So wait, they are turning to the public to try and raise money via issuance of shares? SKETCHY. No prospectus. No income statement. No balance sheet. If it were really an attractive investment some PE firm would have jumped on it. This has all the feelings of a last ditch effort to raise the money they need by swindling the public to be a part of something "disruptive". If I am wrong, they'd be more transparent. Here is my guess: The initial angel investor essentially ran a team for a few years. All money was into getting to races, paying...

Adam Brayton is like 32

Loic's interview was most excellent! Love hearing the respect he has for Minnaar, especially how f×+king pissed he is when Greg beats him!

As a Shimano brake evangelist, I must admit my SRAM codes and guide REs that came on my last 2 bikes have been perfectly functional. Top tip: stay 1 number of gears less than the current maximum. I rode 10speed 11-36 cassettes until 2 years ago, now on 11speed 10-42 (removed a 12speed group that came with my bike, it was absolutely trash SRAM nx). Other than tyres, these are the most frequently replaced parts, staying 1 gear behind saves you massive amounts of money, and quite a bit of weight/dollar. Also other than matching shifter + cassette, you can...

Worst: Maxxis Aggressor - sucks for climbing, doesn't stop well, should have gone with a Minion SS, 'cause at least it can corner SRAM Guide - not as good as Levels or cantis Bontrager Blaze helmet with Wavecel - expensive, hot and heavy, just what I want in a halfshell helmet Best: Carbon rims on everything - no more flat spots Vorsprung Luftkappe - amazing Dropper posts that aren't Reverbs - most rides I use my dropper more often than I shift Jury's Out: Intoxicated while riding - set some PRs while hammered, but it seems like a bad idea...

Some stuff I have had good luck with: One Up bars, I have nerve damage in both arms and these made a huge difference. Ergon grips help also but I find the grip is less important with these bars. I like everything One Up makes, as said by others, have not tried the stem. Stan's Dart, only had to use once and it was great, quickest I ever had a puncture seal up, had 2 difference holes and it worked on both and I was on may way (One Up Pump is great also). Have done the several pieces of...

The Eurocentrism of the UCI is just as big of a problem for road cycling in the US. UCI simply assumes that the rest of the world has a broad base of club racing that builds up symmetrically through regional and national pro ranks just like France, Spain & Italy, when the truth is that southern & central Europe are the only places that depth and breadth of racing. The sport is ruled by a bunch of old, white patriarchs with zero ability to see over the edge of their own plates. Listening is not in the job description: they...

Ummm, rich? Neko drives a 90's Ford Explorer & lives in the backwoods of NC. Luca Shaw, he rode the same dinky small town BMX tracks as me. Dakotah Norton...little house in the Northeast. I saw Neko when he was young riding hoop rides and smoking pros and not complaining. I watched the Shaw brothers work their butts off all day every day & their dad use all his time off to run them to anything on 2 wheels that said the word "race". I've been at Nationals where 2 guys in a decked out diesel with built in extra...

Spomer. That race wasn't in Georgia. It was even further south. Birmingham Alabama Bump & Grind. I regret not going with Herndon. It was a borderline disaster for him and Bosch. The DH wasn't deadly but had a burly part and both of those guys got hurt . Bosch realized so long as he rolled down IN A SLING with 1 arm on the bar, he'd get the needed UCI points and heal up in time for UCI racing but Herndon didn't. That is the UCI struggle bus in a nutshell.

Remember that TV is dead. I assume most viewers are streaming so it's not a problem to have 80 riders on the live broadcast, you can still watch the last 20 if you like. Having more people to be in the feed allows to maybe to get this flamboyant run from an underdog! As if RedBullMediaHouse have not been able to get the current Wordchampion run....oh wait they didn't !!! I want to see racing, not a 20mins soft drink commercial Honestly, I think we give too much credit to Red Bul in the broadcast production. I'm sure we would...

We think alike, Eddie! The ESC dumped UCI and USAC and banned tearoffs long ago. Then attendance exploded.

I have no idea about the UCI but I totally agree regarding tear-offs. I was watching worlds with my 6 year old and she spotted a rider chucking one and asked her usual “why?” question. I didn’t really know what to say so I just said someone comes and cleans them up after (likely bullshit).
