The Radavist

The peloton better watch out!

In Episode 7, the Riding Fixed Up Mountains with Pros team met up with Toms Skujins only one week after his 2018 cycling season, which saw a King of the Mountains Jersey in Tour of California and the Tour De France, a national TT championship (Latvia), and multiple stages won around the world. They chat with Toms about his homeland Latvia, living in Colorado, bike racing, and of course his love of potatoes.

Rapha returns to the men’s WorldTour in 2019 with EF Pro Cycling.

I didn’t expect to be here in Reno during Interbike but I did expect to be in Nevada. We’re embarking on a tour of Highway 50’s best-kept secrets: its mountain bike trails. Over the next several days, we’ll be heading east on 50, stopping along the way to soak in the culture and shred the trails that are barely noticeable from the highway. Last night, we – the random group of ragtag riders – met at Reno Cross to cheer on the racers and bid adieu to Reno for the time being. While there I did my best to shoot the event, not expecting to get anything of value yet sometimes I surprise myself…

Jordi Cortes from FOX and Luca Shaw discuss what works and what doesn’t work on a professional downhill bike like the Santa Cruz V10.

I think at this point, we have to accept the fact that athletes are going to dope, but that doesn’t mean we can’t find doper’s excuses humorous!

We don’t post these videos all too often, but when wrecks happen at the tour, there’s an increase in gnar factor. Luckily Philippe Gilbert appears to be ok! Got a favorite Tour crash? Post it up in the comments!

Striking a balance between work and family can be particularly difficult when your job is a pro cyclist. Meet the women of Mitchelton-SCOTT in the latest video from the She’s Out There web series.

Dave Moulton wrote a piece on Eddy Merckx, comparing his legacy to that of Chris Froome’s with a critical edge:

“By opting out of the Tour de France in 1973, Eddy Merckx still goes down in history as the “Greatest Rider Ever,” by the sheer number of races the won over the years. He chose the honor people’s feelings over his own ego.

What a shame that Chris Froome is not taking a leaf from Eddy’s book and opting voluntarily out of this year’s Tour de France. Why would anyone want to participate in an event when no one wants you there?”

In a freak accident, total bad ass of a cyclocross star Katie Compton was mangled at the start of Saturday’s race – the Ijsboerke Ladies Trophy – in Lille, Belgium by a fellow racer’s disc brake rotor during a crash. This kind of event is exactly what the UCI will use to solidify their disc brake safety laws. You can see the graphic photo at Mr. Katie Compton’s Twitter. On a more positive note, it appears the laceration was clean enough to make dressing the wound easy. Personally, I think it’s one hell of a story and accompanying battle wound.

Congrats on your killer season, Katie. Heal up quick!!

We already saw the Women’s Elite highlights, now here are the highlights from the Men’s.
