Jolanda Neff wins Olympic MTB gold in
all-Swiss podium.
"The
28-year-old took control on the first of five full laps,
ultimately opening a gap that no-one was able to close.
Long-time rival and reigning world champion Pauline
Ferrand-Prevot (France) had led with Neff for part of
the opening lap, but the Frenchwoman took a tumble late
in lap 1."

Olympics?
"Did
Neff’s dropper post save her race? Did van der Poel’s
fixed steatpost end his Olympics? It’s hard to say.
Since the situations were slightly different, it’s not
as simple as saying van der Poel wouldn’t have crashed
if he had a dropper post."

What Kate Courtney, Haley Batten, and others
said after the women’s MTB race.
"It’s
tough to understand how much it changed. They were
making changes to the course up until the moment we
started. I really respect the riders, Jolanda [Neff] is
one of the best technical riders in the field. She’s
someone who probably benefited from the conditions and
is really able to be adaptable and manage those."

"If
you aren't bothered about going tubeless and want a
really supple tire that you can ride at high pressures
then take a look at the Vredestein Fortezza Senso
Superiore, a handmade 'open tubular' that is grippy,
rolls like there is no resistance whatsoever, and is
looking to be durable across a range of weather
conditions."

Dlamini grabbed headlines at the Tour de France when he

"When
it comes to working on bicycles, air compressors are
most commonly used for two key tasks. Firstly and
perhaps most beneficially, they’re the perfect tool for
drying things off after they’ve been washed, or for
blowing grit out of tight crevices (such as derailleurs
and brakes)."
