    UCI to ban supertuck descending starting April 1st.

    It's not for safety reasons. It better not. It's for pure aesthetic reasons, and all the better for it. Any proper cycling connaisseur can't have this ridiculous style take hold. People who want to do this should stay on Zwift.

    Digital Swiss 5

    I must say I am in complete bewilderment why people are following this. Does anyone know the age/country demographics of the audience?

    Giro dell'Emilia 2019, one day race, October 5

    Bologna is more picturesque though. Otherwise you're right. I seem to remember Milano Torino and Tre Valli being superior races in recent years.

    2019 UCI Road World Championships Men's Road Race : 284.5km

    Hear Hear. Every year we hope for a rainy Paris Roubaix, now finally we get a WC race that delivers on the weather conditions.

    Vinokourov and Kolobnev facing prison over 2010 Liege

    Please spare a though for us imbeciles who bet a decent amount of money then on the perpetual WC runner-up Kolobnev.

    Teams & Riders Transfers and Rumours 2019 > 2020

    Now Brambilla seemingly is linked to them. If will be a running joke to the world both in- and outside cycling if this team gets a green light from the UCI. UCI might as well invite blood centrifuge producers in as sponsors as well...

    They don't care about Orban of course. But Varjas is maybe another matter.

    Teams & Riders Transfers and Rumours 2019 > 2020

    Supported by Viktor Orban, no less. Stefano Varjas on board as well. UCI is probably going to think twice when the application land.

    Tour of Denmark 2019

    Generally I have a lukewarm feeling for most stage races, unless they are the big three, or Tour of the Basque Country.

    Tour of Denmark 2019

    Would be incredible if this idea will materialize. They can scrap the TOD on the same occasion, even as this year's edition has been allright so far, it always feels a bit provincial.

    Teams & Riders Coolest Names in the Peloton*

    Hard to translate the comedic aspect. But Trææn means something like "TRAAIN!", as in the verb "to train".

    Teams & Riders Coolest Names in the Peloton*

    Norwegian Torstein Trææn was in a solo break yesterday in Tour of Denmark. Some Danes would probably find his name absolutely hilarious.
