You may or may not have seen the news by now. If not, let me get you up to speed. The Ironman Group recently sold FulGaz to a competing virtual cycling app, Rouvy. Ironman did not include any FulGaz staff in the deal so around a week ago, the entire FulGaz team (myself included) were…

What is fast, anyway?
I’ve been thinking. When it comes to cycling, what exactly is “fast” and what is fast enough? And at the end of the day, does it even matter? Is fast something reserved for World Tour riders?
