disc brake pad design ...not used to this length of intensive use? or were worn out too much before the race..hard to see if they are thinned out compared to rim brakes?"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.

i am underwhelmed by modern bike tech on these over priced machines... multiple riders need pads
for the money these bikes should be lightweight aero and cobble compliant

Well there you go.
Probably the worst crash so far and caused by street furniture, not cobbles.

Blythe isn't enjoying his day out much is he?0

10kms and counting.
I think the large chasse patate group will implode in the forest. The strongest will try to bridge, blowing out the deadwood."Science is a tool for cheaters". An anonymous French PE teacher.0 -
Gaps really not changing much. The peloton pulled back about 30" at one point but back to 2 minutes from the front group now as it seems to have been forever.0

Lots of crashes in seemingly innocuous tarmac sections.0

I reckon there have been more roundabout crashes on screen than cobbled crashes.Pross said:Lots of crashes in seemingly innocuous tarmac sections.

Now only a minute between group 2 and the "peloton".

Still near 2:30 gap to 'peloton' with 100 kms to go.
Gap just dropped towards 2:00 now as I type - pressure from the back or slowing at the front - maybe the former as team's 1st choices start to think about Arenberg etc?
Already seems an epic race and only just past 1/2 way.

Kwia had been riding a good race but seems to have missed this split.0

Anyone swapped to CX nobblies yet?
Any talk of max tyre sizes being used, especially on rear, where aero matters less?================
