Joanna Roswell has retired from cycling. An inspiration to many she was.

Anyone going to be watching the World Track Cycling Championships which are currently taking place?

Didn't know it was happening actually - might give some of it a watch!

 

That Canadian team crash looks nasty though :o

Anyone watching the Tour de Yorkshire? We're going to see some of it on the Sunday. Nasty crash today though :o Hope there are no serious consequences.

Didn't see it today. I'll catch up soon though.

Amazing team effort from Dimension Data to give Pauwels the win!

 

Was good to watch from the road as well, they cut to an ad break just as they went past where we were standing though :P

Gianni Moscon has been suspended for six weeks by Team Sky after racially abusing a rival:

Can't believe this sort of stuff still happens, Moscon isn't exactly a key player for Sky so I doubt they'll renew his contract.

Chris Froome has escaped unhurt from being 'rammed' by a car driver while training:

A huge congratulations on Chris Froome winning a fourth Tour De France. Cycling isn't a Sport I'm all that interested in nor do pay too much attention to but I can appreciate what a magnificent achievement that is.

 

A very overlooked athlete I feel given the boom in British Cycling in recent years & it's a shame he'll once again probably get overlooked in the SPOTY shortlist.

Chris Froome has confirmed that he will ride in this year's Vuelta a Espana next month.

 

 

Becky James has decided to retire from cycling at the age of 25. She was a double track World Champion and Olympic silver medallist.

 

 

Finally finished watching the Vuelta (barring the last day, hoping nothing dramatic happened there!) Great win for Froomey, nice to see Zakarin in the Top 3 and Contador FINALLY getting that win for Spain on the second-to-last day :lol: Moscon (oops at saying he wasn't very valuable earlier in this thread) and Poels have been great team-mates for Chris, hopefully they can get some of their own glory soon enough (although Poels kind of did by ending up in the Top 10)

News of this week that Jason Kenny has reversed his decision to retire from cycling.
