Around SBN: Win or Lose, Boston Celtics' New Big 3 Era A Success

It seems the UCI is at least doing something to get allow rider input on the work they are doing. Once again it's a change that seems driven by demands from the IOC? Of course it would be better if there was an actual rider union who had elected their reps to this commission but when are we going to see that union?

cynical comment

sounds organized under-the-thumb of the UCI in Aigle.

I’d prefer to see something completely independent.

Yeah, it's something but not a substitute for a true union

Just as the s.k. riders association led by Bugno isn’t a true union.

Mind you, with Judith Arndt & Marianne Vos & Anne Meares on there

I can’t see the UCI being given an easy ride!

(There’s a comic aspect that Meares can’t attend the first meeting, as it’s at the same time as the Track World Cup in Cali!)

Aka Pigeons!

Marianne Vos tweets her collarbone x-ray!

She crashed yesterday in the Holland Hills Valkernberg Classic when a race moto got in her way (see more in the story) - but it's so very Vos-like to show us the result.  Heal-fast, Marianne!
