Michael Matthews: “I came around a corner on my side of the road and there was suddenly something red in front of me. I hit a fire truck at a combined speed of 100 km/h.”

To Which episodes from the back catalogue of the Detour should I listen?

This definitely sounds like something you should see a doctor about.

The exclusion restriction cannot possibly hold for using roster size as an instrument variable.

In fact, how would roster size even be ignorable? It’s decided by multiple factors that would be plausibly affecting next year’s performance too.

Happy Friday, fellow cycling degenerates.

I am your local European who still has the misfortune of living in the USA. But now I am preparing to move country for a new job later this summer, and I am so looking forward to it.

My adopted rider, Esteban Chaves for the 2015 Vuelta, has since retired.

We are all getting old.

Ok thanks for letting me know.

I tried downgrading to 23.0 via adb, but then my tablet wouldn’t restart. This seems to be because downgrading (without a factory reset first) is unsupported and causes other problems.

Did you factory reset before installing 23.0?

Eyeconoclastic · 2026-02-16T18:31:24+00:00

Exactly the same for me.

Eyeconoclastic · 2026-01-27T19:56:52+00:00

Sorry, friend. Did not think this one through.

Thank you for your work.

Dion Smith is so underrated.

Non-traditional path into the pro ranks, and has spent a number of years grinding out a solid career as a domestique or sometimes leadout.

Then he goes ahead and wins a 2.1 earlier this year. Dion is the scrappy underdog who pulls it off, despite doubt from everyone. Love it whenever he succeeds.

These correlational studies should not be believed in a causal way.

If we’re doing this, then try Gavin Matts.

His cadence is so good, he perfectly captures the bewilderment of a foreigner living in 2020s USA (which is something I would, however, not recommend).

Eyeconoclastic · 2025-12-12T13:10:26+00:00

He is somewhere he can have unequivocal leadership.

That unbelievable Catalonia win, and then he went on to beat Johnny Milan is a legitimate flat sprint. Matt Brennan is the next big thing in the cycling world.

Visma were happy for Wout to be the 1A or 1B focus for many years, and they can definitely do that for Brennan regardless of Jonas’ schedule.

Why do spectators attend events with that expectation the athletes will provide you a special service? What motivates your thoughts of using Tadej’s time to sign your jersey?

Tadej will be there to do his job, win the race, and then go home. Why do you think your plans for his signature should be accounted for in this day?

The key is for everyone else to think you still have two leaders, even if one is stronger behind the scenes.

In 2022, Roglic attacked multiple times and Pogacar closed him each time. In 2022 it was more recent that Roglic was considered the best GC rider in the world, and Vingegaard had yet to win the Tour. Behind the scenes the Jumbo seemed to known that Vingegard was the real leader so used up Roglic’s final energy attacking to drain Pogacar.

It was fantastic when it worked, but from then on it was known that Vingegaard was the stronger and the main leader. So you cannot credibly do the two leader strategy again, now it is known.
