    MVDP had a flat on Carrefour de l'Arbre. He didn't know the gap and couldn't communicate with the team car (radio not working) but the...

    VVDP's peak cobbled classics form was 2024. In 2025 he was ill in the Flanders run up, and after Paris Roubaix said he struggled and it...

    He lost the chance to remain in contention all the way to the velodrome because of his crash. Don't think anyone would challenge that...

    Strohmeyer finished 21, 12, and 16 in his first European races of the calendar so there is some reason to have self-confidence, but even...

    I wouldn't put much stock into any rider's post-race interviews. They're not going to give any important information away, especially...

    I think Gavere will be a decent race, and that long climb will actually be rideable for once......which enabled Pidcock to beat MvdP in...

    Donkey duty when it's needed/when it fits the training schedule. Take it easy on all the other days. The problem is he'll try to win...

    Two good results for Arkea riders who are presumably still looking for new teams in 2026: Fouquenet with the win and 18 yo Raf Carrier...

    I enjoyed the Hofstade course. Three days of sand in a row is a bit much, but on its own merit it has a lot going for it. I prefer it to...

    I don't think it even matters that he's Dutch. It's that he's not Wout, who Belgian fans seem to have an almost spiritual connection...
