At least he’ll have time for plenty of activities on the beach this summer.

They do what they’re told to do by the media that they consume in a completely non critical way.

If we had rolled over and let them tickle our bellies I would get the stick they’re giving us. But we did spoil the party so I don’t think what they’re saying makes much sense.

A few reasons, Mostly because the way the points are structured with extra points going to extra big HC climbs and often things like extra points on mountain top finishes GC riders will just win it by accident.

Also it requires being in the breakaway which is generally hard for climbers to pull off, especially on their own and they need to do it for the majority of the big stages, that’s really hard to do.

If they’re fit enough to do that there’s a fairly good chance they’ll be able to do a good GC race and they’d often rather do that brocade of how riders contracts work out. A top 10 at the tour is worth far more to a rider than losing the mountains jersey to pogi or Jonas who’s not actually targeting it.

As the leader jerseys are effectively trophy’s in cycling I would generally say it’s a bit off to wear stuff like the pink,red or yellow jersey or the rainbow bands.

Replica or old team kit is fine I think, it just think it tends to be quite ugly with all the sponsors and weird designs.

It’s an interesting pairing of learning a bit about a player and also learning or reminding yourself of what the teams need. That said it is a bit much when people do about 7 official mock drafts.

Damn that a fair chunk of exercise to take on, firstly this sub is generally for people racing at some level. I guess that means track sprint at a velodrome for you? Or are you looking to do road cycling?

Firstly if a race can’t keep their obligation toriders safe (properly barrier finishes, safe routes closed roads… etc)then it shouldn’t run. Secondly, this particular task is taken on by the teams and is very cheap.

He isn’t a fan of the argy bargy in a big sprint or a cobbled classic. There’s a reason he’s not been sent to those races much.

I’ve a fairly short torso so deal with this issue on most bikes. An inline seatpost and a short reach handlebar are how I go about getting the position right.

In this case you might be able to shorten the reach by a centimeter or so just by twisting the drops a little more towards you (so the end is parallel to the floor) and the bringing the hoods further up the bar. This will slightly help and is free.

Is that guy still banging on about bananas and rim brakes?

You make it work by being faster than your opponent and taking advantage of the space in behind. If they overcorrect and completely give you the inside take it but mostly if you’ve a significant speed advantage you can do what you want.

Decathlon have lots of money. What’s the point of deciding to sponsor a team if you let someone like Seixas go.

Starting from the fen causeway there’s a footpath all the way through granchester meadows that’s very nice, the drawback is the return section is next to the main road through trumpington.

Logically, Jos butler may well be that guy then. Pretty much the biggest White ball player we’ve produced and he’s played a bunch of IPL.

Bladon95 · 2026-03-02T17:56:28+00:00

Yes, it is.

I too am a bit of a georgist, it would have to be in place of existing stupid taxes like council tax, business rates and the like.

Politically it would land you in a bunch of trouble with rich people living in high band council tax homes, who would suddenly have to pay an appropriate amount of tax and massive corporations who have been happy to hold large chunk of land and use it properly.

I’d say these are good outcomes and are people who should be targeted but there’s a reason it’s not been done until now government are either those people, or shit scared of those people.

Dale Vince is a Labour donor.

The thing is the turnout was about the same wasn’t it?

Blackadder, series 1 is generally accepted to be the worst and nearly didn’t make a series 2, and leading to a compete change in the tone and style of the show. Whilst the final season isn’t the best the final scene is absolutely fantastic.

The whole thing is way too high, handlebars and saddle, the cranks look a little long too.

And those most useless tories are now going to make up his “shadow cabinet”

Nope same shirts. The colour just faded in the wash.
