    Well it's clearly not the only way to deal with them. If their conduct is unacceptable you can fine them or move them on.

    Agbonlahor has also been fined two weeks wages - totalling over £100,000 - with Villa concluding their investigation into the suspended striker's conduct,

    Gabby Agbonlahor is expected to remain an Aston Villa player after turning down a move to Reading this summer.

    Whats your next diplomatic solution?

    Oh - and wouldn't being a "man" involve standing up for yourself, rather than bending over and taking it because it suits the boss?  Just a thought.

     

    You trying to say Postma's not a real man :suspect:

    Yes I would. That's what I'm saying. Power to weight ratio doesn't matter. With the same power to weight ratio, at a constant speed, the object with more power is going faster 

    :crylaugh:

    Your still getting the same output power in both your examples, so no, your not going faster.The extra power from input is going into turning the load.

    I wouldn't be so patronising if I was that bad at thinking I knew it all.

    Taking greater contact friction out of it, if I was 200kg and you were 100kg yet I was pushing 500w and you 250w, I would be twice as fast. Hence, power to weight ratio isn't important in track cycling, it's all about power. This is the basic physics, have a read up

    No you wouldn't. 

    Power to weight ratio= power (watts) : weight (kg) 

    500:200=2.5

    250:100=2.5.

    Someone's a little rusty ;)

    They're made out of carbon fibre because it's the best overall material for a variety of reasons, weight isn't high on the list compared to strength and aerodynamics. Do you really think track bikes need brakes and gears?

    Power to weight only becomes a factor during acceleration. To maintain speed, the weight doesn't really come into it. Therefore, as I said, power to weight not important in track cycling. See the low weight of road climbers vs the build of Chris Hoy / Robert Forstemann etc.

    Which is absolutely critical in track cycling. 

    These guys are very rarely at top speed. It's all about maximum power and minimum weight.

    How can you even argue this? It's basic physics.

    Power to weight ratio not important in track cycling, you just need power output so bigger units will always be better.

    :suspect:

    The heavier the load the more power required to perform the work.

    They don't make these bikes out of carbon fibre and remove the brakes and gears for the fun of it :P

  6. It's going to be a long season watching these scraps on C5. Can't draw anything from any game as they're only showing the goals! Not even the nice bit of skirt can save this shambles. 

  7. Well after Hoy talking about us getting in their slip stream, that was much closer than expected. I thought we blew at 7 tenths down at one point! thankfully the Aussies ran out of steam.

    Sir Bradley, Sir Chris, Sir Steve. Three amazing men right there.
