Racer struck by driver during Arizona State Championships dies
Jeremy Barrett, 58, succumbs to his injuries

Very sad and awful this is..
Osborne has won the silver medal with his rowing partner Rommelmann after a hard fight with the favorites of Ireland.Osborne is a monster. I really hope he gives road racing a crack after Tokyo.
Shame. As a Comasco I like it a lot more the other way around...Il Lombardia to be raced from Como To Bergamo on October 9
The last Classic Monument of the season this year will start from Como and will end in Bergamo
After four editions that ended in Como, Bergamo will host the finish line of the 115th edition of Il Lombardia presented by Eolo, which will start from the city of Como.
The Classic of the Dead Leaves, scheduled for Saturday 9 October and organized by RCS Sport, closes the season of great international cycling.
All the details and the route of the last Classic Monument of the year will be revealed in a press conference to be held in September.

A reminder of the route in 2016:

This is objectively probably the best route you can have, but if we get something like 2014 I'll probably puke in my mouth a bit.Il Lombardia to be raced from Como To Bergamo on October 9

Don't know those climbs so don't know how that would look.You can have Valcava -> Resegone -> Valpiana as the last three major climbs with the finish in Bergamo, but I think that's more for a Giro stage (looking at you, 2017).
Valcava is the big climb in the profile above, Valpiana has been used several times in Lombardia and once in the Giro together with Resegone (1988). The latter is almost a loop inserted between the two other climbs, chained like in the 80s (the end of the descent of Valpiana is as close to Bergamo Alta as the end of the descent of Selvino):Don't know those climbs so don't know how that would look.
Yeah true. The 2016 parcours worked very well IMO, although I didn't actually get to see the race.Valcava is the big climb in the profile above, Valpiana has been used several times in Lombardia and once in the Giro together with Resegone (1988).

EDIT: Here I have mapped it. But it's more of a Giro stage:

Once you get past the 20ies movie villain mustache you have to appreciate him as an athlete.I couldn't find an appropriate thread for this in the track forum (maybe I didn't look hard enough), but Ashton Lambie has just broken the 4 minute barrier in the individual pursuit in Mexico. It was quite close though.
Ashton Lambie breaks four-minute pursuit barrier
Lambie set a new world record with a time of 3:59.93.cyclingtips.com
I don't think that it will be recognized considering there wasn't an actual race, he just went there by himself and rode alone so isn't even an actual pursuit. If you check the UCI website and their twitter feeds there is no mention at all.
Yeah, you could say that basically it's a 4 Kms best human effort.So... it's just a 4 K ITT on the track?

A piece of paper that could be printed even by a kid and just say "4 km world record" without mentioning the individual pursuit that (page 15 of the PDF you posted) is defined as "Two cyclists compete in a fixed distance. The riders start on opposite sides of the track. The winner is determined by either catching the other rider or recording the fastest time."From the way I understand the regulations, you just need to have the attempt authorised by the UCI beforehand.
I mean they printed out a piece of paper. Surely it can't get anymore offcial than this!

For sure they are asking for a verification, what i doubt is UCI ratifying it, even considering that is possible doing it alone the procedure to have a recognised record (pages 74-77) looks pretty strict and after two days there is still no mention from UCI that always publish press releases and tweets when there is a record.(I was being sarcastic about the piece of paper, if it wasn't clear)
That sentence covers the competition rules, but If you look at the section regarding world record attempts, it doesn't say anything about it. And at least people seem to assume that it will be verified, but we'll just have to wait and see.

The UCI calender for next year has been updated with the (W)WT. One of the changes from previous years is that Tirreno - Adriatico will be held two days earlier (Monday to Sunday) and thus completely overlap Paris - Nice.
