Says more about sexism in cycling than any amount of [i]faux outrage[/i] about semi clad models in kneepads...

this author knows of no other major league roadie stars who have intermingled a spot of trail-shredding with their usual dropped-bar pursuits like this

What about Marianne Voss? What about Pauline Ferrand Prevot who was [b]Road AND XC World Champ at the same time[/b] FFS?

Just a thought while I'm getting my lunch 😉

Is disappoint that there's no vid of him riding XC. You guys are just jealous of his skills. 😉

You're late getting lunch, that's almost afternoon tea!!

Not to mention [url= https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jolanda_Neff ]Jolanda Neff[/url] dabbling in a bit of drop barred tarmac slaying in between being rather good on a flat barred thingamajig.

The guys got charisma and speed to burn. Will be very interesting to see how he gets on in a competitive XC field. Sagan Vs Absalon Vs Schurter could be tasty.

Then again, I literally have no idea who those (presumably female) cyclists are. Sorry, shoot me for my ignorance.

I do recognise CS though.

Perhaps I am and exceptionally ignorant cycle-enthusiast, or maybe the article was simply being fair. CS is probably a bit of a super star though. I mite bee wrong though.. 😉

Who the **** is CS?

Perhaps I am and exceptionally ignorant cycle-enthusiast,

Or maybe you're a filthy sexist pig 😛

As opposed to a sexy pig, which is a whole different kettle of banana's.

I've no idea who CS is either, but Marianne Voss is seven different kinds of awesome.

The writer has given a disclaimer, the sexist bastard!

Oh no! Now I'm being sexist assuming it's a man.

😥

What about Pauline Ferrand Prevot who was Road AND XC World Champ at the same time FFS?

I was aware of that, I just chose to ignore it as a) I didn't want to muddy the waters, and b) I'm actually[b] a massive CXist![/b]
