anabolic steroids

Ahem. 'Contaminated supplememts'. /euph

Her steroids were contaminated with supplements?

You might think that, I couldn't possibly comment...

Is it perspective or are they genuinely nearly in up to their discs there? Together with those pics up thread of people knee deep in mud... is ‘cross actually just that ridiculous?

Nah, fake news. The sand slopes towards the water creating the illusion.

Yep, on that section the tyres were barely breaking the surface. Eminently rideable. If hard work.

great race imo. sad that ceylin never seemingly managed to recover from her crash on the first (!) corner. only way it could have been improved would have been for honsiger to podium

Agreed, although I suspect she was never going to find that course really suited her. Pity, because she's a very stylish rider.

She looks more aero so still then the rider in front.

Fabio aru is racing worlds today. My pick for the surprise top spot :)

Vedstack ™

He's not. He trained with the long squad but then either wasn't chosen or declined a spot. He's definitely not on the official start list.

This photo is from 2014 and yesterday's result now means every rider in it has been World Champion on the road or in cyclocross (and Vos and Ferrand-Prevot have won both).

:(

Fans of ageing world tour riders have still got Heinrich Haussler to cheer for.

And Styby. Last row of the grid for him, alongside Haussler.

Isn't Carlos Betancur riding?

Asking on behalf of @Mickie_Cricket.

He should troll Movistar and qualify for their e-sports team...

Isn’t e-sports all about watts per kilogram?

He's more in to Horse riding these days.

Well, shame on him for abandoning Betancur.

what row is valverde on

Grand Prix La Marseillaise also on today. Road bikes!! Racing!!

What time do the cx races start at? I can't find it with a quick Google
