the rest of the cycling wheel world goes tubeless, for
some reason Specialized has gone big on clinchers.
Perhaps with an eye on the certification criteria for
tubeless during the making of the next generation of
these Roval Alpinist CLX wheels that won’t be

"Grand
Bornand, big win. The Laval time trial was important,
the Col de Romme was decisive. Stage 8 was hectic from
the start with riders trying to go clear and at one
point Tadej Pogačar joined in an early breakaway, a move
that said plenty about the chaotic racing."

"We
examine the 2021 Tour as a spectacle, wondering why the
race fizzled out after the high-octane first week, and

should never give up.

Wout van Aert: I'm just a little cyclist
compared with Eddy Merckx.
"Van
Aert's victory - his sixth in three Tour appearances -
came in the jersey of Belgian champion, and it was
perhaps inevitable that after preserving Merckx's hold

second coming of the Cannibal."
