It's a good thing riders can no longer throw away their bidons anywhere. It can lead to unsafe situations.
Meanwhile in Italy, within 1k of the finish line:

Alex Dowsett's hour attempt later today, 10pm UK I think: on his YT channel or via the BBC somewhere |

I’m glad you linked the YouTube channel because I’m fucked if I could find any mention of it on iplayer earlier.

Don’t think he beat Bigham’s British record either

Marc is adding another year at Quickstep. I hope he can grab a few more sprints next year. I can't help but feel that calling it quits in the green jersey in Paris, after that epic rebound following 3 colourless years, would have been a better way to go down in the history books. |

Anyone watch the CX yesterday? Both Pidcock and Van Aert's first outing in the mud for this winter.
Van Aert wasn't too sure where his current form would put him in the pack and whether he would be contending for a podium pace or not.
Also Van Aert in round 2, after starting from the 3rd row.

I did not, but thanks for the heads-up. Pinarello actually have a CX bike now!

Wout monstered them, and it must be absolutely gutting for Izerbyet who’s been doing that all season so far. Pidcock always takes a few races to warm up. Think Boxing Day has Van Aert, Pidcock and VdP all together 🤩

If this catches on, snowboarders will no longer be the most hated group in the lift queues.

A CX version of Megavalanche would be good to see

That’s ridiculous- he won yesterday didn’t he? Makes me think how much being elite is about being able to recover and recharge, possibly more than anything else.
Also, I want Marianne Vos’ babies (fairly sure that’s how it works).

JV flogging last seasons bikes, actually pretty good value (if they go for estimate) for 2nd hand R5/S5's if you look at non WvA or Rog ones. www.catawiki.com/en/a/570627 |

Looked very cold & muddy.
No thanks.
Was fun to see the end of paris-roubaix in between on eurosport. My missus couldn't believe the state of the mud-men in that.
Worse than those in today's CX shenanigans too!

Just seen the highlights from the World Cup round in Rucphen. Pretty exciting, even in their truncated form.

Didn't realise MvdP has pulled out for the rest of the CX season due to injury  WvA not going to the World Champs either, so could be a chance for Pidcock if he can hold off Iserbyt et al |

Thomas wins the TdSuisse, I’d pretty much written him off at the sharp end but that’s a solid result going into the Tour

That’s big. I wonder if they’ll have him on super domestique style duties, possibly subbing him in as a backup, and if he can stay upright beforehand.
