🇮🇹 Giulio Pellizzari emerges as Italy’s new hope under Roglic’s guidance

🗣️ “I learned so much from him and I was so happy to ride next to him. I hope we keep racing together next year. Maybe even two or three years depending on what Primož wants.”

What the hell 💀

Not that I’m very familiar with European/DUI laws but that feels pretty lenient?
Gaviria caught drink driving, was 5 times over legal limit when caught at lunchtime last month. Presiding judge says he was "1-2 glasses away from a coma" and that it took until midnight until he was sober enough to be detained properly. Gaviria plead guilty and gets 2 year suspended prison sentence
En marge de l'annonce de son transfert chez Caja Rural, Monaco-Matin rapporte que Fernando Gaviria a été condamné ce mardi à 2 mois de prison avec sursis pour conduite sous l’empire d’un état alcoolique. Les faits sont survenus en pleine journée, en octobre dernier.

Fun national cyclocross race nearby yesterday, on roads I use for gravel. Took the time to train some technique which was not always a success 😉 But still made some pretty pictures, for more see flic.kr/s/aHBqjCBNaW

He ended up outside the top 10, but that was still easily Strohmeyer’s best (elite) European performance so far, really exciting

All due respect to Van Gils, but I don’t think he’d be leader anymore if all of the tweet is true and Remco is starting MSR too lmao

Nice to see Van der Haar apply the same approach as his cross races to his whole cross season this year; I was worried initially we wouldn’t see him much after the first few races bc he understandably said he struggled to motivate (hence retirement), but he’s so back

I remember thinking last year Mason was a bit overhyped because British + online. Very glad to be proven wrong and see him bounce back after just an off-year. Kaman 👀🔥

Alexander Kristoff said that he has retired now having never broken a bone during his career.

For a sprinter, that is astonishing.

Lucinda Brand has now reached 50 consecutive podium finishes on the CX bike. By my calculations, the pro women's record belongs to Marianne Vos (obvs), at just 51, only two more podiums and Brand tops the GOAT.

(Van der Poel? 66. Brand could do it outright this season...)
