smh.com.aurichest 1 per cent own half the worlds wealth report 20151015 gkaide.htmlOpen ↗
I'm not exactly sure how that wealth is calculated, I mean I owe far more money to the gov't and banks than I have; but I do own a 19yo van, some 5+yo computers , a bunch of old bikes, a rented houseful of cheap furniture, with a backyard full of plumbing [censored]. Oh yeah, some decent tools too.
But there's a chance I'm in the top 50% of the world's wealthiest still, with as little as AU$4.4k in assets. Surprising how easy it is to be in the top 1% worldwide with less than AU$1million in assets, let alone top 10%.

hmm.
Oh alright fine. It was 80s night againhere. There was better earlier, but we did end up here.

I need to sleep.

Mmm, custard.

Bikes at the Kona Ironman. Jeez, Cervelo have really got their marketing wizardry entrenched in the tri-hardlete world. I suppose it's dominated by North American brands, hence all the Felts, Treks and Specializeds, along with the Cervelos. But only 4 Colnagos?

A lot of the Cervelo's numbers come from the dominance they built in the TT and Tri world about 10 years ago, from there it's just a case of brand loyalty. Brands like Cervelo, Specialized and Trek post their marketing/wind tunnel data on websites respected by the Tri folk like Slowtwitch.com and because of this a lot of the people that race at Kona think that Colnago's were bikes that were ace during the reign of Eddy Merckx but really don't have a place in today's world.

Speaking of which, apart from cyclocross, who was the last guy to win anything big on a Colnago - Sarroni in 82 at the Worlds? LOLz.

The "Big Unit" Vs Seagull

What's that phrase again? Birds of a feather explode together?

Randy was booked on an animal cruelty charge but Police did end up dropping the charges. It was with some humour that Randy used the incident in his company logo after retiring from baseball:

Knee length Hi-Viz socks???? No.

Straya cash mayte! A few of many:

It certainly was! Edge of the seat stuff at the end. Seagulls seem to have a bit of form at Phillip Island (Lorenzo collected one in his fairing a couple of years back). Moto3 was totally insane too.

I'm back from Philip Island slightly sunburnt but otherwise in one piece. Took the mixte and rode to and from the track each day. By far the fastest mode of transport - beats queuing for the bus and then sitting in said bus in a traffic jam.

Yeah, it's a staggering dominance by Cervelo there.
Didn't Mapei with all them Pari-Roubaix on Colnagos? I suppose that was 20 years ago :P
I reckon there's a lot more, but I can't think off the top of my head
