Marcel Kittel has announced his retirement, this time for good. As a true cycling fan, one can only tip their hat to the monster he was in his prime

Chaos in Belgian Schaal Sels:

 

 

The Dutch text basically says there's already been more than 10 crashes in the first lap (which was very narrow with a lot of obstacles not being covered), plus there even were trees in the middle of the finish straight

That map makes it look like ASO organizes it, might even be a not so small deal

This years "Okolo Slovenska" Tour of Slovakia will be in one word - Historic with a big H ! Not because of the route (which is just meh this year, only one stage in the Tatras and all remaining stages build for sprinters in the flat parts of the country. I am very disappointed by the track for this edition) but thanks to the start list !

Nice news for Kristoff and Bonnet, Viviani has Sabatini with him so that gives chances to them  

 

Final start lists are there early by the way, more than two weeks to go
