Sep Vanmarcke has broken his wrist riding a gravel race. Just what his team needs.
I have a cross bike now so maybe I'll humiliate myself.

Par for the course surely for Israel Premier Tech... underperforming end-of-career rider does something that doesn't help at all

Spring classics are over, maybe Sep just wanted to put his feet up for a bit.

will melling, come ride NCN21 with us!

Name this band.

Does this mean there is going to be a pit at the foot of the climb??

Sounds bonkers and right up my street . A bit like when they employed the local motorcycle club who rocked up in a layby not knowing what to do .
Man bike shoulder backsy simples .

GVA is calling it a day at the end of the season. I think I'll miss him more than Sagan.

Picking up Floyd Landis vibes here.

I see Jorgenson, having said he spent all his wages this year on extra training and equipment, has rowed back a bit today to say that Movistar is really a good place to develop. Jay Vine did an interesting interview too about the massive advantages of being at a top team. Fans might not like the concentration of talent at Ineos and Jumbo and UAE but you can see why riders go there.

Lidl are going to be headline sponsor for Trek at TDF.

Jan Tratnik crashed in training today and is out of the Giro. Tom Gloag will replace him.

Jumbo Visma aren't having much luck in the build up to this Giro.

Getting tempted to bin off Primoz from my fantasy team.
