m8 it's not 2003, carbon clincher profiles are just as stable as tubulars, plus they come with rim-specific carbon pads so unless I'm falling off a mountain in the rain there is no worries of overheating or delamination

Hahahaha he's not even subtle about it.
>>69582642
I know they're much better nowadays. I just don't feel comfortable riding them. If you feel good riding them then it's all fine. It's a nice wheelset in every case.
>>69582647
5 years from now, no good GC riders on tour for reasons
quintana only
no TT, only 20 stages of mountains and champs elysee sprint
falls on first stage and loses 3 minutes to some random no name like TVG
just hangs on for 19 stages
makes one attack on 20th stages last climb
gets back 1 minute
loses GC by 2
>N-next year I swear t. delusional columbian manlets
>>69582606
I bought carbon clinchers with an alloy rim. Not much heavier, way cheaper, no exploding and decent wet weather stopping.
I think the ideal for practicality these days would be a full carbon rim... with dick brakes.
Besides, the feel of a good clincher with latex tubes is pretty nice anyhow.

Nope. Most stages don't have any feed for the first hour or so.
>>69582735
No. All countries get exactly the same coverage. Eurosport goes live as soon as the feed does.
Next year all stages will be 100% live.
>>69582681
Yeah once we get to disc brakes I might get carbon clincher. Before that I'll stick with tubulars for sure. And yeah with modern high quality clinchers and latex tubes you can get a great ride.
>Tony Gallopin

>>69582664

I was watching it on Sky here along with a stream to see how far behind it was and it was broadcasting the race here from an earlier point.

Surprised they they let Cav have the win. Looking at the replay he really does feel like he cut Kittel's line, even if Kittel himself didn't look stronk enough to pass him.

If Kittel was coming from behind, then sure, but he wasn't.

>>69583183
I hate Cav just as much as the next guy but he really didn't do anything wrong there. Kittel had already been beaten
>>69583194
I'd give it to Majka (though he might stop going hard after he secures polka dot), Nibbles or Clement (because of my obvious bias but he's also been looking quite strong)
>all the sky lads in front

>>69583183
Don't be.
Remember, the races are to sell bikes.
The bike market in Germany is saturated, while the bike market in Britain is currently experiencing a boom. A British winner spurs sales.
>tfw it's 1998 and seemingly overnight everyone is riding 10,000 dollar race bikes.

>>69583231
the top I'd guess around 2-3 million euros a year
>>69583231
average is probably a couple of hundred grand all in, Froome will be on a few million
>>69583223
And then once the boom ends there are hundreds of hardly used race bikes in great condition on sale at a heavily discounted prices.
>>69583231
Team supporters in the ProTour get between $50-70,000. Top ones that get sponsorship and are a decided team #1 get $100,000+ depending on bonuses, stage prizes and endorsements. Continentals get even less than this and do it because they love it
>>69583231
Big riders probably between 2 and 6 million euro a year.
Top domestiques a few hundred thousand euro and upwards.
Squad filler 40,000€ and upwards.

Froome would have taken them with little trouble, probably.
>>69583012
Steve Jobs was extremely successful tho
Clement is doing fine this tour, I believe he has been in 3 or 4 breakaways and has done a good time-trial.
edit: I see that Pantano is in the breakaway too...the question is if he has to work for him. In earlier stages he had to work for Pantano/Frank, but now he is higher on the GC ranking.
>>69583265
That's still fuck all compared to even slightly above average tennis pros.
>>69583252
It's true. For about five years after the boom ended, I paid for all of my own bikes by buying other people's wanna-be-like-Lance Trek Madones and selling the parts on eBay.
