    Agreed CP.. those couple of weeks with the Ronde, Roubaix and the smaller stuff like E3; love it..
    Will be interesting to see how Sagz goes in the one day races this year, I suspect he won’t win as much as Oleg predicted yesterday but a year without a breakthrough monument victory won’t be seen as a return on investment.
    For me the season starts properly with Het Nieuswblad and KBK on the same weekend in Feb, races that demand to be run in terrible conditions. Not much fun for the riders but great for those of us watching in front of the fire with a beer.

    I am glad someone agrees with me about the using the old bikes for the hour. Going to the old bikes was the best move the UCI ever made… and then that idiot Cookson screwed it up.

      Thanks for the comment Bryn, just has to be done if they want to keep the integrity and relevance of The Hour alive. Otherwise what is the point?

        I have often opined in other forums that one day they might invent a bike that would allow to better Merckx for an hour… but it would mean nothing. And if the UCI wants to allow tt bikes then why not a HPV with fairings? Anyway… Merry Christmas!

    I think changing the Hour Record rules was a good move. Merckx did not do the record on the same bike as Coppi, so why should modern riders have to use an outdated piece of equipment? Sure, its a cash grab but at least the UCI are doing something to promote development unlike their archaic 6.8kg rule. Yes, every successive generation will bet the record due to better equipment but that happens in every sport like track and swimming.
