Vaughters calls for calendar reform to boost cycling safety after Tarling’s death

EF Education-EasyPost CEO Jonathan Vaughters urged governance reform in pro cycling after Finlay Tarling’s death, criticizing rolling road closures and the pressure to chase UCI ranking points that heighten risk in the peloton; he argued there are too many races—asking, ‘Why do we need 700 race days around the world?’—and urged the sport’s governing body to reduce the calendar and strengthen safety standards, despite cost concerns for organizers. Tarling died after being hit by a car during stage 8 of the Volta a Portugal, adding to six rider deaths in the last three years.

Michelin Performance Line Tires: Fast Rolling, Long-Lasting, With a Wet-Weather Catch

Pinkbike’s review flags Michelin’s Performance Line E-Wild and Wild Enduro tires as fast-rolling and long-wearing on dry, rocky trails, thanks to a harder Gum-X center and Magi-X side knobs plus a dual-ply 33 TPI casing with pinch protection; they’re cheaper than Racing Line ($83.99 vs $99.99) and offer strong damping, but grip suffers in wet conditions (roots/rocks) and tubeless mounting can be finicky, making them best suited for dry-weather riding where longevity matters. For wet climates or peak grip, racers might prefer Racing Line or alternatives like Specialized/Maxxis.
