This week, Dan’s delving into the provisional suspension of Oier Lazkano and explains exactly how the complex Athlete Biological Passport system works. He also wraps up a huge weekend of racing from the brand new Gravel Burn stage race in South Africa, where there was a huge final-day upset in the women’s race. Plus: the chaos of the Koppenbergcross, and other pro retirements and transfers from the last few days.
