On gloves. I wonder if those used in XC skiing or biathlon would work well? Especially biathlon where you need a lot of dexterity and you can't let your hands get numb. As someone who lives in an area with cold and wet winter, I find most cycling specific gloves are terrible. Either too bulky or...

Vanthourenhout knows how to win and how to ham it up for the crowd. And there is clearly a beef with Kamp. I doubt he pulls the same shenanigans with anyone else.

Ah, I thought it was a more recent race that I had missed. One of the mid week events.

Where can I find this race? I am in the US, so finding CX racing is a real challenge.

Will anyone challenge Brand this year? I can't tell if she is really that good, or all the best competition is out with injury or otherwise. The rest of the field can only challenge her if they ride a perfect race. I would like to see Ryan Kamp win something, but he doesn't seem to ride like...

Need to have 3 expensive streaming services just to watch racing in the US. Its a joke, streams can be really bad as well. 240p quality some days. I really miss GCN+ and a VPN to watch every single race.

In this race the final selection more often than not doesn't come from an attack, but from the group resting between sectors and a handful of riders pressing on and getting a gap. I could see Pedersen or Kung winning by not relaxing and then either being in a small group sprint, or attacking...

Auburn, WA? I live pretty close to that area, never heard of the Fondo. Met him once at Metier in Seattle when he was still riding for Axeon-HB.

I don't understand the tactics on display from these teams and riders. After Mads was solo and they had come through the pluggestrasse, the peleton should have just ridden a tempo to maintain the gap around 60-90 seconds and stay together as much as possible until they were through with the...

Very impressed with Ganna. Rode with a lot of grinta. Was really rooting for him in the sprint, but MVDP knows how to win those small group sprints.

They really need to find a way to separate the junior women into their own race. Even if it means a tiny field. But it is a shame the elite women constantly have 40min races due to this rule. Amateur races where I live get 45mins minimum!

I got FloSports for the CX season, and it looks like they have a pretty good selection of Road Racing as well. The Event Replay page always has spoilers which is very annoying, but there is a workaround to avoid seeing them. The BIG problem is FloSports doesn't have any Italian races! Does...

Dan Lloyd and Magnus Backstedt commenting on the cobbled races is great. The two of them seem to know every nook and cranny of Belgium and really add a lot to watching the race.

I've been thinking a bit about the Pass Interference penalty and a lot of the calls that have happened over the past few weeks. It can really change the momentum of a game and I really think needs to stop being a spot foul. Passes aren't always caught and to assume that any PI call would have...

The Browns continue to impress me with all the ways they find to avoid winning. It must take some super talent to continuously snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
