Apparently the Giro is the Arenberg Forest of the VSP…you can’t win the VSP here but you can most certainly lose it. My picks of Wiggins, Hesjdal and Gesink ended up being the equivalent of two punctures and a broken chain. »
If you now realise that your rest day swaps were stupid and want to revert back to your original picks does the system take that into account, or are you doubly penalized (as perhaps you should be for being stupid)? »

@Cyclops Oh, I didn’t realise that’s what McSqueak meant when he said ‘back pocket’. I’m impressed it still gets the GPS signal. Chapeau Garmin! »

@Ron I’m all for it – that’s hilarious! Fucking Di Luca. I’m such a hypocrite because I’ll totally fawn over old race footage of guys like Pantani or VDB, but my stomach turned a little the other day when I saw Di Luca go away on that climb. »

Just noticed photo #3 is Frank’s Look Fantastic Masterclass handout above – Pantani looked pretty badass sans goatee! »
VDB was a master of style on the bike in my less than humble opinion. He was even able to look awesome despite bleach blond hair and a Rule #50 breaking goatee. In fact, I think he looked so fucking awesome that I think Rule #50 should have a VDB except… »

@Mikael Liddy Indeed they will be, but congratulations – it totally worth it! FYI, a BabyBjorn can be worn Frank Schleck ‘Camelbelly’ style so you can still ride without fucking with your parenting duties or aerodynamics. »
@thebaron You may like them, but I’d venture to guess the guy riding behind you probably doesn’t… »

@wiscot I’ve always thought of Garzelli as a pretty stylish rider – perhaps he’s going senile in his old age (although googling some images does reveal that he has consistently made sartorial missteps with his helmet liners) »

@Ron My trick is that on the first sunny day of the season when I’m likely to get a tan, I wear the jersey that has the shortest sleeves and the bibs with the shortest inseam. Then on subsequent rides I just make sure the sleeves or legs of the kit I’m… »

@frank I always thought the advice regarding eating throughout the day was more about curbing binge cravings due to spikes/valleys in blood sugar as opposed to halting metabolism. Regardless, since I rarely get to ride anymore since become a parent, I … »
@Ron I’ve made Lim’s recipe on multiple occasions. I’ve tried other variations of it, but I still like the bacon, parmesan and Bragg’s Liquid Aminos version the best. I don’t find them terribly involved to make and they’ll keep in the fridge for a few… »
