Dave Brailsford to be honoured with the freedom of Erewash

Zooming in on the finish line photo here it looks fairly obvious that his left lever is bent more inwards than the right, do you have a link to the clearer picture you mention? In any case, as MDF sagely points out, there's no way to tell from a picture whether one shifter is a couple of millimeters farther in than the other, enough to breach the rules if they were at the limit before the crash.

Take my word for it, the riders that pay me big fat fees are all whiter than white. Obviously, all those riders years ago were liars. But no one these days is, everything's so much better now. Maybe the above is true. But as was learned 15/20 years ago the methods of "cheating" always have and always will change/improve. If the sport is to be credible new tools to prove it are required. Dismissing the hunt for the truth by just expecting us to take the word of sports agents who are very interested parties in keeping the game rolling is a joke.

Filters? As long as they're modal filters I'm all for it! (Been quietly for that all the time, just like ... many UK LAs in fact https://therantyhighwayman.blogspot.com/2022/10/filtering-1980s.html?m=1 )

It still seems to be letting others post bilge - like stuff about how no-one ever uses cycle lanes, for example - so the quality filter clearly still needs some adjustment.

I hear you, spangly. Can advise that were you considering buying a winter jacket out of normal winter jacket buying season, this will still be a really good winter jacket next time winter rolls around.

Ah annoying site controls again... my comment was duff though - so perhaps the system is better than I'm giving it credit for?

RE:

It's all about the many, many, many...

The problem with providing this content in autumn is that a winter jacket needs to be tested in the winter.

Momentary lapse in concentration. Otherwise law abiding.
