I wonder how many listened to my advice and picked Smukulis like I said in the other thread, he’ll have a nice 15 points, unless he came in the top 20….. 👿

So, I wasn’t watching, following or anything the race today.

Am I right in thinking, the 9 riders I list below all get 10 points for the half way break?

Florian Vachon
Julien Fouchard
Nico Sijmens
Cyril Lemoine
Jerome Cousin
Zak Dempster
Gatis Smukulis
Preben Van Hecke

Im surprised at some of the purist teams, I thought tomorrow would be easier to predict, should be a sprint in is why Cav and Hutarovich are both in my purist teams, as both are in great form and couldn’t afford Greipel too, which is why I have Roelandts, although he is my tip to win today.

Im just liking the fact ive picked a breakaway member for once! (both teams) Should stay away, only about another 40km to halfway

Both purist teams?? How many teams do you have…..

My team for today is

My team for today is

Juan Antonio Flecha

Purist look like this

Mark Cavendish
Tom Boonen
Kenny van Hummel
Heinrich Haussler
Ramunas Navardauskas
Bernhard Eisel

Paul Voss
Vincent Jerome

So one in the break, hopefully they are away at half way.

Not to many purist teams with Cav?? You guys know that OPQS are working for Boonen today and Cav tomorrow…. :B

So you’d pay $1500 plus tax
So you’d pay $1500 plus tax for a pair?

Even if I had that kind of money, I wouldn’t want in at this early stage, don’t get me wrong, I like the idea, but no good if you want to wear anything over your eyes.

But they wont be into any racing this year, the UCI would have to approve them first.

It would be cool though and even better if the team car could send messages through them 🙂

OR, if you already have the kit you like, you could pick up the Ventus frameset here

But I agree with London player, if I was going to get a Ti bike, I’d want a higher level groupset

So you missed the part that started

“3 weeks ago I was out on our Sunday ride, descending I went through what I though was a puddle and it turned out to be a large pothole.” 👿

That was basically the start of his story.

3 weeks into the matter, you will be laughed off for starting a small claims :B

[Gkam84]

OK, I updated the startlist
OK, I updated the startlist as silly o’clock this morning, I now think I have EVERYONE in there, If you see anymore missing riders, please give me a shout. I’m not prefect and may have missed someone out 😕

[Gkam84]

Just having read the samples
Just having read the samples on their website, I fully agree with Mr MacMichael QC 👿

Also, just to point out, they will be wanting to sort out cycling things quickly these days, as the underwriters are none other than JTL, chief sponsors of Rapha racing team 😀

Not that I agree with the small claims statements others have made, that wouldn’t come until months, because you have to give them a chance to figure things out from your paper work etc.

It’ll go between Cycleguard and JTL, minus weekends, so you are only talking two weeks in terms of working days.

I would chase up the council for some compo though. Car drivers can do it for tyres, wheels and suspension. I don’t see why cyclists can’t.

I will be updating tomorrow, to make sure I have everyone in, I thought I had Demare, but just checked, nope, he’ll get chucked in tomorrow

Yeah, get as much of the dry deposits off, without applying loads of pressure and then a little vinegar on a cotton bud and give it a good clean. Then sit for an hour to dry off.

Should work, make sure its fully dry, then put some new batteries in and it “should” work again.

Acid or alkaline?

There are easy ways to clean them and hopefully recovery your lights in working order.

Firstly you’ll want to get rid of anything that easily flaked off, for that, use an old soft toothbrush

If its acid you want to use baking soda on a cotton bud

Alkaline you want to use lemon juice or vinegar, again on a cotton bud.

Yeah, that sounds typical for bike insurance I’ve afraid. It can take upto 6 months to get a payout/replacement.

I would keep on at them, it should speed it up.

In the mean time, have you got pictures of the pot hole? Put in a claim against your local council aswell.
