I've never seen this before: is it a tradition?

Very cool! Thanks for posting that!

Aww, I'm gonna miss Geschke, the way he looked with his beard reminded me a bit of a garden gnome. (That's not a slight, I love garden gnomes!)

Would like to share your favourite gnome with us?

Jose Rujano just informed on Instagram that former Selle Italia teammate Marlon Perez has died!

Apparently Perez has been stabbed to death.
😰

Right now details of the murder are extremely sketchy, one cycling site says it was a robbery, another says it was an altercation with a person known to Perez. Hopefully the police and media in Colombia can be trusted with a proper investigation and reporting...

RIP Perez

The 2 things that I saw say he was stabbed in the neck while out having drinks, fire department medical personnel responded and he died at the hospital. Neither thing says that they have a suspect or anyone in custody.J

Bit of a sad time of year for cycling fans—road season coming to an end and careers coming to a close.

Tom Devriendt retires. Not surprisingly, he's been suffering from Crohn's the past few months.

Gotta be tough to do long rides with that ailment.

I've got it, for methat's not really the main issue.
It's just very tiring and it drains your reserves. You just don't have the energy (at least in my case)

Yeah, I know it’s more than the “toilet humor” aspects and like most inflammatory diseases, has systemic effects that can have a bigger impact. Sorry you have to deal with that.
