We hope all of you have a great holiday season and wonderful Christmas. Thanks so much for being part of the Cycling News community in 2025 and beyond!
Being sick of Boe was fair enough. Being sick of a new person emerging and shooting the lights out, a new name to shake things up at the top just because of where they were born, is weird.
I do wonder why more Norwegians don't pick a country of convenience to allow them to compete at the highest levels where possible. If you are top 15 in the world, it's absurd that being number 5 in your country holds you back.
I think the nordic combined is going to be A LOT more competitive this year without Riiber. Nobody likes to see illness take out an all time great, but he was just far far too good.
