CyclingNews compares the latest 40c offering from Pirelli. It's a long
and well-written article, whether you agree with the findings or not.

Also (seperate issue) notice the greater than and less than symbols
wrapped around the URL.  If you don't want the URL mangled by a
browser line length limitation, add them when posting a URL.

 I think I know what's happening.  When you first replied to the
original message, your Mozilla Thunderbird browser took the rather
long URL and word wrapped it into 3 lines of gibberish.  When you
retried, the browser is reading the original web server response
instead to getting a fresh copy.  You can either flush the web cache
or force a page refresh in your browser.  I don't know which browser
you're using so I can't offer a specific procedure.  This covers most
browsers:
 "How to hard refresh your browser and clear your cache"
<https://fabricdigital.co.nz/blog/how-to-hard-refresh-your-browser-and-clear-cache>
 Note that you want want to ONLY flush the web page cache.  If your web
browser also offers to also clear history, cookies, site setting,
saved info, saved form info, etc, uncheck everything EXCEPT the web
cache and cached files.  Some browsers become confused if the web
cache grows too large.
  

Aside from our comments, I think Mr Slocumb had it with his tinyurl suggestion.
