France.
"There
was a moment during this year's Tour de France when, with the peloton

something – anything – happen.

are created equal.
There’s been some real good looking champs kits over the years, but there’s been a few stinkers too…which got us thinking about which exactly were the worst world champion’s kits over the years." (cyclingweekly.co.uk) October

Riders and Fans React as La Course Moves from
Paris.
"There
were hopes this year that we’d see Paris race La Course expand to take
the event one step closer to a women’s Tour de France – but those hopes
were dashed when event organizers made their big 2017 announcement.

Tested: Cannondale SuperSix EVO Hi-Mod Disc.
"Most
manufacturers claim that the frames of disc-brake race bikes retain the
light and lively feel of the rim-brake version; sadly, this is rarely
the case. Added layers of carbon to reinforce disc-brake zones and the
extra weight they carry can leave them a pedal stroke behind.
The new Cannondale Super Six EVO Disc does a better job than any previous race bike at going disc. In fact, we think the disc version is a better all-around race package." (pelotonmagazine.com) October
