@BenjiNaesen Not the same bike, just the same frame. Not the same tyres, groupset, chain, bar tape etc etc. The same frame, built up differently.

The same scales measured every other bike was over the minimum limit.

What did SD Worx scales measure post race?

SD Worx just mud slinging.

[Andy Gibson @Lopek]

@faustocoppi60 @Straatfeest Stupid rule? So what should the weight rule be?

How much outside the weight rule should penalties start applying? And if someone goes just outside that new line in future?

[Andy Gibson @Lopek]

@faustocoppi60 Quite right. She won fair and square. Shame she was denied her podium moment. Thankfully she gets it today.

[Andy Gibson @Lopek]

@ProCyclingStats @lorenawiebes Why did every other bike measured on the same scales pass?

What did SD Worx own scales measure after the race?

If the weight wasn't an important factor in a flat stage why did they setup the bike so close to the limit?

[Andy Gibson @Lopek]

@EricPrast @teamsdworx You think that didn't happen? 🤣

Notice they didn't show video of their own weighing of the bike after the stage? Or what they weighed it as? Strange that.

[Andy Gibson @Lopek]

@thijszonneveld @teamsdworx Come on, don't try to distract them from their mud slinging!

[Andy Gibson @Lopek]

@teamsdworx If "a slight weight difference provides hardly any advantage" then why run the bike close to the weight limit? Utter bollocks.

Stop slinging mud, admit your mistake and get on with racing.

@radiolemans Thanks from Darlington for John & team's fantastic Monaco coms. It's been a joy.

John mused about non-raced Ferrari "Spazzaneve" surprising survival. Here's an interesting article which inc quotes from Forghieri about it's dev importance.

@IMSARadio @IMSA Great thanks. Or John & Ryan can just talk quieter and I'll crank up the volume! ;)

[Andy Gibson @Lopek]

@IMSARadio @IMSA Please fix the sound balance on YouTube. Can barely here the cars at all, it's all commentary sound. Great comms but the cars sound great too ;-) #IMSA

[Andy Gibson @Lopek]

@NairoInGreen Agreed, but then PFP acted as a leadout/wind shadow for Koch in the final km when she got back. Utterly bizarre tactics on both sides.

@simon_schama Don't forget this is Israels war too... they're failing (and killing hundreds of innocent civilians) too.

[Andy Gibson @Lopek]

@medwaymakem Well if an actor and a tudor historian can't get to the bottom of it then who possibly could!?

[Andy Gibson @Lopek]

@azaleabee123 Problem is that yellows are now basically ignored. Ever since Charlie Whiting allowed tiny lifts to acknowledge double waved yellows in F1 this happens repeatedly across the whole of motorsport. Something needs to change. Slow down be prepared to stop? Not even close anymore.

[Andy Gibson @Lopek]

One day we'll finally get back to double waved yellows meaning slow down be prepared to stop. Not this bs we have now that repeatedly leads to crashes like this (and also regular safety cars for simple cleanup). All tracks back to Charlie Whiting lift BS in F1. #B12Hr

@RSL_Studio Back to it's former glory... though still not Rexy. 😭

[Andy Gibson @Lopek]

@RSL_Studio Sadly no Rexy for me (yet), but dismantling, cleaning & re-stickering this old thing... from the far inferior sport! #Daytona24 #IMSA #

[Andy Gibson @Lopek]

@cyclingontnt Could to include more adverts please, I almost saw a bit of racing a minute ago.

This is the final straw. I stuck with it - angrily - at the ridiculous price increase, and then again with the ads for select races, but if it's now every race as it appears, I'm done.

Greedy scum

[Andy Gibson @Lopek]

@cyclingontnt Where is Rob Hatch? How much longer to we have to listen to inane drivel of @carltonkirby? Intolerable. #TDF
