Dugast goes tubeless!

Or at least tubeless tubulars, like Tufo:

Regular tubulars look like on the right side. A cotton tube sewed together with a basetape covering and a thread glued on the other side. Added are a latex tube inside. But Dugast is making progress and gluing and adding latex to the cotton so loosing both seems and tubes. Makes the construction better so riders like Nino Schurter and Wout Van Aert can ride with higher pressure but with same grip and plushness. The solution also saves 10% in weight compared to regular tubulars.

Tufo has always done this but with rubber all the way so have been pretty harsh. But who will follow Dugast now when they soon are releasing their tires leading the industry once again?

CX Superprestige Spa Francorchamps

Think it’s my favourite racing course, Spa Francorchamps got all you need for racing with cars.

It also got an awesome cyclocross race where it seems like Sanne van Paassen found her speed again 🙂 Will share their replay as soon as I find it, until then we can watch the men’s race:

Koppenbergcross with Verschueren and van Aert

Wout van Aert came like a rocket last season winning a lot. This year it’s a new Belgian riding coming fast. The small Jolien Verschueren. Today she won the big Koppenbergcross:

And Wout van Aert won the men’s race in a great way:
