Point is that you don’t have to be a WT pro to know that kids mess with your health.
And as I said, a team will do anything for a rider who is worth it - and none of it if he isn’t. Of course anyone would prefer for it to be easier.
You seem also unaware that a lot in pro cycling today is a lot harder than in 1996.
No idea but an opinion. 🤦‍♂️

That’s a sub-7 on the gear, right there.

Great ride with the two little machines today.

Steel with old Campagnolo and you would probably consider putting on a new bar tape next time you get to it.

My wife just told me that a friend still works for Lehman Brothers, the bank who went bankrupt in 2008.

“Interestingly, Lehman Brothers technically still exists in 2026.
Its remaining legal entities are still winding down assets and paying creditors. Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. made its 33rd creditor distribution on October 1, 2026—more than 18 years after the collapse.”

Wild.
