BuffsVintageBikes Posted May 16, 2022 Share Gees, what a tragic turn of events. How terribly sad for a young and talent young woman to lose her life in such a brutal way 😧 mazambaan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Posted May 16, 2022 Share I've changed the title as it seems everything gravel racing has been discussed here and is continuing beyond Matt's BWR result. I hope that's ok, @MongooseMan? I know it takes away from Matt's result a bit (no reason he still can't feature). Perhaps a dedicated thread for his racing career (across all disciplines) will work better.

Nick Posted May 17, 2022 Share By slapping a UCI sticker on an event doesn't automagically make it a desirable thing to race. There are far more prestigious events on the gravel calendar. It's also going to be interesting to see how many gravel racers have the desire and funding to travel to all those events to win something that no one seems to regard very highly (yet). Perhaps a Trek rider or two 😉 Jewbacca, Sid the Sloth and milky4130 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrettS Posted May 17, 2022 Share Going through Matts setup on his Sworks Crux, does anyone know what saddle he is using?

Colin Strickland and Kaitlin Armstrong were apparently dating before they briefly separated, during which time Moriah and Colin had a brief romantic interlude. Subsequently Colin and Kaitlin reconciled and then she ends up murdering Moriah. https://www.cyclingnews.com/news/colin-strickland-tortured-by-proximity-to-mo-wilsons-murder/ Senseless, and many lives destroyed, not only Mo's.
