Want to know who won today’s men’s #tdufestiva

Want to know who won today’s men’s #tdufestival stage - blowing the entire race off his wheels? @lukeplapp (aka Plappy) is such a great young guy - on & off the bike. He rode for our team in 2018 and we went out to dinner last year just to chat. Part of the 2021 Olympic Track team, he is a huge weapon. We’ve not been a sponsor for a few years but he ALWAYS comes over to say hi when we see each other. Classy guy, going places.

A bit of an uphill drag for the finish of today’

A bit of an uphill drag for the finish of today’s #tdufestival . It won’t suit the pure sprinters, but a pure sprinter can still win. I think a much bigger bunch will contest the finishes because there are no bergs. The women’s race is expected to run 9.30am-12.15pm Sydney time and the men 2pm-5pm Sydney time. Both on @7plus.
Our riders in the race:
- @shannonmccurley_ (races for our @komknightsracing team)
- @_nicolelouise_ (client- 3rd on GC, racing for @syduniwmn )
- @nicola_macdonald (client, racing for @roxsoltlivsram )
- @jendarmody (client, racing for @syduniwmn )
- and our @nerocontinental riders

Our @nerocontinental rider @dylan_mckenna98 finish

Our @nerocontinental rider @dylan_mckenna98 finished in the chasing bunch in today’s first stage of the #tdufestival (@tourdownunder ). A great ride by a young guy, with some of the best riders in Aust.
And the winner? Well, @lukedurbridge rode off the front 60km to go, or something ridiculous like that, and just kept going. He was over 4min up, but won by 2.24mins. Classic Turbo. Well done Nero. By the way, good work to @cooper_sayers1 for getting into the first break of the day too.

Want to know why our new @nationalroadseries team

Want to know why our new @nationalroadseries team will be racing @schwalbeaustralia tyres this year???
Because it’s the best-rated tubeless road bike tire by @roadbike.magazin Check our the Schwalbe Pro One TLE. 'Weight, puncture protection and rolling resistance are top - test victory!'⁠. Definitely worth hunting down.

Wow. What a great start to the #tdufestival (@tour

Wow. What a great start to the #tdufestival (@tourdownunder ) for the women. Our @kom_financial_advice Ambassador, @_nicolelouise_ , came in a brilliant 3rd after what can only be described as an all-powerful sprint by our last year’s teamie @petamullens (@roxsoltlivsram ). Peta is such a classy bike rider. The jump was phenomenal- seriously, NO ONE had a chance when she went. @rubyrg jumped everyone else into second, with Nicole stuck to her wheel, with both coming from a long way back. @matildaraynolds in 4th.
Our @komknightsracing sprinter @shannonmccurley_ had a solid stage but still has heavy track-legs, so she’ll come good. She only found out 2 days ago she was racing! Our clients @nicola_macdonald (super-skillful rider) kept Peta safe for most of the race for the win and client @jendarmody did the same for @_nicolelouise_ for 3rd.
Im really happy for Nicole, who is constantly underrated - but she’s the real deal. She raced @slipstreamsarah up the last climb and it was a proper fight too. And she can power-down a sprint. You can’t pass @petamullens for that sprint though. Pwoah

I very rarely ride in anything but my work KOM kit but I really like this Heritage kit from @apres_velo. The best part is that you can’t tell you’re wearing it. I do like the colours too. I went to apresvelo.com to buy mine :-)

The Santos Festival of Cycling kicks off in a few days and our client, and @kom_financial_advice / @incomeprotectionforcyclists ambassador @_nicolelouise_ is racing for her Sydney Uni Staminade team. Nicole had so many great results last year and we’re so excited to see her race this year - even when it’s against our newly formed @komknightsracing team. She’s a great bike rider but a great person too. We’ll keep you updated on her race. 😊

As a local @trekbikesau ambassador, I just want to show how easy it easy to pick the colours of your new Trek and then the rest of the bits and pieces if you wish. It’s really easy AND you get a bike of your own making! It costs a smidgen more for Project One but we only buy new bikes every now and again, so save the extra cash and go Project One! My new Project One Madone arrived last week and I’m trying to hold off until Christmas to ride it.... it’s proving quite difficult! DM me for details about Project One or Trek in general and I’d be happy to chat 😊.

Pro contracts!
This is the moment that our sponsored team @nerocontinental rider @jay_vine3 and our sponsored team @roxsoltlivsram rider @neve_bradbury found out they’d won the 2020 #zwiftacademy very early this morning (whilst we were sleeping!), beating thousands of other riders. Neve has earned herself a pro contract with @wmncycling and Jay with @alpecinfenix
Both are beasts on the bike but really lovely off it. Two thoroughly decent people getting the chance of a lifetime. Chapeau to our teams @nerocontinental and @roxsoltlivsram for supporting them the way you have. Congrats Jay and Neve. You’re both awesome.

I guess it’s ‘show and tell’ time for 2020.

I guess it’s ‘show and tell’ time for 2020. I’ve certainly not had a bad year but I don’t like big km’s on Zwift, so it could have been a lot better too. Let’s hope we all have a better 2021. Off the bike has been pretty crap!

I’ve been waiting for these....
These are Bontrager’s top-of-the-line road shoes - “Bontrager XXX Road Cycling Shoes”.
There are a few things I like about them in particular: 30-day Unconditional Bontrager Guarantee (so you can return them if you don’t like them); the two Boa dials mean I can get them to suit my feet for whatever I’m doing (open them up a bit for long rides or tighten them on the go if I want to sprint (please, no jokes about my rubbish sprinting 😂); the tongue wraps makes them more comfy than other shoes; & there’s lots of perforation holes to get the heat out.

If you google XXX Bontrager Road Trek au then you’ll get their details page pop up. Worth a look. As always, happy to chat to anyone about them.

Thank you @albioncycles , @trekbikesau and @ridebontrager

Just a few points on the two @ridebontrager helmets we have - the Ballista and the WaveCel.
Thank you @trekbikesau for the option 😊. Happy to help riders get into one. Lots of cool helmets out there of course, but these are pretty sweet. The ballisa is a nice aero helmet (not too hot) and the WaveCel is pretty similar but with the new cellular technology.

Part of the reason why Tuesday Night Heffron is such important racing is that you get young guns like @brayden.rides and birthday boy @will___heffernan racing with old fellas like @gregrule , @mr.alexis.k (The Colonel and I in the background) every week. They’re both great kids - and sometimes get told, in no uncertain terms, what’s what out there. To their credit, they listen and learn. Both good kids. Chapeau lads. Happy birthday Will.

Overnight, 17 US States have joined Texas in suing

Overnight, 17 US States have joined Texas in suing the four ‘swing States’ of Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Georgia for, effectively, Breach of Contract in the Presidential election. The case is based on those four States sending out mail-in ballots to those not asking for them, which the 18 States will claim is not allowed under those State’s Constitutions. If that is proven correct, then those 18 States will claim that the 4 States breached the contract that States have with each other to follow their Constitution. It does two things: it forces the US Supreme Court to intervene and it removes the need to prove that wide-scale fraud existed (which Trump claims and Biden denies). The burden to prove wide-scale cheating was done was a time consuming process (and time is running out), but proving that the States broke their own rules is quick. So - if proven, then ALL states effectively eliminate the electoral votes and each State’s representatives have to vote for who should be President. That means that Republicans and Democrats each get a vote. If voting on party lines, Trump wins. Game over.
So - will this actually eventuate? Hmmm. It’s perfectly possible. Im not a lawyer but Wisconsin, for eg wanted to change their Constitution but never got around to doing it... it’s possible I guess. I’m not sure that the Supreme Court, even if they think those 18 States are right, will judge it that way. Is the remediation worse than the breach? 75 million Americans will say not. A smidgen more will say yes. Millions believe there was wide-scale cheating and rule breaking and millions dont.
Why am I telling you this?
If it happens then the superannuation returns may get volatile for a bit. Like everything, my commentary is in relation to what impact comes to our Super.
Also - as always - I don’t care if you love Trump or hate Trump. Be constructive in your comments please or I’ll just delete them. Im not here to encourage political debate - just tell you no BS about what’s actually happening and what it may mean.... Comment away but please be respectful of others view (otherwise I’ll just delete the comment). This isn’t a free-for-all 😊

A pretty interesting January coming up. If you’ve ever wanted to see the best domestic riders Australia has to offer, you’re about to find out. Men and women. I’ll be there as always. With what team? That’s for me to know and you to find out 😁

I wanted to wait a little bit before putting this up. @carmanben is a rider on our @nerocontinental team. He won a huge @nationalroadseries stage late last week (and the last stage of our @kom_financial_advice @auscyclingqueensland Classic Road Series recently), only to have a terrible crash in yesterday’s stage. Some crashes are worse than others and thankfully, although his leg will be stuffed for quite a while, at least it’s not his head. He’ll be back soon enough and we’re relieved he’s (kind of) ok. Shoutout to @tom.bolton1 and @cameroonscott who came down hard too. Heal well soon gents.

@mercedesbenzmelbourne are wonderful supporters of our cycling community. We’ve bought three Mercs from them over the years now, even though we live in Sydney. They’ve given me this really nice V-Class van to drive around in whilst I’m down in Melb. We’re ever grateful for their support. If you’re interested in buying a new car (or demo) feel free to DM me and I’ll help you get in touch with them - even if interstate.
