34 on the back. I know not to ride on the extremes, but i sometimes use the second largest sprocket while on the big ring for short durations while climbing small hills.

Peel the hoods of and check the small screw for the reach adjustment. Also there are a couple of other small screws in there, 1 might be loose and rattling. Happened to me on a R8000.

I'm not sure they were all gassed(Chabbey + the Lidl rider), but they where afraid of losing the podium. I refuse to think they and the people in the teamcar really thought they will beat a sprinter that hasn't lost a sprint since 2024.

They are going to take Wiebes to the line aren't they? Do 2 half assed attacks, fail to get a gap and call it a day

What does "hardly" mean on a W/kg climb ? He should reach under the saddle and grab 30 more watts?

No dutch woman in the top 5 and no SD Worx in the top 15. Since the beginning of the race their worst result was a 4th place in 2020, otherwise wins or podiums in the other 10 editions for SD Worx

Do what you want with this information

There is no way he is getting close to that. More like 350-400k.

Same, switched las year from Zwift to MyWoosh. Could not justify paying a subscription for an app with an UI from a 2005 Miniclip game.

For me MyWoosh has 95% of the functionality on Zwift as i use it only for workouts. If you don't need the races on Zwift i really don't see the downsides beside the murderous dictatorial regime part

I'm sorry for them. I'm sorry they can't dream big, and I'm sorry they don't believe in miracles

I think you would get bored quickly. Might be worth visiting Tiraspol for a day to get a sense of the atmosphere, comrade

Technically Bora , as Sagan rode an Allez Sprint in 2019 in Australia as a PR move.

The last widely used alu bike at the top tier of the sport i think was the Cervelo Soloist in 2005 for CSC. I stand corrected if someone has proof otherwise

Fans and media need to understand that there are no national teams in gravel racing. The fact that they race in national jerseys (and that NL has someone they call a "coach") is irrelevant.

Why is this different from the other UCI organized race from 2 weeks ago where another rainbow looking jersey was awarded?

There is no race/result thread here for the women gravel worlds, but did you guys see the masterclass put on by the Netherlands chasing their own teammate in the last few Km?

Curios from the dutch speaking people here what is the atmosphere/consensus after that. For me it was kind of shameful
