and then a short section along the valley before flicking left for the Hourquette d’Ancizan, listed as 7.5% for 9.9km but the whole climb is more like 8% and has a steeper start: it’s hard. There’s a fast descent on a narrow road with bumps that make taking a sip of water risky during the long straight sections but also some uphill sections, it’s 4km downhill from the pass and then a kilometre uphill at 5-6% before another 4km down and another uphill section but with a gentler gradient on the more regular descent of the Col d’Aspin. Then the descent reaches the familiar valley road from Campan to Bagnères-de-Bigorre

Just keep the closest rivals at check and don't let break away get too far ahead.

Because Plank of the Pretty Girls is the kind of mountain Kruijswijk is bad at, a climb with lots of tempochanges is not suited for him + like I said, he's usually better on the climbs later in the race. He was expected to lose time there by anyone who actually follows the sport. And honestly, he kept it to a small amount of timeloss.

Anyone who isn't seriously considering Kruijswijk a threat is trolling desu. I know INEOS are looking mainly at him, they said as much.

The ABSOLUTE madman

You now remember 2009
>Contador is commenting TDF in the Spanish Eurosport and he talked a little bit about that episode of his life.
He mentioned how he only trusted 4 of his teammates, one of them being his mechanic, his manager (who happens to be his brother), the physiotherapist and his press manager.
He talked about his physiotherapist sleeping each night with his bike in his hotel room for fear of sabotage and how he bought a pair of aero wheels for the Monaco TT with his own money because the team refused to spend the money in that specific model Contador wanted. He also said that "everything that the press said about their rivalry was an understatement"

Extremely based boomer

Eurosport is showing these commercials for some 100% scam female beauty product named "The Solution" and I have to wonder if they're aware of the kind of people watching the first 50 km of a tdf stage.

Sorry I wasn't sure if you were memeing or not. But yeah the answer is that it's the British cycling colours and he was national champion at the time. Most of the national champion jerseys just have stripes featuring colours associated with that nation, e.g. Australia's in pic related, despite Australia not having green and gold stripes in their flag of course (but they use those colours to represent them in sport).

So it's just an unfortunate coincidence (well, unfortunate for us, I guess) that our national champion's jersey happens to resemble the flag of a different country who happens to feature the same colours on their flag as we do.

They should probably redesign our jersey to be honest because, for example, the Slovakian jersey features the crest from the Slovakian flag to distinguish it from other red/white/blue striped designs. So surely the British one could have the Union Jack if more complex designs than just stripes are allowed. But I doubt they will change it because the British national champion jersey has existed for a long time and has history behind it.

Based. Also can you believe that these Shimano shifters cost me only £9 (with free shipping) while the cheapest equivalent Campag ones I could find are £35 (plus £5 shipping) and most of them go for like £60 - £85? Why does old Campag shit cost so much, especially since in many cases the Shimano stuff is actually better engineered? Is it so old men can jerk off over the fact that they have Campag shit on their bikes? "Ooh Italian cycling, how romantic and special?" Bikes are for RIDING not for putting on your fucking wall and gawking at. Fucking ridiculous.

My frame is from 1982. I'd love to get some brifters so I don't have to deal with this friction bollocks, but again, Campag shit is fucking expensive. I think the cheapest 8-speed (that's what my rear wheel has - yes the wheels are not period-accurate to the frame) Campag brifters I found on eBay were like £45 for the pair, and most of them are much more than that. Also, with Shimano, you have the benefit of other cheap companies like Sunrace (Taiwanese) making parts that are Shimano-compatible. But no one makes Campag-compatible stuff, apart from Miche (Italian), but Miche stuff is much more expensive than Sunrace stuff.

Less than a third of the price of the equivalent Campag part and probably has better build quality too. Why wouldn't I? I only wish my rear wheel had a Shimano hub so I could buy a much cheaper (and much better ranged) replacement cassette, and also I could then use some cheap Shimano-indexed shifters (Campag-indexed shifters for 8-speed are, again, absurdly expensive).

They are actually responsible for the VIP area. They organize meetings and shit. It is hard work, but they get paid a shitload of money.

Didn't Shimano arrive at indexed shifting before Campag and Campag had a failed attempt (synchro or something) before they made it work properly? Also Campag had those shitty and expensive Delta brakes that were very poor. It seems to me that Shimano has been technologically ahead for a number of decades. Do you really think those old Campag shifters will be better than the Shimano ones to such a significant extent that they should be essentially four times as expensive (actually over four times after shipping)? If so, in what way are they better? I reckon the only reason these old Campag parts are expensive is because they're "collectible" and people want them for artistic and sentimental reasons, not because they're functionally better.

>But they will last 100x longer than that cheap slag iron and plastic crap from shimano
I'm inspecting these Shimano ones up close and they look absolutely fine. You seem to be very biased instead of giving an objective assessment. Why is that?

>Believe what you want but that is just not true.
It's just a guess based on Shimano's usually better components these days, and the fact that they were technologically ahead of Campag in the '80s and '90s in many ways.

Just look at the difference in quality. Campag clearly is a better product. With Campag it`s solid, set and forget. Look at the shitmano, you can see over time it will warp, bend and wear out. If you are happy with your purchase that's OK. Just don`t justify your cheapness over quality.

Tried to do my ride today using a watt-based plan from Today's Plan. Felt nearly impossible to maintain a steady power output, but looking at the data now it's not quite as off as it felt. I now have newfound and additional respect for the TT autists who can just maintain X watts for an hour regardless of terrain and wind.

What did they think about Hatuyama Shou's black jersey?

What are the chances that Dennis abandoning is linked to doping or abnormal blood values?

That's the most cringe interview I've ever seen on television.

Nibbles dropping from peloton :(

Hate how the motos pace everybody who is jumping out of the lead group

172,1 km / 37,4 km to go

good question, I'd say anywhere between 0 and 100%

Those were Harads, no?

Hope dies last

possible, but not most likely

nice easy day for G so he can smash it tomorrow

0%, the sport has been clean since Armstrong came out, did you forget?

I hope Yates dies in the descent

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

yea i remember now. thats all there is from them in the movies

Actually, I never asked about that. Next time I see anyone from my LBS I will ask them. I would like to know as well. Oh wait, but Japanese people rarely tell you what they really feel unless it's acceptably supportive and positive, so they will probably just say that they are proud of him for being in the break so often.

>tyre logo centered above the valve

Don't be so sure.

He would have abandoned before the start no ?

Why does he ride with rim brakes lmao.

No, the Haradrim are the people on the giant elephants

Japanese people? Interesting. That's cool.

>I can feel the road cycling popularity growing though. There is a high school in my area that has a road cycling club, some of my students are into road cycling and love watching the grand tours.
That's cool too. Like I say it's a bit surprising that Japan makes the vast majority of the world's bike components and yet Japan is not that interested in cycling. Of course Campagnolo used to be the king of bike components and Italy of course has a rich cycling heritage.

I just remembered that although G crashed in pic related didn't he podium or something despite crashing?

Those days are behind him I believe. I would love for him to prove me wrong though.

According to Thor Hushovd on TV Rohan Dennis might have quit because his TT wheels are 40 watts slower than those of the faster teams and the team wouldn't let him use actually good wheels.

The point being is that Geraint feels in shape, feeling ever so strong.
Is gonna get at least 2 minutes on Quintana, 1 minutes on Kruiswijk, Yates and Pinot.

"We are confused as well. He abandoned the race on his own, tried to persuade him, there was perspective for tomorrow, but he didn't wanna talk. Nothing to do with physical condition. Also on the phone he didn't wanna talk." Regarding equipment: "He wants everything to be 100%, it;s hard to make everything 100%"

wtf is this

We'll see. Excited to see how the GC is standing after tomorrow

>the team wouldn't let him use actually good wheels.
Can someone explain this big brain tactic to me?

Everyone is shit talking about tomorrow.

read: didn't want to spend big money on something that might be 1% better and is only used once

On the off-chance that Hushovd somehow has the inside scoop, it would be based on sponsorship deals with companies making inferior wheels, putting Dennis at a disadvantage.

autism

Kruijswijk will get top 5 tomorrow, Van Aert will win. Remember this post

Quintana is supposed to be good at TT ?

>Wheels being 40watts slower than other wheels

come on now

They want the tour to be boring as possible

Sponsors pay to use their shit.

I dont know how much Thor actually knows but Dennis apparently offered to buy better wheels out of his own pocket and put other stickers on them but they wouldn't let him.

This might be total bullshit but im just reiterating what I heard on TV.

I think Bahrain use Campagnolo (Fulcrum) wheels, which are actually very good in general. I have no idea what he is bitching about desu.

French jews would rather get the money from towns hosting a stage then making a nice stage.

what wheels does his team use? are they actually that shitty?

These:

French regions pay to host stages.

Nope, he isn't supposed to be even a contender for the Tour win, but media and he himself talks him into the position...

TT guys are 100% autists about this shit so it still could be.

But if this is it, that's on him for not clearing this shit when he signed with Bahrain (or alternatively when they made the deal with Campy).

Sounds more like a tantrum than anything else, hes been at the back for this whole tour so far so I think hes just feeling terrible. Maybe he knows that he wont even come close in the TT with his current shape and doesnt want to be exposed.

Same with spanish and italian ones for their GTs and there's more care with mountains by them

I will remember this
lmao no

That's debatable.

Aussie sportsmen are all a bit funny in the head

Rebadging equipment to match your sponsors is a common place in cycling, and most other sports.

But depending what it is he wants it could be problematic. And maybe the team/sponsor deal just doesn't allow it in this instance. Wheels are quite visible compared to say, tires or brake pads or something.

Source? Evidence? Proof? I've never heard of this. Surely people would notice that a product isn't what it's labelled as.

I think he's using a Specialized stem now but for the last couple of years Sagan has been using a Zipp stem with the logos taped over.
cyclingnews.com/features/peter-sagans-s-works-tarmac-sl6-gallery/

Here's another article I found with some other examples:

Common with especially rain tires (source: Brian Holm, QS DS, on Eurosport). Not something anyone will be able to tell, but if your tire sponsor has crappy rain tires, you do what you have to do.

In the case of wanting a trispoke or something similar it would be quite hard to cover up. If it's just another spoked/disc wheel it should be pretty easy as and the only people that would notice it are the TT autists.

Most common with saddles, stems, bars, shoes, tires, etc. It's not even a secret desu.

Dennis about to go brendan tarrant crazy

Interesting, although that isn't "rebadging" as the Finn claimed, it's simply blocking out the logo of a component from a non-sponsor, rather than "rebadging" it as a sponsor company's product. Still interesting though, I didn't know this happened, but it's definitely less surprising than if attempted "rebadging" occurred.

I guess rebadging isn't as common in cycling as just blacking out logos since it's usually the accessories and not one of the main products on display.

>Thomas DeGendt's column in Sportwereld this morning refers to Dennis' problems even before he left the race: “Merida's TT bike is less fast and less aerodynamic than his BMC TT bike. At the Australians ITT championships, Dennis produced the exact same wattages as last year, but he went a full forty seconds slower. That is immense. The tendency also became clear in all subsequent TT's".
True enough, Dennis only won one TT this year, TdS, and with the smallest possible margin.
So I can imagine he pleaded with his management to do something about this problem, and preferred to leave the race prior to the ITT, preferring abandoning to being beaten by the likes of WVA....

40 secs of difference, that a big YIKES from me.

Why doesn't a better team with better equipment sign him?

if this is true this is a chad move from dennis t b h

Not really. He should've anticipated this because it's been a thing for at least 25 years.

Also makes me wonder how much less time slower riders like quintano and pinot would lose if they rode uk postal's bikes.

>40 secs of difference, that a big YIKES from me.
On a different day though, I cant imagine the conditions being EXACTLY the same as they were the year before eh. I think differences between the different TT bikes are much more marginal than that. Can you imagine Nibali not getting ultra pissed going for gc's when hes losing that much in the TT?

Quintana not so much, the Canyon together with the BMC are supposed to be the fastest TT bikes, faster than the chinarellos.

Just shows that the UCI and the PRO cycling tour is utter crap.
A rich team like INEOS can buy up any rider they want, use any (the best of course) material they want.

The rest have to do with what the sponsors give them.
Riders aren't even allowed to buy the stuff out of their own pocket to race with it because MUUUH sponsors.

Maybe he's trying to grab other teams' attention in the most public way possible.

>uk postal
Enjoy seething, Mario.

>it's been a thing for at least 25 years.
What, deliberately usiing poor bikes ?

Riders being at significant disadvantage in TTs based on their sponsors/team provided equipment.

Just how much costs a TT bike if pro teams (the only users of said bikes lol) can't afford them ?

Bahrain-Merida will not be missed, didn't win shit, and Nibali didn't have any luck with this team.

Bahrain and its stupid kings have all the oil money in the world, why do they need Merida as a main sponsor?

I dont think that is the problem, the problem is that they cant just ride on different bikes when it suits them. Every team has their bike sponsor and I can imagine the sponsor is very strict about using their bikes.

>Good i wish that was me

they just black out the sponsor names if they use another product

This: And remember with Bahrain-Merida, their bike sponsor is literally one of their title sponsors. So there's probably no way that Merida would allow one of their riders to ride a competing manufacturer's bike.

Yeah that's what it seems to be from what people have posted. Not the same as "rebranding" of course which would be pretending that another company's product is your own.

Ok so as a specialist he should have know he was doomed from the start.

Thinking the Lapierre TT bikes must be decent as well seeing as FDJ did so well at the TTT.

The new cannondale must be great too, the EF riders have suddenly become decent at TTs since this season.

did Quintana attack?

Have pigs flown?

that happens in alpine skiing

I have seen one...

...at a Pink Floyd concert
yes, I'm old

That's pretty cool man. Wish I had seen Pink Floyd.

TTTs are a lot more about teamwork than the absolute best aero equipment.

>implying

Of course there is more to it than equipment, but the total cross section of all the riders of the entire team being larger will make it more important than in the ITT as it should be a sum of advantages and disadvantages. Also they did better than the expected with regards to quality of their squad.

I wish that was a /drijftenue/!

wait a minute...

BORA being fined for this lmao

Can Tony Martin win tomorrow?
