I miss the old Koppenbergcross course with the start finish on the bottom and the steep cambered hairpins down through the field.

Didn't know the Diftar conti team got an upgrade to the world tour! Either that or Roompot are back.

Now showing Italian on mine as well as french.

Jan Willem van Schip. Currently rides for Park Hotel Valkenberg but in the past rode at pro conti level with Roompot, while also being an endurance track rider mainly in the madison I think. In the past he's had other handlebars to put him in an aerodynamic position but they've been banned and...

Well certainly for english comms they seem to be struggling for numbers at the moment with the amount solo, so I guess they don't have enough and don't feel it worth it. You'd have thought they'd at least have an it in Italian!

So Pauwels Sauzen have linked up with Soudal Quickstep and and AG Soudal which gives Leonie Bentveld and also it appears Viktor Vandenberghe the opportunity to ride for the teams respective devo teams. I wonder if this is a simple link for development or much further, such as Tim Merlier rides...

I've seen the comments here previously on Jez Cox, but not noticed until today the almost constant spiel of words with little gap between separate thoughts. Not really a complaint as generally it's something varied whereas others doing similar just seem to fill the time by repeating themselves.

Joe Blackmore is having a good first year on the road. Overall wins in Rwanda, Taiwan and now also the Circuit des Ardennes

I understand after listening to when she was on Matt Stephens' podcast, I think after doing (and winning in) virtually every discipline as a junior, she settled on Road and CX, with CX being her favourite.

And the ones that are then are also filtered down with them going to the road. Harry Birchill and Joe Blackmore spring to mind. In the other direction, Harriet Harnden now focuses more on Downhill and Enduro than XC or CX.

I don't know if Discovery are showing it, but I think there was confirmation from that the host broadcaster is showing it, unlike last year with NPO/NOS, so it should be available somewhere.

So judging by Jose Been's tweets, Carlton Kirby is starting his commentary season at Etoile de Besseges. In knowing that it's going to be covered by Eurosport/Discovery I went to look at the list o future races and once again it also appears Besseges is geoblocked in various places in Europe...

If you're referring to when he chased Van der Haar down, I also don't entirely get that. I realise overall positions were up for grabs between the two, however I still don't think he should've done it with Iserbyt an Van der Poel behind considering how Baloise Trek had been playing it the rest...

Course is similar but slightly different. No doesn't visit the bottom field and different order or direction with the woods. Alpecin have confirmed their development team for the 2024 road season. Theyve found room for Ryan Kamp on this and it seems the rider who's been 'sacrificed' is Mees...

GB not sending anyone other than those on UCI trade teams, or connections with one. Mason and Pidcock are racing which I think would've been a given, but Cat Furguson and Imogen Wolff are racing the junior world cup round. I guess they're in the top 3 of the series overall and will probably have...
