The 2023 Paris-Roubaix winner marks the occasion with a trademark dance

CyclistWinners and losers of the second week of the 2024 Vuelta a EspaaWere into the final week of the 2024 Vuelta a Espaa and weve seen it all well, nearly it all at this years race. After 15 stages, the Spanish Grand Tour has proved to be one of the most enthralling in years. Plenty of twists and turns await in the final week as the race heads for showdowns on the Lagos de Covadonga and Picn Blanco, before a final time-trial around Madrid.For the moment, Ben OConnor remains at the top of the overall classification, leading Primo Rogli by by 1min 03sec and Enric Mas by 2min 23sec. Wout van Aert continues to lead both the points classification and the mountains classification after 15 stages, while Roglis teammate Florian Lipowitz wears the white jersey for the best young rider. Last week, we saw wins from Van Aert, Eddie Dunbar, Pablo Castrillo, Michael Woods and Kaden Groves.As we take a break for a final rest day, lets assess who the winners and losers of the races second week were.Winner: Pablo CastrilloUnipublic/Sprint Cycling AgencyIn week one, the Spanish wildcard teams showed us that they might be the most courageous out of all the Grand Tour wildcards. They made the podium on a couple of occasions, with some surprise performances inside the top ten. Theyve had the bravery to go in the breakaway Giro and Tour teams take note playing the wildcard game the old-school way.A study in perseverance, Kern-Pharmas Pablo Castrillo became a familiar face in the breakaways, but on Stage 13 he did one better with a stage win at Montaa de Manzaneda, proving hes more than just a breakaway filler. With a stage win in his first Grand Tour, hes played a blinder. A couple of days later on Stage 15, Castrillo tried again at Cuitu Negru, the toughest climb on this Vueltas parcours. In the fog, the 23-year-old duelled against Sasha Vlasov in the final kilometre before toppling the Russian in the steep finale to claim a second win. This man is now well and truly on the map. Rumoured to be heading to Ineos Grenadiers next year, we hope Castrillo can get himself for a big WorldTour contract on the back of this exceptional Grand Tour performance.

He may not be in the red leaders jersey (yet), but the Slovenian has made major inroads towards claiming the overall victory in Madrid on Sunday. Day after day he has chipped away at OConnors lead, reducing the gap over the course of the week by nearly three minutes to now stand just 1min 03sec behind in the GC with three crucial mountain stages and a time-trial to come. The Red Bull leader demonstrated some great climbing form on the slopes of the Puerto de Ancares on Stage 13 in particular, halving his deficit on that day alone. He continued to boss the GC group on Stage 15 with another impressive show of strength in the steep finales. Despite picking up a 20-second penalty for drafting, the red jersey is now almost within reach, even if he isnt able to close in any further before the final time-trial on Sunday.If he does win the race on Sunday, it would equal the overall record of four Vuelta wins currently held by Spaniard Roberto Heras. It would also provide Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe with the big headline victory they have been looking for this season.Winner: Eddie DunbarUnipublic/Sprint Cycling AgencyI remember in 2015 when bets were being placed on Eddie Dunbar being a future Tour de France winner. He was only 18 at the time.Now at the age of 27, the Munsterman claimed his first Grand Tour stage victory, and the first win for Ireland at a Grand Tour this year. This was a feel-good moment for cycling fans after Dunbars tumultuous journey through the ranks, which has seen big expectations clash with team deceit and injuries. From the breakaway on Stage 11, Dunbar, a lightweight climber, jumped away from the group of punchier riders to claim a solo win in a hugely cunning manner. That victory combined with a run of good form throughout the second week has seen Dunbar rise to 15th place overall.He enters an elite club of Munster riders to claim a victory at the Vuelta alongside Sean Kelly and Sam Bennett. It continues Irelands habit over the years of overperforming at Grand Tours. Only 19 Irishmen have ever ridden Grand Tours, and ten of whom are now stage winners. Winner: Florian LipowitzUnipublic/Sprint Cycling AgencyIts only Florian Lipowitzs second Grand Tour, and the first time he has gone as far as the second week after he abandoned the Giro after Stage 5 earlier this year. Its fair to say, then, that hes been something of a revelation during the 2024 Vuelta. While he showed glimpses of his prowess earlier this year at the Tour de Romandie, the German has truly stepped up onto the Grand Tour stage over the first two weeks of Spains Grand Tour.The Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe rider has doubled up as a secondary GC leader and super-domestique for Primo Rogli. In balancing these two roles, Lipowitz has been noticeable throughout this race, especially in the second week of racing. He provided some fantastic mountain tows on Stages 13 and 15, and he has weathered the GC storm, currently sitting in sixth place in the general classification.On top of this, Lipowitz leads a fierce fight for the young riders white jersey. His consistency has been noticeable, especially in comparison to his competitors for this prize in Mattias Skjelmose and Carlos Rodrguez who have both gone through peaks and troughs during this Vuelta. At the age of just 23, Lipowitz has given team principal Ralf Denk a lot to think about. Is he the future leader of this team, the heir to Roglis energy drink throne?Winners: Sprinters in the mountainsUnipublic/Sprint Cycling AgencyThis week has seen sprinters punch above their weight in the hills. Mauro Schmid, Kaden Groves and Wout van Aert have all finished on the podium of mountain stages this week.In a rather surreal turn of events, Groves won a mountain stage featuring a 23km climb in the final 50km. Van Aert has also shown his hand in the mountains this week. We already knew he could climb of course, but probably didnt expect him to be leading the Vueltas polka-dot jersey standings (as well as the points jersey standings). In doing so he has been defeating more lightweight climbers like Jay Vine and Marc Soler, with the cherry on the top being his Stage 10 victory, taken after he escaped from the break over the final climb. Is Van Aert testing his climbing legs ahead of the World Championships? Well soon find out.Loser: UAE Team EmiratesSprint Cycling Agency/UAE Team EmiratesThis is a bittersweet inclusion. The squad suffered a big blow when they lost JooAlmeida at the end of Stage 8 last week. And while the team have since lit up the race, theyve failed to either score a stage win or make inroads into the top ten overall. Yes, Pavel Sivakov has slipped into tenth place, but thats a poor return for a team that started the Vuelta with a blockbuster roster capable of so much more. If only Tadej Pogaar were here.To continue the negatives of the week, Adam Yates slipped out of the top ten. After receiving a GC lifeline last week, he has been far off the top pace on week two, and now sits 11th overall. The exciting Isaac del Toro, meanwhile, has fallen out of contention citing illness while Brandon McNulty suffered a major blow in a downhill crash on Stage 13.Marc Soler has at least been a regular fixture in the breakaway. He finished in third on three separate occasions during the second week, often getting outfoxed by other riders in the escape group, mainly down to his frantic tactics. Jay Vine, meanwhile, has managed to rack up a good number of mountains points this week and is now tied with Wout van Aert in that classification, but he has some work to do in the final week if he wants to defeat him. Van Aert has demonstrated his intent to win the competition, so Vine will need to produce something special in the high mountains on Stages 16, 19 and 20 if he wants to claim the jersey.UAE Team Emirates have every chance to turn around their Vuelta before the end of the race on Sunday, but it will probably require another stage win and Vine to win the mountains prize to do so. They have enough firepower to do it, they just need to race with their heads a little more in the final week.Loser: Every UCI-mandated yellow card handedUnipublic/Cxcling/Toni BaixauliYellow cards? Am I watching the right sport? Well, yes. Cycling now has a yellow card system akin to professional football. For bad behaviour, riders are handed a yellow card as a warning. If they receive another, the penalty is a week-long suspension and a disqualification from that given race. This rule was adopted at the beginning of August and has been met with a lukewarm response, mainly due to the lack of clarification surrounding incidents where the yellow card has been used. The UCI dont explain their decisions beyond having set out the 21 cycling crimes (listed in article 2.12.007 of theUCI Regulations) that warrant the warning being issued. I will also clarify that the UCI dont hand out a physical yellow card like a FIFA World Cup referee, they are quietly handed out behind the scenes.During the Vuelta, quite a few of these have been dished out. After Stage 11, four yellow cards were given to Decathlon-AG2R three to riders and one to sports director Cyril Dessel for blocking the road, causing Richard Carapaz to crash. This caused a bit of a stir to say the least. Decathlon hit out against the decision, pleading their innocence. We dont know whether Decathlons move to block the road was a deliberate tactic or not, but that doesnt matter to the UCI. The Decathlon quartet arent the only ones to have fallen foul of the guidelines, however. Alexandr Shefer, an Astana staff member, received a booking for leaning out of the team car; James Knox was noted down in the referees book for incorrect, indecent or dangerous behaviour towards spectators. In truth, this new system has been a bit of a farce this week.And dont get me started on Roglis 20 second penaltyLoser: Bahrain VictoriousSprint Cycling Agency/Bahrain VictoriousDid anyone see Bahrain Victorious this week? I am not sure they actually continued riding after the previous rest day. Maybe they got lost in the Carrefour supermarket on Stage 6? The team failed to make the top ten on a single stage during the second week of the Vuelta. This is mightily disappointing from a team that has regularly podiumed Grand Tours and captured stage wins in the past.Jack Haig, podium finisher at this race just three years ago, has slipped down the GC standings to now sit a lowly 19th, with Torstein Tren their next best placed rider down in 57th place. Yes, they lost Antonio Tiberi at the end of the first week, but they have rarely been seen in the breakaway attempting to lick their wounds with an escapee victory since. Its not like the breakaways havent been successful so far in this Vuelta either. Bahrain Victorious just havent been in them.If they do leave the race without a stage win, it will make this their first year without a Grand Tour stage win since they were created in 2017. Theyre also now on track to finish the year with just one GC top ten in Grand Tours, also a first in the teams history. Is this a blip in form, or have they permanently lost their sparkle? Will they be renamed Bahrain Defeated in 2025? So many questions, and so few answersLoser: Ineos GrenadiersUnipublic/Cxcling/Naike EreozagaThe weekly Ineos Grenadiers soapbox continues. Johnathan Narvez has given us glimmers of hope albeit in his final Grand Tour for the team before he leaves for UAE Team Emirates but Ineos are continuing to disappoint.Carlos Rodrguez lost his lead in the white jersey with all the panache of a wet sponge. The Spaniard has a proven record of wobbling in the final week, so expect him to also fall behind the rejuvenated Mattias Skjelmose in the stages to come. The British team still are without a stage win and Rodrguez has slipped down to eighth place overall.Call me harsh, but Ineos Grenadiers should be targeting bigger things. They are at serious risk of leaving this Vuelta without a stage win and a potential ninth or tenth place in the GC standings. Things need to change if the British team want to keep their super-team reputation if they havent lost it already.Loser: Climbers (in general)Unipublic/Cxcling/Toni BaixauliThe final losers on this list are the climbers, all of them (apart from you, Pablo Castrillo). GC riders have gone a full week without a stage win, while sprinter Kaden Groves has won a mountain stage and Wout van Aert a man whos won the sprint on the Champs-Elyses is leading the polka-dot jersey standings. Castrillo humiliated the mountain goats in the break twice this week, notably Sasha Vlasov, a former top five finisher at the Tour de France. Felix Gall who won one of the hardest Tour mountain days in recent memory bled out 30 minutes in the GC on Stage 15 while Swiss engines Mauro Schmid and Stefan Kng have kept in touch on the tougher climbs far more than we ever expected. Michael Woods is left carrying the torch for the climbers on his own, it seems.There are only three more chances for the climbers to turn it around and dethrone Van Aert in the mountains classification. The Vuelta is supposed to be their bread and butter, but so far the pelotons out-and-out mountain men have failed to impress.

Twenty seconds it can be a long time in cycling

Carwyn Thomas admitted two charges of causing bodily harm by wanton or furious driving and was sentenced to 14 months in jail, suspended for two years for the pavement collision

CyclistHow Van Rysel is making high-end look easyWhen Van Rysel was launched in 2019 with the aim of making performance road bikes, there were doubters. When it announced the RCR road bike in early 2023, again there were doubters. When it was revealed that Van Rysel would be supplying a WorldTour team in 2024, there were doubters once again. Now? Doubt has given way to interest, excitement and glowing praise.While two to three years is not an unusual amount of time between bike generations, it typically means changes are minor and are labelled as evolution, not revolution. Van Rysel, on the other hand, created the RCR from the ground up in the same timeframe, meaning it certainly was a revolution. So how do you make a world-beating road bike from scratch in such a short time?Ticking the boxesWe didnt start from scratch, says Yann Le Fraillec, Van Rysels head of product development. Van Rysel as a brand is very young but behind us is the Decathlon group, which has been manufacturing bikes for more than 40 years. So were one of the most established brands in the cycling industry we know perfectly well how to make a carbon bike, but we were missing some steps in the story, as just being able to make a carbon bike is not enough when your goal is to supply a WorldTour team. There were many points to improve upon in terms of integration, aerodynamics, carbon layup and so on.The first step was to decide what kind of bike they wanted to make. That was simple: the short deadline meant it was a no-brainer to make an aero and lightweight all-rounder especially as it would serve as a base for a time-trial bike, which was needed too.From there Van Rysel could get to work analysing the competition and figuring out what it needed to do. The first step was really to say, Okay, what are we able to do by ourselves and what are we not able to do by ourselves? Where do we need help? Sometimes we have to be humble, Le Fraillec says. We had to say there are things that we have mastered and things that we are OK with, so with the OK things that we cant do ourselves, who is the best to help us?The first such partnership began just a week into the RCR project. Le Fraillec called up aerospace lab Onera, based barely 500m from Van Rysels HQ and with facilities including seven wind-tunnels and some very capable and intelligent staff.I called them and said, Guys, you know how to make things quickly and I need help to make a bike. Do you want to work with us? And thats how the story started.To help hit the tight turnaround deadline, Onera was working on the RCR road bike while Van Rysel enlisted aerodynamics expert SwissSideto work on the time-trial bike, given its wealth of experience in cycling and Formula 1. You cant put all your eggs in one basket, Le Fraillec says.Having partnerships in place meant the team could go full speed ahead, which mostly meant working on computer models. Its 80-90% CFD [computational fluid dynamics], he says. Then we 3D print the bike, pop the frames on my shoulders and I walk to the wind-tunnel, do the tests and make the choice. Its not necessarily just the fastest ones we keep because the most aero would be too heavy, so we have to choose the perfect balance.With the design sorted, actually producing the bike was the easy part. We already had one of the best suppliers in the world, in one of the best factories the supply chain was already set up, Le Fraillec says. Moreover, in our team we have someone who is really, really skilled for the layup. Not all brands can set up their layup themselves most of the time theyre using suppliers. We have someone with more than 15 years in the carbon fibre industry who designed the layup of the frame. That can change everything because to find the right stiffness you cant do it on a computer, its all about the experience.Le Fraillec says it took only 15 months from the start of the project to producing the first rideable frame, and the second attempt at the layup was the one that stuck.That rapid pace of development continued in the brands rise to the WorldTour. While the target of the project was to enter the pro peloton in either 2024 or 2025, when the AG2R team signed up to ride Van Rysel bikes in the second half of 2023 it meant the fleet had to be ready for the season-opening Tour Down Under in January 2024. The payoff is that as Van Rysel works on new and updated bikes, it now has the added assistance of having a team of experienced pro riders for feedback.Delivering the boxesThat focus on the future is a key component for Van Rysel, as despite the impressive gains it has already made through bikes such as the RCR, its story is really only just beginning. To achieve its goal of being one of the top five cycling brands in the world, making a bike and signing up a pro team is phase one. Phase two is all about real people.Part of the reason Decathlon created Van Rysel is that it realised it was losing customers who would start their cycling journey with them but then move on to other brands once they wanted to step up. Now, with the premium products in the bag, its about cementing Van Rysel as a brand for cyclists of any level.We needed to rethink our customer journey, because the expectation for this audience is going to be different in terms of services and the wider customer experience, says David Martin, market leader for Decathlons cycling and active travel category in the UK. Its a fantastic product, we know that. Now were trying to convince people that the rest of the services we offer can really support the product.Thats one of the big reasons why we opened the Van Rysel shop inside the Decathlon Surrey Quays store. It may be inside the Decathlon building but the experience is completely separate.The look, the merchandise, the team is all different. The idea is that people can look online, book a bike-fitting service in the store workshop, have one of the guys talk them through the process and answer any questions, knowing theyll still be there to support the customer after theyve purchased the bike.Following in the footsteps of the London store, staff and mechanics from across the country have been trained including being given a session by the mechanic that gets team bikes ready for the Tour de France to make sure Van Rysel customers get the best service possible, wherever they are in the country. And where Decathlon doesnt have a store, Martins team are hoping to work with other local bike shops to deliver Van Rysels products and service.Although to be honest, when we do training the staff already know about our products and have already read up on them, Martin says. Theyre passionate about the products and really proud to sell them.And thats the secret or rather the answer, since its hardly a secret. The Van Rysel project worked, and worked quickly, because everyone involved was excited and proud to on board. If the RCR drew your attention, dont look away.

When Fizik unveiled their latest simple Venta Proxy gravel & XC racing shoes last spring in flashy orange & purple, I was pretty hyped and ready to review them. This was said to be a race-ready off-road shoe, but simpler and cheaper than the Ferox. And importantly at least in my mind incrementally flexier for better all-day comfort and walkability. And whether you loved or hated those bright colors (I count myself in the former), there are also classic single-color versions, too.So, with high expectations for a Fizik Proxy review, Ive ridden a pair hard over the summer. And Im mostly very happy with them, except in one manner. Their single Boa design means limited fit control adjustability, which Ive simply modified for improved comfort. You be the judgeReview: Fizik Venta Proxy gravel & XC shoes in dirty white(Photos/Cory Benson)Fizik describes the Proxy as a more affordable off-road racing cycling shoe developed for competitive riders seeking race-ready features and efficient power transfer on unpaved roads. The shoes feature a multi-layer, mostly mesh upper with polyurethane fabric, alternately laminated inside and out, for structure and durable reinforcement. Then, a single Li2 Boa dial per shoe tightens a long plastic lace that zig-zags across 3 sets of guides. Reaching from forefoot to midfoot with 2 crossings. Compared to Fiziks top-spec gravel, CX & XC racing Vento Ferox Carbon off-road shoes these Proxies are 23% cheaper, saving your wallet 70 for a claimed 58g weight penalty for the pair. That extra weight mostly comes from the fiber-reinforced nylon composite sole structure with an 8/10 stiffness rating vs. the Feroxs 10/10 carbon sole, while the upper construction is likely a bit heavier too.My two favorite features of the Proxies are the just-right stiffness and ample ventilation. Sweet Spot StiffnessIm not really a racer anymore. Although Im happy to strap on a number plate a few times a year, especially for an adventurous race or some good old technical enduro. So, the vast majority of my riding leans toward the fun end of the spectrum. Im always happy to go faster. But Im unlikely to sacrifice comfort to shave seconds off any ride time. So in a pair of off-road race shoes, the ability to comfortably do some hike-a-bikes (maybe even climb a tree?) is just as important as absolute pedaling efficiency.So 8/10 stiffness is a great sweet spot. These Fizik Venta Proxy shoes are plenty stiff for fast gravel and cross-country riding. But Ive also managed to scramble up some rock faces with them. Ive comfortably saddled up to a couple of cafes & trailside restaurants. And Ive finished every ride without feeling the need to immediately get my feet out of them.Airy VentilationEqually nice, Fizik created exceptionally well-ventilated shoes with the Proxy. Cutouts in the inner layer of the PU structure of the shoe result in 9 unobstructed mesh panels along the inner and outer faces of the shoe and up across the top of the forefoot to let plenty of air in and heat out. (You can easily see darker or colored socks peering through.)Yet a reinforced wrap-around PU layer over the toe has kept the mesh out of harms way, and keeps the shoes from feeling too vented on cool mornings and evenings.But my feet have stayed comfortable and cool, even on the hottest summer days. And by simply pointing your toes down for a moment while coasting, and you get a blast of refreshing airflow for when it does feel especially hot out.Limited Fit AdjustabilityNow, heres the rub in my Fizik Proxy review. And it makes these shoes less than perfect out of the box for my low-volume forefoot. They have a great Boa Li2 that offers precise adjustment fine steps tighter or looser equally pulling each wire out of the dial. But theres just one dial to adjust tension across the entire foot.Fully tightening the shoe at the dial, friction in the webbing guides means that theres almost no tension in that straight section of wire furthest away across the forefoot. And really theres very little tension at the lowest crossing of the wires either. In variably, tightening the shoe to the correct tension at the top of your foot next to the dial means inadequate tension at the bottom. And overtightening just leads to discomfort (and likely restricted circulation).My hack of a fit fix has been to shorten the Boa wire to exclude the lower guide loops. I replaced the lower loop with a piece of braided rope that I simply tied off for a tight fit. It is comfortable, secure, does not restrict me sliding the shoe on or off, and ultimately can be retied once I shift to thicker socks in the fall. And now tension is much more uniform across just the upper two sets of guides for much improved fine fit adjustment. Just think of it like the old shoes you have with a velcro strap at the bottom that you almost never adjust.Real WeightMy size 43 Fizik Venta Proxy off-road race shoes weigh in at a real 624g for the pair with the Fizik insoles but without cleats. Thats 312g per shoe, which is actually 12g lighter than Fiziks claim, which typically would exclude the insole. Im happy with that. And they definitely feel light on my feet.I originally was torn between whether I should get the orange & purple Proxies that I worried wouldnt match a lot of bikes/riding kit or the black & light blue pair that might be less shocking. In the end, Fizik sent me the all-white version, which I would not have picked, presumably to see how dirty I could get them. But white shoes are faster anyway, right?Fizik Venta Proxy Review: Riding ImpressionsOut on the gravel roads and trails, Ive been really happy with the feel of the shoes. The material feels good against my feet, from ultra-thin synthetic to mid-weight merino socks. The soles feel stiff and responsive, yet are still flexible enough that my feet dont hurt after longer, steeper sections pushing a bike up something unrideable. The lugs are grippy enough, and havent worn too quickly. And the Proxies feel so well-ventilated that I am surprised that they dont show significant signs of abuse, besides being dirty.The only issue is that unfortunately insufficient fit adjustability. But, Im actually quite satisfied with my fix. Content to the point that I now often choose these over other shoes for my regular gravel and cross-country rides. And I have plenty of other shoes to choose from.Now, can I realistically recommend a 230 pair of shoes that you cant easily adjust the fit tension on properly? Thats a hard one to answer, I guess. My immediate thought is of course not. But theres a lot that Fizik did really well with these shoes, so someone like me who takes pleasure in fixing things or customizing them might be OK with it.And in reality, my time with these shoes just makes me think that Fizik needs to make a pair just like this, but with 2 lightweight velcro straps like on their latest Powerstrap Aeroweave road shoes.Fizik.comThe post Fizik Proxy White Review: Light & Airy Gravel or XC Racing Shoes, But Limited Fit Control appeared first on Bikerumor.
