I just saw that I hadn't replied. I def typed an answer here but somehow must have forgot to send it 😅

Alas, I still don't know :/

Thank you so much and I'm glad you do! 🙏

I also wrote about the situation between The Rift and the Gravel Earth Series.

Why did they break up? Why is Cuckoo Iceland a better name than you might think (unless you're into ornithology)? What's the (big) deal with "by The Traka"?

The highest-potential-impact rumor in gravel rn is the alleged move of Keegan to Specialized.

If it came fruition, how would it affect the upcoming season? To answer that, I did a bit of scenario planning.

But I also don't think learning the intricacies of the LTGP in a supporting role for the quadruple champ would be a bad learning experience?

NBA analogy incoming: do you prefer the top draft pick going to run the show for the Kings or learning the game for the Spurs?

I looked into her for a soon-to-drop piece and agree, especially mid-term. Her performances this year wd have placed her mid-pack in the main GP. The growth potential is big. If she makes a jump right away (possible!), she may compete for top spots right away.

Of course. We already know that stuff is also changing on the women's side with e.g. Gee joining the team and more moves to come. If they'd want to give Sofia a proper domestique, Ruth could be the obvious choice.

In that context, I'm curious about what happens to Tobin and whether or not they'll also have actual Domestiques.
