We're privileged to work with Kate, and even moreso to be able to publish her fantastic story on EC. Why is a cycling site publishing a story about auto racing? Because it's also about bike racing, and how power and wealth shape sports journalism.

Good lesson from @MarkCavendish for all the young bike racers out there: always hang onto your bars as long as possible. Helps protect your wrists and sometimes collarbone. And keeping the bike close may have saved a few other riders from going down as well.
