Its like something out of a horror films for cyclist’s, I felt pain for them.

This is the “best” video i can find apart from if you pay for Eurosport player, if you ignore the wannabe commentator you can see parts of the climb

Yeah all my bikes run SPD’s,
Yeah all my bikes run SPD’s, just alot easier, i have two pairs of shoes, MTB with recessed cleats for almost everything and then a pair of road shoes for “racing” like sportives and those types of events

Have a look at the touring pedals, the PD-A600 are 280 odd grams a pair, only around 70-80 grams more than the Ritchey, but to me, the little extra weight is worth it just for me feeling i can put all my power through them

I used to have a pair for
I used to have a pair for Micro V4 Road’s, got rid as they just felt small and flimsy whenever i put any power through them, I had the same problem with those eggbeater things.

I switched to the Comp V4 MTB pedals, MUCH better, but in the end, i’ve gone back to Shimano’s own SPD MTB pedals on my road bike

What were you riding before?

Just remember, you will need to get ritchey cleats as Shimano’s wont fit, ritchey’s are thinner, i think thats what might have lead to me feeling they were flimsy.

I’m currently looking at a cross between MTB and Road pedals with the Shimano PD-A600 touring pedals

Its not one of my wind up’s, i’m looking at Valverde aswell

But Henao is not on my radar, he was in my team for Amstel and on my shortlist of FW, not this time

Great nickname for them at the moment as they look like they are cycling through swamps and not on roads, but then these are just warm up races for them, they dont seem to be targeting the wins

I wouldn’t bank on Cunego and Kreuziger 1, showing up and 2, putting in a decent performance because of their efforts the last couple of days in Trentino. It doesn’t finish until Friday with both of them being in the top 5 in the GC, i don’t see them leaving the race early

I had him in my team for Amstel and FW, he’ll be staying in for LBL because i think he’s got a chance

Got my lowest score ever today – a measly 5 points. Earned by Oscar Freire and he wasn’t even riding! Thankfully it all balances out as I scored a respectable 41 at Amstel Gold.

I’m playing purists, but soooo tempted to substitute for LBL

He was riding, came home in 83rd, if he wasn’t riding you wouldn’t have got any points

Interesting, four of us on
Interesting, four of us on 101 points and not one with the same scorers 😀

Just looked at the provisional list for Sunday, only 1 of my nine not riding again with 6 transfers :B
