AntonioGG Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 Best one in years! Love the guys racing all out to win instead of managing. They should increase time bonuses and shorten the stages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texbiker Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 I think you have a point about shortening the stages, especially the sprint ones. The peloton cruises along until about 10 K to go and then starts racing. Maybe have 25 K sprint stages where everyone can go all out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taco_junkie Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 I'm just glad Sky Ineos didn't win in the first week. It's been nice to have a reason to watch each day to see what's happened. What happened to Froome is terrible but it has been more exciting to watch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texbiker Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 I don't think it would be a crit exactly with the road changes but the racing might be like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AntonioGG Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 You know how you watch those guys go up the climbs in their big ring...but it's hard to gauge how fast they're really going? I just set my fastest time up Far West where Lawson Craddock has the KOM. I'm slightly slower: /s My whole ride with a bunch of flat stuff didn't average 15.8mph!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBaron Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 Is that Far West going up from Hart lane'ish? If so then you can sort by "following" and see what my best is. Strava mobile is so cumbersome for this or I'd just post mine up as another "inferior" example to. The TdF riders are aliens in human wrapping....not unlike that cockroach thing from Men in Black. -CJB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're coming at this from the bigger backside climb. I've never even done that (on Strava)....AND it makes the numbers/avg speed even MORE crazy. -CJB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AntonioGG Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 I went through 40 pages before I figured I could click "people I'm following" LOL! The fastest person I follow is Adam Leedy with a 5:20 I think for me to get to the 5's I would need to get back to my 2011 numbers (weight and power).

AntonioGG Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 I figured Awesome Lawson at 150lbs averaged 590W for those 3 minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
