Tom Boonen rode his final “race” and what a spectacle that was.

Chad Young, a 21 year old from the Axeon Hagens Berman Cycling Team passed away last Friday. He was unable to recover from head injuries resulting from a crash at the Tour of the Gila the weekend previous. Our condolences go to his family, friends and teammates at this very difficult time.

We talk men’s and women’s Tour de Yorkshire as well as the Tour de Romandie won by Richie Porte.

We’ve got Wattage Bazooka, Tech Of The Week which is an unstealable bike! Hacks and bodges galore as well chainholders, Simon’s favourite!
