And they had the chance to have an Olympic medalist in an American jersey riding an American bike. Insane. It’s so off it almost feels like something went south behind the scenes that wasn’t money related.

It makes no sense. Specialized can afford to keep her and you couldn't have imagined a better racer and personality for your brand and for American cycling. There's got to be more to the story.

So with Rally-UHC Men's getting wild card "invites" to Flèche Wallonne and the Tour de Suisse, and the Women's squad already having raced the TDU... It's really only a matter of 1-2 years before this fairly well endowed team takes over a WT license. I just wonder if it will be EF Pro Cycling's or Dimension Data's. I imagine they will inherit either squad's bike sponsor as well.

People bitch about them, but I always enjoy these early Aussie races. I’m watching these lads ride up Chumbawumba Hill right now and I’m as fired up as the weird scallies running along side them.

Also lmao at Cadel riding them out in a Vegemite kit

I was listening to the podcast with Michiel Elijzen, the squad leader of Michael Goolaerts who died in last years Roubaix. It's heavily emotional but also in dutch, so I wont link it here, but it also mentions a short sporza youtube feature that has somewhat decent subtitles: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tSuQCMNkORo

Was that ever the point of the bio passport? It was supposed to be detecting if your biology changed in unusual enough ways, right?

Yeah, but is seems the spanish (lol) courts have decided that isn't enough grounds for 'proof' of cheating.

Trofeo Laigueglia was outstanding, too. And yes, I had to check three times on how to spell that.

On the flip side, first women's race of the European road season starts tomorrow and there's loving nothing for coverage as far as I can see.

I looked for the starting list yesterday and drew a blank, even as the teams were up on the stage for their presentation.
