    Stefan Küng and Elise Chabbey won today's Swiss championship road races.

    Given Groupama-FDJ's history with national champions' jerseys, Küng should get a good one for next season. (He is also the Swiss ITT champ but the European blues and yellow stars take precedence in that discipline.)

    That's a big plus for him next season.

    Surprised to see that Alexandre Vinokurov is racing at La Philippe Gilbert juniors. Presumably offspring of the Astana boss rather than the man himself. There is a Nicolas Vinokurov in the race too.

    correct, its the feeder team for Astana. not sure if thats his son or not, no idea how common that surname is in Kazakhstan
    They are his twin sons.
    I wonder if Nicolas grew up thinking that his brother is daddy’s favourite.
    Or maybe mum is Nicola.

    I was thinking the same. Why, with twins? His wife is called Svetlana.
    But then I remember a Freakomics story about a man who called his sons Winner and Loser and Loser did better. So Nicolas will be the better rider.
