There’s a lot of talk about the new 35mm bars. The guys at MBUK magazine are on them and rate them, although they’re so stiff that some people are questioning if they might fatigue riders on rougher tracks like Fort William

Last weekend’s racing at Val Di Sole in Italy saw crowd favourite, Cedric Gracia, injured in a horrific crash. With a broken femur and shattered pelvis, he’s not in a good way and will be on the sidelines for a considerable period. Everyone here at BikeRadar wishes Cedric a speedy recovery – the scene is not the same without him
