Cummings retires.
Do we know what Alex Dowsett is planning to do?2020/2021/2022 Metric Century Challenge Winner0 -
Shame about Cummings - has it been confirmed that he's retired or has he just slid a little too far off the back and is no longer showing on timing screens? Can't have been too many riders like him in the last few years.0

Massively overrated rider because of that one win where he mugs the French riders caught staring.PTP Champion 2019, 2022 & 20230

I think that's a bit harsh - 3 GT stage wins, ToB overall win, British Champs double road and TT - but he was somewhat of a luxury rider, and probably a luxury that is hard to afford after the reduction of team sizesm.r.m. said:Massively overrated rider because of that one win where he mugs the French riders caught staring.

Quite a dying breed. Seemed to have a pass to sit at the back and see how he feels - like a 1st cat in an E 1 2r0bh said:

I didn't say he was bad. I said he was massively overrated. I stand by that point judging by the palmares you list. And judging by what I saw of him especially in the last 2 years, it really didn't seem like he was turning himself inside out for the team in any GT when he was way out in the back of the peloton.fenix said:
TWO stages of the Tour. One of the Vuelta. Not bad at all for a real team rider.m.r.m. said:Massively overrated rider because of that one win where he mugs the French riders caught staring.
I think you don't know your racing mr blockquote.
He had a good career and was a good rider. He was also much less than he is made out to be.PTP Champion 2019, 2022 & 20230 -
The team had no GC contenders though ? So in a GT he loses time on GC and then isn't a threat to overall and so can get in breaks when hes feeling good. And I think he had a few injury and illness problems over the last 2 years. Any career with 3GT stage wins must be a good one ?

I'd have a guess he is asthmaticRichN95. said:Ineos have signed an 18 year Spaniard called Carlos Rodriguez, which is the sort of name a British person would give a fake Spaniard.
Anyone know much about him beyond PCS stats?0 -
Apparently Groupama FdJ wanted to sign him but he tested positive for ambition.specialgueststar said:

Would be nice for some of the big teams to branch out into the other format of races that they're weaker at.

Ineos have completed the signing of 23-year-old Colombian Brandon Rivera on a two-year contract."Science is a tool for cheaters". An anonymous French PE teacher.0

Well they do try to sign every ITT champion.PTP Champion 2019, 2022 & 20230

That has potential to nuclear if he does go to Ineos.RichN95. said:According to internet rumours Rohan Dennis is cycling around Girona in Ineos shorts.
But internet rumours so he'll probably be at CCC by Monday.
He's fallen out with more teams than I've had wives.0 -

Seriously? He's very good. Track world champion in addition to what webboo listed. His little brother is also frighteningly quick and will probably make the step up in the next few years.rick_chasey said:...who?

Watched him absolutely dominate the omnium at the Euros in Glasgow last year, hell of a rider. Wonder how he'll develop after the Olympics, bit light for the classics but he's fast and can climb too. What a talent.0

Sorry are we talking about track riding?
It's a great laugh in the winter and all but I don't follow that either, since, y'know it's not road.

There's been loads on here about him. Contemporary of Pidcock who I assume you are aware of? Both of them were well place at this year's Tour de L'Avenir before crashing out.0

He had a solid Tour of Britain in 2018 riding for Sky with a top 10 in five of the stages. He was 8th in the u23 Worlds that year just behind Pogacar in 7th & 5th in the TTrick_chasey said:Sorry are we talking about track riding?
