Don't ride triples, win triples.
Peter Sagan has undergone quite the transformation over the years; starting as a brash and disrespectful neo-pro, he’s blossomed into one of the most exciting and charismatic racers in the bunch. A sort of modern-day Mario Cipollini.
And, as much as I dislike seeing riders dominate and take the excitement out of the sport, I love watching Peter race and I expect that if he manages to pull off his third straight worlds title, it was be a spectacular feat. Besides, he looks great in his black bibs with the bands, and I’ve gotten quite used to seeing him in those colors, so I don’t want to have to adjust to seeing another rider in them.
And, everybody knows you don’t ride triples; win triples.
Check the start list and good luck!

I did find myself setting a whole bunch of new PRs when I switched to the G+ but a bit surprised it might be apparent on rollers - though I don't know why I should be surprised as the times I put my #9 bike on the rollers with Conti 4 Season I can definitely feel they are more sluggish - though that could be as much the fact that they just make more noise. So I guess now I also need to do a 1 hr run on that as that has old Nucleon wheels with bladed spokes. Not sure I want to start swapping tyres around but if the winter gets bad you never know..........
Well it's nothing if it's not consistent. So checked the rear hub on the old Chorus wheel and it's smooth as butter. So ran the same 1 hr with rear wheel old style spokes and front wheel Shamal. Net distance is about half way between the two. Maybe I will stick the G+ on the old style spoke wheels as I have a pair in the garage that have a couple of splits from punctures but should be OK on the rollers and see what result that gives (bit of glue and internal patch - what can go wrong......). I can definitely feel the extra resistance with the old style wheel and I can't spin them up to the same top speed as the Shamal.
To the few, the merry few, who keep this site going, I'd like to wish you all a safe and happy holiday season. May Santa bring you all the bike-related goodies you wish for, may your calorie intake be reasonable, and may you all sneak a wee ride in somewhere. With all the multi-person jollity the season inevitably brings, a couple of hours of solitude on the bike will be good for everyone.

May many more, the Keepers, contributors, keep this site on the rivet. Going out tomorrow for solitude to photograph start location at first seconds of dawn—total solitude. Then ride recon gravel route 3hrs—more solitude, serenity, sweat. Merry Christmas!

Oh what fun it is to ride on two wheels every day!
Merry Xmas Everybody

Hear hear!
Merry tidings to you all, and may your steeds stay rubber-side-down on the wintery weather.

Merry Christmas fellow Velominati! Trust there's a n+1 be it whole bike or, components, clothing, ride entry, subscriptions! (New bike day for both our boys!)
This is an absolute shame. Last year's jersey was fantastic: http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/aru-to-change-design-of-italian-champions-jersey-before-first-races/
