Strong stage hunting team here...

A look at ENVE carbon fibre bikes, all built from ground up at their Utah factory. The opposite of increasingly bland private equity groups of brands 'one size fits all'.

Last evening's eclipse. 95% apparently here in Devon, parts of Iceland and Spain had 100%, there was a tiny bit of the sunlight dimming when eclipse was at max and the midges came out but that was about it. Half the town climbed the local hill to have a look. Gorgeous evening, we all had drinks...

Hoping one of these works out.

Former Irish cyclist Mel Sutcliffe's financial company looking to buy Accell Group: https://www.stickybottle.com/latest-news/mel-sutcliffe-in-bid-to-buy-raleigh-european-bike-group-once-sold-for-e1-6bn-209232

In horse racing where weight is everything, apprentice jockeys (under 23) get to ride with reduced weights to encourage trainers to give them a shot in races. But for a number of them who don't shine in that period and build a winning reputation, they face a very uncertain future once they hit...

L'Avenir always worth a watch. Couple of years ago the young star was Cian Ujtebroeks and a bidding war ensued. If memory serves he went to Boro for big money then in a messy messy acrimonious divorce jumped ship to Visma less then a year later. But it never worked out and he was quietly sold on...

Another interesting look by INRG of the current UCI Team Rankings post tour. UAE streets ahead of course but the big collapse is Picnic PostNL who are way way below the relegation line, below even the usual Pro teams like Kern Pharms, Bardiani and MHB CSB Telecom Fort (who?!). Things looking...

Now you just need a carbon fibre 3D printer and you're away!!

Yeah I got an email on 2nd Aug telling me Your Better Experience Is Here... and lower down saying starting today the Ride app and ANGi are no longer supported. Even that email got me irritated in that marketting shite messaging: "Great News- killing an app to make your experience better". In...

Here's the video he made with IDwork and the owner (and son): It was more than just Koga hiring an online influencer, they also produced Alee's own handlebar design and he had input for the World Traveller bike he used extensively.

Jesus. That's a lot. I hope some can figure a way to keep going. Some great bike companies there. I watch Alee on YT channel Cyclingabout. He's ridden a Koga with a Rohlhoff hub all over the world for years, is sponsored by them. But recently he did a video showing his new bike sponsor IDworx...

Is Koga owned by Accell as well?

Announced yesterday. https://singletrackworld.com/2026/08/haibike-ghost-lapierre-raleigh-accell-group-enters-insolvency-proceedings/

Dunno why my paste of Stomp's post didn't cone out in quotes as it should have. On phone.

Another thing that has changed is the rise of young riders, not just Seixas. Spencer Martin pointed out that over the past few decades of the Tour, the average age of the peloton has been 29, and so has the average age of the top ten finishers. In the past few years, the average age of the...

After the Olympics road race in Paris went up Montmartre with half a million watching they've incorporated the cobbled climb sections ever since. Makes it much more exciting and the Parisians love it, huge crowds. Extraordinary win by MVDP. Worth a watch. They cut out the boring "procession"...

Not from his toes... But he definitely has "diamonds in his legs".

Catching up. Weather here so lovely been in the sea most of the time but caught yesterday's last hour and snatches during the week. Stomp you've summed it up very well and I'm happy to eat humble pie about Remco, I was sure he'd crack in the last week but he deserves his second place. Had Lipo &...

Spectacular report. Very enjoyable read. Love Italy they do things right. And love your description of the staff and ambition etc. I think it's great to have the giants of Italian road racing Pinarello & Colnago still at the top of their game.
