    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.

    Just caught up.  That's Lance Armstrong level of ridiculousness.  

    One can win both the King of the Mountains (last year) AND individual time trial this year?  I call b.s.

    I'll preface by saying I'm not going to saying any cyclist is 100% not doping,  but I think people are leaping to conclusions because they had an entirely different expectation and the impulse is to say something is up rather than one had the wrong idea.

     

    Today will tell you what is going on with Alaphillipe. He has always been a very good time trialist, he win the Paris Nice TT two years ago in fact, so it's not out of left field. He is not a high mountains guy though, so that's where you need to look.

    You're out east right?  Is that in the Appalachians?  That's some serious climbing.

     

    Yeah, it's on the VA/WV state line. So not too much elevation, but some sharp ramps, couple 14% ones.

    Damn dude.  That's pretty impressive.  Please check back and let us (me) know how that went.  

    My goal time is "Not dead".

    This is pretty much the midway point of a multi year training cycle for doing the Pyrenees circle of death from Luchon to Pau, covering the Peyresourde, Aspin, Tourmalet and Aubisque. 125 miles and 22k of vertical.
