Givisiez, Switzerland. With the MTB World Championships in Val di Sole (Italy) and La Vuelta (Spain) happening at the same time, the stage was set for a big weekend and it turned out to be one for the history books.

In a spectacular race with a thrilling finish, Nino Schurter once again showed the character of a true champion as he claimed his 9th World Champion title. Earlier in the day, Martin Vidaurre of Chile rode his way to the rainbow stripes at the U23 XCO World Championships. With Marine Cabirou, Hugo Pigeon and Mathilde Bernard all earning themselves an impressive silver medal in DH, XC eMTB and Women’s Four-Cross, this weekend will go down as one the most successful in recent history for SCOTT’s MTB athletes.

On the road, Romain Bardet managed to walk away with a win on stage 14 of La Vuelta, the third of the tour for Team DSM.

N1NO Schurter is the 2021 XCO World Champion

Val di Sole, Italy. Nino Schurter wins the 2021 XCO World Championships in incredible fashion leaving a mark on the history books. Being the youngest athlete to win the World Champion title in 2009 and now his 9th, this marks him as the oldest athlete in history to earn the rainbow stripes.

After a difficult and challenging season so far with various 2nd place finishes, the tables have turned. Finding the right answer and going all in for the Worlds played out in a brilliant way. By winning his 9th World Champion title, Nino proved once more he is the best in the world and hungry as ever before.

It’s no secret that Nino Schurter was very disappointed to miss a medal at the Olympic Games in Tokyo by only seconds. However, with World Championships and his home race of the Lenzerheide World Cup (Sept 5), Nino knew he had two occasions to prove his critics wrong. Facing the mental challenge of switching his focus towards the new goal shortly after Olympics, Nino found the motivation and fire to peak once more for the race for the World Champion stripes.

The Perfect Race

Even though the newly crowned Olympic champion, Tom Pidcock (Vuelta Spain) and Mathieu Van der Poel (injured) were missing, the competition was high. Many athletes who walked away from Tokyo without a medal saw the World Championship as the next opportunity to chase a 2021 title.

One of them, Ondřej Cink, charged hard at the beginning of the race. Nino stayed present at the front, successfully managing to close the gap on the descents and went into an early lead. After the first 20 minutes of racing the tempo dropped a bit and a bigger leading group formed, where also Lars Forster was hanging on at the far end.

With only Nino able to stick with the high pace set by Swiss National Champion Matthias Flückiger, the two started to collaborate and built a comfortable lead over the followers Ondřej Cink, Victor Koretzky, Vlad Dascalu and Henrique Avancini. Midway through the race, it started to become clear, the decision was about to be made between these two Swiss riders.

The World Cup leader, Mathias Flückiger was riding in excellent form, especially on the many steep climbs of the very demanding course, which many athletes say is the toughest of the circuit.

However, Nino was able to hang on and close the gap on the descent thanks to his 120mm SCOTT Spark RC and his extraordinary riding skills. Even Flückigers attack on the very last climb couldn’t shake Nino. In a thrilling finale, Nino made some risky moves to eventually claim the lead before the last stretch to the finish line. Nino punched with incredible power towards the line securing his first victory of the 2021 season, and one for the history books.

After the finish, we saw Nino Schurter more emotional than ever. The relief was obvious and could also be heard in his statements:

“It’s been a difficult 2021 season for me. Especially with the Olympics not going my way. Therefore this World Champion title is among the most important ones of the 9 I have in the books now. It’s not just another title. It’s a big release to know I’m still capable of winning big races. I did believe in myself and had people around me supporting me in this. But there were also a lot of people who called me off after not winning anymore. They’ve now got a reminder: I’m still here!”

What’s Changed?

It’s been four years since the last Scalpel launched at the Cairns World Cup in 2016, and as you’ll see, a lot has changed since then. At its core the Scalpel remains as a lightweight 100mm travel XC race bike. It shares a familiar shape to its predecessor with a top tube mounted shock and dual water bottle capability, and it continues to be built around 29in wheels and the bizarre single-sided, single-crowned Lefty Ocho. Go a little deeper though, and you’ll discover a new suspension layout with a quirky flex-stay, modernised geometry, and an entirely new carbon fibre layup that Cannondale states is 200g lighter than the old frame.

Flip That Link

The big performance story with the new Scalpel is its new suspension design. The upper shock link no longer swings from the top tube like it did on the old frame. Instead, the rear shock is driven by a tiny alloy link that mounts to a forward strut partway up the seat tube. It doesn’t sound like much, but it has completely changed the suspension behaviour. The new Scalpel has a much higher starting leverage rate (2.85:1 rather than 2.23:1), and it’s vastly more progressive too.

Like the latest Habit trail bike, the Scalpel also gets a size-specific approach to suspension kinematics. This means there’s actually a different leverage ratio, anti-squat and anti-rise levels for each of the four frame sizes. The designers achieve this with slight variations to the location of each pivot point – the shock dimensions and alloy link are the same for every frame.

Hold On, Where’s The Pivot?

The Scalpel uses a one-piece carbon swingarm, but Cannondale says it’s now built around a Horst Link four-bar suspension platform. As you’ve probably spotted already though, there are no actual bearings anywhere near the rear dropout. Instead of a traditional pivot, there’s an incredibly thin section of carbon fibre along the chainstays. This concentrates about 6-7° of flexion at a specific point just forward of the dropouts, emulating a Horst Link pivot.

Doing so in this fashion however, means that the Scalpel isn’t lumped with the usual weight penalty that comes with a typical four-bar suspension design.

Flex stays are of course nothing new. But where the new Scalpel differs from its predecessor, and indeed most popular XC full suspension bikes on the market like the Specialized Epic, Trek Supercaliber, Canyon Lux and Scott Spark, is that the flex doesn’t occur through the seatstays. According to Cannondale, putting the flex point on the chainstays creates a more active suspension system that is less influenced by braking and pedalling inputs, compared to a traditional single-pivot arrangement. Doing so in this fashion however, means that the Scalpel isn’t lumped with the usual weight penalty that comes with a typical four-bar suspension design.

Flow’s Verdict

Cannondale has built an absolutely ripping XC speedster in the new Scalpel. It is no doubt a sharp handling machine, but if you’re eyeing off a position on the podium, you’re likely to appreciate the near-telepathic steering. Competitive types and long distance haulers will also love the dual bottle capability and neat STASH tool system. There’s also good versatility in the chassis with the option to fit a dropper post, a 120mm fork and up to a 2.4in wide rear tyre. If any of those float your boat though, and you tend to buy your own champagne rather than win it in races, then it’ll be worth taking a good look at the Scalpel SE. If it’s raw speed you’re after though, then the Scalpel Carbon 2 has that in spades.

While the lovely carbon frame is significantly lighter than its predecessor, the new Scalpel is more technically capable thanks to its vastly improved suspension performance. The active design means it isn’t quite as snappy at the pedals as some of its competitors, but on rough terrain, the Scalpel is smoother, more comfortable and it builds speed incredibly well. Add in the superb Lefty Ocho and the modernised geometry, and you have a technically proficient handler that thrives on taking the more challenging route both up and down the mountain. Thumbs up to Cannondale, because this bike is an absolute corker.

Over a third of those polled (35 per cent) admitted to struggling with mental health issues since lockdown began, with 38 per cent saying their mental health has deteriorated overall.

However, nearly nine in ten of respondents to our survey agreed that cycling has a positive impact on their mental health, with most heading out on to open roads, tracks and trails to boost their mood.

On top of that, 91 per cent of BikeRadar users would recommend cycling to friends and family as a way to improve or manage mental health.

The cyclists polled are also taking positive steps in addressing mental health worries with more than 60 per cent confiding in friends and family about their mental health and 27 per cent seeking help from a GP or a health practitioner.

The survey has also shown that some cycling habits have already changed, with almost half of those that still cycle (46 per cent) saying that they have created, or are looking to create, an indoor set up at home.

Twenty-nine per cent also expect to continue cycling indoors in some capacity after lockdown ends.

As lockdown restrictions begin to ease, more than half (57 per cent) of those polled are looking forward to an epic ride, with the Peak District emerging as the top destination. 

However, it’s not just beautiful roads on the minds of cyclists – many of the responses expressed a wish to simply get back to the daily commute and to cycle with friends. 

After all, it was only a few months ago – in early December to be precise – that the four-time Tour de France winner was forced to go under the knife for a third time following an infection that stemmed from the previous rounds of surgery on his right side and leg. 

The infection was caused by an allergic reaction to internal stitches that were sewn during the second surgery to remove metalwork in November. News of this third surgery was revealed by Froome to both Cyclingnews and The Times at the finish of stage 2 of the UAE Tour. 

He still carries the scars and will forever have a plate of metal along his right femur with four screws to hold it in place. Giving a rare insight into his rehabilitation, Froome described the months since his career-threatening crash at last year’s Critérium du Dauphiné.

There have been several key points since last June. After the surgeries, Froome had to spend months in bed recovering and then spent time in a wheelchair as his rehab began. Learning to walk, he said, was one of the hardest points.

“That was tough. That was really tough,” Froome told Cyclingnews and The Times.

“It’s not something that you think about until you’re in that sort of position. For sure, after weeks of being bed-ridden and then weeks of being in a wheelchair, walking just felt so foreign. 

“That was much harder than getting back on the bike again. On the bike it actually felt pretty natural and pretty easy but trying to walk normally was by far the hardest part of the rehab.”

It wasn’t just a physical struggle, but a mental one too.

“Mentally it was just tough, when I was in that position of barely being able to walk, thinking about being a professional cyclist again seemed so far away but it’s amazing what the body can do and how it recovers,” Froome said. 

“I’m incredibly fortunate to have been surrounded by really good people, with rehab and physios, and the general team around me. Everybody had really high morale and positive energy. It made it a lot easier.”

Froome has reached several key milestones during his continued comeback but when asked what the biggest breakthrough was during his time away from professional cycling, he picked one that didn’t involve the bike at all.

“I can remember, it must have been after a month and a half or two months, and getting in the pool for the first time. That was liberating because until that time I’d been bed-ridden. Getting in the pool and being able to move again was probably one of the biggest milestones because at least then I could swim every day and keep active. Until that point, it was pretty hard to do anything.”

‘This is only the start for me’

The UAE Tour has seen Froome back in action for the first time since last June. He sailed through the opening stage but when the road started to climb to Hatta Dam on Monday he understandably suffered.

He still managed to put a shift in by supporting his teammate Eddie Dunbar when the pace began to rise, and even battled back after being dropped on the penultimate climb but, as he told Cyclingnews at the start of the week, he is simply here to train and see the week out.

After the UAE Tour, he returns to Europe for another altitude camp. Other races have been discussed but as yet he has not made his schedule public.

“I wasn’t in pain but I’ve not raced for eight months,” he said in relation to his recent outing in the Middle East. “I’m sure I just need more racing. I’m feeling good, and for a first race back I’m feeling really happy. I’m happy with how the legs feel and the shape.

“I was just trying to do a job for the team and try and keep Eddie up there. He’s in great shape for him so we’re going to try and do everything for him, and keep him in a position to get a result.”

Froome was asked how he felt when the peloton initially dropped him before he chased back before the final climb.

“It just keeps me motivated to keep progressing. This is only the start for me and I’m really happy with the feelings so far. I’ve got a long way to go but, like I said before the race started, this is the first test for me now.” 

While racing, Froome’s rehabilitation programme takes something of a back seat. He admits that stretch training on his weaker right side remains a priority, and although that limp is still just about present, it should be eliminated as he continues to improve.

“Naturally, the right side hasn’t been loaded this heavily for a long time now. There’s a lot of little things that I need to work on,” he said.

“There’s still a limp there but that will go. It’s a lot better now than it was a few months ago.”

A couple of minutes later, I looked back, and there he was, just a few bike lengths behind me on this empty road. A few minutes later, still there. Forty-five minutes later, still there. Even as my speed varied, he stayed a few feet behind me, with not a word spoken.

It felt aggressive and it felt creepy—and whether or not he meant it to feel this way, I felt like I was being stalked up this climb.

I am a woman, and while I don’t love putting my weight on the internet, I almost never do, I’m around 53kg and 1.6m tall. At a quick glance, this man was significantly taller and bigger than me. The grade of the climb we were on rolls between three and six percent. These details are important because they point out two things: I am a terrible draft, and even if I wasn’t, drafting on a hill rarely makes sense. With the rolling nature of the climb, this particular rider would have needed to adjust the motor on his e-bike in order to stay where he was behind me.

When I took to the internet with this situation, I heard from dozens of women who’ve had similarly uncomfortable experiences—one woman even received an unsolicited butt pat at the top of a climb. Some had funny solutions—shoot a lot of snot rockets—but most addressed the fear that you feel in these moments.

PSA: If you’re a middle aged dude who gets passed by a young woman cyclist, jumping on her wheel is inappropriate, rude and creepy. It is exponentially creepier when you’re on an Ebike and need to turn UP your e-assist to do so.

This isn’t the first time this has happened to me before. On a climb of a gravel ride, a man sat directly on my wheel without saying a word for a few miles, peeling off only when we hit a town with cars and people around. Out in the middle of nowhere on the mountain bike, a random man hung about 8m behind me for a solid hour of twists and turns in an area with no phone service; I was too nervous to stop to call someone anyway, lest he caught up.

The situation with the e-bike behind me added a deeper level of unease for me because it felt more like when a car starts slowly driving beside you when you’re running solo (which I also try to never do). His ability to control his speed meant that he likely could have simply passed me again, but he was using and adjusting his motor to stay behind me.

Take the bike out of the equation momentarily: If I was walking down a street and passed a man who was walking slowly, but he sped up to get right behind me, then stayed that way for an hour without saying a word, I would likely be looking for the nearest cop. No one would expect that behavior to be okay, so why would someone consider it reasonable behavior on a bike?

While most people agreed with me, there were a few people who suggested that rather than complain on social media, I take it upon myself to educate the rider—maybe he was new, they said. There were a couple who said I was mean for not enjoying having someone sit on my wheel. “Take it as a compliment,” one person told me. In the situation, that was something I could never do.

I pondered this, and after turning it around in my head, I realised that—albeit, in a very minor way—saying I was the one who should have been pleasant, made conversation, or been nicer was shaming the victim. On the ride, I didn’t pull over or stop to talk to this guy because he made me feel uneasy and uncomfortable. I was riding alone on a quiet road with not a car or person in sight, on a climb surrounded by forest. Stopping or trying to engage in dialogue could have been dangerous. On that road, with this man breathing down my neck, I wasn’t feeling safe or willing to give friendly advice; instead, I felt like I was climbing for my life. That’s what my gut was telling me, whether that was his intention or not.

So no, I don’t think it’s my job to explain that it’s inappropriate to cling to a woman’s wheel when you’re using an e-assist in order to do so, with no greeting, no explanation of what you’re doing, no comment. This is some explaining I will never do. (If you have trouble understanding where I’m coming from, pause and ask yourself how you’d feel if this was your daughter, your girlfriend, your wife, or your sister being followed by a man with a motor as she pedaled alone.)

I don’t begrudge new cyclists’ learning curve to understanding certain riding etiquettes, and I don’t mind meeting new people on a ride. I’ve taught a lot of new cyclists how to ride with other people, and I’ve made lifelong friends at cafe stops during a century. Sure, that guy could have been a perfectly nice man who didn’t understand that it’s weird to add more watts with your electric-assist to keep up with a small woman on a climb who provides very little draft at the best of times. But what if he wasn’t?

So no, I don’t think it’s my job to explain that it’s inappropriate to cling to a woman’s wheel when you’re using an e-assist in order to do so, with no greeting, no explanation of what you’re doing, no comment.

I understand that not every person who hops on my wheel has nefarious intent. I tried to figure out why this guy could be on my wheel. He couldn’t be lost, since he didn’t ask for directions, and we were on a road with few turns and obvious signage about where we were. He couldn’t be tired, because he had e-assist, plus he opted to keep climbing when there was a flat route available to any town around this climb. Maybe he was just a little clueless.

But maybe he wasn’t, and that’s what kept running through my mind. I’m not an alarmist, and I don’t usually get nervous on solo rides. This situation felt unsafe in a way I’ve only experienced a handful of times.

No matter who you are, if you suddenly find yourself needing to draft someone, the polite thing to do is to state your intention, saying something like, “I’m late for picking my kids up from school, mind if I draft you for a minute?” or “I forgot all my food and I’m bonked, can I sit on your wheel for a few miles?” If the person says no, back off. Most will say yes.

But if you’re on an e-assist bike and someone passes you, adding more power to stay behind that person without his or her permission doesn’t make sense. If you could draft at the power you’re currently at, then, by all means, ask away; but if you actively need to shift your governor to speedier, don’t do it. “I’ll never do that!”. You might, without realising it. It scares the other person.

If you don’t like being behind the person who passed you, pass them back. And in general, think about how the person might feel with you riding right behind them. (This applies across genders, by the way—a lot of men responded to my initial tweet saying it made them uncomfortable when unknown cyclists appeared on their wheel as well.)

How did my ride finish? After nine kilometers of climbing with him consistently hovering just behind me, a gravel descent I recognized came up on the right. I took the small drop into it quickly—and when I looked over my shoulder, he was paused at the top, looking down.

It might be the first time that Australia has hosted a round of the WorldTour, but the nation has long held world-class road races for women. In fact, it hosted the first leg of the former UCI Women’s World Cup one-day race series for 11 years between 1998 and 2008 in Sydney, Canberra, the Snowy Mountains and Geelong. 

Former winners of that event included Australia’s greats such as Anna Millward, Sara Carrigan, Oenone Wood and Rochelle Gilmore. Other winners included Dede Barry and Katheryn Curi (USA), Petra Rostner and Ina-Yoko Teutenberg (Germany), and Great Britain’s Nicole Cooke.

That Australian World Cup folded following the 2008 edition, and the series was replaced entirely in 2016 by the revamped Women’s WorldTour, which brought together the world’s best one-day races and stage races. 

Australia has also hosted the UCI Road World Championships in 2010, in Geelong and Melbourne, and the 2000 Summer Olympic Games in Sydney.

In recent years, the Australian block of summer racing has included the Bay Crits, the Women’s Tour Down Under and the new Race Torquay (January 30), followed by the Cadel Evans Great Ocean Road Race (February 1) and the Herald Sun Tour (February 5-6).

There have been great expectations placed on Australia to host a round of the Women’s WorldTour, particularly with a promising event like the Women’s Tour Down Under. The stage race annually kicks off the men’s WorldTour, and the women’s event has been praised for hosting a world-class event. However, organisers have a strategic plan for the women’s event to continue to develop from a 1.Pro licence this year to a future Women’s WorldTour licence.

The UCI announced last June that the 2020 Women’s WorldTour will start at the Cadel Evans Great Ocean Road Race. Since its inception in 2016, the series has traditionally begun in Italy at Strade Bianche, which will now mark the second round of the series in March.

Like the Santos Women’s Tour Down Under, the Cadel Evans Great Ocean Road Race has also hit the mark when it comes to offering a world-class racing experience for an international women’s peloton. 

The race started as a 1.2 event in 2016, when Amanda Spratt (then Orica-AIS) won the inaugural edition. Her teammate Annemiek van Vleuten won the race the following year. The race moved up to 1.1 status in 2018, and Chloe Hosking (then Ale Cipollini) won the title, while Arlenis Sierra (Astana) won the race last year.

The route

The Cadel Evans’ Deakin University Elite Women’s Road Race will start and finish in Geelong. The peloton will race one large loop for a total of 121km. When the peloton departs the Geelong waterfront, the riders will head south towards the Surf Coast. 

Once on the coast along Great Ocean Road, they will contest an intermediate sprint in Torquay. They will then pass Bells Beach and turn off the Great Ocean Road to loop back to town where they will race up the Challambra Crescent Climb. 

The climb is close to the finish, and it is short at 1.8km, but it has a seven per cent average gradient with pitches as steep as 17 per cent, which will make it the most decisive part of the race.

The peloton may very well be reduced to a small group after the climb, or perhaps a winning breakaway, that will contest the final in Geelong.

Riders to watch

Arlenis Sierra will toe the start line as the defending champion alongside her Astana Women’s Team that includes Francesca Pattaro, Katia Ragusa, Yeima Torres Beltran and Maryna Ivaniuk. But the Kazakh team will have to take on the higher-quality field now that the race has stepped up to the Women’s WorldTour.

To go along along with the professional women’s cycling reforms, the UCI announced eight new top-tier WorldTeams, and six of those teams will be competing on Saturday.

Winner of the inaugural event, Amanda Spratt, will be on the line with her Mitchelton-Scott team, which also includes Lucy Kennedy and Grace Brown.

Team Sunweb will field Leah Kirchmann, Liane Lippert and Juliette Labous. Trek-Segafredo field Tour Down Under overall winner Ruth Winder and sprinter Lotta Henttala. Ale BTC Ljubljana bring Anna Trevisi and Maaike Boogaard. 

FDJ Nouvelle-Aquitaine Futuroscope have Australian riders in Brodie Chapman – who won Thursday’s Race Torquay – and Shara Gillow. Canyon-SRAM will also field two Australians in Tiffany Cromwell and new Zwift Academy winner Jessica Pratt.

Continental teams looking for success are Tibco-SVB, with the Australian time trial national champion Sarah Gigante, and Rally Cycling with Chloe Hosking, while Roxsolt-Attaquer will be led by Justine Barrow and the Kordamenta Australian National Team is led by Rachel Neylan.

Also on the start line are Italian team Bepink and Mexican team Agolico looking for success in Australia.

Jumbo-Visma manager Richard Plugge told the magazine that they are investigating the idea.

“Next season, one of the largest women’s teams, Boels Dolmans will lose both main sponsors. Perhaps the team will disappear, maybe it will restart, but riders will probably be released. In any case, we have the impression that there is room for us to build up our own women’s team from the ground up,” Plugge said.

Boels Dolmans was the top-ranked team in the UCI World Rankings and UCI Women’s WorldTour in 2019, and has been for the previous five seasons, with Anna van der Breggen, Amy Pieters and Christine Majerus the top scorers.

The team eschewed the new WorldTeam registration after the two co-title sponsors announced in September they would end their contract with the team. Manager Danny Stam was confident in finding replacements at the same level and stated outright he preferred the team to remain independent and not become part of a men’s team.

Plugge, who has added an under-23 development programme as well as community outreach efforts with the Jumbo-Visma Academy, recognised that more needs to be done to foster cycling for girls and women.

“With the Academy we often talk about the realization of boys’ dreams. But we are just as committed to girls’ dreams. The underlying idea is that we want to share our love and passion for cycling with more people in the Netherlands. You can do that through the Academy, but in the long run also with your own women’s team.”

If Jumbo-Visma add a women’s team, they would become the ninth WorldTour organisation to have top teams for both genders: Astana, CCC, Groupama-FDJ, Lotto Soudal, Mitchelton-Scott, Movistar, Sunweb, and Trek-Segafredo all have women’s squads.
