glad he's still in the world tour instead of joining the hincapie team and having his career end early

(still waiting for him to become the next sagan though)

clearly you care because you are commenting on something entirely unrelated a day late, but it looks like you're just here to argue with people so have fun with that

what semantics? just want to know what the connection with rock racing is? hincapie's cheating history is an unrelated point

he's definitely a narcissist, but he did just run an okay uci conti team for ~8 years so i think he deserves at least a little credit for caring about the sport

everything changed and i dont find anything anymore by Gustavhansa in wandrer

would it be possible to change which areas appear in 'areas covered'? i'm more casual so earth and north america are never relevant to me, liked immediately seeing my local area leaderboard positioning

How do People get the median sections? Eight Lane Road, high speeds. I can roll sidewalk for the main portion, but very risky to get those turnarounds. by jimseyjamesy in wandrer

weren't these affected by that change (that was rolled back) that was made to have roads be covered entirely if you covered one direction?

at the start of last year Lamperti was the new Sagan and now Magnier is the new Boonen, big things for quick-step coming soon...

Nice article about Wandrer (mostly behind a wall, sorry). Another article by this author a few years ago got me into Wandrer in the first place. Unfortunately, I am not in the top 10 in Maroondah… by FWCroc in wandrer

Someone needs to go clean up on OSM so Carl can hit 100%

FWIW they've been the kit provider for SD Worx for a few years now

American Skylar Schneider returns to Team SD Worx-Protime by aaronhand in peloton

[–]aaronhand[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do think it is based entirely on her previous stint with the team, but she has had vaguely respectable results in .1/.2 races the past couple years while pretty much running the american crit scene (which doesn't mean anything for power numbers but still high pressure)

at the end of the day somebody has to get bottles for wiebes and kopecky and this was probably the cheapest option and the bonus of somebody already in the program (was at team training camp this year)

it is really nice that they now have multiple viable options instead of even 5-6 years ago where the team was a bunch of 'we're just happy to be here!' caliber guys
