#EF Education-Cannondale

[womensworldtour]

O Canada!

In a crash-marred finish that saw several top-tier riders brought down in multiple wet roundabouts inside the last 5km, Canadian national champ Alison Jackson stayed upright and in position to win a reduced sprint. Her American teammate Kristen Faulkner did an impressively long lead-out, allowing Jackson to out-sprint Blanca Vas (SD Worx-Protime) and Karlijn Swinkels (UAE Team ADQ). Vas will at least have the consolation of taking the GC leader's jersey for tomorrow, thanks to bonus seconds at the finish and sprint points earlier in the stage.

One of Jackson's own teammates was one of the riders that went down, as were Anna Henderson (Visma Lease-a-Bike), Liane Lippert (Movistar), Lizzie Deignan (Lidl-Trek), and many others. Hopefully there weren't severe injuries, and the the 5km rule should bring them back to the same finishing time.

And no one celebrates like Alison Jackson!

Nouveau Cannondale pour EF Education-Easypost en 2023

L’équipe américaine utilise en ce début de saison 2023 un nouveau Cannondale. Les EF Education-Easypost roulent en effet sur une machine plus aérodynamique que le SuperSix et moins exclusive que le SystemSix… Dans quelques jours nous en saurons peut être plus… Mais pour l’heure, le nouveau Cannondale, marqué Lab71, utilisé par EF Education-Easypost en 2023 est encore anonyme ou presque.

2024 Tour de France er ved at starte: Hvem vinder i sidste ende?

2024 Tour de France er ved at starte. Det er uden tvivl en af ​​de mest sete cykelbegivenheder i år. Løbet starter fra Firenze den 29. juni, passerer gennem Cesenatico, hjembyen for den legendariske kører Pantani, og går derefter ind i Frankrig. Årets rute var anderledes, idet den gik mod uret rundt om Paris, krydsede Pyrenæerne og endelig ankom til Nice efter 3.493 kilometers intens konkurrence.

Dette års Tour de France tiltrak 22 hold til at deltage, herunder 18 WorldTour-hold og 4 professionelle kontinentale hold på andet niveau. Hvert hold består af 8 kørere, hvor der i alt deltager 176 kørere. Charmen ved Tour de France ligger ikke kun i dens hastighed og rute, men også i fremvisningen af ​​den nyeste cykelteknologi. Store brands er allerede begyndt at promovere deres banebrydende teknologier, såsom Treks nye "vægttabsversion" Madone, som er blevet et af begivenhedens fokuspunkter.

Mærkeudbuddet i denne konkurrence er stadig stærkt, med 19 cykelmærker, der deltager blandt de 22 hold. For eksempel sponsorerer Bianchi Arkéa-B&B Hotels, Cannondale sponsorerer EF Education-EasyPost, og Canyon er partner med Alpecin-Deceuninck. Der er dog nogle ændringer. For eksempel afsluttede Groupama-FDJ-teamet sit 22-årige partnerskab med Lapierre og skiftede til det italienske mærke Wilier. Det er værd at bemærke, at Wilier sponsorerer både Astana-Qazaqstan og Groupama-FDJ hold i år. Derudover skiftede Lotto-Dstny-holdet også fra Ridley til Orbea-cykler.

Denne ændring tilføjer mere spænding til begivenheden. For bilfans, selvom alle har deres eget yndlingshold, der altid vil være i deres hjerter, er mesterskabsholdet hvert år altid det mest ventede.

Team S&M CX and Clara Honsinger Renew With Bikeflights

With the 2023-2024 cyclocross season just getting underway, we’re pleased to welcome back Team S&M CX and Clara Honsinger to our roster of Bikeflights-sponsored teams and ambassadors.

“This season marks our seventh as a complete cyclocross team dedicated to the long-term development of Pacific North West (PNW) women in this sport,” said Brenna Wrye-Simpson, Team Manager. “In that time, we have been through several chapters and have proudly stayed the course, attracting more women to the program, standing by those we’ve already rostered, and standing by cyclocross as the purest form of racing in cycling.”

Team roster

Eight women will comprise this ‘cross season’s Team S&M CX squad, which is co-managed by Wrye-Simpson and former pro racer Erik Tonkin. 

Annie Davis-Usher (Portland, OR) (elite)

Rachel Geiter (Walla Walla, WA) (elite)

Allison Halpin (Bend, OR) (elite)

Clara Honsinger (Portland, OR) (elite)

Jenna Lingwood (Portland, OR) (elite)

Sophie Russenberger (Bend, OR) (elite)

Madeline Stover (Portland, OR) (under 23)

Brenna Wrye-Simpson (Portland, OR) (elite)

Wrye-Simpson also serves as the team’s mechanic while Tonkin doubles as the squad’s coach.

Honsinger returns to her roots

Wrye-Simpson is especially excited that three-time US Cyclocross National Champion Clara Honsinger has returned to the team.

“To me, it only feels right to have Clara back. Our initial three-season chapter from 2017 to 2020 was one of steady progress for all of us, but most obviously hers, as she steadily studied the game and consistently landed more domestic podiums,” said Wrye-Simpson, who noted Honsinger’s first under 23 title won in 2018, her first World Cup podium in Iowa City earned in 2019, and her elite national title claimed in 2019. All were achieved while repping Team S&M CX’s distinctive orange & blue kits.

Honsinger went on to race the rest of the 2019-2020 season in Europe before returning in February of 2020, after the world championships, just as rumblings of the new COVID virus were beginning to circulate. She then moved on to join the Cannondale-CyclocrossWorld.com team. 

Perhaps Honsinger’s best finish to date has been a fourth place finish at the 2021 UCI Cyclocross World Championships.

“Her accomplishments speak volumes, and her growth as an athlete and worldly human are wonderful to behold,” said Wrye-Simpson of the team’s biggest stars to date. 

Honsinger fondly recalled, “I remember when I first asked Erik if I could join [Team] S&M. I was a freshman in college, and he had generously offered to give me a ride in the old Kona van to Ninkrossi. I wonder what he was thinking when I posed the question – a teenager with a bike racing obsession was a pretty great unknown. But I was certain that S&M was the place for me.”

The then up-and-coming young rider had been following Team S&M CX for a while, watching local icons like Beth Ann Orton and Megan Chinburg travel to races across the country and reading old race reports of how Rhonda Mazza had placed second at Nationals in toe-clips and running shoes. She re-watched Transitions 2 to find the scene where Tonkin’s Belgian fan club sings praises about his beard. 

“This team seemed to carry a passion for racing and an easy-going character that I wanted to be surrounded by,” said Honsinger.

More recently, Honsinger raced on the road for Team EF Education-TIBCO-SVB. But as uncertainty swirled around some of the European and US teams this past summer, Honsinger pondered what was next, and she felt compelled to follow her heart.

“The move was clear. S&M is grounded and driven. The idea of returning made me feel giddy with excitement and genuinely happy,” said Honsinger. 

At Bikeflights, we’re looking forward to cheering on Clara Honsinger and all the rest of Team S&M CX throughout this season! Read the team’s full announcement from Team S&M CX.

While Spanish stage racing was wrapping up at la Vuelta a Burgos Fémina, the American national championships were held in West Virginia, and EF Education-Cannondale's Kristen Faulkner got in a break with Ruth Edwards (Human Powered Health) on a downhill section. Knowing Edwards had a serious kick, Faulkner launched in the final climb and soloed to victory.

Faulkner's teammate Coryn Labecki won the sprint behind.

Il Lombardia’18: Pinot Crowns Season in Como Pt.1

France's Thibaut Pinot prevailed in the 112th incarnation of the Giro di Lombardia to bring down the curtain on a remarkable cycling season. The Groupama-FDJ leader held on to the wheel of Italy's Vincenzo Nibali in the terrible Muro di Sormano before dropping "the Shark of Messina" in the race's penultimate climb. Nibali still took second place, while the talented Belgian Dylan Theuns won a sprint to complete the podium.

Results Giro di Lombardia 2018 1. Thibaut Pinot (Fra) Groupama-FDJ in 5:53:22 2. Vincenzo Nibali (Ita) Bahrain-Merida at 0:32 3. Dylan Teuns (Bel) BMC at 0:43 4. Rigoberto Uran (Col) EF Education First-Drapac p/b Cannondale 5. Tim Wellens (Bel) Lotto Soudal
