Deciding to start banning stuff because people laughed on Twitter. Correct decision to firm up rules but poor management again at UCI; changing rules mid season and based on nothing more than a hype.
In August we announced the creation of a new elite road racing task force to support the domestic road scene.
In addition to targeted consultations with organisers, team managers, riders, Commissaires and other groups, the task force members now want to hear your views on the key opportunities and challenges ahead. You can have your say through an open feedback form, which will close on Thursday 2 November.
Find out more about the consultation and the task force’s progress so far from chair @Ed_Clancy below, and through this link: https://t.co/c4XMRykifL
If I won Roubaix twice, set up the biggest French team, was a prominent anti-doping voice long before it was cool, and in the 2020s set up maybe the best youth development pipeline in cycling, I’d be a bit annoyed that most people’s perception of me was “Yelly man crazy”.
A lot of mad things happened in the Ronde yesterday, but one of the maddest is that apart from MvdP and WvA, the closest rider to Pog who didn't get a 3-minute head start was Tiesj Benoot, who came in 5:12 down.
Føretrøjeiklædte @GannaFilippo havde ikke i sinde at lade en lidt uheldig udgangsposition være skyld i, at han ikke kom med på første vifte, da Jumbo prøvede at køre sidevindsræs i #TirrenoAdriatico i dag 😬😬🏍️🏍️

Even with all the drama in the #trackcycling today, the craziest thing is that the Kiwi’s did a 3:42.3 in the TP and that wasn’t fast enough to get into the final. Insane. #Tokyo2020
A real world aero test of UCI illegal and legal road bike aero positions (thread!👇) - is forearm riding faster? 🧐
In order to explore the general effects of riding in different positions we headed off to an outdoor velodrome for some aero testing.

Not seen Luke Rowe’s name mentioned anywhere. First classic of the season for him but I think a change, in terms of prep, is always good and expect a ride from him today #rvv21
