The less time you have for a bike ride, the more you need one. Materials scientist turned police detective turned bike mechanic, funny how life pans out.

@cycloben2 Looks like it's not on Discovery/Eurosport but has a YouTube feed. I'm more excited about women's than men's racing this year - all the rider changes have thrown it wide open 😎

@Ora_Charmander @jayforeman It knows it's a fake news hollow claim because it's not free-standing and so isn't fit to sit in Emley Moor's shadow.

@KristabelDH If you're not tubeless then avoid tubeless tyres. Heavier, more expensive and MUCH more difficult to fit than "tube type" version. Pirelli P Zero and Conti GP5000 2 of the best, most popular tyres + both have tube type options. Schwalbe Pro 1 a bit fragile (ex shop mechanic)

@Elias_TVL Giro Aerohead - was the go-to TT helmet a few years ago and is popular on the track but because it's short and relatively compact it works on road bikes

@laflammerouge16 The cynic in me did think at the time that they'd have kept racing if the weather was better.

@RyanDuff99 Gonna be a regular occurrence so expect to see them on Sunday club runs this summer (and doubling in price on eBay)....

@Alpen_R @140CharTerror @Gravelspecific Dylan Johnson does both rolling and wind tunnel tests. On high speed tarmac the MTB tyre is slower but on rough ground it's significantly faster - IIRC 30w or so.

@ammattipyoraily Definitely an explosion of tubeless sealant as he went sideways, whatever failed first. He was filmed crossing finish line carrying bike so 🤞 just road rash.

@ammattipyoraily First outing of the wild new Colnago Y1-RS. You'd expect to see UAE team racing in UAE on a bike brand owned by UAE, but there's been rumours they're struggling to get them out there.
