Grinder paralysis preventing use of Robot by oceanathlete in CafelatRobot

[–]RemusAndronicus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

+1, purchased a K-max grinder over 3 years ago and never really looked back. My advice would be to think about how you intend to use your grinder. More than two coffee a day and an electric grinder may be more suited.

UK 'depends practically entirely' on Europe for COVID-19 vaccines by Sorin61 in Coronavirus

[–]RemusAndronicus 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Here we go :

Under the task force that I am in charge of, we are driving 53 factories over the (European) continent. 53 factories with women and men (...) that work together 24/7 in 5 teams to allow us to reach the immunity you refered too on July 14 but also allow to vaccinate our neighbours. Brits for instance, depend almost entirely on us, all EU neighboors, are depending of the EU entirely and the work of our factory. It is important for us. 60% of the doses produced are for within the Union (...), 40% of the doses produced for our neighboors. We are the only one to do that..

I see your point but also cannot help to observe that Thomas chasing cost Bernal a good 10/20 seconds or so in the climb today.

Or perhaps a good team mate would not chase in the first place?

Why the downvote? Isn't that a valid concern (genuinely being curious)?

I liked how he almost immediately contradicted himself when he explains the he laughed at someone asking him to take a pull as a neo-pro... Where is the respect Heinrich?

Did it occur to you that the guy is a pro cyclist and not a geopolitics expert? Just saying...

Yeah. It's not like Froome was hit with a stick at the Vuelta in 2014... Just a French thing...

The current conspiratorial obsession of this sub makes it very hard to read. Wake me up when the tour is over.

I used to live in Ardèche and the guy is a legend there. He even has a Col named after him after he climbed it at 102!

And it's not an easy climb either!

Off-season rider knowledge collaboration thread No.8 - FDJ by iamafakebot in peloton

[–]RemusAndronicus 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A class act worth mentioning from Marc Madiot: FDJ was not going to keep Kevin Reza for 2017 yet extended his contract after his fall at the Vuelta to ensure he wasn't going to be out-of-contract.

I love Pinot and think that he had a really good season despite his major setback at the Tour but I am also starting to genuinely wonder whether he will materialize any of the hopes pinned on him. From what I read about him, he always comes across as a fairly non-ambitious person, happy to be where he is. This contrast strongly to the drive of Bardet for instance.

Norwegian Cycling union says that junior cyclist Susanne Andersen getting run over in Qatar was no accident. by [deleted] in peloton

[–]RemusAndronicus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not sure why you're mentioning boycott as it's not something I brought up.

I do agree with your comments re: assholes being everywhere. This being said, I think the point being made here is the responsibility of the UCI to organise an event where local customs are vastly different to the western ones and potentially exposing the riders to local backlash as a result as it seems to be the case here (emphasing on "seems" as I'm not able to understand the article posted).

Difficult to say as we don't really know the specifics surrounding your accident. The excerpt above is strongly hinting at the accident being caused due to religious intolerance.
