    So you mean for the leagues
    So you mean for the leagues that your friends are in?

    Because at the moment you can get Overall and Overall Premium, also Giro and Giro Premium.

    If its just for the private/public leagues with your friends, then they always show up the non premium riders.

    I’m confused to what your looking for 😕

    I do smoke “occasionally”
    I do smoke “occasionally” like a cigar here and there at celebrations or an odd cigarette if i’m on a night out.

    I used to be a 20 a day guy until a few years ago and i was still putting in the same miles at the same rate i do now. I’m being honest when i say, I see no difference in my health and fitness levels from being a none smoker up until i was 19, then smoking 19-24 and now from 24-28. The smoking never effected my health or fitness.

    My asthma has never been a huge factor either. It used to play up when i was young and into my early teens, that was mainly through the summer when my hayfever was that bad it stopped me from going out side for weeks. I started getting cortisone injections when i was around 15 for my hayfever and since then my asthma only bothers me in very cold conditions, like riding in -12 though the winter.

    You can list me all the health benefits of not smoking…..blah blah blah, I was dead against it, I started, then quit, but still enjoy having one now and again. Since New Year, I’ve smoked 9 cigarettes and 3 cigars 😀

    Don’t worry about me, I’ll pull a stage win sometime before the season ends.

    But it seems my luck has returned from last year. I think it was mainly the TdF I would transfer a guy out the night before a stage and sure as hell he’d score more points than any of the rest of my team. I happened on back to back stages for nearly a week :”(

    I don’t have a clue, i though they were just going for my wolf look.

    Its great in winter though, keeps you warm apart from the when the wind chill and frost catch you. The only problem i have in summer is itching when its really warm 👿

    I’m just in the door now and the man i’ve stuck with the whole tour and i transferred out lastnight Izagirre is going to win. I’m raging now

    Clement is another rider i dropped the other day. I have Brandle, but thats not going to help.

    I would go back on the bike to get rid of my anger, but i’ve just done 86 miles and my legs don’t like me either X( X( X( X( X( X( X( X( X( X( X(

    OK, Unusual step for me, but
    OK, Unusual step for me, but i’m going out for a long haul cycle today, so I’ll maybe be back to catch the end of the stage

    So here is my team for the day with transfers

    Replace Benat Intxausti with Sergio Luis Henao – 1 GC + 5 for white
    Replace Domenico Pozzovivo with Daniel Schorn – 1 Points
    Replace Damiano Caruso with Diego Ulissi + 2 White
    Replace Jon Izagirre with Matthias Brandle

    So overall + 5 if all the Jersey’s stay the same, But i’m playing a break away card today with Schorn and Brandle being Austrian’s and Ulissi being 10 minutes down and Lampre won’t want to be doing any work, so will aim to get a man in the break 😉

    Joaquin Rodriguez (KAT)
    Jose Humberto Rujano (AND)
    Roman Kreuziger (AST)
    Sergio Luis Henao (SKY)
    Daniel Schorn (APP)
    Miguel Angel Rubiano (AND)
    Paolo Tiralongo (AST)
    Diego Ulissi (LAM)
    Matthias Brandle (APP)

    Oh yeah and thats only 4/6 of my transfers, so rolling 2 over to have 4 to switch out anyone who messes with my plans for Giro domination today 👿 👿

    So your going for just the
    So your going for just the one disc?

    Disc brake specific 700 wheels seem few and far between. Shimano did one a few years back, I think it was a T565, But i can’t see them for sale anywhere.

    Something like this for a budget though http://www.mailorderbikes.com/m14b591s423p3197/RALEIGH_700c_Front_Wheel_Disc_Black_/RS_GB

    On that budget your going to struggle to get the wheel, disc, calliper and lever without even getting a specific fork.

    What about someone local who could braze on a disc brake mount to your existing forks?

    Any chance of Cav joining a break??? :B

    I believe he’s trying to become the first rider to win the points jersey and finish last place overall in the GC…..So doubtful.

    If he had balls, he’d be out in the break, but he needs his comfort blanket (Bernie Eisel) to help him through a stage. So unless Bernie goes in a break, Cav wont be 👿

    I believe Keukeleire is going to try and get in the break, He tweeted about it 😉 Not a bad cheap star

    Niemiec will be up the road so Lampre don’t have to work again and the same goes for Salerno with Liquigas :B

    My request is to be able to view all riders in a particular team and their cost/stats at the same time.

    Would this help you out? It doesn’t have any stats, Just a list of riders sorted by team with their value’s 😉

    Interesting idea, to expensive for me, but if they can attract the right kind of team onto that project i’d be interested in the future with a smaller device and more compatibility :B

    Oh well, I don’t know, but according to the official site they kicked off at 10.10 thats all i’m going by, i watched the highlights tonight and saw the 1 hour 27 when Sagan won the race, then just looking at the time zones.

    I could be wrong though. But regardless of that, the deadline should have been before the stage starts are per every other stage/race 😕

    I don’t think i am.
    Race

    I don’t think i am.

    Race started at 10.10 local time and took 1 hour 27 to complete. so 11.37

    Current local time in Los Angeles
    Standard time zone: UTC/GMT -8 hours
    Daylight saving time: +1 hour
    Current time zone offset: UTC/GMT -7 hours

    So add 7 hours onto 11.37 and you get 18.37 😉

    Deadline was 19.05
