    Great fight today between Nys and Mason with belgian winning again. Too bad yesterday's winner Nieuwenhuis crashed in the first lap. @TourOfSardinia Aerts got sick.

    Giro d'Italia Giro d'Italia 2026 Route: Speculation, Rumours and Announcements

    Hopefully we get a proper Muri stage that's something that has been missing in the last few years. Two TT's would also be nice obviously.

    Hopefully a new sponsor steps up to take over the team, there were already enough teams folding in 2025.

    Hope that Pogačar rides it and skips Amstel and Flèche instead.

    Lavreysen adding 4 more gold medals to his vast collection. He is to track sprinting what Pogačar is to stage races and hilly classics. Acevedo giving Mexican cycling another reason to celebrate and Viviani having a fairytale ending to his career.

    Teams & Riders The Big 6

    The big 6 is an outdated concept. It made sense back in 2022 or 2023 when Pogačar was still beatable even on races that suit him and Van Aert and Roglič were still in their prime, Right now, it makes more sense to talk about tiers. Tier 1: Pogačar Tier 2: Vingegaard, Van der Poel, Evenepoel...

    Tour de France Tour de France 2026 route rumours

    A worse route than 2024 and 2025. One positive aspect is that apart from the second weekend, the rest of weekend stages should be interesting but this just feels like a watered down and backloaded route without enough hard stages for a Grand Tour. Also, despite being a backloaded route if...

    General News Thread

    Its worth mentioning that when travelling West the time difference is actually beneficial. If a rider departs from Paris on Monday early morning it should be able to arrive on LA around noon local time. It will still be very tight for the TT but for the RR it should be perfectly fine.

    Mou is exaggerating but after winning 3 monuments this season and getting on the podium of the other two, I think Pogacar might beat Merckx's 19 monuments wins record after all.
