Best World Championship.


Sagan winning Road was huge, though.

A friend of mine is one of the top  cyclocross riders in the US,when he went to Belgium last year,not so much. He's a beast on a bicycle,it makes it easier to appreciate just how good Van Aert and Van der Poel et al are.

Our best are far behind them.

That being said, we have had some great female racers from the US.

Stick a motor in one of those for the win.




Kidding, I'm a cyclist.  But she's a MOTOR-CYCLIST:   Technological Doping

The bike is from Femke Van den Driessche, the current Belgian and European Women’s U23 Champion.
They have found electrical cables and a motor inside the bike, according to Sporza, translated:
“After one lap of the World Championships…Femke’s bike in the pit area was immediately sealed and taken.”
“When the saddle and seatpost was removed, there were electrical cables from the tube.”
“When they wanted to remove the bottom bracket, which is normally easy, it was not because the crankshaft was stuck. Just sat there the motor.”
Femke Van den Driessche had mechanical issues both at the start and at the finish and was visibly upset after her race and did not receive a finishing place.

30, 45, or 60 minutes of pain. Pick your poison.

Either you love it or hate it.

When you love it, it becomes an addiction.

But it wasn't her bike! It was her friend's bike that just happened to be at a World Championship race and just happened to show up in the pit with her mechanic!


I totally buy that excuse.



Fuck her, her dad, and her doper brother.

Watching her race the Koppenburg she was way to SMOOTH compared to the others, almost effortless.  Now that we know more it is obvious she was on the battery then.

How it is done.

The chatter going around is that the UCI knew about this and waited until Worlds to bust someone.

Watching the footage, the kids wanted to know what all of the trash was on some of the major turns and drops.

Beer cups. Lots and lots of plastic beer cups.

One of my favorites. He battled with the best. I was so happy to see him win CX Worlds in France. Always a bridesmaid.

Eli is having a tough time getting a start! i expect him to do better outdoors! He does have a pedigree doesn't he? Most of those guys do a ton of cycling! I think they get their heart rates up to about 180 and it just stays there.

Sad to see Nys retire. Love him or hate him.

Watching him hop the barriers changed the sport.

Yes, I know that De Bie did it first.  Nys did it with style.
