Anyone else rewrapping their bars to get a bare nekkid middle section and the finish tape right at the bend?
You know I did it daily for like 10 years, and fast! Now yeah, klutz. I pulled it off a few times but definitely lacks the pro finish...Bar tape is so good and durable these days that I felt a little bit like a klutz the last time I actually rewrapped a pair of bars.....
Prima Donnas would be more accurate. They are not introverted...Another day of sprinters pushing and shoving -- and accidentally leading out the wrong dude! -- and finger waving.....
Are sprinters babies?!
Some pretty good pushing and shoving between Sagan and winner Jakobsen in today's sprint finish.
I've looked at 17 or so video analyses, and it's hard to say who's doing the dirty.
Yeah I don't have to be able to play as well as Peter Mrazek to know when he's playing crap. I don't get paid to play that well.. that's their job. Get on with it and don't be a hero...Sprinters are going in the range of 40 miles per hour, shoulder to shoulder, pushing and shoving, turning tight corners on narrow metal barrier lined finish approaches. Not sure that makes them babies. Are they Prima Donnas? Not as I understand the term. Doubt few of us here could do what the TdF sprinters are doing in those finish approaches.

Astounding stage for me today, as I almost always root for the breakaway, so mostly come away disappointed.
The Cote de Cassel cobbled sprint was actually a bit interesting - looking at the way the bikes rode on the cobbles (not the riders, mind), I would totally want Perez' DeRosa over MCN's SuperSix EVO. That thing just looked jumpy.
