Kurt's approach, riding at higher speeds in a more aggressive position on a Cervelo TT bike might put him at greater risk of traffic incidents.

Indeed, can't be too good for his back either

I have not read all the thread.
Kurt has realised that I am more capable than he thought and has changed his plan.
He is now a lot more dangerous than he was.
What he is doing is watching what I do and adding a bit on. He is copying me and is known for copying his rivals.
However. He currently has weather on his side. I loseabout 10 miles a day getting dressed for cold weather and am losing speed because of risk of ice.
I will launch an attack when things improve like when I rode to Yorkshire and he had no answer tothat.
I reckon by late Spring Kurt may run out of options and I hope to be catching him back up by then.

We need to rig up some kind of app for teethgrinder's phone to let him post without getting off the bike :-)

Good tactic for now to concentrate on not falling off and getting injured, I'd say. One that Tarzan might like to follow...

Is it possible to have one thread dedicated to "Teethgrinder speaks" where Steve can post messages, and ANOTHER for reaction to those posts?

Fighting talk!

We all know Steve to be such a Thoroughly Nice Guy that it's easy to forget you need a real sportman's drive and ambition to attempt such an undertaking. Great to see his Ruthless Competitive Streak showing itself. :thumbsup:

Spot on.

Your tactics have been impressive, Steve.  Kurt's a wily rider, but it's pretty obvious what he's trying to do.  You've got the practical and psychological advantage cause his riding conditions aren't going to improve on what he's currently got, but you know you're hitting big numbers in cold and potentially icy conditions.

Go Steve!

That doesn't mean his riding can't/won't improve though - for all we know, he may be sandbagging.

Kurt was always intending to increase from his starting pace. If he gets stronger as the year rolls on then he will be a tough nut to crack.

It is far too early to be making predictions based on what we've seen.

I personally suspect Kurt is thinking something like "I will consistently bang out 200 miles a day until Steve starts to pick up his distance". 

He doesn't need to refer to Steve's exact daily distance, just be comfortable that Steve still isn't doing more than 200.

Steve's rides at the weekend surely put the willies up him though.

I reckon Steve can post where he pleases, tbh.  If you want to see all his posts then you can always view his profile and choose 'show posts'.
