On the final days of 2023 the cycling world was struck with an immense tragedy as former pro rider Melissa Hoskins passed away. Her husband, former rider and time-trial World Champion Rohan Dennis will be charged with dangerous driving in the ongoing investigation of her death.
The incident happened just outside the couple's home in Australia last winter, Hoskins was struck by a pick-up truck and did not survive the injuries. Dennis was on that day arrested and it was implied that he was behind the wheel, although it was unclear what exactly had happened.
Exact details are not yet public however it is widely reported in Australia this morning that Dennis, a winner in all Grand Tours and twice time-trial World Champion - who retired at the end of last season - will be charged with causing death by dangerous driving and aggravated driving without care.

- When I was working for Starkist/Heinz my manager quit. So the next week my group was put under another manager. During our first meeting he asked if there was anything we needed to tell him. I said that I would be out the following week on vacation. He said "I don't know if I can let you go on vacation". I replied, "You can't tell if I can go. You can only tell me if I can come back".Sweep17-11-2024

- Pointless reporting. They are rivals, each tries their way to get their best result, with or without collaboration. As long as it’s all fair, why even report riders feelings about such stuff (yes I know, lack of other news). Anyone riding races will go through dozens of moments per race where they get emotional about the way someone else rides or takes advantage or doesn’t collaborate or more, it is natural, it is justified, it is NOT newsworthy!Mistermaumau17-11-2024

- A good analogy is germane; a bad analogy isn't. You could say the strength of an analogy can be judged by its germaneness. I thought the bank account analogy was rather germane indeed!mikebeast16-11-2024
