In my home in Spain:

3 people, from 3 different continents, using 3 different bike brands, 3 groupset manufacturers, 3 wheel companies, 3 kit companies, 3 different riding discipline backgrounds, 3 different levels of education.

We have one very clear thing in common. What's going on is terrible.

Honestly, I think Ruth is more than a domestique ๐Ÿ˜‰. I was teammates with her back in 20 and 21. She super young. Can be right up there in the next few years

That would also mean leaving the Pon family (SC, Reserve). If he stayed in that family, then the logical choices would be cannondale or cervelo

Insider scoop: Keegan Swenson to leave Santa Cruz (and maybe a couple of other sponsors). Where is he going to go? Only a few companies can afford him, he shares an agent with Sofia Gomez-Villafane (also his wife), so maybe Spec?

Great piece by a good friend!! Letโ€™s just say Iโ€™m disappointed in GES
