I naturally inched forward on the saddle ... when you are riding full gas and hanging off the end of the saddle.

My other problem - that seems to be my normal riding position. I find I pull myself forward all the time. Good thing my nought hasn't got saddle sores. THAT could be painful.
I'd agree with you, but then we'd both be wrong.

Sorry to wander off topic to the racing, but Basso just got dropped going over a bridge Posted Image
I did everything by the seat of my pants. That's why I got hurt so much.

early days to make a call on AC, still a long way to go and if schleck has not learned to change gears properly, anything could happen. I am hoping against hope that Rabobank have a good tour, they have supported cycling through thick and thin and never seem to come up with a big tour win. Would also like to see Europcar have a good TdF, Voeckler makes for exciting racing and they are riding Colnago this year :rolleyes:

Ye, I would also like to see Voeckler do something, and for Gesink to do well, and Jurgen Van den Broeck.
