Fans cause crashes every year. They never learn. :)

100-200+kms of road and hundreds of thousands or even over a million spectators every day... there's bound to be a moron or two. Nothing will change that.
 
Yeah no that was insane. Vingegaard almost caught Pogacar.

And pogacar smashed Van Aert's time which makes Vingegaard's win even crazier
 
That was crazy. Call me noob, but I dont understand a TT where you need a drink + a bike swap when it's a 35-40min ride.

It's like stopping during a 10k run to change shoes + have a drink.

Find a video of the recent Giro TT and then come back.
 
Tried it. Nearly died. Bus nearly did me in. Never again! There are better ways to die than being dragged half a km by a rogue taxi or bus. There is just too much road hazards in South Africa for cyclists

Yawn
 
Only an accident will get Tadej his 3rd title.
But if he does pull it off it'll be one of the great races.

Pog's TT bike is over 2kg heavier than the lightweight climbing bike he switched to.

Going uphill is all about power: weight ratio. That makes a huge difference.

Jonas' cervelo TT bike is much closer in weight to his normal road bike.
 
Anyway. I don't think the bike change changed much anyway. Pog lost 10-15 second there, but Jonas was 4.5 seconds per kilometre faster for the entire 22kms.

In SA you only do races with full road closure or switch to mountain biking.

Should be in for a cracking stage today and I am sure UAE will attack all day, Pogocar needs to take back alteast 80-90 seconds to have any chance
