Wont Tyler get a lifetime ban from the UCI for this?

Either that or one for the man bun.

You'd think that all of Ho's product testing would have had some effect by now. :)

Getting caught up with the races. The sounds of racing... Makes it feel a bit like summer.

Michael Woods is having a pretty great race in Aus.

6 Giant Alpecin riders in hospital after being hit by a car in Spain, one serious condition

The picture (in the below link) looks terrible. Fingers crossed for all involved.

Caused by a UK lady on the wrong side of the road. Much like Kent then.

Update is a bit more optimistic (as optimistic as possible in this scenario).

I'm sad that Geraint would rather focus on stage racing than the classics. Sky probably have the luxury of letting him pursue what he wants. They can afford for him to build his season around March-April. Froome and Landa for GC backed up from Poels, Nieve, Kennaugh, Roche is a strong unit. He must have a personal prefernce for grand tours though

He does, have a personal preference. I asked him straight out once. Said its about the tours not classics for him.

Degenkolb has had to have a finger stitched back on :(

She was probably busy doing 'er lippy

My statement wasn't limited to one gender but rather the general attitude of UK drivers and their apparently limited skill whenever dealing with other non car driving road users is required.

Shite, all of them. #genderequal

Left index. Hope all goes well for him.

Caleb Ewan's position on the bike when sprinting is pretty remarkable

That's ridiculous.

he will eventually hit a bump in the road (figuratively and literally) and that will be the end of that position
