ED at the National Cycling Institute Milton, recovering policy wonk, sometimes cycling journalist, brilliantly unsuccesful racer.

@andrew_leach Gee probably already ahead of Fraser. Bauer, Hesjedal, Tuft, Woods, Steida are the top five. Each of those guys won at the grand tour level (if you include TTT) and three have World Champ medals. No disrespect to Gord but he doesn’t breathe that rare air.

Junior/u19 racers don’t all have equal access to the fastest equipment. Here is why they should be forced to ride their road bikes in time trials:

@guzmannutrition @jensterew Smell test fail. And 130 cyclists to the Worlds. But not enough $ for the coach?

[🚴‍♀️ AnneGuzman - 🇨🇦 @guzmannutrition]

This makes no sense to me since the CCA just fired @jensterew (national team coach) for budget reasons? https://t.co/e608t3yXul

[Dr. Carla Edwards @Edwards10Carla]

BIG loss of an incredible athlete advocate and a brilliant mind. Many people will never know how much she advocated for so many athletes, but some of us know. @jensterew always supported and advocated for mental health support for her athletes. Huge loss.

👇👇 👇

The blame narrative placed on women coaches has lead to a culture in performance sport that believes women are not confident enough, they lack expertise and knowledge, they prefer to coach children, and are unable to cope with the demands of the profession

I know more than a few people working in sport that should take the time to read this:

[Jenny Trew @jensterew]

Diversity is important and awareness helps. Please take the time to read. A shoutout to the incredible female coaches who live microagressions everyday.

@cdncyclist Was it worse than the year it snowed? (‘99?)

@cdncyclist @cycleryracing Few, brief moment of anxiety there.

Kids complaining about it being dark at Speedweek like they never raced the backstretch at Walterboro.

Get off my lawn before I shoot fireworks at you in the parking lot of the Rice Planters.

Female coach expects this of her athletes- the athletes file a complaint and she is fired.

Male coach publicly spews profanities as he chastises and humiliates the very same group of athletes for not following these rules-he is adored by the athletes and promoted to her position
