New team on the 2020 World Tour!2 weeks agoThe Israel Cycling Academy (ICA) are set to takeover the Katusha Alpecin set -up completely from 2020. The take-over has already been confirmed, and technically completed, though they are waiting for confirmation of their space in the 2020 World Tour. The thinking behind this merge is an opportunity for the Israeli team to find a place in the World Tour. Katusha have also been struggling after title sponsors Canyon and Alpecin announced they would end their backing at the end of this season. It is thought that the Swiss team had a spot in the World Tour for at least another 2 years, an opportunity the ICA could not look past. Talks were already underway about ICA being in the World Tour however, and this merge seems to be a “fast track” system to achieving their goals. Billionaire backer Sylvan Adams stated; “I have stated for some time that ICA would be in the WorldTour, sooner or later, I am excited that it is happening right away for next year’s season.” It will be interesting to see how the combination works, will the team be able to offer all current riders contracts? Unfortunately not. The UCI limits teams to a maximum size of 30 riders. Riders who are already confirmed include; Dan Martin – who was already signed by the ICA back in August and will knock out one of the two teams riders as a result, 2019 Paris-Roubaix runner up Nils Politt and Tour of Utah 2019 winner Ben Hermans. We know for sure Ilnur Zakarin and Nathan Haas will join new teams in 2020, signing for CCC and Cofidis respectively. Marcel Kittel has also announced he is retiring from the sport at the end of the 2019 season stating publicly; “The sport and the world you live in are defined by pain, You don’t have time for family and friends, and then there’s the perpetual tiredness and routine. As a cyclist, you are on the road for 200 days of the year. I didn’t want to watch my son grow up via Skype.”We obviously understand the reasoning behind this move, but are sad to see the 14-time Tour de France Stage winner leave....

Say Hello To The New Dual-Lens 5.6K Resolution GoPro Max2 weeks agoGoPro just released the new GoPro Max action cam which is based on the previous model Fusion. It features two lenses which are facing in either direction and is equpped with a front-facing touchscreen. According to GoPro this the Max can utilise those features to combine the power of three cameras: The single-lens HERO camera, a dual-lens 360-degree camera as well as a perfect vlogging camera. Two other highlights are the six microphones for a complete 360-degree audio experience and the four different digital lenses for more framing options. Less relevant for bike riders is that is is water resistant to up to 5 meters… unless you plan on riding U23 Time Trial World Champs in Yorkshire. LEARN MORE...

The inaugural mixed Time Trial event at the World Champs absolutely rocked!4 weeks agoWow what an event! The inaugural mixed Time Trial was really one event of the category “great to watch”. I have to admit I enjoy Time Trials but I usually do not enjoy watching those kind of events. I usually miss the nervewreckingness (if that’s a word). Everyone just hammers it out and at the end you have a winner. That’s it. This new mixed Time Trial event however was fantastic! The first team of three starts the race and the second team shoots into the competition once the first team crossed the finishing line. The second team has to perform at the same level (or better) in order to succeed. Personal highlight was Elisa Longo Borghini’s fight back to her team riders after she has punctured. The Italian’s missed out on the podium by only a few seconds. That’s what makes sport exciting. Shivering and crossing fingers towards the very end. I hope to see this event returning on a more regular level. Not sure how this would look in real life but at least at Worlds and Olympic Games would be fantastic! Only recommendation for future events…make the hot seat a hot tub! It looked freezing up there! credits: https://worlds.yorkshire.com/media/credits: https://worlds.yorkshire.com/media/credits: https://worlds.yorkshire.com/media/credits: https://worlds.yorkshire.com/media/...

Chilled AF … Hoppy temptations without pangs of remorse.4 weeks agoAt veloccino we are a long way from being 100% alcohol free, but over the last few years the arrival of good non-alcoholic beers has allowed us to adopt a slightly more healthy lifestyle and help us getting faster on the bike. Below is a random selection of non-alcoholic beers with our personal favourites picked out. If you have any suggestions, get in contact and let us know!! Beer of the week: This week’s beer of the week is Brewdog Nanny State! Mike’s review: Drinking non-alcoholic beer is rarely “Plan A” but if, like me, you’re not much of a larger drinker, then the options are pretty slim. Nanny State is a good tasting ale/beer which is best served cold and works pretty well as a “Plan B”. One tip is to make sure you don’t switch to this beer after drinking regular beer as the difference in taste might be noticeable. Becks Blue Just like Niels, this beer is from Germany and almost completely alcohol free! This beer has been on the market for a few years now and gives a good crisp taste, ideal for a post-ride beer when you have to drive home. Peroni Libera Just like sizing for Italian cycling gear, this beer has great style but isn’t for everyone (although it does come in a bottle that isn’t 3 sizes smaller than you expected). This should only be for people with a sweet tooth and you have to drink it cold, other wise it tastes … erm … let’s say a bit hard to get used to. It’s very rare for us to leave a beer…but neither of us could finish this. Estrella – Free Damm This is a good larger non-alcoholic beer which tastes great and will remind many people of sitting watching the sun go down on a Spanish beach. This won our taste test in episode 7 with artist Spencer Wilson despite the cans only being in the fridge for about 5 minutes. Real Kombucha This is tough stuff to describe. Their own website describes it as “Builds on the delicacy of our teas with complex floral and fruity flavours” but it tastes better than that. Rather than pretending to be a beer, Kombucha seems to be a more sophisticated drink of its own category, not quite wine and not quite beer. Brought along by Kieren in episode 4 we got to try 3 different flavours which were all good, but these are like pedals…you really need to try them out yourself to see if you get on with them....
