    Not only a letdown, total horseshit.

    I understand for safety they can't let them ride through that section of the course. But moving the end retroactively to a spot that the riders weren't prepared for and in fact was "just a spot" until they stopped the race fundamentally changes how that stage is played out. Alaphalippe was probably willing to cede some time on L'Iseran, knowing he had the descent to make up the time. And that's just one example.

     

    If they are going to do this, they might as well let all the dopers have their titles back.

    Did you own a car?

    Charleston today 89* feels like 94*  UV index 10   => still not biking unless it's for fun.

    But yeah for heat, Charleston is no joke either.  

    Funny story, but actually where I lived when I bought the Gary Fisher MTB I still own to this day. Was a carless college kid.

     

    Without exaggeration, I rate Charleston worse than SE Asia for humidity. Can literally see the air.

     

    To tie back into car thread, I spent every nickle I owned to get the A/C fixed on my old FJ 60 Land Cruiser during my tenure there. Probably cost more than vehicle was worth at the time

    Yeah, S Florida, ride a bike 10 miles during the day and you'll be dead well before the dysentery gets you.

    I realize we are a country of lazy fat asses and have infrastructure purpose built to maim pedestrians and cyclists. But S Florida is par for the course, including climate.

    Man, what the fuck is my BMW dealership even doing?

    So car got towed in because apparent fuel pump problem.  The people there were really polite but:

    1.  had a back and forth email exchange before i could get a loaner car

    2.  they returned the repaired car and now my hand brake is either snapped or loose or otherwise completely feckless

    Being a typical dealership apparently

    My issue with the French is that when riders of other countries are doing well, it is presumed that they must be cheating, while French riders rarely undergo the same scrutiny.  I'm not denying that there has been plenty of fire where smoke has been detected, but I have the opinion that pretty much everyone is cheating in some way. 

    Essentially, the French media has caused me to want nothing but failure for French riders. 

    Imo the French are justified being that way and have been racing significantly cleaner than everyone else for over two decades.

    Looking good. 

    Question re speed, polars, etc.  when does the jib come down/stay up?  Is it angle or velocity or?

    That's all the sort of things we are figuring out now. Generally in W/L it stays up in anything over 14 or so.
