Yeah Pogacar is just done, he's losing minutes to the break on this climb.

Th e team radio we've heard hasn't been all that interesting so far, but that is the best yet.

Two minutes between Vingegard and Pogacar now

Back to defend the title from last year. Not had much time to follow the racing this year, but I wouldn't miss the Tour. Good luck to everyone in the game this year.

Another little-known player, the Chilean Barbara Gatica (ranked 211 in singles, 165 in doubles) has tested positive for Boldenone at the same event (she and Tara Moore actually played against each other in the doubles). The contaminated meat defence is obviously going to be in play here. The...

The Ride London men's race is dead, along with the sportive. The women's race will continue on the terrible crit circuit. (The women's race is actually down on the calendar as a 3 day race next year, but there's been no announcement of additional stages and no indication TfL is on board). If it...

I was imagining maybe Van Vleuten might want to focus solely on winning the TdFF, plus Uttrup Ludwig (because FDJ) and maybe a couple of others. If it does happen that the whole top 10 give it a swerve (and probably that'd become most of the best 20 or 30 riders if the focus on the TdFF is that...

So, now this year's edition is over, what of the future of the race? PMG are supposed to be organising again next year, have they shown enough to convince the UCI to put it back on the World Tour calendar? We didn't get the prescribed 45 minutes of live pictures. It's scheduled to end two weeks...
