IM podium finisher allegedly receives pacing/drafting/assistance and posts it on all her socials
On the bright side... this solves the race coverage issue, just hire Luc van Lierde! He obviously is very experienced with it, does great camera angles, stays nice and close to the athletes.

That Richard Murray DQ was BS
He completely lost his composure, I think the DQ was acceptable. They can't change the rules on the fly, this isn't WTC.
It was entertaining to watch though. I was expecting him to come in to the podium ceremony WWF style, smacking a collapsible chair over the back of somebody's head.

Convince Me To Upgrade My Groupset (and other components)
You could clean and lube your drivechain regularly and replace your cables and that would make a positive difference without breaking the bank.
In general I would say it's not worth it. Especially if you buy a new groupset and have to spend money on a mechanic. Better to go used and do it yourself (good learning experience
).
A much better use of your money is to get a used/old TT bike with the set you want already on there, then just use the road bike for whatever and not worry about "performance" on it.
Sora IS pretty fucking archaic though. I feel bad for you son, I got 99 problems but Sora ain't one.

Mike Hermanson leaving triathlon for cycling
I also have never heard of him. Best of luck to him making any money in cycling, I think there is probably more competition and less money in cycling around his level than in triathlon.
The wheat and the chaff. He doesn't want to commit to travel and make the sacrifices needed to be an elite. I don't really think this is WTC's fault here. In triathlon right now, if you're not good enough, you don't make it. The latest changes to elite racing ensures that.
There is no pipeline. You have to make your own.
So benevolent of you!
