I jump at any chance to cover rock \u2019n\u2019 roll. But first things first, let\u2019s recap what we\u2019ve been doing at Cyclist<\/em>.<\/p>\n

MTB brand YT launched the Szepter gravel bike<\/a>, which Will promptly reviewed<\/a>\u00a0as being comfortable and capable (my new dating app bio), while we also looked at the Factor Ostro VAM<\/a> and its potential in being the ultimate all-round race bike.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s been bike-mad recently. Ribble launched special editions for their 125th anniversary<\/a> and we listed which bike brands, groupsets and brakes won the most<\/a> during Grand Tours in 2022.<\/p>\n

Oh, and I covered the men\u2019s 2022 Tour de France route reveal<\/a> too. Now let\u2019s get into another Extremely Online Round-up before you get an Appetite for Destruction.<\/p>\n

Simon Geschke is in Paradise City<\/h2>\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

In Japan for the Saitama Criterium, Simon Geschke found himself Right Next Door to Hell after realising Guns \u2019n\u2019 Roses were playing next to his hotel and he didn\u2019t have a ticket. The Cofidis rider has long professed his love of rock \u2019n\u2019 roll, a list which also contains Daniel Oss.<\/p>\n

He realised he Ain\u2019t Going Down without a fight and after some Patience, a One in a Million kind fan helped Geschke secure a ticket to see the band \u2013 avoiding some November Rain in his Heartbreak Hotel.<\/p>\n

Welcome to the Jungle, Simon. Ain\u2019t it fun?<\/p>\n

Elsewhere at the Saitama Criterium, riders such as Jonas Vinegaard, Vincenzo Nibali and Chris Froome were treated to a variety of delights, from appreciating Japanese culture when offered to wear Kimonos, to eating local delicacies and riding with children.<\/p>\n

Via @LeTour.<\/em><\/p>\n

It\u2019s hard to tell who\u2019s having more fun.<\/p>\n

\n
\"\"\/ <\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Didi the Devil was also present, a staple sight jumping at the side of Tour de France roads.<\/p>\n

\n
\"\"\/ <\/div>\n<\/div>\n

There was even time for a candyfloss contest. It\u2019s the little things.<\/p>\n

Jasper Philipsen won their eventual\u2026 race<\/em>, ahead of Geraint Thomas and 2022 Tour de France winner Vingegaard.<\/p>\n\n\n

A Star is Born<\/h2>\n
\n
\"\"\/ <\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Trek-Segafredo\u2019s newest entry in their almost weekly slot in this series involves borrowing a scene from the film A Star is Born<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Featuring one of the best actors in the industry, and also Bradley Cooper, the team superimposes Mads Pedersen\u2019s green Madone onto a scene where The Hangover<\/em> star tells Lady Gaga to turn around.<\/p>\n

I haven\u2019t seen the film, but if it\u2019s anything like Gaga\u2019s performance as the murderous Countess in American Horror Story<\/em> (and something tells me it isn\u2019t) then sign me up!<\/p>\n

FREE HIM<\/h2>\n
\n
\"\"\/ <\/div>\n<\/div>\n

As seen at the European Cyclocross Championships.<\/p>\n

You heard. FREE HIM.<\/p>\n

Special shoutout: Rein Taaram\u00e4e<\/h2>\n

How awesome is this? Nice one Rein.<\/p>\n

I\u2019d also like to dedicate this section to hopefully brightening up my mum\u2019s stay in hospital. Get well soon! Even though you know this because I already told you. But now you can read it again. Did that work?<\/p>\n

See you next week! <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
