    Wow, the West Ham Tottenham ref is awful. Paqueta just ran in to the back of Maddison as he was preparing to shoot. No foul given. If Antonio scored it would have been crossed off for a clear error it was soo poor.

    Yep, I don’t think the ref really has got control of the game. Should be a yellow for Paqueta for a shoulder charge and no attempt to play the ball while being late. It has kind of set the standard for what is allowed. Looks to be a wet soggy pitch and I have low expectations for good football...

    So, this post office palaver then

    It would be unusual for the legal team dealing with the prosecution to have any of this information regarding the convictions being unsafe. It is the kind of issue that would mean solicitors and barristers get their license removed and there will not be many willing to take such a risk. You get...

    I think it helps not to think of zwift races as being a big deal. Outside of the proper racing leagues everything else has no real impact. If a race looks to be to your taste (distance, elevation and you have time to compete) just jump in and go. The races are tough because the pace tend to be...

    I was planning to go for an alpe PB attempt, but I’ve got a sore throat now and family have been ill so might end up giving it a miss unfortunately. If it doesn’t work maybe a makeup event will work timing wise next week.

    I quite like the pacer rides. It’s not scientific, but I find that doing a short race or other high intensity event followed by a lower intensity robopacer ride for 30 minutes has helped my fitness a lot. It’s odd that having 5-6 other riders gives a group feeling which I would never get doing a...

    Is that image all sauce for zwift? The map, elevation profile and data look a massive improvement!

    Stage 4 was a lot better. Managed to stay with the front and the shorter hills meant I avoided getting dropped (79kg). Went up the kicker in 3rd on last lap but got caught by a big group and had a sprint at the end for 9th/158 (7/120 zPower) so massively pleased with that! Score updated and that...

    The only slight mitigation I can think is that it seems that it was the side of the foot rather than studs. However, definitely seen them given and my feeling is it should have been given. Lots of talk saying Mcgin should be a yellow and the game is soft if that is a red..etc. I think...

    The draw makes for a great tight fight at the top though. It would be great to have 3 teams in contention going in to the last few games.

    lol, Mo did not attempt to play the ball and there was minimal contact. Should really have tried to take it rather than looking to get a penalty.

    Not enough in it for me. Players always push each other and the Liverpool player was only interested in marking Ake and didn’t realise the danger behind until it was too late. Edit - this is different to the recent goal that was disallowed for a foul. That was because the player who committed...

    Obesity

    Unfortunately if we want to tackle obesity significantly, then difficult decisions need to be made. We need to change the mindset of driving for 10-15 minute walking journeys. To do this we need to make cars less appealing (costs and taxes) while increasing public transport spending on improved...

    Nice! I did stage 2 tonight and the pace was crazy. I messed up on the titans grove reverse and did not go hard enough at the start and lost the front pack. Annoyingly about 3km later our chase group got within 2s and I was rely on others to close the gap, but it then opened again. I should...

    I think you are right. The number in A is an issue in itself, but when you get those with 5w/kg ftp and above there really is no way to compete on the hills. The low A numbers and spread mean that it can be a challenge to get a good group. I am getting towards the upper B group and there seems...

    The B race I was in before crash had a winning time in the low 36 minutes. Can’t really compare as the draft is not the same though. Do the A racers think the cat limits should change? It does seem that B cat will have 150 entries to 15 in A.

    Nice time and race! I was holding on to the front group (barely at about 30th) when going in to the flat section before the last KOM and the laptop crashed. I can’t face trying again as the pace was just ridiculous throughout. Zwift only kept some of my stats but had average Hr of 164 and max of...
