Felipe Orts has been a very popular rider recently in the cyclocross peloton and today at the Cyclocross Rucphen, Netherlands, he has managed to take the first win of the season after a tremendous performance at the European Championships in Pontevedra.
There we managed to talk to the Spanish champion after his second place behind Thibau Nys, and we saw a relaxed and very in-form rider. His form has not come down one bit, and today in Rucphen he has won for the first time since winning the national championships back in January, beating Ryan Kamp and Jens Adams to second and third.

- Uh- actually carbon monoxide IS poisonous. It kills you if the dose is high enough. No different than say- a heavy metal- which disrupts metabolic processes.

Or perhaps it's just the new way to cover up the banned methods of producing red blood cells.Sweep12-11-2024

- So a bunch of professional riders honor one of the greatest sprinters of all time by racing with him and handing him a trophy. And they all get to say to their grandchildren, "I rode with Mark in his last race ever". It's like the Oscars without the politics, the rich snobs, the fake applause, and the lousy jokes. Oh and without the slapping.Sweep12-11-2024

leedorney12-11-2024 - Quite right, writing off Jonas for 2025 victory after what he still managed under the circumstances is a big mistake. Riders are probably peaking younger these days which means they may not last as long and we might have to stop expecting progress until early thirties.Mistermaumau12-11-2024
- You only had to look at the faces of half the riders at the front to see what was going on. Looking to the side into tge crowds to hide their incapacity to stay serious and concentrated.Mistermaumau12-11-2024
