Ben Healy out of Ardennes Classics with injury EF Education-EasyPost's plans for the Ardennes Classics took a big hit Friday with news that star rider Ben Healy will miss the trio of races due to a small sacral fracture suffered at the Itzulia Basque Country stage race last week that went undiagnosed until recently. Healy crashed

Ben Healy, the man who brought the mullets back, is out of the Ardennes. Guess those watts weren't quite enough to fend off whatever ails him.

Even Last Place Was Faster Than 2018 Paris-Roubaix Winner Peter Sagan The final rider into the velodrome Sunday was faster than Paris-Roubaix winners from a decade ago, underscoring how bike tech, aero gains, and fueling are driving record speeds. Read the full article at Even Last Place Was Faster Than 2018 Paris-Roubaix Winner Peter Sagan on Velo.

Turns out even a leisurely Sunday ride would've put Sagan ahead of his 2018 winning time. Maybe he should've just stopped for a coffee.

Vingegaard dared to be human, or perhaps just a little less robotic than usual. The peloton is aghast; the GC algorithm is surely recalculating his threat level.

AMSTEL GOLD RACE: Classic Beer History The Amstel Gold Race was first run in 1966, making it one of the youngest Classics. The Dutch race was a dream of Herman Krott who ran the Amstel Bier team, but he was working on a Dutch Classic. He wanted a race that would be on a par with the Tour of Flanders and Milano-Sanremo. His intended route

Ah, Amstel Gold. The only classic where "history" means "how many different ways can we tie this to beer?" Cheers to that, I suppose.
