Pffft, like Alonso or not.. that video displays superb driving qualities. What the **** does it matter if it looks strange? Obviously it was the fastest way around the track at that point...!!
I've never been an Alonso fan, but some comments in this thread "border on ridiculous".
Edit: on-topic I hope Ferrari is able to strike back this weekend otherwise I very much doubt they will be able to stop Lewis this year!

Wowch... now that's sad..! 
As for Ray, when I started LFS Cyber was the team to beat. I've always looked up against your drivers and manager and learnt a lot from both. I remember when we did our first MoE race, Petri was the first to help a noob team out with strategy planning and other tips. So, however strange this might sound coming from me, I will miss the races that you set the benchmark for all other teams to achieve. I will miss your skins and website and I hope not all of your drivers will be lost for LFS.
Good luck to all of you

Agreed.
Hamilton, Kubica and Vettel for me. But if I had to choose one it's Vettel: kicking Bourdais' ass hard, and even makes it hard for the two RBR drivers (Coulthard who?). Born winner!
Very, indeed!
Congrats Grandpa Holmberg!
private bool isNumeric(string val, System.Globalization.NumberStyles NumberStyle)
{
Double result;
System.Globalization.CultureInfo c = new System.Globalization.CultureInfo("en-US");
c.NumberFormat.CurrencyDecimalSeparator = ".";
return Double.TryParse(val, NumberStyle, c, out result);
}
Try that?
Yesterday's final was nothing compared to today's, what an awesome fight between Barredo and Burghardt!

Nice video Steven! And congrats with the 5 year anniversary PM!

That's it
Thank god, no butt creams for me!
Hmm ok, like said I will pick up my new bike tomorrow, let's hope that saddle suits me better then!
I use it....
Ok, that helps!
Should be one level up from Sora
Haha nice one!
God yeah, spinning... hell!
Good tip! You know.. I still have that, even when my first ride is a long time ago! I just don't understand how these Tour de France guys can sit on their bikes for three weeks in a row.
I have quite expensive padded shorts (lycra :shy but that doesn't make much difference... Any ideas on something else I can try?Lol, damn right! Main reason I'm going for a Tiagra triple now! At least I hope they're a bit better!
Alright
Then I think xaotik has mentioned the most important points for that checklist. Just make sure you're feeling comfortable on the bike.. some basic rules there are: make sure your saddle is set to hip height, and your legs should be almost (but not completely!) stretched when the pedal is in the lowest position.. a vital point there is that your frame size should be suitable for your length. I'm 1.78 and have a frame size of 56cm... I'll try to see if there's a formula for this.I have to say I really liked the triple deck on my Bianchi for the simple reason that it comes in very handy on steep climbs (yes, even in Holland we have a couple!). If the duathlon course doesn't contain steep climbs, a double deck should do the job
Edit: damn everyone so fast today I might as well stop posting!

Depends on what you call knowledge...
I just sold my old race bike, a 2006 model Bianchi Via Nirone 7 equipped with Shimano Sora shifting and braking parts. Will pick up my new new bike tomorrow: a 2008 model Cube Aerial with Shimano Tiagra shifting parts and Sora brakes.
I'm not sure on which level you'd like to do this duathlon, but I'd say that one of the two (entry class) bikes I described above are more than good enough to pull a good pace on an amateur level (so far I've found I'm still the weakest link, rather than the bike :P). I've done two quite successful triathlons a long time ago and did them both on a mountainbike... In my opinion it all depends on the level of your competitors and the level that you're aiming to achieve for yourself.
What I know from specific triathlon bikes is that they are normally a bit more expensive. They are pretty much time-trial bikes, very stiff and aerodynamic frame (normally ful carbon), solid rims, sometimes a closed rear rim (for better aerodynamics) and most importantly: a triathlon steer (with arm rests).
Cube's cheapest (new) triathlon bike is the Aerium Pro..
What distances is the duathlon you're looking at?
[Edit] bogey wins
[Edit2] ok, cheap as possible! go for a second-hand bike?

Bah, the complete Saunier Duval team didn't start this stage 
Only have a picture of my helmet in action
It's a Bayard SP-60 Hawk. I use it mainly for karting and for track days. Chose it because I like the matt paint and the colors made me think of Raïkkönen's helmet. Costed me €129,- excluding the silver visor.

My guess is you have to try and polish your lines so that you have less tyre rub.
Have a look at the world record replays to see if there's any difference between your and their lines:

Or maybe even better: try uploading a hotlap and use the hotlap analyzer to see the differences in detail:
