    https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2019/08/09/cycle-cafe-locked-row-council-bans-cycling-clubs-stopping/ You what now? Typical home counties NIMBYS. I'm sure they'd much prefer a hunt to congregate there.

    Motogull Had my op on the hand. 4 weeks in this cast, then by the sounds of it I get a removable one so I can exercise my hand. Probably another 6-8 off the bike. Good job it's not summer. Bored of being useless already. Lol

    Nope, was a non-cycling incident. Broke a lump of wood by stamping on it and it sprung back and hit my hand. Stepped fracture of the metacarpal (little finger side of my hand). Surgery on Monday to set it.

    All the people that recommended Rubino Pro tyres, thank you. They ride like a dream... Note that I'll be doing any riding for a while. Broke my right hand at the weekend, so off the bike for 6+ weeks.

    That green jersey doesn't pay too well then.

    [Travel] Is Australia a continent?

    No. Australia is a country (special emphasis on removing the O). Australasia is a continent.

    Iwonder if Ineos are playing the smart game and saying Thomas is still going for the victory so Allaphillipe worries about him. All the while Bernal is going for the win and Thomas is really a super-domestique.

    So if Alaphilippe now goes on to win it's going to be a tainted victory as there will be a lot of "what if the UCI wasn't so corrupt". Pity as I'm growing to like him.

    https://twitter.com/petercossins/status/1154295892712837121 If this is true, then it stinks even more of favouritism. Fine them the maximum amount permissible before they can appeal their DQ.

    Nothing quite like consistency, but then again a guy from Italy wasn't in pink at the time and needing all the help he can get to stay out in front. #cynicism

    Twitter seems to have blown up at the UCI, telling them they're complete idiots and the punishment doesn't fit the crime. Probably won't change the dumbest of decisions though, but does feel rather cathartic.

    Here's hoping Sagan is next. I want to like him but every time I see him I want punch him.

    GCN were on about this the other day, saying they could probably do with mixing up the tour to avoid such dull days. The transitional stages could be mixed up with more intermediate sprints, meaning that you need to be in more breakaway groups if you really want that points jersey. Can you...

    Note: don't forget to oil your chain. When it gets to the point that it's squeaking it steals a lot of watts.
