Thanks Bill - I do fancy another go at that stage if Bkool will behave for me!

It'll be an interesting re-run for me too if I can get my track pump fixed tomorrow. Had to do yesterdays ride with as much pressure as I could get in with my old bike pump. Lucky if it was 110 psi so should be a good indication of how much cramming in an extra 20 or 30 psi will make. Hopefully just an o ring in the nozzle needing changed or something.

I had the exact same problem. Think I got mine pumped to 120 psi. I'm trying to find one of these (http://www.wiggle.co.uk/lezyne-floor-pump-hp-road-abs-flip-chuck/) in local bike shops, but I may have to order one from UK.

Yours is approved Paul. If you or AAAC are about on Saturday I bet the quickest time will be beaten.

One most certainly hopes not

Is there any reason why the cumulative league isn't showing the updates from Thursdays stage 2??

Not sure why, but it always takes longer to update than the individual league scores. It's always been like that I think.

You guys were certainly shifting along! After Bkool left me sat on the line at the start I thought I might at least hold the gap between us if I tried hard enough, but you just kept going away from me. Only Bill's ride is showing in the league but from what I can see on Strava my power was higher than you and Bill but your speed was higher (and we're very similar weight) so it shows the benefit of a bit of drafting

I'll say it does, they were all more than 50 watts average down on my loan effort and they beat me by 2 kph.

I'm going to burn the board games tonight to give me better odds of being available tomorrow.

I take it you have all seen that Froome is in the spotlight for testing with too much asthma treatment during the Vuelta. 2 X too much.
@Whorty beware, you next.

I use my inhaler within legal limits as advised by my doctor. My achievements will remain untainted

There’s more asthma inhalers being used in the pro peloton then there is in the after school chess clubs these days!

But I’m starting to think it’s whorty’s Gandalf style beard, where his secret powers lie!

The Rapha podcast is very informative on Froomey

Good to see that 'pull it out of a bag' Nibali is sticking the knife in.
I always wondered about his Giro comeback.
No doubt a quick chat and a few tips from uncle Vinny sorted him out at the time.
Actually I imagine Vinokourov give quite a harsh half time brief when things are not going well.

My secret is finally out

If you get drunk, fall over and hurt your knee? If so then yes
