Gosh, that's an impenetrably up it's own arse, hard to read article. The race sounds good though.

It's in Rouleur, innit. I used to really like Rouleur, like proper really like it and not just saying that cos it was hipster...then I decided it was so up its own jacksey that I cancelled my subscription. I can now read articles and cut out all the crap in my brain and just read the words that matter - the linked article was only about 6 sentences long in my head ;)

Anyone manage to see any of Tro-Bro ? I was watching Amstel on Cyclinghub.tv, then clicked for T-B there but couldn't get any connection. :sad:

Martin Mortensen took the Tro-Bro Léon for ONE Pro-Cycling, with Peter Williams (also ONE) in second - great result!
 
I wonder how difficult it is to find barriers that do not have feet which stick out into the road? These ones appear to be the most ridiculously OTT version ever, and Marianne Vos had a wee tumble after hitting them

They're mad! I thought it was well established how dangerous barriers like that are. Crazy.

British Cycling National Circuit Race Championships on Thursday. The winners get to wear British National Champion jersey. When do they get to wear this? - there are already champions in road race and TT. :scratch:

Presumably they get to wear it in circuit races.

Cycling has even more categories of national/world champion than boxing!
