Happy New Year and I guess this should go here.
WVA is just like a moto throwing a roost as he blasts through the sand section. He doesnt need to motopace cause he is the Moto.
I see Van Emple is riding for Jumbo and running the Sram 1X in the latest CX race. I like how she finishes the race and stops at the line to display her new ride. I think she has adjusted to the new group and frame well.

Happy Newyear!

Movistar changes clothing sponsor from La Passionne to Gobik after only 1 year. Seems like they weren’t happy.
Also EF kit leaked already, thx Amador!

EF Education-Tibco-SVB theme is the exact same for the jersey. The women's bibs are dark blue...not sure if the men's shorts remains blue-green. Even their socks are two different shades of pink.

Commenting here just so I can get on the update email list.

I can't wait for the 2023 season to really get underway.

Do any of our friends down under have updates on races? I think the bay crits are going, right?

Yes but then again Gobik is a Spanish brand so possibly good fit for Movistar

I have been trying more Gobik this year & been pretty happy

according to a B&B rider cavendish didn't want to ride a KTM bike so this deal fell through. In the same context it was mentioned that there were chances for the team to continue, but Pineau was the problem.

I'm sure she was still using Shimano shoes, as the teams new shoe/pedal sponsor don't make off-road equipment.

Pidcock not riding cx worlds means he has big goals during the classic’s. I hope Strada Bianca is one of them, this race is build for him

I don't quite understand the comment, Pidcock's is going to ride loads of road and has said repeatedly he's focussing on it way more than 'cross now?
