  10. The major #CycloCross series are off to a slow start this year. The good news is that there is plenty of time to plan your viewing, or if you are lucky enough, the races to visit.

    Let’s get the calendars out there.

  11. We’re up and running at the Tour de France 🇫🇷

    The rider presentation was reassuringly as awkward as always.

  12. Woke up to disappointing news this morning. I was already skeptical of Vingegaard’s chances of beating Pog this year, but even less so now. If Roglič is in peak form then just maybe. That’s what I’m going to be pulling for. #Cycling #Velophants #TdF #LeTour #TourdeFrance

  13. CW: Cycling Spoilers

    Just under a week before the start of the #TourdeFrance and Pidders absolutely SMASHES the field at the #UCI #mountainbike World Cup. He’s clearly in some of the best form of his career. I’m leery of an actual Pidcock GC campaign, but I expect him to be very active and mixing it up quite a bit, especially in the first week. Can’t wait! #Velophants #BikeTooter #TdF #Cycling

  14. Jumbo announces they will take Jonas Vingegaard to #TdF. Is he back to 100% and race ready or is it a decoy for other ambitions? Time will tell but I think it will definitely make the race more exciting either way. #Velophants #LeTour #TourdeFrance #BikeTooter

  15. I’m a big fan of Le Tour de France and am partial to the merchandise.

    But, if the official shop thinks it can add an extra charge to an order at the very final stage of the process, after all details have been collected, it can shove it.

    And, what the hell is a charge for ‘warehouse storage cost and packing cost’ anyway? I am already be paying for shipping. What next? An extra charge for staff toilet paper?

    Disgusting.

    ‘Place order’? No way.

  16. Time to start planning the best viewing spots for the next Cyclo-Cross World Championships, being held in Liévin, France 🇫🇷 🙂

  17. Calling all #BikeTooters and #Velophants! The back adjustment screw has fallen out of my rear brake caliper, a Tektro Aries 180, does anyone know where I'd get a replacement? I'm in Ireland.

  18. I didn’t realise I couldn’t toot more than one video at a time. Here is the second one.

    (Alt text:) These videos, showing multiple cars and riders in very close proximity, and one car deciding to drive on the pavement, are worrying.

  19. I would expect that the safety of all involved in a bike race, particularly the riders, to be a priority.

    Watching #ParisRoubaix recently, I struggled with how the conditions created by the race, particularly involving cars, are tolerable. (Alt text:) These videos, showing multiple cars and riders in very close proximity, and one car deciding to drive on the pavement, are worrying.

  20. Happy #Koksijde Day! Not long to go until the Elite Women’s race at the #Duinencross, which is now part of the X20 Badkamers Trofee. This race is a big favourite of mine.

  21. It’s time for round one of the #Superprestige cyclo-cross race series in #Overijse.

    I was there last year when the race was part of the World Cup series. The racing was great. The speed carried by the riders through the wet and muddy woods was so impressive.

    The beer tent was not quite so impressive!

  22. Next up, round one of the #Superprestige cyclo-cross series at #Overijse.

    Looking ahead, we have the traditional Christmas visit to Heusden-Zolder, followed by the night race at Diegem which will be an exciting couple of festive days.
