Lord have mercy! It’s the vice episode! Drugs are back, tell a friend. Or at least biological passport anomalies are back. Is illegal betting the next bad thing for pro cycling? We wouldn’t bet against it (badoom-tsh!). Plus six-day racing, Euro cyclocross and recommendations to generally make your life better.


📸 The end of the road season historically meant the end of regular earnings for a few months, so many riders headed to the velodrome and the lucrative six-day circuit. Patrick Sercu was the greatest six-day rider of all time, winning no fewer than 88 times in a track career that spanned 3 decades and saw him amass over 1000 victories on the boards. These also included an Olympic gold in Tokyo in 1964 and 2 professional World Championships in 1967 and 1969. Sercu was no slouch on the road either, winning 6 Tour de France stages (including the Green Jersey in 1974) and 13 stage wins in the Giro d’Italia. Here we see him at the Rotterdam Six in 1976, taking a slingshot from that other rider who was no slouch on the boards, long-term six-day partner and fellow Belgian, Eddy Merckx.
