Have I Got Cycling News For You

All the cycling news that isn’t fit to print. Any similarities with a satirical TV quiz show are purely intentional.

As countries around the world rethink statues that celebrate controversial figures, French cyclists lobby for the removal of a monument to one man who has haunted them since 1985.

Lappartient: “For sure, he’s a dictator. But he’s our kind of dictator.”

This bike-loving dictator just got the UCI's highest award

Stung by criticism for its continued supplying of bicycles to US police forces, @TrekBikes announce a new partnership that “shows our commitment to equality”.

Continuing the theme of adding the word “Cycling” to the name of a BBC game show, you really must check this out. Gasp at the harsh treatment of @lauracwinter! Marvel at @millarmind still wearing his cap backwards at his age! And bung some cash to the @NSPCC while you’re at it.👍

No shocks in last week’s Missing Word Round, which hijacked @nedboulting’s homage to Burgos BH rider Ángel Madrazo in @Rouleur 20.1. Ángel wings if you guessed correctly. Paul McCartney and Wings to those who didn’t.

It’s Friday! It’s five to five! It’s... disappointingly time for the Missing Word Round, which this week is ripped from the fragrant, high quality pages of the mighty @rouleur magazine.

With rumours rife of a @chrisfroome transfer to @Movistar_Team, @solermarc93 refuses to answer our questions about what this could mean for his leadership hopes.

Pantano: “EPO is injected, so I have no idea how it got into my body.”
@TrekSegafredo: “Colombians usually win loads of races, so we have no idea how he got into our team.”

[Have I Got Cycling News For You @HIGCNFY]

Predictably enough, Sir David of Brailsford said that he’d pull his riders from @LeTour should he deem it unsafe. We do suspect, however, that “safety” may be defined depending on whether @chrisfroome is wearing his colours come August... 😉

EXCLUSIVE: with uncertainty around who’s the boss at @TeamINEOS, HIGCNFY can reveal who @chrisfroome is talking to as he seeks a new team that will guarantee clarity over leadership in Grand Tours...

[Have I Got Cycling News For You @HIGCNFY]

So what would cycling’s favourite* management consultant pull were it not safe?

No, not “if Chris Froome is fit”, but rather “if unable to train outdoors”. Perhaps there is more to training than @GoZwift after all? What would Bernard Hinault say, we wonder?

Missing Word Round time, this week coming from the (web) pages of @velonews. What might prevent French riders from racing @LeTour? Answers on a virtual postcard below, please...
