Cav has delayed his retirement to ride next year's TdF

No Sagan to put him in the barriers either.

That was a horrible thing to watch when it happened.

The look on Cav's face told you that he knew he was in trouble but he couldn't get out of it.

Was Sagan banned for this?

Only from the remainder of the 2017 TdF. To this day he says he sees no reason for the DQ.

Sagan is a big unit and it wasn't clear that his action was deliberate bit it was a really bad moment for Cav.

Seems Rohan Dennis has been charged with killing his wife with a car.

Just booked a week in Tenerife in March for a spot of early season conditioning, obviously I'll be doing Mount Teide but if anyone has any routes or tips for the island please let me know

I see Tom Pidcock summed up the start of Pogacar's season as WTF.

Laura Kenny retiring Britain's most successful female Olympian with 5 golds plus 7 World Championship titles, that is a brilliant career.

Brilliant career.

However, whenever I watch the women cycling team I always remember a comment I read. I think it was Laura Trott, as she was, stand corrected if I’m mistaken.
She was basically asked if the women shaved below for comfort in the saddle. ‘No’ she replied ‘it’s much better the other way, extra padding’ 😂

Probably not.
I can’t remember where I read it, but she wasn’t directly asked, it was sort of hinted at when talking about how uncomfortable riding can be for prolonged distance.

When I google searched it (carefully), it was a question asked at Rio 2016 apparently. It didn't have her reply but it was mentioned that some of the team were uncomfortable* with the questioning.

I remember when Jason Kenny was pictured at Wimbledon (?) with Laura and the caption read something along the lines of 'Multiple Olympic gold medallist cyclist Jason Kenny and his wife'.

Ahh, I wonder if the reply was added on a bit later and as there was a photo of one of the girls I assumed that was her answer.
