Some surprising names already in great shape, wonder if it's too soon as it is Olympics season and many top guns will target Paris for their peak form... Glad to see Nino got rid of that eye infection.
Also anyone knows what happened to Loana? Looked like she started to struggle a bit and then gave up during one of the steep climbs...

Some fabulous racing; I laugh at all the roadies moaning about boring racing, when there's classic close racing taking place the same day.........
Funnily enough, the men's Araxa race reminded me of the 2020 2nd Nove Mesto XCO race won by Avancini - when the top 5 were separated by a few seconds........and was on the same day as the Covid era LBL.

You're so right for men on the road, but women's road this season has been cracking.

First DHI World Cup, from Fort William this weekend.
In other news, Evie will miss the Euros due to concussion after her crash in the XCC race in Araxa; but was allowed to race the XCO race the following day.........What's that all about?
Joe Blackmore is included in the team for the U23 race......One wonders if his fabulous road performances will be seen also on the MTB?

Well Blackmore has said he wants to continue to ride offraid this season, but he has just been promoted to the main Israel Premier Tech team which may change things.
Yeah, I wondered that too; he's doing Tro Bro Leon this weekend. You'd hope they'd allow him to fulfill planned off-road races, at least for this season.
I think it's interesting he thinks missing the CX season has benefitted him.......allowing him more road work training.

similar to Raelini in Vuelta few days ago... was allowed to get on the bike even when she clearly struggled to walk straight. next day she DNS due to concussion... crazy stuff regarding the concussions in pro peloton...
And both part of Trek..........not great in all honesty.
The DH ladies have pushed the "no aero suits" rule to the point that there clearly isn't a rule anymore. Seagraves and Hoffmann are wear full on aero suits and Holl isn't too far off (her rainbow jersey has a little extra fabric). GREAT runs by all three of them though!
EDIT: Seagraves referred to her kit as "the speed suit" in an interview.
Homer Hat: Newkurk had a solid run.
