Personally, I would be amazed if Kristoff weighed much more than 78kg.

According to Procycling this month, Kittel weighed around 90kg when he was doing grand tours and winning stages.

QHUBEKA ASSOS BECOMES QHUBEKA NEXTHASH, ADDS BURBERRY AS SPONSORSHIP PARTNER

"Shortly after the announcement of a new title sponsor, the team also announced that luxury fashion brand Burberry will also be coming aboard as a sponsorship partner."

I, for one, look forward to that jersey

Is TdGent done? Or worth putting in a fantasy team?

Good luck, Assos cba to release a proper version of the previous Qhubeka jersey (and the rest) despite being title sponsor :(

I think these rare big guys are the exceptions that prove the rule. MVDP looks huge compare to most of the peloton yet he's 1cm shorter than me and only 1kg more* despite his dreamy shoulders. If he walked into a pub, no one would notice him at all.

*hella lot less body fat though

Doesn't have your breadth of cycling talent either.

Nexthash is a godawful company name.

Def. worth learning German to listen to Paul Voss talk for 30min about the German road race in Stuttgart last weekend that Schachmann won and how he placed twentieth for Team Besenwagen.

Highlight from the feed zone, the pro team rider really unhappy (throwing them away) about the gels his parents are handing him.

Fully hyping myself up by watching the Team Presentation. Highlights so far are the breakdancing, massively sweary backing track to the uninspiring flatland BMX section and presenting the teams in order of apparent quality.

Besenwagen

He's like 9ft tall though, right?

I think it would be a lot nicer if the interlinked logo continued onto the left pec panel. Feels like a bit of a miss

It’s a bit…motorsport. In a bad way.

He didn't do much at the Giro this year...

Enjoying listening to Sean Kelly gate crash the winner’s interview with his sound check

Lachlan morton doing the entire tour bike packing.... Including riding the transfers

begs the question; why?

Exposure. And charity, but that’s also for exposure probably. Why are 200 riders paid to ride 3200km around France?

So they can promote wholsesome states like Bahrain, UAE, Israel, Kazakhstan.

MVDP in the poupou kit today I see

Alpecin Fenix kit is super

What's the rumors about what vino was booted for?
