Let's get it started! All your cycling updates in a central location. From CX to Road races post anything and everything. The Tour Down Under is our first official race of the season. Looking forward to an exciting season and some intense battles between the World's elite. We may possibly have the strongest World Championships field we've seen in years as this years edition falls in early August in Glasgow.

Hoping to see the future of American cycling on full display!

ALLEZ ALLEZ ALLEZ!

EF Education has gotten the season off to an interesting start with their new kit, including different colored socks.

I actually really love those kits. At least they did away with their green pants from a season ago. They always have a really good Giro kit too.

Also Bettiol of EF Education First won the opening Prologue in the TDU. What was interesting was that none of the riders used a time trial bike. I wonder if that was due to the short length of the course but it struck me as odd.

Yeah, pink and green just don't go together.

Cavendish finally sighed with Astana. Or it was finally announced, one or the other.

Derail from UCI content... has anyone done either Unbound Gravel or Leadville 100?
Giggem

Haven't done either, but have entered the lottery for Unbound 2023. Will see if I get in...

Almost did that today but couldn't get over paying the $225 for registration. I do have a goal of doing an organized century gravel ride this year though.

Looking WAYYY ahead, I just noticed that 2024 TdF will, for the first time ever, start in Italy and, for the first time ever, not end in the vicinity of Paris. Due to the Paris Summer Olympics, it'll end in Nice, apparently with a competitive TT stage as the final stage. Fascinating !

That TT will be even more interesting if the wind's blowing off the Med.

Matteo Jorgenson won stage 3 of the Tour of Oman yesterday. He is currently leading the overall with a single stage left!

Jorgenson wins GC in the Tour of Oman by 1 second.

Maybe this is the year of American cycling?

Dang! Very well could be.

BTW, NBC/Peacock reupped with the TdF for 6 more years. I'm not going to gripe about all the commercials because beggars can't be choosers.

Less than 15 km to go in Strande Bianche and Quinn Simmons from Trek and an American is in the chase group that's 13 secs down from the leader. Tom Pidcock of Ineos is in front.

With the USA road championships over this weekend it means that the Tour de France is officially les than a week away. Looking forward to seeing a few Americans and 1 Houstonian in particular light it up in France this year.

Excited to see if Jonas can keep Tornado Tadej from getting his revenge and winning this years Tour. Should be a good one though.

Stage 1 of La Vuelta is on Peacock right now. It's a TTT. In Barcelona. In the rain.

Killer TT by Sepp to keep the red jersey.

Wow, Kuss might win the Vuelta.

Still in the lead after the Angliru, no thanks to his two teammates. Eight-second lead over JV.

I hope Pogacar trounces Vingegaard in next years Tour for what JV has done the last two days. Today, especially, he abandoned Sepp Kuss

I tend to agree, although it is a bike race and there are big contract bonuses for winning grand tours.

What is happening at Jumbo-Visma? Rogli and Vingegaard drop Sepp Kuss, but both say they want him to win

Mixed messaging much?

Yeah I've lost a lot of respect for the Jumbo Visma team after yesterdays antics. How many times has Sepp waited for Primoz or Jonas to them turn himself inside out for them?

Sepp wins it all. SO awesome for him. Couldn't happen to a better dude. Still very annoyed by Jonas and Primoz doing what they did. Sepp has been arguably the best domestique in the world over the last 5 years and their best asset in the TDF every year.
