The ones I have (not the latest, but have they changed?) have an extra layer of "leather" for the heel of the thumb and the bottom of the fingers.
I to have a dislike of padded gloves, and like these 661 gloves.
I tend to rotate a few pair of gloves so they tend to last a bit longer for me

broken cheekbone

back wheel skipped round, left hand came off the bars, face/ right arm took the impact. OUCH!
Get well soon Jens, that was a bad one!

Mr MC speaks sense, it s not just TDeF, you get F1, motoGP, golf, cricket, footy, rugby etc. etc. that people on here might like to chat about as its occuring. So whats the problem? spoiler stops your fun being spoilt if you want to hold off knowing the outcome.
Be a bit boring if all we did was talk about tyres, the yoof, bar width etc.

@greyhoundjim

velonews.com is your best friend when it comes to TdeF news.
Hope hes ok, hell of a rider, sounds hes a bit of a mess

er no See that there "winking" smiley? No? thought not

the two cats Ive had didnt drink water from the bowl, old boy Myron drank from a bowl of rainwater outside, Titch a kitten I 'found' used to drink from the tap!
Nuts the lot of them

Samuri, you do realise that as its a Columbia rider, the failure of his frame is the fault of the Garmin team? 😉
Carbon fibre dont scare me! Its Ti bolts I dont like

Go (slow) Kenny! 😉

Here we go!
Come on Wiggo!
Anyother cracking ride by young Roche too

theres rules about blocking other riders- thats what Cav & co were doing. Robh sums it up nicely

another long day in the armchair!

Robbie McEwen said at the time it was the right descision- more to do with Cav looking about/ trying to stall the sprint than moving on Thor

That is tragic.

Armstrong blaming Garmin for not 'allowing' Hincapie the yellow! And there's me thinking it was a bike race!
Cav was a bit naughty to Thor in the sprint, I'd like to be a fly on the wall in the columbia bus!

£1 posted? 😀

Have you been drinking Euro?

If George gets yellow, he'll lose it tomorrow.
The rain is spoiling my sky picture!!!

pardon?

looks realy nice, what tyres? A pair of them would suit my cx'er

Fantastic fun!
Keep pedaling, and try not to crash!
Remember, to slow down go UP the banking
Enjoy

F'ing crazy!
They're both sprinters- where was Cav when this occured 😉

Wiggo spotted in 'favourites' group!

To answer the OP, Oct started yesterday when I was at the furthest point from home, a two hour ride in the p'ing down rain. 😥

Is wiggo still the main group? I can only see 1 Garmin helmet- V de V probly

Hincapie?
Levi?
Cadel?

the guys a winner with a winners mentality: he knows hes going to win! And he tells it like it is, straight up!
Same as some guy called Lance summit other that alot of people onthis here forum believe is the second comming of Merckx, he can breathe out his arse, and never ever took drugs no sir-ee, the rest of them did tho!

Tim,never met you probly never will, but thats put a smile on my normally misserable boat tonight!
Good luck to the missus & you!

"big fat get, ya need milking!"
Billy Casper, Kes

Our BC lived to be 16, I grew up with him, fantastic dogs

Didnt want to mention Wiggo, dont want to jinx it!
Lance is f'ing impressive buts not the Lance of old(thankfully!) More open, friendly?
'Bert could win the race by himself, (IM no fan BTW-bit suspect to me) but when the sh1t hits the fan, he wont need or have Astana to help him. TT he'll not lose much time, climbs? they all attack each other, but its up to Cadel, Andy & Franck, Sastre to push on 'bert can follow/attack if Lance gos someone will follow them & take 'bert with them.

'Berts in a different league to Lance. Andy Shleck, Evans, poss Sastre will be the only ones to be able to live with Bertie

vinyl/leather cleaner?

@white101, jonb & me road back along to the Grove, then the climb uptp the DH'rs carpark, then did 13 and the stuff thru the trees back to the skills, then a go on the skills, then home. I think we got back at3.15.
Im going to be so stiff tomorrow after me off, and all the climbing 🙁
Nice to meet you BTW!

white101 where you on the red spesh? sorry didnt introduce myself properly

top end stuff is under the UCI weight limit anyway, so not really an advantage

Good day, cheers to Mike & co.
