Jumbo-Visma and Soudal-Quickstep are merging into one soul-crushing behemoth that will destroy pro cycling. Well, maybe.

It's that time of year for the outlandish, the absurd, the improbable and the ridiculous. [...] The post Even more silly WorldTour team rumors. appeared first on Twisted Spoke ..read more

How the mighty have free-fallen. Remember how just three or four years ago, Ineos Grenadiers were the most dominant stage race team in pro cycling? They had seamlessly transitioned from Tour winner Bradley Wiggins to four time Tour winner Chris Froome and then, as Froome began his fade, in pedaled Egan Bernal to win his [...] The post Ineos Genadiers: shopping for relevance appeared first on Twisted Spoke ..read more

I stole this from my wife. I had originally bought the Bontrager Adventure top tube bag ($42.99) for my wife's bike. It was simple, compact, easy to attach and water-resistant. However, I began borrowing it more and more and now, we're at the bickering stage of who deserves the Adventure more. Probably me -- I'm the [...] The post Review: Bontrager Adventure top tube bag appeared first on Twisted Spoke ..read more

Once we moved part-time to a big East coast city, we decided to skip having a car. Didn't want the expense and hassles of street parking, gas and insurance, parking tickets or the dread DUI after too many cocktails. Save the planet was also in the back of our minds. So the plan was no [...] The post Review: Banjo Brothers Grocery Panniers. Score! appeared first on Twisted Spoke ..read more

Chris Horner,  first American winner of the Vuelta a Espana hopes Sepp Kuss, the second winner, will jumpstart US road cycling. We sincerely hope he's right but this seems highly unlikely. "The racing scene in the US is drowning or at best its nose is over the water. Hopefully, this brings out the exposure but [...] The post Major Kuss Effect on US road cycling?

Can a shadow win the Vuelta a Espana? After today's stage 16 summit finish to Bejes, the answer appears to be no, highly unlikely. It was a surprise and not a surprise when Jonas Vingegaard (3rd on GC) attacked race leader and teammate Sepp Kuss at 3.8 kilometers from the finish. So much for the [...] The post The Shadow appeared first on Twisted Spoke ..read more

Jumbo-Visma cannibalism?

Will Jumbo-Visma devour one of their own? After a week of debate, most cycling experts seem to think it's unlikely Jonas Vingegaard or Primoz Roglic would attack their own teammate in order to win the Vuelta a Espana for themselves. The argument is based on the idea that Kuss has been instrumental in helping them [...] The post Jumbo-Visma cannibalism? appeared first on Twisted Spoke ..read more

Who besides Jumbo Visma now has a shot at winning the Vuelta a Espana? Nobody. Remco Evenepoel (Soudal Quickstep) lost all hope in a shocking jour sans on the Cold d'Aubisque, losing about 30 minutes to the stage winner Jonas Vingegaard. João Almeida (UAE Team Emirates) also lost several minutes, falling all the way to [...] The post Jumbo-Visma slams door shut appeared first on Twisted Spoke ..read more
