Geraint Thomas crashes in uphill sprint at Tour de Romandie

Why is the Cube Litening Aero, The Specialized Tarmac and the Van Rysel RCR-PRo marked with a (TBC) pricetag but the Canyon Aeroad isnt considering the teams will no doubt ALL be riding the new as of yet unreleased CFR? The price of a currently superceded (as far as the pro peloton are concerned) looks cheap but its a 2 year old model. The new one is as unreleased as the other 3 bikes.

Wow, if anything shows the utter contempt for customers is this shower. A Gravel specific helmet. Really? Does it only work on gravel or do I need to consider swapping on those occasions I'm on tarmac? Gravel bike? ok Gravel tyres? Sure Gravel Helmet? You're taking the pi$$ now. But were that not ludicrous enough, I love the pros and cons: Oval head fit Not a mushroom No extra Mips weight Integrated and removable rear light Easily removable pads Oval head fit No Mips Buy it cos its oval but don't cos its oval, and the has and hasn't got MIPS is a +/- point. When will they introduce gravel specific bib shorts for reviewers who like to sit on the fence?

Bruyneel calls for UCI to stick to doing dubious deals - like the good old days, eh Johan?

Smaller teams in order to rein in the winning capacity of the only rider capable of making and sticking solo attacks from 80 km plus, not sure we've thought this one through, have we sir? The only way at the moment the team size could affect Pogacar is if you reduce the size of his team and let everyone else keep the status quo.

Maybe so, but I'm not clear how that leads to being a superhuman being part of the 'spirit of the ride'.

@mdavidford You don’t have to be a superhuman to ride it Riding up there, where there's generally only one road, as a tourist is going to be a massive-campervan-horrorshow since the whole route has been TikTok-ed. Unless you go in January.

This sort of box is not for the people who want to go touring (I used to take a bag and bury it as near as possible to the airport), but if I were to require this type this is the one I would get. My daughter's experience when cycling the Lofotens last year is that UK baggage handlers (in Manchester at least) are likely to be of the fashionable Mail/ Telegraph/ Clarkson/ Reform cyclist-hating persuasion and will destroy a bike if at all possible. Don't they just see this type of box as a challenge and simply put it at the bottom and hurl everything else on top of it? The comments of actual users above suggest that this is not always the case!

@mdavidford Whereas Kittelgrams are measured in retired German sprinters.

The Ventoux is just too large to ship using "send my Bag" which use DHL, this will be the same problem for all shipping Agents using DHL, I'm not sure because I lost their quote but I think Ship To Cycle may be OK Had no problems flying the Ventoux with Emirates

Still happening in 2026 to women too? I don’t think this is a small thing and this is a safe place to anyone. I am going to avoid it from now on.
