  So great to see. The "old" guy still has some life left in the legs! Bravo Primoz!

  couldn't agree more. this might be the perfect moment to retire ... but then, he is obviously good for another couple of years in the peloton!

  Am I surprised? A little bit. Am I happy? Truly truly happy. Congratulations, Roglič! How wonderful to have a Slovenian win the last race at the championships in Slovenia. Fabulous!

  I don't want to state the obvious, but after reading your posts, I want to say that your opinion is completely irrelevant.

  It's crazy when a car or van does it, and worse when a police or race motorbike does it, especially if going in the opposite direction. Yes, accidents happen with bikes (ask Geraint Thomas or Julian Alaphilippe), and it's never safe, but this kind of thing should not be happening.

  The reason for that is that although the camera is recording at 1300 fromes per second it isn't capturing all the movement. The bicycles are travelling at such a high speed with the wheels spinng at a high revolution at the same time, that even 1300 frames per second does not capture all of the movement. The techy term for that is rolling shutter. It is further compounded by how the camera shoots each frame. Each single frame is scanned from top to bottom. That takes time even if done even at a high speed. Multiply that single frame time period by 1300 frames that have to be scanned and an overall time delay is happening. The bent spokes you see are a compounded image of the spoke movement being stopped on every frame at that moment. "rolling shutter." The cameras gubbins then creates an image showing this movement as best it can. To eliminate this issue would need a much faster camera shooting at many times the 1300 per second frame rate or use a camera with what is called a "global shutter" Global shutters eliminate much of that wubble you see in the spokes. Motion picture cameras have a global shutter. You will rarely see odd shaped moving images in high quality films.

  yes I should have qualified the all continents. maybe they can do a TdF TT prologue there - it seems the TdF route planning committee is always looking for a novel and inconvenient place to start a race. then McEnremcoe could truly be an all continents winner.

  although he'll never be able to beat a healthy pogi in a grand tour, this year's tdf has demonstrated that in his absence he can probably win any grand tour...
