This...

"Roger Kluge’s surprise win on stage 17 was IAM Cycling’s first WorldTour win since August last year and helped to turn an otherwise average Giro d’Italia into something worth celebrating for the team. Meanwhile at the Belgium Tour, IAM Cycling was racing to a stage win and first and second overall …

Of course, the timing of these results could be a coincidence, but knowing you’re out of a job and your team is folding at the end of the season does tend to provide extra motivation. The one good thing about the announcement of the team’s closure is that it’s still early in the year and all riders will have ample time to try and find another ride. Expect some more strong results from IAM Cycling in the months to come."


What do the successful teams do, that have their riders ride out of their skin and get victories outside of contract years?

David Canada dies from a head injury at a Gran Fondo. So sad and unfortunate. I wonder about the helmet he was wearing or any other details regarding the crash he had with another cyclist.

I don't even know who the other person is. If he is serious, good for him, and who ever the other guy is. If it's a joke, then I'm not sure who he has climbed into bed with - it may just be a new sponsorship deal being announced for all I know! :lol:

I think he was expecting too much from himself or either his dad who isn't a "soft man".
