Preface: As I stood there trying to think of something memorable to say to Bart Wellens before the pro race at Cross Vegas, a Telenet-Fidea team dude said something about the skinny kid standing next to him. A Belgian dude saying Belgian stuff about a Belgian dude, despite watching all those Flemish broadcasts, didn’t quite compute. I shook it off effectively ignoring the kid, refocused on my target (creepy fanboy), and waited my turn to say what, of course, ended up being the mundane, “I’m a fan, Bart.” Le sigh…
Turns out team dude was letting me know the young man was an up and coming CX racer of note and that his name was Wout Van Aert. Sorry bro.

One of the first things to greet me this AM once I logged onto the world wide web, was this post on Facebook by Jered Gruber. The shot of Johan Vansummeren blazing across the cobbles of le Carrefour de l’Arbre during a photo shoot is good, yet unremarkable when compared to many of the images produced by Jered and Ashley. No, what grabbed my attention where the words included with the posted picture. Not only is the moment of the shot is perfectly portrayed by the text below, it poignantly conveys the love Johan has voor Paris-Roubaix while immediately transporting the fans of the revered race into the familiar tunnel of noise of the live broadcast.

Okay, not technically a product release, per se. But, it is a release of some balleur styles previously unavailable for purchase outside of the Down Undah.
4Shaw (IG: @4shaw_dion), the creator of some of the hottest sock designs I’ve seen, has finally made them and their other products available internationally through their freshly launched site and webstore.
Check it out and what I imagine to be their ever expanding line of products.
But ‘dem socks tho.

OH HAI, I AM IN UR GLOBAL NETWORK SCRAPING UR CONTENTS. No, I kid. But I had to post this Global Cycling Network (@GCNTweet) video because Klaas is so charming he’s convinced me to buy a season’s worth of Dugasts at full retail.
De current BelgischKampioen veldrijden, Klaas Vantornout provides the full breakdown on his full race day Dugast tire selection including conditional tire pressures. For those nieuw to the sport this is an eye-opening look into the intricacies the CX service course. I still geeked out at this despite my CX knowledge being second to only Adam Myerson.

Awesome. Stoemper (@StoemperBikes) videos always make me want to smash whatever I’m doing and ride my bike. Fortunately I was able to quell the rising ride rage long enough to finish this post.
Guy East (@GuyEast) had an interview in Pez a few weeks ago. Check it out, especially voor his bikes.

I’m sure I’ve written this somewhere before, but testing saddles after one’s found THE saddle that works is always a strange and slightly anxiety producing endeavor.
But that’s exactly what I’m face with after Salvatore from Prologo offered a saddle straight off their Interbike display wall. The Scratch Pro CPC ($199USD) also happens to be the pro perch of none other than #SVENNESS himself, Sven Nys.
I’ve always dug the shape and overall aesthetics of the Scratch Pro saddle, but had to move to the Romin for the channel. However, I’m interested in experiencing the tactile nature of the CPC patches so we’ll see how it works. Follow along on on Twitter/Instagram/Facebook/Flickr as I test Prologo’s latest.
