  • That's a very strong men's team. Might be a few DQS Belgians who don't exactly help WvA vs. Asgreen.

    We can hope 😉

    The eagle-eyed among you will have noticed some obvious omissions...

    Casper Pedersen og Søren Kragh Andersen (DSM)
    Christopher Juul-Jensen (BikeExchange)
    Michael Mørkøv (Quick-Step)
    Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo)

    Kron, Bjerg and Mads Würtz Schmidt taking the last 3 places from the shortlist.

    Ooh, nice little Italian victory there. The Giro della Toscana isn't the biggest race but should help to build on.

  • I'd definitely recommend listening to Valgren's recap of the Yorkshire worlds in the above. A happy ending, but a really, really shit day on the bike... 😉

    He was hit by a driver while out riding. He was one the best mountain domestiques of his era.

    Reports are saying "accident", which I guess means traffic accident.

    Jeez - I'm gutted by this. Apart from anything else I just loved the cadence of his name, and I always treasured that thought because it reminded me that we like riders for the weirdest reasons.

    37. Thirty seven.

    Way too soon.

    Jesus that’s a shock. Awful news. Always loved watching him.

    Napoleon, don't be jealous that I've been chatting online with babes all day. Besides, we both know that I'm training to be a cage fighter.

    My biggest memory of him was him making a bloody mess of his hand trying to get some newspaper out of his spokes/forks during the tour. The photo of the aftermath is easily found on Google.

    He was only a year older than me. It's scary that these things happen.

    So sad, and what a waste.
    It's only a bit of sport, Mun. Relax and enjoy the racing.

    Johan doubles up the Euro win, (first u23 ever to do that?), he'll be wearing rainbows next season 😊
