The Radavist

I’ve really enjoyed this video series from Bell. In this episode, Team LottoNL-Jumbo prepares for the Liège-Bastogne-Liège, aka La Doyenne, or “the oldest.”

We missed out on posting the Amstel Gold video from Bell with all the Sea Otter madness going on last week, so here’s a video in preparation for the forthcoming La Fleche Wallonne on April 22nd.

Face it, professional cyclists are celebrities, at least according to Manual for Speed. How do they live? What do they eat? How do they recover? … and what’s in their trash? All this and more will be revealed upon entering the vortex that is Yo! MFS Cribz Episode 01.

Paris Roubaix is without a doubt, the epitomical Spring Classics race. Its cobbled course in Northern France is the quintessential battlefield for professional road cycling. Here’s another video from Bell Helmets, describing the masochistic-like addiction the riders of team LottoNL-Jumbo have for the cobbles.

I’d say this is one of the few times a bicycle-mounted camera delivers some excitement. Check out team BMC’s inside look at the Tour of Flanders.

Bell Helmets continue their Spring Classics videos with probably one of the most famous: the Tour of Flanders. In this video, team LottoNL-Jumbo shares with us their thoughts on this race, just days before its kick off on April 5th.

Check out a bit more behind this iconic race, at Bell.

During the rapidly-approaching Spring Classics, Bell Helmets is running a give-away for each of eight races, starting with Milan San Remo and team LottoNL-Jumbo. Head over to Bell to find out how you can enter for the give-away, featuring Bell products and team gear.

Our friends at Manual for Speed have been spending months upon months working on a new website and all their hard work has paid off. The first post takes us to 2015 Paris-Nice for their anthropological cataloging of cultural phenoms. Or something. Head over to Manual for Speed for more!

To support Sir Bradley Wiggins and Team Sky this year at 2015 Paris-Nice, Jaguar just unveiled a CdM stripe-adorned F-Type Coupé. I don’t know anything about cars but this seems like a rather balleur statement for the brand. Check out more below.

When Manual for Speed does something, they go above and beyond. Now, above what or beyond where is open to interpretation, but one thing’s for sure: these cats are wild. Wild, but chill.. and that’s exactly what Kasual Klub is all about. Chilling. Well, that and this:

“What is Kasual Klub? It’s a Vibe, a Crü, and a Collection of Clothes For Sale. And a Klub, obvs. There are only two ways to get in the Klub: 1) Turn yourself into an exceptionally gifted World Class Human Athlete (or equivalent), or 2) buy a Kasual Klub clothing item now available for sale in our “store”. That’s it; one way is really fucking hard, and pretty much impossible, the other way means you just have to buy a cotton t-shirt or some insane technical socks.”

See some more Kasual Klub flicks below and check the lineup at Manual for Speed.

… well, I have no words. Two rap battle teams, headed by Sven Nys on one side and Matthieu van der Poel, on the other compete against each other. Like a sprint at the finish line, who will win this one?

Bradley Wiggins is without a doubt, one of the most iconic modern cyclists and his sense of style is only exceeded by his athletic prowess on a bicycle. As one of the most important figures in British cycling, this Olympian and Tour de France winner is partnering with Rapha on a Wiggins-designed team kit. As the first step on this collaboration, Rapha will provide a full kit for the Wiggins team for their forthcoming season as they prepare for the Rio 2016 Olympic Games. Personally, I can’t think of a better partnering for Rapha and am excited to see what is to come.

Expect more information as events warrant.

Two of my favorite photos from Manual for Speed’s Tour de San Luis coverage are now available as prints. Or, if you prefer, there are posters as well. Either way, your walls could always use a lil more cycling ephemera. Both prints and the posters are in stock at Manual for Speed.

Two of professional cyclocross racing’s top women spend an afternoon in a Caravan, discussing their careers. Translation brought to you by CX Hairs.

This looks really great:

“The USA Cycling Cyclocross Development Program focuses on international training and racing with the aim to make an impact in World Cup and World Championship competitions. This short excerpt was filmed during the busy holiday race period (December 2014) and shows young American cyclocross racers (Jr Men, U23 Men, Women’s Youth) training near Vorselaar, Belgium and racing in Loenhout, Belgium.

Under the direction of Head Coach Geoff Proctor, the program achieved strong results in its build-up to the world championships in Tabor, Czech Republic in late January, 2015.”

Perhaps you watched the UCI Cyclocross World Cup in Heusden-Zolder women’s race? Perhaps you did not. Whatever your answer is, perhaps you could use some more CX Hairs?
