…yeah, I kinda feel like MTB standards and tech change so fast, some of the more radical designs will age pretty quickly. Love the skinny-tubed steel frame look… consistently get brilliant reviews too.
I was looking at getting my lad a BFe hardtail before he got comfortable on my YT, now thinking it might be an excuse to give him mine and get a Rocket 
Hursty Riding a bird’s bike? Whatever next?
Had a Whyte T-129 which was awesome but sold it to get my Trek. Bird is another good UK bike company.
Along_the_Wire Lol, it just a normal bike , not gender specific!
The CEO of Team Ineos used to work for Team Sky, which obviously makes sense but check out some of her previous positions in Team Sky, my particular favourite being Head of Winning Behaviour!
I think there Ed will be on the phone to his boss first thing tomorrow requesting a new job title!
If ever there was a time / sign for a business / company to take a long hard look at itself, it’s at the moment that they create a position of Head of Winning Behaviour. Wow. The levels of hubris are off the charts.
Cap doffed

Strade Bianche today - first race of the pro season. I’m reasonably excited.
Aberdeen versus Rangers and the FA Cup an all.
Along_the_Wire Strade Bianche today

I know. Good luck in TT though. I’ll be out nice and early myself tomorrow. Just made a fresh batch if my energy bars as well.
Has anyone else seen the Fabio Jakobsen crash yet? Such an abrupt and devastating crash no wonder he’s in an induced coma.
Groinwegen or however you spell his name definitely forced him into the barrier, clear as day.
Definitely.
That is bang out of order.
He’ll get a lengthy ban for that. A little drift to defend a position is usually just part of the game, but he went halfway across the road and stuck his elbow out. Doubt it was intentional, but at the speeds they’ll have been doing down the hill, it’s terrifying - 70kmh?
…do they really need a downhill section for a sprint finish? They go fast enough anyway, seems unnecessarily dangerous to me
Sprint stages are boring as fuck - why would you race for 5 hours just for the sprint at the end? Don’t get it. Climbers just use those stages as rest days.
Terrible riding caused that
