@Cyclingnewsfeed Imagine if the UCI just worked with SRAM instead to formulate a workable policy instead of wasting shit loads of money in court losing.

[Colin Lynch PLY @FormerTTchamp]

@Domestique___ Of note however: pretty much all current mainstream head units on market currently fit inside the limit. So more of a nothingburger but rule designed to prevent them getting any larger. At least for Pros

[Colin Lynch PLY @FormerTTchamp]

@Domestique___ This is one of the dumber rules I’ve seen. They want to restrict head unit size so riders won’t be overwhelmed by data.

So instead riders will be trying to read the same data… off smaller screens. Make it make sense.

@Domestique___ What is it with South Americans and cycling into the back of busses? 😬

[Colin Lynch PLY @FormerTTchamp]

@rustyalex2 @MortenAnder @SSbike One possible explanation though: a set of tyres can vary in weight from set to set. If new tyres put on a wheel and less sealant added than previously… and bike not weighed then it’s possible it could be lighter than a previous weight of the “same” bike.

[Colin Lynch PLY @FormerTTchamp]

@dog_bob_ @SSbike Bikes are never weighed before start of road stages. Too many and would take too long. Winning bikes/possibly a few random ones checked at end.

Riders also often swap bikes during stages for various reasons so makes more sense to weigh what they finished on.

[Colin Lynch PLY @FormerTTchamp]

@rustyalex2 @MortenAnder @SSbike The weight thing may be trivial but there is a limit. It’s not +- 25g of 6.8kg

And it would be impossible to lose that much rubber during a stage. Sealant: yes. But it would mean a massive puncture that would necessitate a wheel change

[Colin Lynch PLY @FormerTTchamp]

@DaveWhite99 @lukascph You missed the /s

[Colin Lynch PLY @FormerTTchamp]

@Sgalby1875 @but_cyclists Yes. Are you stupid or just struggle to read big words?

[Colin Lynch PLY @FormerTTchamp]

@Sgalby1875 @but_cyclists So: Google says there are approx 35 million cars vs approx 1 million e-scooters, but the number of car-based serious injuries is 60 times higher.

However, I would suggest that an e-scooter crash tends to involve 1 person whilst a car accident often will involve several.

Subtle kit nerd note: Specialized introduced their new Evade 4 road helmets yesterday and all the sponsored teams were wearing the new lids in the Giro. New helmet isn't so easy to spot until you see the rear/back!

@interxplr @but_cyclists Charlie Alliston

[Colin Lynch PLY @FormerTTchamp]

@VelonCC Obviously he was faster. He had time to stop and have a little rest before setting off again. 🤣🤣

[Colin Lynch PLY @FormerTTchamp]

Feels like, barring injury or illness, that there will now only be one more pink jersey holder in the Giro. I reckon Jonas takes it at some point and when he does won;t give it up again. Can't see anyone else taking it in the interim.
