Agreed, they should have more information regarding the racing groups in the race pack and or in their endless emails. They should not simply add non racing riders into the racing groups (Only holders of CSA racing licenses should be allowed in racing groups). It becomes dangerous for everyone in that bunch.

VA & racing groups vs Alphabet will be a very different experience. VA race for postion and placing. Lots of surges and hard racing. Sparks always fly and until the break gets away its very very hard racing. A and B bunch ride hard but its more of a mass group racing against the clock. a hard but consistent effort for the whole route. a lot less surging and sprinting for postion in the bunch. not easy by any means but not nearly as intense as the racing groups. If you are out the back in the racing groups you are not allowed to join the racing group behind. Hope that helps in some way.

well technically Campagnolo already 13 speed with their gravel groupset!

Only 3 years behind Campagnolo. Campagnolo will probably launch 13 speed before any of the new Shimano arrives.

Time for the UCI to drop that archaic bike weight rule......

The sooner we all realize that professional sport and sport in general is littered with PED's the sooner we can all act less surprised/shocked and disappointed in our idols. It is evident in all sport, no matter the country, age category or discipline. Happy Friday.

can someone please tell her to put on some socks...

Nothing must hang on your bike, especially your mates wheel on a group ride

also.... leaving them on makes you look Pro! Worth more than the extra Petrol

Load, adaptation, drugs, repeat = Perfect recipe. No fear of being tested = even more perfect.

Not entirely correct, if it wasnt for the tip off she would still be racing. So yes they conducted the test when they were "told" to. many have been bust, it will not scare off anyone who is doping... the only positive in this matter was her test result...

Now lets all wait for all the "I cant believe it" crowd, I thought cycling was now clean! Interesting drug of choice, weight gain/ mass building being a side effect. Obviously to build up the muscle mass post the injuries.

Would love to see the numbers in comparison to the 2019 edition in PTA from a participation and spectator point of view. The vibe, crowds and participation was awesome in PTA and having it a very short circuit there was plenty opportunity for the crowds to see the riders and support! Just what is needed to grow the support in my view.

Frameset, is that including fork as well? 350gram difference between frames is close to 30-35%, thats crazy... What was the framestweight of the Parlee including the fork?

some more pics or you busy out riding?! the moment of truth.... what did the final weight come in at?

Good old days when different brands had their own flair and charm. Nowadays every aero bike looks the same regardless of brand. Such a shame!

When is it not?

Very nice! what you recon she is going to weigh
