In my ride today, just before I finished, I was starting the KOM climb when two riders, Chinese and Greek, flew passed me both going 5.5 to 7 W/ kg. The Greek riders had already done 66miles compared to the Chinese rider with 3 miles. I watched for about a minute or so whilst they both raced , overtaking each other as they climbed at a rapid rate.

It was a good race. The A’s got way on the flat and we worked together to haul them back in so that as we began to exit the tunnel we were one large group. They put the power down on the rise and pulled away. A few B’s managed to stick with them so had the benefit of the A group draft to the climb. I was too slow to react. Lesson learnt.
I think it would be an excellent race for us all to enter in future.

Oh well. I emailed Sigma Sport and here is their reply...
Hi Martin,
Thanks for contacting Sigma Sports.
I'm afraid we can't offer any discount on this product at this time, we have already sold all the product available in our first couple of drops and expect we won't have enough stock to match demand.

I’d wait for dc rainmaker most likely unless you can’t wait. Is your turbo on the way out? Then again I guess you could order one and cancel if dc rainmaker comes good.
I’m just hoping I get mine this year. I was in the same predicament last year with the wattbike. I’m thinking about getting a set of rollers second hand to fill the void as I wait.

Bob - when you are quaffing the vino back - what are your thoughts on letting it breath ? Maybe decanting it is a step too far but I do think that leaving it open for a while before drinking does change the taste completely . Maybe I should try decanting ? What’s your thoughts

My slightly hungover head cannot quite deal with this no doubt genuine enquiry. I will have to defer to Tommy’s googling skills
