Can’t find the other racing thread and don’t have a lot to say, but bjorg lambrecht from lotto soudal has died in a crash, really sad.
Missed checkpoint 3, so that probably pushed his decision along as well
Really sad. There’s a really good obit on cyclingnews as well.
meanwhile in other ultra cycling news, christine mackenzie is attempting to break the women’s LEJOG record but it looks like she won’t manage it
Wind direction (and speed) must be a huge factor in these attempts - do they plan/time/wait for the right time to set off or just take their chances?
yeah, i think so. when i’ve seen jasmijn muller’s attempts, she’s often rescheduled them right at the last minute due to the weather
she looks absolutely fine ffs
Surprised Antoine Vayer didn’t accuse her of doping. That’s what he normally uses Twitter for.
Is he your best friend
I wish
He was a soignier at Festina when the whole thing blew open in the late 1990s.

fucking hell.
Very much enjoyed this, but can’t help but feel you need a natty logo for your brand
Impressed with Fiona Kolbinger, she rode well. I was put onto the TCR a while ago by our company MD who is also a bit of a long distance cyclist. It turns out he went to uni with the late Mike Hall who helped start the TCR and inspired him to go further with his cycling.
I’ve loved following it.
this is ludicrous
cycled past it when I did windsor-chester-windsor. looked really nice.
some proper nimby having a moan innit
how much noise are cyclists making?
100 penge cyclists outside se20 cyclists every sunday make shitloads of noise. it’s surprising.
it’s obviously fine though, fucking hell. cars make more noise.
fiona kolbinger’s lack of faff time is absolutely incredible, look at this
