All the famous mountain bike jumps over the Tour de France petoton from 2003 to 2019

Yesterday as the Tour de France rode Stage 10 of the 2019 tour, 19-year-old Valentin Anouilh took to the trails above the peloton and claimed the honour of being 'the guy to jump the tour' this year.

Halo Ridge Line 27.5" wheelset review

The Halo Ridge Line 27.5" wheels are a bargain wheelset that has stood the test of time very well indeed. They might be a little heavy but at £240, tubeless taped and ready to ride, we are not going to moan too much about an extra 250g over pricer rivals.
