Arriving at road.cc in 2017 via 220 Triathlon Magazine, Jack dipped his toe in most jobs on the site and over at eBikeTips before being named the new editor of road.cc in 2020, much to his surprise. His cycling life began during his students days, when he cobbled together a few hundred quid off the back of a hard winter selling hats (long story) and bought his first road bike - a Trek 1.1 that was quickly relegated to winter steed, before it was sadly pinched a few years later. Creatively replacing it with a Trek 1.2, Jack mostly rides this bike around local cycle paths nowadays, but when he wants to get the racer out and be competitive his preferred events are time trials, sportives, triathlons and pogo sticking - the latter being another long story.

Is Chris growing his hair out?
"Channel 5 under fire over 'Cyclists: Scourge Of The Streets?' documentary"
As someone who rarely watches television (chewing gum for the mind) I really can't comment on Channel 5's approach, but I hope this title is exceedingly ironic and actually comes to the only possible conclusion that cyclists aren't, but drivers are.
Yay, another bit of anti cyclist bullshit on mainstream media.
Seems like a few teams are scrapping leader support for an all-out raid on breakaway stage wins. But still, I agree with peted76, strange to not take Cavendish given his near-constant presence in the media. Add to that his ability to look after himself in the sprints and it just looks strange.
DiData need a decent TdF showing. You'd have been forgiven for thinking that they hadn't even turned up to the Giro...
Strange descision on the face of it with cavendish.
I was hoping to see Cav at the tour, I thought after a quiet build up he might come in and be a bit of a surprise on a couple of stages, but I guess sometimes the team needs to go with more known quantities.
Clearly we know nothing about what's going on at Di Data ref Cavendish, however it does seem odd that for the past two years suffering with that disease he's had he's been picked to go to the tour and this year, when he's over it, has been working toward July..(and you'd presume must be showing better numbers) they don't. Makes me wonder other cards DiData have to play at the TdF? It's a team of super domestiques.
It's not been a good year for the team at all, so why not at least send Cav and get the publicity he brings to the team. Or maybe their plan is just to win nothing, hunt for top tens and be noticed by nobody.
