My take on spoilers (because I'm sensitive about spoilers) is that if you're going to post in a thread that says "might contain spoilers" then it's okay. I didn't realize this wasn't the RTT thread...

I'll add that it was a very subtle "closing the door" move. Most moves are much more obvious. In fact, from the green rider's point of view, it might have been tough to tell that the rider closed the...

He hasn't changed a bit, looks the same! He spoke with me for probably 10 minutes one year, talking about the promoting side of the event.

That's totally intentional on the blue rider's part. It's a calculated risk, one that you can take in a p12 race, maybe in a 3 race, and I wouldn't recommend it in a 4 race. The rider outside was...

I'm now 45, racing age 46. I think I was 25 the last time I did the Oyster Bay Crit, got 4th in the 3 race (1992? 1991?). I think Frankie Lopez, Pat Gellineau, and.... a Toga sprinter guy beat me. I...

Like climber said, the first 10 pages covers the idea that it's senseless to be so aggressive in a Cat 4 race. This is the debris that came out of that discussion.

I like that clip. A lot of things impress me. First is the incredible amount of work those guys do, always on. There's a ton of fitness and ability in there, just to be able to hang around near the...

I think Sagan played it by the book. He corrected his line very quickly, the road definitely did curve, and he used the bend to his advantage (he made Demare go a bit further to the line).

When he crashes he's not swerving. He did veer a bit but he definitely wasn't swerving. In fact except for that slight veer, a few degrees, he's holding an exquisitely straight line.

+1

Clinic (ready at 7:45 AM), marshal, race... not much more you can do than that, especially with a 2+ hour drive each way.

heh.

Two guys were duking it out for the Series at Bethel (Cat 3-4s no less). One guy was an ex-pro, had raced with Lucho Herrera apparently (I don't know if it's true but he certainly was strong...

I agree that the pothole was the problem. But I'd give the guy a break there - there's water everywhere in that video, streaming across the road, and if the light was just wrong it'd be hard to see a...

True.

It's that it's easier for your hands to come off the bars when holding the hoods. It's much more difficult for your hands to come off the bars from the drops. I'm saying that your hands stay...

His right hand bounces off the bar - it slides off forward of the brake lever. Once he loses his bar that's it. Watch it in 1080 - I couldn't tell in my default 320 or whatever it goes to on my...

For real?

He probably is when he's upright. He didn't need to hit the deck though. I don't know him or anything about him except for a clip posted to YouTube showing him making an error. I didn't...

The guy in the red helmet is a total nimrod. Clueless, contact for no reason, rides like a moron, he's going to crash hard one day if he keeps that crap up.

Generally speaking it is not right to use contact to make up for tactical deficiencies.

If you're next to the rider in question you can move the most protective guy off of a wheel in 10 seconds...
