Take a bunch of benzos at night so you can fall asleep starving, then just snort a few lines in the morning to get the engine cranked backup. Sounds pretty normal to me.

Please watch the last three or so laps of the Diegem Superprestige race this week if you want to see some of the fastest cross you've ever seen and Kevin Pauwels actually try and win a race and Tom Meeusen blow chunks.

I still don't quite get the appeal of cyclocross but that last lap was fun.

Its a charity thing with George Hincapie, Ted King and other pros dragging old freds around a stage race. Not sure why it's on tv but it looks like fun for the riders.

So the UCI has decided to ban Michael Boogerd for 2 years. He no longer rides of course, but this also means he can no longer be a teammanager at Roompot-Oranje.

The verdict comes just THREE YEARS after he confessed to using EPO and blood transfusions "on and off" for about 10 years during his career.

This is the part where I gasp and shake my head at the UCI but deep down this is no better than I expected. Every parent knows that timeliness is critical when disciplining a wayward child.

*Gasp* UCI, how could you?!

We've got the TDU coming up, which doesn't really count because it's so early in the season it doesn't even much of a purpose as a tune-up for the Classics. Nice to watch cycling in the daytime, though.

The Australian Road champs were held on the weekend, Jack Bobridge just basically blitzed everyone so most of the field had dropped out by the end of the race.

Yup saw Sky on the road the other day.

There was an elevated median strip, otherwise I would have done my job allahu akbar friends.

No but seriously it's pretty cool seeing all the teams riding around downtown Adelaide. Last year I saw a team member turn up to my local supermarket and buy like 10 ice coffees.

The anti-cycling tone in that article is pretty gross. No mention that they're a team of pros out on a training ride (other than the photo) but implied that they were riding too fast to be in control and the singer was a victim.

What is with the usage of "gross" in this type of context all of a sudden? Is this a millennial thing?

Malori has been placed in an induced coma after fracturing his skull in this

I can't work out what causes the first guy to go down, but thats a nasty smash. Gaviria also broke his arm in the crash.

Edit:

And an English driver on the wrong side of the road just annihilated Giant's squad on a training camp in Spain. No confirmed names for the injured but Barguil is apparently hurt.
