Watching the cyclocross at Zondhoven and laughing at the tens of thousands of fans while Doha had exactly zero (0) judging from my bad stream.

I can't help it, I think Froome is pretty great. If he can get Wiggins' Tour stripped then he'd have 4...

2017 tour route has been announced. Looks good for Cav to have a whinge over when he fucks it up. Some big bastard mountain stages in there too.

So Cancellara is finally retiring this weekend. It's kind of funny how he started with Mapei, and every team he's been on since has been slightly less cool than the one which preceded it. Mapei - Fassa Bortolo - CSC - Saxo - Leopard-Trek - Trek Factory, etc

The Abu Dhabi tour have on board power/hr data and its really cool watching them go up a mountain. Roche sat at 390w with a HR in the 190's.

The UCI have agreed to keep the number of world tour teams at 18 for the next two years, so Dimension Data have been saved from relegation.

The bemoaning of Dimension Data is really weird to me. Everyone had access to the point system going into the season, which favors GC, and yet their top placing at the tour was like 65th. They reaped what they sowed.

But they are the ones that are screaming smaller pelotons after every crash. Apparently the pelotons must be smaller but my team must stay the same size... Thought that through brilliantly.
