Amazing how the pro/WT reaction went from: "irresponsible journalism"
To
"We've never used it"
To
"We've stopped using it"
To
"Other teams are abusing it so it needs to be banned".
Almost like the sport has learned nothing in the last 30 years.
All this talk of crank length got me thinking… what else might we be blindly following tradition on, but also, why we shouldn’t just hop on every trend. Be sceptical, but open to change youtu.be/9-JnizNt6iI?si=4S0H… via @YouTube
Anybody else looking at willow and wondering how many ultra fine mesh CFD runs you could do in a septillion years worth of super computing? 😂
Sometimes, reporting on UCI regs feels like banging your head against a wall. But there’s a clear line between Escape’s reporting on CO this summer and the UCI’s initial step to ban it today. If this new rule is enacted, it could quite literally save lives

Is this leaked Colnago aero bike a custom fit for Pogačar?

So, what have we learned from @UCI_cycling in the past few months?….
Stopping to greet your family on a TT stage of Le Tour = bad for the image of the sport
Penalising a clear rule violation, endangering spectators, & gaining an advantage - also bad for the image of the sport
Just had practically 5 weeks off the bike… to my surprise I managed to 1) get up on time to meet the group this morning 2) convinced myself I wanted to ride 3) got ready and 4) even got out the door in time, then rolled up the street…. Di2 battery dead 🤦♂️🪫… 6 weeks it is
Credit where it’s due… the staff on @Ryanair flight Rk9559 from ALC-BFS last night (& Ryanair policies) were freaking fantastic with my daughters nut allergies & great in general. I can’t overstate how much that helps alleviate the stress of flying with allergies 🙌

Both Canyon’s new helmets feature that new HighBar mono-strap thing
Now, having spent two months in the helmets, @ronanmclaughlin is in a spin questioning everything of straps new and old.
