Alas… RH77:

It's fine if you ignore the gusts and the temperature 🤣🙈

Southside is a great call, highly recommended

Jasper isn’t much of a surprise. LPC have drafted a second pro, albeit a retired one, in Nico Roche. The evidence in favour of the Remco rumour does also appear to be mounting 🤯

Yeah, veloracer from Dubai, so I’m told

Let it begin…

At what stage does this fire between Montagu and Ashton that seemingly won’t go away become a concern?

I just got my team email, so who knows what's happening at this point. But it is fun

A new challenger with very similar branding seems to have stepped up to take their place: https://www.instagram.com/house_of_twelve_12/ Or are they just what you get when you order Mother Amateur on Temu? 🤪

Tell that to the KotAS teams who all want to chase each other 🤣

They do, but I'd still expect a race from 3 weeks ago to be used for those 4 riders

What is weird is that I'm not seeing a post-OneTonner seeding run, which I would have expected prior to finalising start times.

test2!

No idea why you censored yourself, the first answer was gold 🤣

Historically the WT riders have been in LPC (Jasper Stuyven) and UCT-Private Client Holdings (Finn Fisher-Black and Lucas & Alice Towers). Haven't seen confirmation from either team for 2025 (noting that Jasper is changing WT teams, so not sure his new team will allow him to ride?)

(as an aside, without turning this into the Active Hobo thread, if you have a cycling story that you think would make an interesting interview, DC-related or otherwise, give me a shout, I can pass it on to Dave)

Alright, some pre-reading/listening for those new to KotAS As mentioned elsewhere, Dave is doing a great job hyping up the "local rivalries" which make DC all the more fun.

For the poors Cabon Frameset that I can confirm fits 2.1s

Yup, we did 4m30s at the top for bottle fills. I did a bit of work after the downhill, but then was on my last legs for most of the headwind stretch home (didn't feel too bad about sitting in the bunch at that point as I'd done my fair share in the first half). I did have a chuckle every time Keegan (the guy in black) rode down the line to the front to "keep things at a tempo pace". Well, I chuckled every time except when he did that for the 5k leadin to Botmas, that was not appreciated 🤣

Ah, yes, we chatted a few times, nice ride 👊 (I was in one of the black Pure Savage tops)
