@tomdanielson They should continue to add speed bumps in the sprints too. They seems to help so much to slow down the peloton 🤣

I’m reading this nonsense of handlebar width and it makes me feel lucky I’m not racing in the WT anymore so I can ride my 36s in peace. I watch the videos of my past racing with me wrestling my bike uphill with 42’s and cringe. I also cringe when I think of the insane crashes I have been involved in how they could have easily been avoided. If the UCI actually wants safety to be the priority at the World Tour level here are the changes they can make that will drastically reduce crashes immediately: 1. Have the roads the racers will go down inspected for holes, road furniture, unlit tunnels, tree roots, etc 5 months prior to race day. If the routes fail the safety guidelines then there is time to change or fix them. 2. All downhills and roundabouts (which either are in cities, have moss, or are in areas with little rainfall) must be cleaned in entirety by a street cleaner the day before the race. 3. Make GC time loss on sprint stages a thing of the past by everyone gets the same GC time at comfortable distance like 20k to go. 4. Race officials, police, and team cars cannot pass the peloton or riders at twice the speed the riders are traveling at. These areas are where the current problems are at. Narrow handlebars are actually safer as riders can move throughout the peloton easier. If speed is a safety concern then the places to look are downhills and sections of course with massive cross and tailwinds. If you are removing gears to make sprint finishes safe, well, you are going to have to remove a lot more. The majority of the “excitement” of the sprint for the audience is the high speed fight for position and the actual sprint. If you give everyone a gear that all abilities can do then we are going to have a bmx race with no jumps and turns that goes for a long time. Can you imagine this? In these big sprint finishes the big crashes come from the GC riders and teams fighting with the sprint teams. I don’t think the cameras even show the madness that goes on back there and I don’t think any fan likes to see their rider go home with a broken collarbone from a crash in 80th position. Let’s lighten the bikes, crank up the radios, raise the sock heights, narrow the handlebars, and lets these homies to the gears they want so the internet sites have something to impress us with!!!!!!! Oh, and let’s make the streets safer so our hero’s can rumble in confidence!!!!

The National Weather Service survey team has found that a long track microburst occurred with the supercell storm yesterday over Austin producing winds as high as 85 mph. The length of the greatest damage path associated with the microburst was roughly 10 miles long and ranged in width from 1 mile to 2.5 miles. The path began over central Austin near Hyde Park and tracked to just east of the Austin airport. Outside of the core microburst winds, a broader area experienced peak winds of 55 to 75 mph. They also found that non of the damage was consistent with a tornado. It was all straight line winds. This is preliminary info and may be updated in the future. #kvue #atxwx

I like this take. Why not? Can you imagine the pressure and how vulnerable the other teams/riders would have to make themselves to get that gap back? Unfortunately we can just imagine.

If they let Toro work with Ineos and UAE blocked everything at back, Giro would been over. Toro would hav three min. in GC. He's in best shape of his life and you're acting like he's not a great climber. I'd love to see who would take 3 min off him in last week with strong UAE

That was crazy, Remco turned around, found Hirschi, not working, seemed to be unimpressed, then Hirschi crashed - I full on gasped! Hope he's OK. Very strange #Lombardia

There isn't one quote we could pick out of this interview to do it justice. If there is one interview you watch today, make it this one with @matmohoric. On n'a pas su choisir une seule citation qui rendrait hommage à l'interview. Du coup si vous devez écoutez un seul interview en entier aujourd'hui, faites en sorte que ce soit celui de @matmohoric. #TDF2023
