Least surprising news ever Rohan Den(n)is contract terminated with Bahrain Merida. After his abandon at the TdF is it a shock?

To whoever recommended the Rubino Pros, I thank you. Been enjoying riding on them so much that I've just bought another twin pack of them (with only 1000km on the current pair). The 3C compound seems to provide bags of confidence and grip.

Stat Brother I've got a pair of horrid overshoes like these. They seem to work for visibility as it's a moving reflective/glowing colour instead of just a static yellow/reflective object. Also, warmer tootsies in the winter is a great bonus https://www.wiggle.co.nz/bbb-heavyduty-hi-viz-overshoes/

But of cycling humour to counteract the bs on the other thread https://www.cyclingweekly.com/news/comment/12-ways-spot-instacyclist-398720

I am. I got discharged from physio on Monday, and she said to go about life as usual, and if I fall off make sure I don't land on that hand. Went out again tonight. Done about my regular commute distance. My hand is sore now, but nothing significant. May well say *** it and ride in tomorrow it...

I got out on the bike on Sunday for the first time in 6 weeks. Only done 3km around a local loop, got home and decided my hand may not be quite ready yet. Going to cycle to work Friday and see how it goes. Something I'll probably regret on Saturday.

Oooh, sexy. I think I like it...a lot. Pro tour 2021 on TT bikes? Think of the drag reduction. https://road.cc/content/tech-news/266192-ceramicspeeds-driven-concept-can-now-change-gears-wirelessly-and-work-under

Vuelta showing off its GREEN credentials?

Carapaz to INEOS. This excites me a lot. Not for the 2020, but 2021 I expect him and Bernal to be leading the team. https://www.cyclingnews.com/news/team-ineos-confirm-signing-of-richard-carapaz/

Good news. No longer in a cast. Down to a tiny splint. Sadly they reckon another 6 weeks before I'm back on the bike.

https://www.cyclingweekly.com/news/racing/romain-bardet-told-team-thinking-quitting-racing-following-tour-de-france-disappointment-434888 I really like Bardet. Hope he doesn't quit and has a great 2020 as I'm running out of Frenchmen that I support.

Long live fishing tackle!!! Ultegra set on my carbon Cannondale

Out of respect for my legs I just had a spin on the exercise bike in the garage. Definitely need a smart trainer. The ride position is shocking. Probably do more damage to myself riding that, than not riding at all.

Been 6c and 30mph winds here today. Can't imagine many people went out for fun

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.
