Cheers folks, I thought it might have been a descent. I just don’t understand him, he might be feeling like crap, he was losing time, just gun it, if you slide out, then you lose time anyway…

Nothing ‘happened’, he’s ill.

Thanks for your very insightful reply…..I’ve known he was ill since Sunday :B

I meant, did he come off, have a mechanical, lost time downhill again……

Something must have happened before he lost 3 minutes. He’s been ill all week and this was a fairly easy, shortest stage.

1,2,3 BUT I fully expect Bouhanni to get bumped down after cutting Modolo up like that.

I took Viviani in over Nizzolo :”(

Bye Bye Wiggo, I fell asleep, so didn’t see what happened to him, just saw him rolling in nearly 4 minutes down

Just to make you giggle….When researching Le Bon, I went onto his wiki page and used google translate. http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johan_Le_Bon

For the last couple of year’s he’s been “Champion of France against the clock hopes”

This is my full team for today. I also kept cuddles for the points

Mark Cavendish
Elia Viviani
Cadel Evans
Johan Le Bon (Girls on film….Girls on film….. 👿 )
Nacer Bouhanni
Enrico Battaglin
Luka Mezgec
Rafal Majka
Ivan Santaromita

I’ve had Mezgec since the start and he’s done FECK all for me.

I took in Cav, Viviani, Bouhanni and Battaglin for today, still have 5 transfers banked and that will be 7 once the couple of flat stages are over. So will still be hunting for a stage win to fill up my badges. Then work out where I can get a tour top 10…..

I really think you should go
I really think you should go with titanium, with a Zipp carbon disc on the back and 80mm deep sections on the front.

All that will come to a grand total of £0.99p, but I guess that’s WAY outside of your budget….Also, get a bike fit 😉

ON a NON joking side, EVERYONE has to start somewhere, but the amount of “I’M NEW – WHAT BIKE” posts does get a little annoying, you just have to give the best advice you can for the situation people have outlined. Not everyone has money burning a whole in their pocket to buy fancy bikes and components. I sure as hell don’t.

For example, there was a post today, the £200 one. To do a coast to coast on a bike that costs £169.99 and most likely weights more than my trike is MENTAL, but if that’s all he/she has to spend, that’s what they have to work with.

I will say one thing, starting out life as a roadie on a HEAVY ass bike, will make you a stronger rider and get fitter that little quicker….either that or you will pack it in after a week 👿 👿

Having 8 transfers banked, I will use 5 today and then add the 2 tomorrow and have 5 to get back to a mountain goat team.

It will all go wrong no double 👿

The Giro is on, everyone is focused on that news wise.

You will never get decent predictions for a smaller tour, apart from TVG is nailed on to win and has been from the start. Sagan will get a stage or two, thats all.

I know he doesn’t start, I’ve already removed him from the game 😉

ME…..I’m about to load myself into the game and I am only 3 credits with 100 points per stage…. 👿

Other than that, Its a Gilbert stage 😉 😉

Ok, knowing that you are 6.4
Ok, knowing that you are 6.4 I would suggest NOT buying the one you originally posted.

The taller you are, the more important it is that you get the RIGHT sized frame for you, else you are going to end up with back, neck, arm and leg pain from having the wrong sized frame.

You need to get along to a local bike shop and have a ride on some of their frames. find out the roughly the size you need.

Normally I would suggest going for a bike fit, but on such a limited budget, there is no point.

If its your size, take it, because for that price, you’ll get nothing better and its suited perfect for what you need 😉
