Ayuso to Lidl Trek on a five year deal


New UCI rules:
wtf is this crap. Road teams to benefit from points scored in other discipllines like CX, track and XC.

At its meeting in June, the UCI Management Committee approved the principle of the introduction from 2027 of a system allowing UCI Road Teams to benefit from a limited number of points based on the results obtained by their riders in other disciplines.

at least they relaxed those stupid handlebar rules, now the shortest distance allowed between the hoods is 28cm, previously 32cm. Measured my road bike and was 26,5cm on bars that are 34cm center to center on hoods.

The UCI Management Committee confirmed the measurement of 400mm for the overall width of the handlebars (outside to outside), a maximum flare of 65mm and an inner measurement limit between the brake hoods of 280mm.

UCI and I agree, banish TT helmets from road races!

Finally regarding equipment, following approval by the UCI Management Committee in June 2025 to introduce a simplified distinction between time trial and mass start event helmets, members agreed the specifications that will concern helmets for mass start or bunch events from 1 January 2026 for road and cyclo-cross, and from 1 January 2027 for track. These specifications will include minimum ventilation requirements, a ban on helmet shells or accessories covering or obstructing the riders’ ears, and a ban on integrated or detachable visors. These new specifications also aim to contain aerodynamics, and in addition will serve as a basis for distinctions between helmets used in different disciplines.

Dafuq is that??

Pidcock and MVDP will be gunning for cyclist of the year for a long time if true. Unless Pog dips his toes into CX or XC. Which is too late now.

Also, changing 42 cm to a 38 cm handlebar was a game changer for me.
 
Turbocharged Remco Evenepoel is the first rider in history of history to start Mens Elite World Championship Road Race as a six star favourite out from maximum of 5!
