I seem to remember Froome pulling a similar trick last year to stave off a late-Tour attack by Valverde and Quintana on a descent:

btw — to put into further perspective how impressive Sagan’s descent was, this is what happened when the yellow jersey group went down the same descent at slower speed:

Sagan is a very entertaining rider, who has had the green points jersey on lockdown for the past four years, mainly down to his versatility in modestly contesting fast finishes against the pure sprinters (by whom the green jersey was traditionally contested) but then hoovering up intermediate sprint points in the…

That position, known as the aerotuck, is more aerodynamically efficient going down hill, which increases your topspeed.. Contrary to what’s been said before, it can be used to steal a march on your competitors and the only reason that doesn’t happen more frequently in the Yellow Jersey race is that the risk/reward…

This article has three different ways you can cook eggs in a rice cooker:

Every single one of my Chinese in-laws does not know how to cook rice in anything but a rice cooker. Just to falsify your rather generic statement

I’m crying like a JRPG fan on prom night

That was totally my perception of LEGO Dimensions, but then I received the starter pack as a holiday gift, and I have been extremely impressed. Even without all the additional characters and level packs, the core game is extremely fun, very deep, and the way you use the toys in the game is way more than a gimmick.…

If Disney develops their own games in-house, they have one team of developers working on games based on Disney properties, and Disney takes on all the financial risk.

Hard to say because Jr. rules are a different and are administered differently. If you don’t see anything about it in the race bible I’d check with the commissar just to be sure.

To be clear though: swapping sanctioned, team bikes is different than grabbing a guy’s mountain bike off the road. sure, this is a relatively “small” stage race in the USA, and the rider wasn’t competing for the win so he isn’t likely to face any penalties, but it’s not on the same level as pro riders changing between…

you’ll have to read the guidelines and regulations for Jr races. It’s legal for pros because they have funding from sponsors. Jr level racing isn’t sponsored, so in order to keep a level playing field, I wouldn’t be surprised if regulations ban extra bikes for a rider (just like collegiate cycling banned TT bikes to…

If the bike the Junior finishes the race on does not have Junior gears, then yes, he would be DQ’d. Also, in some races - notably crits, there are rules as to when and under what conditions a bike can be swapped.

Absolutely. Contadork switches bikes with different gearing on some mountain finishes. One year I think at the Vuelta (Spain’s TdF, also screw spelling...) he switched to a triple the climb was so long and steep. Probably wrong.

Yes, it’s legal

Same here. My $/hour ratio in this game is ridiculous. The only other game this year I can see myself spending more time on is Persona 5, so this has a serious chance of being my GoTY. It was driving my girlfriend nuts how much time I was spending on it until I gifted her a copy and now she understands. Once…

I would pay $60 for a great vita port god dammit. lol
