I have spent several days convinced Ballerup was a city in Australia

You ballsed that up.

MTB racers have been doing it for years, not sure why gravel seems to think it invented privateer racing

Yeah, but those MTB privateers don't have the purity of soul that gravel privateers have.

Fair point... too much gnar, not enough IPA and cute dogs?

Like @ough says, it's Gotham Black. Logo is an svg btw

Needs the number changed to 696969 or 000-531-000 or something.

Maybe just the number of my local kebab shop?

How do the team pursuiters manage to synchronise their pedal strokes? Do they all have to use the same size chainring? Incredible to watch. The training must be a bit tricky.

The Japanese track helmets are stunning. Proper art. Could have been designed by Jeff Koons. If I had one I would wear it around the house and stare at myself in the mirror.

Milan absolute beast taking the wr, but seeing Bigham in the flesh riding techically perfect, every corner on or onder the black line 🙌

Not a bad qualifying round.

Milan then took the world record off him as he won the final. But a very solid performance for a 21 year old.

3 race suspension for iserbyt.

And a CHF2.5k fine.

Aroogah!! Women's Madison on BBC2. 112 km to go.

Well, damn. Incredible effort from Archibald. But could she have won if she hadn't been on the front too much early on?

I've been hoping to see some wins from Chiara Consonni, following on from her Olympic gold. But maybe she's just not that good....her gold was a surprise, it was mostly about being in the right place at the right time.

Hayter like a boss on the elimination race

Outstanding ride by Anna Morris in the individual pursuit. Edge of your seat stuff.

Aroogah!! Women's Madison

How did @Aroogah get into the women's madison, then?
