Here is a really sweet article about the relationship between Louis Vervaeke and his wife Astrid Collinge.

It's probably to prevent "The Clinic". With less races cycling will be more healthy for the riders.Dunno where else to post this/too lazy to search for a more appropriate thread...
Apparently there's a new rule that riders are only allowed to have 85 race days per year… that is *** stupid! If a rider wants to ride as many races as he possibly can, let him! He's the one who's going to be tired!
Do teams put pressure on riders to race more than 85 days?
Six riders on the Vuelta start list have 65 or more race days, which means they will surpass 85 days if they finish the race...No, but a rider might want to. Basically the way I heard about it was Lars Bak saying that the main reason he wasn't doing Tour of Denmark was because then he'd only have one race day left.

The way it is implemented for Women's WT in 2020 is that national team appearances don't count for their max 75 days.No, but a rider might want to.

What about those who do multi disciplines, how many races has MvDP done including MB and CC?
