(*Yes, we’re kidding - she’s still ace.)

The chimes of a new year have barely stopped their ringing and it’s already kicking off in the world of cycling. Join Chris, David and Gary as they try to make sense of a Kerstperiode packed with ‘cross, contract buy-outs and contract bye-byes. Why are riders simply packing it in? Will Belgium be relegated to “guest nation” status in cyclocross? And does Axel Merckx have a type? We think so!

📸 Celebrating New Year with champagne is traditional, but how about celebrating with champagne IN Champagne? On stage 3 of the 2022 Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift, Cecilie Uttrup Ludwig did exactly that, outsprinting Marianne Vos and Ashleigh Moolman-Pasio with a late attack on the uphill drag into Épernay.
