As Ryan shared on yesterday’s live blog, the off-season news from the Netherlands (yep, it’s that time of year when we’ve got to make something out everything other than actual bike racing) is that Jumbo-Visma are dropping Shimano for next season after SRAM made the team an offer the Japanese manufacturer was unwilling to match…

No gun to the head here (as far as we’re aware…), just cold hard cash… probably. Retired pro turned KOM hunter Phil Gaimon had something to say about the move, calling it a “marginal loss”, one he joked he’d like to see the UCI implement for all teams who get too dominant. ‘Sorry, Annemiek, you’re on Apex next year…’

Before saying there’s a 5-10 watt difference between SRAM and Shimano…

Something some questioned…

This all got very nerdy very quickly, but I think the salient fact is this… Wout van Aert is still going to win bike races. Now, any chance of Bauke Mollema signing?

Pictures you can hear…
