Feed Zone 22-23

The pros might now be returning to their training regimes but there’s no off-season for the Feed Zone. Obviously there’s plenty of off-topic but in our more lucid moments we talk about the new American pro team run by George Hincapie and ask whether we should let bygones be bygones or is is “once a doper, always a doper”? We also look forward to seeing Africa’s first UCI women’s team take to the stage in 2026, plus there’s other new team chat, World Cup cyclocross and we raise a glass to pro cycling’s latest newly-weds. Just not as big a glass as Fernando Gaviria apparently does tho’. The new Feed Zone: enjoy responsibly.

📸 30 January 1966: the familar sight of Jacques Anquetil and Raymond Poulidor going head to head, but in a most unfamiliar setting at the Fontenay sous Bois cyclocross. The race itself was quite remarkable and not just for having two Tour de France legends competing. First run in 1961, Fontenay sous Bois, near Paris, was an "American-style" ‘cross race with riders competing in pairs, each riding alternate laps. Each team was made up of a cyclocross specialist and a routier, or all-rounder. Paired with Jean Graczyk, it would be Poulidor who prevailed over his great road rival, with Maître Jacques finishing third, riding with Jean Stablinski. (Credit: Le Parisien Libéré)
