I am still riding GP4000s. I didn't get along with the set of 5000s I tried.
I ride GP4000 clinch on trainers and the Competition tubulars for racing. That's for both road and TT. Typically 100 all around for both unless I know the surface is smooth for those tubulars, I'll go higher.
For me it's hard to give up the tubulars and go to tubeless. I need to borrow a set so I can test the waters.

cheerleading for Ineos.
Ineos has been humbled. I think they felt they could sweep the grands by having 3 top dogs for each one. It's biting them in the arse so far.

Yeah this stage has been wild. Today was not supposed to be that tense lol.
Bora had a plan to drop the other sprinters, but it seems like they didn't have a plan for the expected attacks on the last two small climbs. Buchmann did a great job there at the end, but Sagan shouldn't have to chase people down that far out.
This tour has been great so far. These two stages with Bora taking charge has convinced me they're all on something new. The riding has been intense and insane speeds.

Sagan needed to finish one or two today to have a chance at the green in Paris. Finishing 4th really hurt his chances.
Wow sunweb!
Tomorrow should be another fun finish.

Bennett still has to make the time limit on all the mountain stages.

Jungels took out Higuita like a cat 5 in their first crit race.
Higuita abandoned. Turns out doing a head first slide into the asphalt at 60 k/hr hurts

I had to roll my eyes when Bobke was suggesting no one was really at fault.
Tactically Sagan did a masterful move on his sprint break setting Bennet up to have to split a gap but Bennet is simply faster right now. I still wonder if at some point Sagan (if he can't make any more headway) will abandon and concentrate on the Giro, since he is being paid to race in it.

Only the First climb and Bernal doesn't look comfortable out there
Posted on 9/13/20 at 10:13 am to castorinho
Bernal = done
Sucks no fans allowed on this mountain. So very dumb.
Shoutout to Sepp Kuss. Kid has a very bright future if he can get his doping game on point like the rest of these guys ahead of him

It's unreal how good Jumbo is. They look like a machine.

This stage looked brutal. My palms are sweaty just from watching that ending

Slovenia has taken over this tour

We saw the true Quintana today it seems. It seems Movistar’s issues of the past really were Quintana being their leader

Quintana had a bad crash yesterday. Not surprising he suffered. For the most part he’s been riding great this year.

It was cruel and unusual punishment. Especially 22% on the first of 3 climbs.

fricking Jumbo ruined what should have been an exciting stage. frick!

They flipped the script today for sure.
Posted on 9/13/20 at 1:02 pm to Cdawg
They are an absolute machine. Meanwhile Bora has shat all over themselves this tour. They are next to last in team classification. Also Coulda sworn the INEOS rider next to a cracked and broken Bernal today was Orlando Bloom.
