Reserve made tubular rims for cx this season, maybe they are making road tubular now?

Great showing from the young girls from DSM at The Panne. Aggressive riding from both Georgi and Jastrab. :beerchug:

Agreed. Such a good move by Georgi. On a less happy note, those TBIs for Barnes and De Wilde at ~10k to go... Big ouch...

Until we have actual data showing a new tubular improving that much, I'm highly skeptical that's the case. No Vittoria tubular has even come close to it, even using the same tech as in their very fast TL tires.

Their tubular wheels aren't Shimano and definitey lighter unbranded Corima carbon tubular rims.
Haven't seen any hi res pics but on HDTV they look a lot like C36. Which Corima wheels would they be?
And, regardless, what's your math on the weight difference + frameset weight difference due to bigger size vs Marianne's to get to your sub-7Kg weight?

Yes, riding at (over) her limit, riding half wheeled, sent Barnes down. She put her hand down first (something one should learn to never do when crashing, but easier said than done when over your limit) resulting in broken radius.
Unfortunate for DeWilde she could do little to avoid...landed on shoulder, broke her scapula.
Hope for speedy recovery girls.

E3 Saxo Classic today right now featuring MvdP, Wva, Pogi, Loulou etc - a very strong field. High risk of rain showers.

Brilliant win from WvA. He seemed the weakest of the three leaders but rode intelligently to win.

Pogacar as usual, a mess of mis-timed attacks.

At least he tried and the only current gc rider that races one day classics and he podiumed.
Btw, let's see in Flanders.

If Pogacar had intelligence he would be unbeatable.

Too bad you're hate at Pogi will be for a long time since he's still 24.

Pogi put in a big dig on the Paterberg. When he failed to dislodge the other two there it was always looking like coming down to a sprint and he would not win that, as he did not. I don't know what he could have done differently in this race.
