Wanted to watch this, then the electric kept tripping in my house so I've spent all afternoon locating the problem

Your turbo trainer?

I must have been asleep.
Only just realised that Campenaerts has bested Brad Wiggins's hour record and topped 55kph.

Nah, one of the heating zone valves has had a small leak and it's gone into the motor, so creating a short. Pain to find.

Just need my stage 3 accepting, thanks

Amstel Gold Race WTF just happened today.
Talk about 11th hour and nail biting.
No forget the nail biting because it looked like a two horse race.
And then a last minute 3 horse race.
And the WTF coz Superman turned up on a bike!

Twas quite fantastic

The 1st stage of bkool championship is ready. Facebook showing me a 11 am scheduled ride. I've tried these before but can never find them do you need to be looking 10 mins early or does it only come live at 11 with a 10 min warm up like here?

 

[AAAC 76C]

If they are live they start at that time so go looking about 30 seconds in.
I have a feeling it just means that's when the stage opens. Have a look in the Facebook blogg.

The Bkool races usually start the warmup 1-2 minutes before the scheduled/announced times.

I.e if it says 4 PM, the warmup starts at 3.58-3.59 and race at 4.08/09. Bkool Master leaves 10 minutes into the race, and then the FEATURED label is gone from the “LIVE” section. But of course you can still join the session after that, if you know the name of the route or a participant. Just remember to start from the beginning and not behind the last rider.

I was waiting and nothing appeared on my feed, I refreshed and still nothing I just searched the route and 5 people where doing it so I guess that was it

Ok, besides the BKOOL USA rides, the Bkool “Spain” rides are scheduled on Thursdays. But as this is like a normal league, you can do the rides whenever and as often as you may wish.

So, as AAAC said, the 11 am was probably just the time when the league opened.

I've had an email and it was better highlighted as 11am +2. Facebook didn't show the 2 hour difference. I was 4th fastest in the world at that point and was already planning how to get to the finals.

I saw that 4th overall. Congratulations.

There where only 5 finishers at that point! Slowly going down the leader board
