The Scandinavian team\u2019s public gesture last week might be unprecedented in pro cycling, sparking conversation about queer inclusion in the sport.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s been almost two weeks now since Uno-X Mobility made a public celebration of Pride Month, and I\u2019ve thought of little else since then.<\/p>\n

It was around lunchtime on Sunday, June 14, and I was settling into an afternoon of work after walking the dog, making some lunch, and brewing my second coffee of the day. Social media is often a good place to start during race season, seeking information, insights and \u2018sensations\u2019 from teams and riders before the day\u2019s events. Among the pre-race presentation snaps, banal quotes describing breakaway hopes, and complaints about the weather that Sunday was a short edited Instagram story from Uno-X that showed three groups of riders from both the men\u2019s and women\u2019s WorldTour squads, all of them cheerily (mostly) displaying the rainbow pride flag.<\/p>\n

I tapped through the next couple of clips before realising what I\u2019d seen. Scrolling back, I watched it again, noting the number of riders involved, and where the gestures were made \u2013 the women\u2019s team had raced the Copenhagen Sprint on Saturday, and the men were represented both in Copenhagen and at the Tour Auvergne-Rh\u00f4ne-Alpes on Sunday. Sure, some of them looked a little less enthusiastic about their flag waving, but I \u2013 perhaps generously \u2013 accepted that it may simply have been the intensity of pre-race (even home race) nerves that I was seeing, rather than any actual reluctance. And there wasn\u2019t a single team member who was empty-handed. That was something.<\/p>\n
