Tubular glue now officially a mail order-only item around here. I hope you're happy, you tubeless heathens.

The absolute mess they made in there is amazing.

Chapeau to the 11-year-old who greeted me with, "your tire is off", as I shouldered my bike with its rolled tubular back to the car on Sunday. I think you coined cyclocross's version of "you can't park there."

Holy crap do I not want to be resubscribed to Outside's emails every time I register for a bike race.

β€œThe Service Course must harness the power of AI, or you’ll be 10 years behind before you know it!” they say.
To which I reply, β€œJoke’s on youβ€” we’re already 15 years behind and it’s great.”

You are not alone in these sorts of interactions πŸ™„*.
*Day job. Service Course very official company policy prohibits AI use.

I distinctly remember watching a pair of guys working their giant Tuscan vineyard with just an '80s Fiat Panda and a utility trailer.

I’ll stoop to paraphrasing Carville so it will sink in for you all: β€œIt’s the drivers, stupid.”

Ambrosio Nemesis, tied and soldered or GTFO.

Probably worth noting that the Conrad 30 waiver program lets foreign medical graduates who train here stay on H1-Bs in exchange for serving medically underserved areas in the US.

Possibly the most Belgian race, Ronde be damned.

Cool! Appreciate the summary- don’t have an Enquirer sub.

Original course?

No, no, it’s perfect, ask me how I know

I kind of like the improv, riders-only, parking lot Vuelta awards ceremony, TBH.

Yeah, maybe not this part. This looks hard. πŸ˜€

I would like to ride today's Vuelta route at my own much more reasonable pace.

This is my yearly plea/recommendation to catch some of these smaller Italian fall classics if you can. They're beautiful.

Look, nobody can help where they're from, but Impey seems ill-positioned to fight the "politics out of sport" battle.

Saw a crank bolt laying on the bike path this morning. Somebody’s going to have a spicy commute.

Oof. Used to love taking it from DC to Philly for USPRO. Was a 10 minute walk on either end for me. And it was much, much cheaper.

Has Movistar signed him yet?

This could knock Velo’s Bobby Julich coverage right out of the top spot.
