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.

The big 6 is an outdated concept.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...

Amundsen and Krüger should beat him in the 10k skating but he will still take the gold medal Winter Olympics record, unfortunately.

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...

Pogačar can opt to ride the Vuelta in 2026 but with a WCRR course that suits him, I just don’t think it will happen and instead his 2025 blueprint of Spring Classics-Tour-Worlds/Lombardia is likely to be repeated with a few minor adjustments here and there. 2027 though offers an interesting...

Beautiful race to finish the season and what a way for Løland to get his first career pro win.

Timo de Jong, what a win beating Kubiš and Laporte.

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.

After some difficult months I have to say that I was impressed with how Remco bounced back in the latter part of the season. He showed once again that he is the best time trialist in the world and the second best hilly classics rider in the world. Hopefully no major crashes next season (and...

More than 100 years. https://www.cyclingnews.com/news/19-year-old-paul-seixas-becomes-youngest-rider-in-100-years-to-finish-top-10-in-a-mens-monument-but-still-a-bit-disappointed-with-il-lombardia-debut/ Next season I think its inevitable that Seixas debuts in a Grand Tour, Decathlon will...

5th win in 5 attempts for Pogačar in Il Lombardia, this is truly his race.10th monument win as well, so he is now more than half of the way done to catch Merckx record. Great work from his teammates to set him up with a special mention to Majka which will be dearly missed. Remco once again...

After the end of last season, UAE reportedly made an offer to Seixas but he decided to stay in the Decathlon project.

Yes, and Seixas rejected it. Great way to finish off the season with a 7th place in his monument debut after his incredible 3rd place last weekend in the Euros. Seixas engine is massive for a 19 year old and seeing him finish next to Del Toro today convinces me that he is the biggest young...
