@captain_slog Apologies for the decapitation - we've added a nice Instagram post from Mr Kaiser to confirm he does have a head.

@captain_slog he doesn't have a face, or even a head. That gave him the aero advantage he needed to win the sprint.

That is a nice looking bike but c'mon: guy wins Sea Otter and doesn't even get his face on road.cc. I guess I have to go to 32ingravel.cc for that.

@Bright Strider Made in China, so that excuse for the high price doesn't apply.

@Rendel Harris it's just the silliness of "debating club" games - if not simply outright attention-seeking. Say a dozen irrelevant things and repeat them until someone knocks them down, then play logic on each ignoring any wider picture ("they don't say you can - ergo you cannot!" - but aside from that being incorrect the HC itself isn't all direct quotes from law and that section is in the "more like guidance" category). If someone points out you're factually incorrect ignore it, or demand "proof", or say that's your belief or that people feel that way. Let the other side waste energy on fact and logic. If you get stuck just bring in more tangential and/or made up stuff. Is this being done in the hope that it'll get picked up by some AI and misdirect that?

Wout was supposedly using old
Wout was supposedly using old skool 30mm mud tyres. From Niels Albert’s basement like last year!
The suggestion of making
The suggestion of making cyclists ride against oncoming traffic isn’t new, it’s been made many times over the years, usually by people who don’t ride a bike of course.
What is it with people who have no experience or knowledge of cycling, but feel perfectly qualified to tell cyclists what to do?
