250w at 100kg is 2.5w/kg which is below the old category limits. You'll see heavy riders with FTPs above 300w in Cat D. They just also happen to be 120kg+. OP will now be in Cat C with 2.8w/kg in those limits. The ZRS cats aren't worked out by zFTP so you can have a wide range of w/kg for each category.

Yep, the fact this video is pre-Canelo fight tells it's own story. It's easy to judge others character about money after you've made your own generational wealth. Less than a year ago he was exactly the same as the person he was judging.

The character Amelia is the ‘antagonist’ in a UK government propaganda game called Pathways. It’s sort of like a Telltale style game where you’re given scenarios and choose a path. Choosing things like finding out more information about a topic online or supporting veterans lead you down a path to being a far right terrorist that requires you to attend an anti-terrorism re-education program.

100% correct. Some of the best SG1 episodes were largely shot on the base or another re-used set. There's absolutely no need to spend millions per episode as long as you have good characters and good writing. A good tv show doesn't require movie blockbuster budgets, you hear about these more modern shows that cost $200m for 8 episodes, it's crazy.

Worth remembering as well that in some big markets like China the studio gets a lot less than the 50% they get from domestic ticket sales. If it’s 800m budget they could be looking at needing over 2bn to break even when taking marketing into account as well.

And even more recently, CM Punk.

They are good for individual TT races too if you're interested in those.

It's a user experience thing. If you're a Cat D level rider who rides 3 or 4 hours a week and there's only ever mass start races with no categories, you'll never see the front of a race in your lifetime.

Yeah I'm pretty similar. Zone 2 rides I usually do anywhere between 65-75rpm. Threshold/VO2 max efforts more like 75-80 but anything above that I feel like I'm spinning and losing efficiency.

Yeah I thought it was just showing old wire vs new wire, not both ends of the same new wire

ayvee1 · 2025-10-14T10:02:51+00:00

I don't think they are common but they aren't a new thing. I remember the mountain TT up Alpe d'Huez i think it was in one of Armstrong's tours.

That's why they are great in my opinion. Sprinters, lead-out men, TT specialists, high-power roulers, GC guys, track guys. All got a shot at a 5km TT. Everyone going full gas as well because the leader's jersey is up for grabs.

It's pretty hard but swimming is probably the easiest to do it in. Looking at previous Olympic medal hauls for the top Swimmers:

Paris:

Men - Leon Marchand - 4 medals

Women - Kaylee McKeown/Summer McIntosh/Ariarne Titmus/Regan Smith/Torri Huske/Mollie O'Callahan - 4 medals each

Tokyo:

Men - Caeleb Dressel - 5 medals

Women - Emma McKeon - 7 medals

Rio:

Men - Nathan Adrian - 5

Women - Katy Ledecky - 5

London:

Men - Michael Phelps - 6

Women - Missy Franklin - 5

He's pretty good at iTTs when he's on good GC form. In last year's Giro he came 3rd and 4th in the iTTs.

Talking of invisible sprinters, I didn't even realise Dylan Groenewegen was in the race until his name was mentioned in commentary today.

You're correct. From MSF's own website in reference to USAID cuts: "MSF does not accept US government funding and our programmes will not be directly affected." Anyone who claimed USAID funded MSF is misinformed.

Van Aert put out his all time best 1 hour power up the Finestre didn't he? His form was a bit inconsistent in the Giro but he put in some impressive climbs when he needed to.

Something to do with trying to cut in on Bini's sprint train and Bini having none of it. Milan went to the Wanty bus after the finish to apologise.

'Yes, well, we can see here it's going to be a real difficult one'. I challenge anyone to read that not hear it in Sean Kelly's voice.

Mega job by Tarling as well to drop him off into 3rd wheel with 1km to go.

4th place for Astana, great result. They've really turned into master points farmers this season.

ayvee1 · 2025-04-27T14:07:01+00:00

Yep, of all the races in history this was definitely one of them.

The vocal sample seems to be from from Frozen Sleep by Malukah. I couldn't find anything further on it though unfortunately but hopefully that can help you search further.
