Wheel Talk Newsletter: Talk to the handlebar

After the inaugural Copenhagen Sprint was criticized by riders for an unsafe course, the conversation again turns to the UCI's fixation on equipment.

Well, well, well, how the turn tables (IYKYK). The UCI have ended their week of turbulence with egg on their face after "the most dangerous race of the year" (according to a rider within the peloton) at the Copenhagen Sprint.

It's HoweGood's week on the keyboard. Lots to talk about with this one. You know what to do. Buckle up, let's get into it.

Race recaps

Copenhagen Sprint

I find it wholly ironic that the major news and discussion last week was the UCI's new equipment rules, made in an effort to increase safety in the peloton, only for the inaugural Copenhagen Sprint (151 km, mostly flat) in Denmark to be marred by issues caused by imperatives other than equipment.

Did we do a good job with this story?
