Aru abandons. No surprise0

Aru climbs off"If I was a 38 year old man, I definitely wouldn't be riding a bright yellow bike with Hello Kitty disc wheels, put it that way. What we're witnessing here is the world's most high profile mid-life crisis" Afx237vi Mon Jul 20, 2009 2:43 pm0

Reichenbach not great at descending either. Gets stick for it ."If I was a 38 year old man, I definitely wouldn't be riding a bright yellow bike with Hello Kitty disc wheels, put it that way.

Aru has climbed offWarning No formatter is installed for the format0

It's a tricky one to improve too as it's probably a self-preservation instinct rather than a failure to work on technique. The same with sprinters who have a bad crash and lose the nerve to take the risks needed to win even though they still have the speed.mididoctors said:Reichenbach not great at descending either.

I have off days .. the skill I tell youngsters is learn mini drills to relax if you tighten up and get in the drops ( unless you have some stupid slammed stem ) . Consider myself a average descender which is elite status compared with what I see out there in rapha land .Pross said:

I hope Wout van Aert rips the legs off his climbing team mates again as it makes the race much more open and exciting."Science is a tool for cheaters". An anonymous French PE teacher.0

One of things that you can't ignore once you've seen it.tailwindhome said:Never stops being annoying that stage profile graphics indicate KM travelled rather than KM to go.
Similarly, in football, the way the extra referee stands on the same side as the linesman. Makes no sense, and I can't unsee it now.0 -
Lovely weather.Correlation is not causation.0

That descent looks horrible0

Are we sure Yates is joining Ineos and not Jumbo next season? He seems to already be using Jumbo as his domestiques.0

I see Reichenbach still descends like a discombobulated lobster.Correlation is not causation.0
