“…[a] frightened cow sprinted directly through the middle of our peloton while race officials hurled small stones at it in a futile attempt to corral it safely aside. Thankfully, no cyclists were hurt in the episode, and judging by the poor aim of the officials, the cow also escaped unscathed.”

The tell-tale cable squid of the @ShimanoRoad 6600. It’s cost me hundreds of miles, two races, and hours of frustrating repairs. (Taken with Instagram at Suffercave)

Oh hey, I found where Stybar’s WC kit went. Peter Northug stole it.

Who’s this poser in the Omega kit?? Oh right. It’s Stybar. That’s weird.

Definitely weird. Like Levi fell down a rabbit hole and found a cupcake that said “EAT ME”.

You will never complain that a stateside ‘cross course is too hard again.

i still stand by that the BMC kit is one of the top 3 best looking kit this year and last, maybe even #1…designing a good kit is not easy espcially with restraints of sponsors but it still amazes me how bad some kits are 
Can’t say I’m totally in love with Gilbert’s Belgian kit—seems a little bottom-heavy and unfinished with all that red. Plus mismatched  BMC logos (top black, bottom white) feel like a split kit.
But two thumbs up for the fat and shameless rainbows on Cadel’s sleeves. Way too many kits have wimpy narrow stripes that don’t give former world champs their due.

This is resonant to me. I would like to affiliate myself with this brand’s product and/or service.

I know it’s a little late in season for Belgian CX porn, but here it is.
