Flood causes spectacular crash in Argentinian race
🚴 Tremendo accidente en la llegada de la Revancha de la Doble Bragado, la clásica ciclística del verano en Buenos Aires
😱 Bajo una lluvia torrencial, varios pedalistas cayeron en el sprint final
🏆 La carrera fue ganada por Agustín Martínez

The Revancha de la Doble, a race held in the Argentinian city of Bragado, must have watched last year’s Paris-Roubaix or 2019’s sodden world championships in Yorkshire and thought “hold my beer”.
Because a short and sharp storm, which flooded towns and cities across the province of Buenos Aires, had an even more devastating effect on Sunday’s race, held for the first time since 2019, than the mud in the Arenberg forest or the saturated streets of Harrogate (though I was there in Harrogate that day, and I don’t think I’ve ever been completely warm since…).
Despite the commissaire’s decision to reduce the length of the race by an hour due to the harsh weather conditions, the finishing straight in Bragado remained completely flooded as the riders entered the final kilometre. In scenes reminiscent of a Cat 4 sprint finish, six riders fell in the melee and three were taken to hospital (although none were seriously injured). How the whole peloton didn’t go down, I have no idea.
Agustín Martínez, a former Argentinian U23 time trial champion, survived the chaos to triumph in the race’s fifteenth edition.
“It was an unexpected victory for me in this historic race, although it was a very unusual race with a lot of rain,” Martínez said after the race. Maybe he was just happy to still be upright after all that carnage…
Only Connect: the cycling edition
Cycling nerds the country over were shouting in unison at their television sets at around 8.20pm last night. And no, it wasn’t because the BBC aired a repeat of last year’s SPOTY…
On last night’s episode of Only Connect – the best quiz on TV, by far – viewers may have immediately recognised four famous bike brands hidden in the connecting wall. Unfortunately, the quizzers had no clue what a Cervelo was, but at least one of them did recognise Raleigh.
Anyone else shouting “bike brands!” At the TV? #OnlyConnect pic.twitter.com/Jtvj4R4R7w

The question setters also included Teide (the preferred altitude haunt for the pro peloton these days), no doubt as a bonus treat for us bike geeks.
It’s not the first time that cycling has been featured in this series of Only Connect. On an earlier episode the 1999 Tour de France was provided as an example of an event with no winner (the sport’s existential questioning aside).
Here’s another one that was included this year: What comes fourth in this sequence?
2: e.g. Nicolas Frantz
3: e.g. Greg LeMond
4: Chris Froome
Answers in the comments! First to answer correctly wins a knowing nod of appreciation from me (what more could you ask for?).
Most importantly, who would have buzzed in straight after Nicolas Frantz for a five pointer?
Brooks is inviting three cyclists to ride from northern Italy to Birmingham
Ever dreamt of cycling from Italy to the West Midlands (what do you mean you haven’t)? Well, Brooks England could make all your dreams come true.
The historic saddle manufacturer is running a three-week cycling adventure in late April this year from northern Italy to the historic factory near Birmingham where the brand was founded and where each Brooks England leather saddle is still produced today.
The riders will be following a set course which is aimed at highlighting aspects central to the Brooks brand, such as the traditions of handmade craftsmanship, wanton exploration, and unwavering authenticity.
This initial trip, which is meant to be the first in a series of such journeys, will welcome three riders from around Europe, each chosen through an online application process.
To commemorate the ride, each member will receive a unique saddle stamp in recognition of their effort.

Bike thieves target Israel Cycling Academy
Today, 17 of our Israel Cycling Academy @FactorBikes were stolen from the team’s truck near Girona, Spain. The frames are silver, red, and black as pictured below.
Please contact us if anyone has any information 🙏 pic.twitter.com/yKqkVg5jft
— Israel – Premier Tech / Israel Cycling Academy (@IsraelPremTech) January 17, 2022
Israel Cycling Academy announced yesterday that 17 of the team’s Factor bikes have been stolen during the squad’s training camp in Girona.
The UCI Continental team, which features British rider Mason Hollyman, acts as a development team for the top-level Israel-Premier Tech outfit, fronted by Chris Froome, Michael Woods and Jakob Fuglsang.
Bike thefts have become a worryingly common occurrence on the professional scene in recent years, with thieves recently targeting the Italian track team at October’s world championships, while Team BikeExchange had to rely on borrowed equipment to finish the Tour de l’Ardèche in September after their bikes were stolen before stage 5.
Extinction Rebellion to target Santos Festival of Cycling
📣 BREAKING
Rebels from XRSA are today announcing they will perform road blocks to stop the Santos Festival of Cycling race and challenge the social license of festival sponsor @SantosLtd.
We are demanding that @EventsSA find a new naming rights sponsor for the #TourDownUnder. pic.twitter.com/nusyLlBKWu
— Extinction Rebellion South Australia (@XRSouthAus) January 17, 2022
The South Australia branch of Extinction Rebellion has announced that it plans to disrupt the upcoming Santos Festival of Cycling in protest against the event’s sponsor.
The group says they will put up road blocks to peacefully stop the men’s and women’s stage races, which will take place between 21 and 29 January. These races form part of the Santos Festival of Cycling, held for the second successive year in place of the elite-level Tour Down Under due to ongoing Covid restrictions.
Gas and oil producer Santos, which has sponsored the Tour Down Under since 2010, is one of Australia’s worst greenhouse gas emitting companies. Its status as the race’s naming rights sponsor has long been viewed as one of cycling’s most egregious forms of ‘greenwashing’.
Announcing their protest, Extinction Rebellion tweeted: “One of the world’s worst carbon polluters, Santos continues to pursue massive oil and gas expansion in Australia and around the globe. Their actions will drive global emissions to tipping points from which there is no return. They must be stopped.”
“We understand that people will be frustrated by this action, but we cannot continue to give Santos our social consent,” said Anna Slynn, one of the group’s leaders. “We intend to stop the race safely. We are declaring our intention today so that race organisers are prepared for when this happens.”
For a mode of transport so intrinsically associated with green living, professional cycling’s environmental track record (spoiler – it’s not great) has come under increasing scrutiny in recent years.
Growing pressure has been placed on teams and races to avoid sponsors intent on ‘greenwashing’ their earth-damaging activities by associating with an environmentally friendly activity such as riding a bike.
At the 2019 Tour de Yorkshire anti-fracking campaigners protested petrochemicals giant Ineos, the sponsor of a team, lest we forget, which wore a special rainforest rescue jersey at the 2011 Tour de France. In 2012 the Australian GreenEdge team, set up with the apparent aim of promoting green travel (the clue’s in the name), also came in for a lot of flak when it incongruously accepted mining company Orica as its title sponsor.
When asked last year about the race’s relationship with Santos for a Procycling article on the sport’s environmental impact, Events South Australia executive director Hitaf Rasheed said: “While none of our sponsors have any direct involvement in the organisation or running of [the Tour Down Under], we value these partnerships as they allow the race to continue to grow and elevate the event to a world-class offering.”
Tweet of the day?
Yesterday we published a story about a particularly aggressive driver who took exception to a cyclist challenging him over his phone use behind the wheel – and then proceeded to try to ram the bike rider into oncoming traffic.
When a Twitter user defended the motorist by arguing that the cyclist “was in his blind spot”, Mat Burnham responded with this absolute cracker:
Drivers was on his fucking phone. EVERYWHERE was in his blind spot.

Custom bike designer builds world’s tallest rideable bicycle
Even Conor Dunne might struggle on a bike this big.
While the Irish ex-pro’s frames measured at a nosebleed-inducing 62cm, they pale in comparison to this 7.41 metre monster designed by renowned bike builder Adam Zdanowicz and officially designated by Guinness World Records as the world’s “tallest rideable bicycle.”
Zdanowicz, who has built bikes for celebrities such as Guns N’ Roses guitarist Slash, constructed his record-breaking model from 30 damaged bikes which had been donated by a local primary school as part of their ‘Rubbish for Some, Treasure for Others’ project.
Adam described riding the bike as “a challenge and a great adventure”.
Impressive, though I’m not sure how useful it would be for cyclo-cross…
Introducing the future of the school run: the bicycle bus
🚴LISTEN: Meet the #Worcestershire children dumping the school bus for pedal power! Pupils in #Evesham are powering themselves home from school in a ‘Bicycle Bus’ 🚌 🚲👏👏👏 https://t.co/yc8M0QKv9P
— BBC Hereford & Worcester (@bbchw) January 17, 2022
A community group in Evesham has embraced a green, healthy version of the school run – a ten-seater ‘bicycle bus’.
Evesham Adventure Playground Association bought the bike bus from a Dutch company, and it has been used since Christmas to transport children from three different schools to their after-school club. The passenger-powered bike, which will be used by other community organisations when needed, replaces the group’s old nine-seater minibus.
“We thought instead of using the diesel miles, let’s have a pedal mile,” the association’s Dave Bowker said.
The community group’s main aim is to help cut pollution in the town and to encourage schoolchildren to be healthy. Though don’t worry – the new mean machine features a pedal-assist battery, so little Jimmy won’t have to push MVDP-esque watts on the last hill home…
Sneaky bit of drafting there, Jakob…

Israel-Premier Tech are currently training in Girona, which meant a chance to test out the team’s time trial equipment for new signing Jakob Fuglsang (I can hear Carlton Kirby say “birdsong” as I type).
Unfortunately for the Danish veteran, his session was rudely interrupted by the Spanish branch of Extinction Rebellion – or should that be Extinction Re-baaaaaa-llion? (I’ll get my coat…)
Some on Twitter were quick to point out the flagrant contravention of traffic laws going on in the clip, with one user writing: “Five abreast, holding up the traffic, probably don’t even stop for red lights.”
Typical sheep, think they own the road. Bet they don’t even pay road tax…
“Stop building bike lanes – nobody uses them!”

French ‘doctor’ Bernard Sainz convicted of doping offences… again
🚴♂️⚖️La sentence est tombée pour Bernard Sainz alias “Docteur Mabuse” du cyclisme. https://t.co/WCBV2uCuel
— francetvsport (@francetvsport) January 17, 2022
Bernard Sainz, the infamous self-styled ‘naturopath’ known in cycling circles as Dr Mabuse, has been sentenced to a year of house arrest after being found guilty of the illegal practice of medicine and incitement to doping.
Sainz, who will have to wear an electronic tag throughout the course of his house arrest, was convicted after an undercover investigation by France Télévisions and Le Monde showed the 78-year-old providing riders with guidance on how to dope. He has also been banned from working in medicine or sport for five years.
Despite not holding a recognised medical license, Sainz has treated bike riders and racehorses for half a century. His clients in the peloton have included Raymond Poulidor, Cyrille Guimard, Philippe Gaumont and Frank Vandenbroucke.
Sainz claims that he only gives his clients “homeopathic treatments” which have “allowed some people to recover their health on the margins of conventional medicine.”
He’s been arrested on suspicion of drug-related offences in every decade since the 1980s and has been convicted on three previous occasions for aiding doping in both cycling and horseracing. Sainz was last seen at the Tour de France in 2015, holding an official accreditation from the race organisers.
“We have known him for 30 years and he is still at large,” French Cycling Federation lawyer Paul Mauriac told L’Équipe. “The damage is done, it is irreversible. Mr Sainz is a cat that always lands on his feet, unfortunately.”

Charges dropped against driver accused of “deliberately ramming innocent cyclists”
There has been a stunning turn of events in the case of a man accused of deliberately ramming innocent cyclists off the road at North Haven – all charges against him have been dropped. 7NEWS Adelaide at 6pm | https://t.co/8ftPfGh39Y @HannahFoord7 #7NEWS pic.twitter.com/VI2skIosvM

Police in Adelaide have dropped all charges against a motorist accused of deliberate and “aggressive driving towards cyclists” in August last year.
The 25-year-old was arrested last year on suspicion of targeting three cyclists in separate incidents while driving a stolen car early in the morning on Lady Gowrie Drive, North Haven. The driver knocked two of the cyclists off their bikes and forced another one off the road, causing minor injuries.
Cyclist Sam Beveridge captured one of the incidents on camera. He told Australian television at the time that he first witnessed the driver heading in the opposite direction on the other side of the road. According to Beveridge, the driver then performed a U-turn on the road and immediately began to drive towards him, “ramming” him from behind and throwing him off his bike.
Police are hunting a stolen car with plates XFI869 used by an ‘aggressive driver’ to target three cyclists in North Haven.

Beveridge subsequently handed the footage of the incident to police, who later recovered a stolen white Ford Fairmont, which matched the vehicle description given by the victims.
In Adelaide Magistrates Court today, however, prosecutors unexpectedly dropped all charges against the accused man. No explanation was offered in court.

When Trek-Segafredo’s Latvian champion, and wearer of the coolest kit in town, Toms Skujiņš posted this image of him lifting weights over the weekend, it got me thinking (naturally enough) – how would today’s gym-going generation of professional cyclists fare on a modern version of Superstars?
While Superstars may be best known these days for a certain perm-tastic footballer crashing spectacularly onto a cinder track during the bike race, cyclists themselves never really made a mark on the show.
Because, let’s face it, cyclists – remarkable physical specimens, yes, but not traditionally known for their all-round athletic ability or indeed upper-body strength – tended to perform poorly when pitted against athletes from other sports in what was essentially a televised sports day.
In 1980 Joop Zoetemelk – who would go on to win the Tour de France later that year – finished dead last in the international version of Superstars, a whopping 45 points behind British judoka and Superstars legend Brian Jacks.
The Dutchman came last in the 100m sprint, basketball competition, swimming race, obstacle course, and gym test, before – perhaps wisely – sitting out the weightlifting contest.
In the gym test, each athlete had to complete as many parallel bar dips and squat thrusts as they could in the allotted time. Jacks scored a staggeringly impressive total of 80. Poor old Joop’s score? One. Yes, that’s right. One. At least his Tour win later that summer gave him some consolation.
Fortunately for Joop, other leading lights of the 1970s peloton didn’t quite cover themselves in glory either on Superstars. In 1976 Raymond Poulidor finished bottom of his heat behind winner Bjorn Borg. Walter Godefroot and Freddy Maertens also came last when they took on the Superstars challenge.
Cyclists have fared significantly better, however, in modern iterations of the show: Chris Boardman finished second behind rugby player Austin Healey in a 2002 revamp, restoring cycling’s reputation somewhat, though Lizzie Deignan failed to lay a glove (excuse the pun) on Helen Glover in a 2012 Olympic special.
So how well do you think the more rounded pros of today such as Van der Poel, Alaphilippe and Vos would cope in a game of basketball against the likes of Rafa Nadal, Adam Peaty and Lucy Bronze?
Maybe I need to get out more…

Re: Brooks B17 Utmost "There’s also a redesigned nose and tension pin at the front" It is unfortunate that Brooks didn't redesign the nose it so that it can be tensioned with just an allen key. The Brooks spanner is just yet another tool to take on tour (or lose) and if the nose rotates then long nosed pliers are needed as well.
@AidanR Even if one takes it slowly enough not to sweat, it's still not a good idea to wear office clothes. Many years ago I taught in a school in Vauxhall that was a mere five kilometres from my home and, tired of the logistics of keeping clean shirts and suits in a cupboard in my classroom, I thought I would ride in my teaching clobber on nice days. After two days two quite expensive suits had to go to the dry cleaners, one with chain oil on the trousers and the other after I came round a corner straight into the outflow from a burst watermain, plus a rather nice shirt had become good for nothing but DIY or gardening after becoming irrevocably stained when I had to replace a dropped chain in a hurry. Lesson learned, ever since then it's been cycling clothes and leave ten minutes earlier to have time to wash and change.
13km each way. Four days a week, lycra top and gilet/jacket depending on temperature. I have full plastic cover (coat, trousers, boot covers) in my pannier bag along with a t-shirt/shirt for work. Long mudguards with extra flaps for wet ground. Those are e-bike days. From November to April, I have handlebar mitts which, along with the mudguard flaps and boot covers are the best additions I've made over the years. Thursday is road bike day, full lycra, take it easy on the way in to minimise sweaty mess, take the long way home.
@lesterama That won't help him much keep that weight, though.
I have almost always cycled in lycra for commuting. However, I have also had a shower and locker room available. When I have been dressed in my work clothes I did get sweaty. As to speed in lycra vs. street clothes, I suggest looking up the show “The World According to Jeff Goldblum”. He brought that question to the Specialized headquarters, where they have a wind tunnel. Street clothes have an almost 20% impact on speed. So you work harder for the same result. Or you just go slower in street clothes.
The actual travel time is only a part of the equation, and it's skewed by what facilities you have in the workplace. I always used to judge it on time for bed to desk - having shower facilities and the ability to store smart clothes and shoes at work meant there was no question about the advantage of wearing cycling kit for the comfort (and not wearing out the crotch of proper trousers).
I did this exact route today as I do once or twice every week - Midford to Bristol and back through tunnels and along cycle paths. Don't see many people in suits... I agree that lycra is not a time saver but as you're going to have to shower on arrival anyway, 100% agree with Liam that you might as well wear comfy clothes that dry fast.
There's no way I'm not sweating on my 20km each way commute across London, so there's no way I'm wearing my office clothes on the bike!
Does it, though? Looks to me like there's a general surge of the peloton from left to right across the road, and that looks far more likely to have been responsible for the crash than 'confusion' over the bottle incident.
My commute is also 9 miles each way, and no matter what I'm wearing, I'm a sweaty mess at the end of it, and need to shower. So I might as well wear cycling kit.
