Swart giving away Pogs secret and now every cyclist in the peloton will be hitting the gym over the winter and churning out the sit ups and crunches. Lots of riders will have 8 packs next year which will help facilitate those insane seated accelarations. Not sure why Swart decided to share it...

Any gains made by changing training methods will be very very marginal at that top elite level of the sport. He was already arguably the top rider in the world but since early 2024 he has gone to another stratosphere. None of that can be explained by training methods which is only a useful cover...

So Wiggo has a new book out which means that at long last he will finally have his say. He told us it would shock a few people so lets hope its worth the wait. I wouldn't hold my breath though, I think its just his way of paying off a few debts. On a human level its sad to see his demise but on...

The UCI have created a monster, simply too big to fail now so I think Pogacar will be another Usain Bolt, he will go through his career without getting busted. The casual fan won’t be too bothered anyway. It’s hard to feel too sorry for the majority of the other riders though, they are mostly...

Pogacar will have felt humiliated as he was caught by Remco with a 2 minute start in last weekends TT. It doesn’t matter that Remco was strong favourite to win it, just the manner of him toiling in vain to try and hold his wheel was a rare moment of weakness that we haven’t witnessed in 2 years...

You're making the assumption that each of these riders are happy and willing to continue to race. My belief would be that there is pressure being put on them from management and from outside to not back down. [content deleted] The UCI need to seriously reevaluate the rules around nation state...

I think we all need a laugh! 😂

When will people realise that online is not the real world and is often purely used as a PR and propaganda tool by anonymous accounts. It can be a cesspit at times.

They won't get any new riders next season even if they do decide to continue on racing. Those already under contract may find it difficult to leave and may come under pressure to stay put but I'm not sure if any of them will really want to continue to incur the wrath of roadside fans if they can...

Did Adams canvas all of the other teams and riders to come to this conclusion. That's just PR spin since all of the other riders and teams will not have a uniform opinion on this. Many of them will be living in a cycling bubble and who are either unaware of the ongoing humanitarian issues of...

1. Vingegaard 2. Ayuso 3. Ciccone A top level Vingegaard wins this race by over 5 minutes but I think it might be closer than that as he hasn't always come out of the Tour in top shape. It will be a battle to see who emerges as UAEs main GC threat and on home soil I'd favour Ayuso although I'd...

Of course nothing will come off the Rozman saga. The omerta runs deep and it's the age old tactic of playing for time knowing that once the season is over nobody will care much about it anymore. If there was one thing Sky excelled at above all others it was PR and by them issuing a statement...

I don't know how you can make this assertion. Perhaps it is true but I suspect that it more than likely isn't because nobody actually knows his base level when clean. Presuming that he was already on the rocket fuel whilst winning the Tour on PDBF in 2020, then it is likely that you have to go...

https://www.cyclingnews.com/news/im-already-counting-the-years-until-retirement-tadej-pogacar-accepts-he-cannot-win-forever/ All this retirement talk from Pogacar is slightly bizarre. Whatever happened him during this Tour he transformed from the carefree, fun loving bike rider into a stony...

https://velo.outsideonline.com/road/road-training/the-strength-training-secret-of-pogacar-and-his-tour-domination/ Swart claims that extra core training plays a big part in Pogacars ability to stay seated whenever he attacks. Revolutionary stuff, although this mightn't be as much of an...
