Bruce Wayne's latest activity

I suppose this is what I struggle with the most. The Sky era was typified by the whole marginal gains thing, and they were supposed to be the best because of looking under every stone for improvements. Despite this, they were way down on the EPO...

I got into the sport because of Pantani and he always contended that his suspension in 99 was a stitch up because he was too dominant in that year's Giro. He's probably chuckling looking down on the dominance Pogacar shows in every race he rocks...

One thing I find interesting is that, if you look at a proam race, like the Maratona, the times haven't really changed much https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maratona_dles_Dolomites#Recent_results You would think that those at the sharp end will...

I'm not so sure Dave. The media now are so chummy with the athletes that no one really asks questions. There isn't a David Walsh, and Kimmage is pushed to the sidelines. GCN et al are just cycling PR.

It strikes me as quite funny that Froome, Wiggins and that generation were often tainted by accusations, yet their performances were some way below that from the 90s and 00s, yet since Covid, performances have gone through the roof and people are...

Gewiss literally came to prominence by getting the 1-2-3 at Fleche Wallonne.

I think Remco is quality but the standard set by Jonas and Tadej is just a different level even Primoz looks ordinary next to these two.

If it's like London, perhaps something that either won't get pinched or something you don't mind getting pinched?

Remco is 3rd place but over 7 minutes back. We've had 2 mountain stages.

He's kinda right. I suspect Vingegaard will increasingly be of that opinion too.

I read an interview where he said that he feels he can't compete with Pog and JV. For a rider with so much talent he looks completely beaten, out of ideas.

I feel for Remco. He seems actually human. Has good days, has bad days. Pogacar just wins. He never has a bad day anymore.

Blimey.

What kind of riding are you thinking of doing? Bikes seem to have become extremely expensive in recent years, so whatever you go for, you might do well in the 2nd hand market.

Something's not right. It's 90's era ascent speed. He looks like he's yawning here after that ride yesterday. Anyway, I'm just off out for my Hautacam - Cleves Hill, Ormskirk...I'll let you know my VAM later.
