I'm psyched to see Pidcock score some UCI points this weekend

Bauke Mollema was in the race today. When he first rode Fléche Wallonne, Paul Seixas was 1

If Paul Seixas has any sense of romance he’ll go and win the French road race title before he wins the Tour this year.

I enjoyed this article in the weekend Irish Times.

It made me think about cycling and the constant suggestions that everything needs to be simplified so that idiots can understand it.

I got a stat wrong mid-article and commentated on myself getting it wrong and dealing with the consequences.

Think I’m losing my marbles. Good stat though. Really good.

I remember playing this game a few years back

Tom Boonen and Mathieu van der Poel both finished in the top 10 of the Ronde van Limburg in 2016.

Those two racing against each other doesn't really fit into my brain properly.

I've often wondered what would happen if a lead group are half way round the velodrome and they are actually joined on the final lap by a chase group as *they* enter the velodrome. Chaos presumably.

Visma Lease-a-Bike men's team have taken part in this race 41 times and never won it. This is the most amount of times that the same team has ridden the same race and never won it, ever.

No pair of riders have ever finished 1st and 2nd (in either order) in both Flanders and Roubaix in the same year.

Is this the worst headline you’ve seen all week?

I sure hope so

Jump in for a bit of a stat attack about teams who’ve won all five monuments.

That’s the first time in the history of the Tour of Flanders that the first five riders finished solo.

Can’t wait for Demi Vollering’s LinkedIn post tomorrow

Are they though. What do you actually mean by that? The components are quite standard, no?

At that price? I’m not sure. Which ones?

I won’t.
That’s ok.
That’s true every year

But they don’t sell Canyons…

Tell me why I shouldn’t buy a Canyon Endurace CF SLX 8 Di2

I’ve taken the paywall off this one because I’m a good egg really.

The least Belgiumy Belgium who ever Belgiumed Why has he never ridden the Tour of Flanders?

This has suddenly become relevant again.

Evenepoel is a Belgian monument winner who has never ridden Flanders.

How rare is this? (Very... but how very?)
