Hey Did Specialized Launch a New Mountain Bike Yesterday?

What was the bike called again?

They did? Weird, I hadn't heard. Was there press? Not sure. Let's check BikeRadar and see if they had any coverage.

Yeah they mentioned it. And then they mentioned it again. And again. And again.

Note that this screencap omits the shoutout to the promo video earlier on the page, so this isn't even all of it. You're welcome.

Never Mind Ronde van Vlandaaren, what about Paris-Roubaix?

Sagan Winning Paris-Roubaix 2018

Ronde van Vlandaaren 2018 was a good and exciting race, and if you watch any of the video then you will very likely get a feel for why it is such an event. All of Belgium closes down for the day and they throw a big party. It's pretty great!

It was not great for your girl's favorite cyclist, Peter Sagan. He finished sixth? Ninth? :: checks internet :: He finished sixth. The winner was N8ki Terpstra, who used excellent teamwork and strong legs to power himself to glorious victory. Well done Niki.

But that's not why we're here! We are here to talk about the result of the 2018 Paris-Roubaix, which was won by Peter Sagan! He was quite thrilled with the result. If you are wondering what it feels like to just finish the race, here is an interview with Taylor Phinney, who managed to ride into the top 10. Phinney is a good and chill guy in his interviews, and his responses to these questions are excellent.
