Nuking it from 500m to go, never change Fernando

Hellemose passed by Rochas and Tratnik out for a spin most amateurs could potentially keep up with for 4km...

I seem to recall Carapaz being DQed by a moto after Roche aux Faucons in LBL, for either hands over bars or sitting on top tube. He did it, immediately reminded himself it was illegal and changed position, shaking his head. The moto pulled up and DQed him

Quite right you are, he will probably still be racing the world's best GT in 2036 if he's only 33 right now

God help us on Max, Adam Blythe has referred to Reis as a young man who he doesnt believe has a pro win to his name... and we are paying for this

They have a very good devo team this year, would have thought climbing phenom Bravo and for sure Soenens would be called up before Valjavec. But maybe Bravo will be left until 2028 with the likes of Vanden Heede, Servranckx and Mexico's newest new climber Said Cisneros

Rondel is the latest talent to sign a long-term deal, now with Tudor until 2030. Another Frenchman, Clement Braz Afonso, pens a new two-year extension with FDJ until 2028.

I noticed his bike was orange and black, as opposed to the orange and white of Tarling's. I wonder if that is almost last seasons or a spare, in which case there was maybe not a transponder. Looking at results, no way Tarling would rise up to and drop him, surely he would follow him in until the...

He was very good as a final year U23 at Ronde de l'Isard, not far behind Widar and Liam O'Brien, even beat them both to a stage. Looks like another pure Colombian climber, which is great!

They cut off at 2km to go to show Europa League build up 45 mins ahead of kick off...

Ridiculous stuff

Based on rumours so far we have as follows: Alpecin (19) - linked at least with Sentjens, Busatto, Ballerstedt, De Vylder, Geens? Bahrain (28) - Maciejuk would make 29 Cycling Academy (25) Decathlon (28) EF (22) - Carapaz, Carthy, Van der Lee, Rafferty, Ryan, Nerurkar & Cepeda all to extend...

Unibet Rose Rockets add Ronan Auge plus their two trainees Colin Savioz and Eivind Broholt Fougner. Possibly still Venturini and Karsten Larsen Feldmann to come based on rumours. Notably stocking up on Frenchmen...

That's 26 riders, Timo De Jong will make 27. One spot left if they go with the 28 rider spots they used for 2025. They've not lost lots of talent (Vermaerke was underused this year and Lund is a loss), but budgetary issues must be a concern given the randomness of what they've brought in. Two...

I agree completely. I don't see a clash for 2026 really, for me Lidl-Trek have a bigger issue splitting Milan and Pedersen if Mads wants a crack at completing the sprinters jersey sets. Ayuso clearly wants the TdF, and whilst Skjelmose could also target that, he only really has one successful GC...
