He overtrained during the Covid break in 2020, entered the Giro that autumn in minus and suffered through, then in the winter of 2021 he had a horrible crash in training and didnt come back before late August. After that he was't as strong as before, and while the entire peloton speed up during...

If I have understood it correctly, a situation where one team "buys" the Intermarche licence it means they are buying the company behind and therefore also the existing contracts (20 riders + the ones of the development team I would guess) and then that team can transfer (some of their) riders...

Have you missed the news about the Lotto-Intermarche merger?

With Arkea folding and with the Intermarche-Lotto merger Q36.5 will be the 3rd PT team to get automatic invitations behind Uno-X(/Cofidis) and Tudor.

It's a gold mine when you are good. Kern Pharma won 3 stages and had several good stage results. Israel won a stage with Woods, Frigo was 2nd in one and Strong had a lot of top stage results. Cofidis scored 407 points in the Vuelta last year, and they went there with basically their best team...

Thor Hushovd said that they are going «all in», and that they will race much this autumn. Will be interesting to see what that means. I think their schedule on PCS is not at all complete, but until the end of september they have 8 one day races and 4 stage races planned, while Cofidis in the...

Even if he did win stage 2 I think his form is mediocre at best, and when Wærenskjold is not in great form he tends to stuggle on even the smallest hills/upphill sprints.

It was. In his Barloworld days he was around 75 kilos and when he started winning grand tours I remember a lot of talk about it and comparison of pictures of him "now and then". Im a bit busy today, so dont have time to go deep into the internet archive to find a lot of old articles, but this...

When Froome went from gruppeto to GT wins, his weight loss was widely regarded as one of the main factors in the public.

Bruyneel says in his last Podcast that Girmay will not be a part of the new team. Pure guessing or does he have some insight?

I find this part a bit strange. Cycling fans talk about the weight of the men all the time, and there have been plenty of comments over the last years about his appearance implying things like he's unhealthy skinny or looks like a little boy. Similar comments have been made about "skeletons" on...

it is cool to see a Pro Conti team being able to boss it against the b-squads of the WT-teams. It would be sad if the best PT teams with their main team couldnt give it to the the B- and C-squads of the big teams once in a while. Only 2nd win in Belgium this season. Last year they won 8 times...

Christen should probably be the fastest in such a hilly sprint of the front 3? Abrahamsen is strong and not slow, but he’s been working a lot.

And he got dropped on the first climb…

According to Danish Wikipedia Mads Pedersen was one of the team owners from 2021-2024. So i guess not any longer.
