State of the Peloton 2026

It looks like guys are really good this year. Seixas showed some thermunuclear form, the second UAE climb was fast by a few guys. Let's see how Teddy fares against the competition this Saturday. This can indicate if he will show off record-breaking numbers this year or if there's hope for others.

Luke Plapp beat Pogacar's time on Jebel Hafeet.

The onus is on Pogacar to prove he aint washed.

During a training ride on the Ligurian coast, Pogacar recorded a new personal best on the Cipressa. According to Strava data from the ride, he climbed the 5.6-kilometre ascent in 8 minutes 51 seconds, improving his previous benchmark by six seconds.

Gaps should tell the story (as always). If he easily cleans SB against this stacked field then it could indicate the third historic season. If it's closer then who knows what the season brings.

They've finally caught a Danish guy!

20 year old Mads Schulz Jørgensen, a new signing to Niklas Larsen's former team, BHS-PL Beton Bornholm, has tested positive for Terbutaline at the Danish cyclocross championship in January, where he finished 4th in the elite race. It's allegedly because he's accidentally used his father's asthma inhaler instead of his own.

Are you sure about the "finally caught" part. Sounds like its a very rare thing.

He was overheated. The race was so intense that he didn't have time to take off his long pants.

well, to be precise, if you name former riders there are at least the 2025 riders "JENSEN Andreas Krogh, SCHEBYE Jacob Maegaard, SZOKODY Martin, ØRITSLAND Mikkel and Niklas Larsen's former team"
