I'm fine for Thursday 16th if that helps - just got a heavy morning in the dentists chair this Thursday so I will be dosed up on painkillers - probably not the best idea for me to race up a big hill

I would have been interested in seeing @<Tommy> take part in the last two rounds just to see whether a decent rider starting with the disadvantage of having the 'slowest+10%' time entered for them on the first two rounds, could still win on GC versus a much weaker rider (e.g. someone like me) who has ridden all four stages? I think it could end up being pretty close to be honest.

I’m not sure to be honest Steve. Normally bridgy and me are pretty comparable. Similar weight and similar strength and weakness really . So probably best way to tell is to look at Paul’s time at the end of the league and I think I’d be either slightly behind or ahead of that but never by much either way. Then maybe Paul goes faster if I’m in the same group because then the group is bigger (?). Then I guess it’s a question of if the guys further back are at a disadvantage if they’re not in a group like that and are more isolated so it kind of compounds their disadvantage.

my Cospro or whatever it’s called is in its 3rd year of use- rarely fails to connect. It’s gods enough I don’t use my wahoo chest strap.
I bought a wahoo tickr 5 years ago. The strap rotted away at the press stud at a year or so.
I bought the Garmin full strap and attached the Wahoo to it. Apart from a few batteries its been fine. Ive since learnt if you unclip one side of the Wahoo it goes to sleep to save battery between use.

Yes I did and they've taken them back and refunded - just still waiting for the new ones I've ordered to arrive

I have a polar one that goes around my fore arm. I think this style is more dependable than the chest strap.
My first Garmin lasted 4 years until I left it behind when on hols in a hotel in Australia.
The second Garmin lasted around 3 years
my first Wahoo tickr died during the warranty period and second still going ok After around 3 years
I do find the coin batteries unreliable - they Don’t seem to last very long even when not being used.
Anyone seen this issue before? Lost pairing with all devices (turbo, HRM) every 8 minutes or so. I had to go back to the pairing screen each time to get connected again. Looking at my strava it seemed to happen at regular time intervals. Hopefully this is just a one off! [Apple TV and Tacx Neo2]
