Racing settled down a bit this week after the end of the Tour de Suisse, giving all the big news websites time to publish all their back catalogue of Tour de France preview articles. Well, I say all the big news websites. Not all. In fact, not my favourite. Yes, this week saw the very … Read more
Opinion pieces abound this week, mostly around the Tour de France. Here’s my opinion: I’m seeing no one who can challenge Tadej Pogačar on an individual basis based on both the Dauphiné and the Tour de Suisse. Either Jonas comes back from injury souped up, or there is going to have to be the most … Read more
A mega crash. That’s what dominated the cycling news this week. What would the Dauphiné Stage 5 wipe out mean for the Tour? At the time of writing, it’s still hard to say. But it feels like Pog and Geraint are currently the only big name GC riders to be going into the Tour without … Read more
Wow. Ready to put last month’s Zwift price hike into perspective? It’s genuinely hard to write this post without comparing it to Zwift, and I don’t really want too because this deserves to standalone. Truly epic. OK, so I strongly suggest you simply watch the video. But if you can’t, or won’t, or just want … Read more
The Giro is over, and all eyes are looking forwards to what that means for the Tour. Will Jonas make the start, and if so, will he be fit enough to fight against Pog? Speaking of Pog… well, it’s less news than last week on his front. But the news that has come out has … Read more
Unsurprisingly, mostly Giro news this week. Pog has been something, hasn’t he? His win on the Queen Stage was absolutely nuts. Just mindblowing to be able to drop his nearest competitors with 15 minutes to go, like he was just riding along whilst they were at their limits. Crazy. It’s such a shame Jonas isn’t … Read more
It’s a bit of a shame that Pog has the Giro basically in the bag already. It would have been better to see Jonas and Wout in the mix for Visma to shake things up. But fingers crossed for the tour, eh? Still, I love Grand Tours as there is cycling to watch every single … Read more
Giro, Giro, here we ****’in go! Yep, the Giro d’Italia is in full swing… and going about the way everyone and their dog expected. That’s not to say it’s not exciting though, with plenty of highlights including OAP Julian Alaphilippe nearly winning a stage yesterday (at the time of writing). Outside of the Giro, the … Read more
This weekend sees the start of the first Grand Tour of 2024, by way of the Giro d’Italia. As a result, lots of the main cycling sites were very Giro heavy this week. But in the background to that there was a lot of retail news, due to (I think) it being the end of … Read more
Normal service resumes this week, with lots of racing , team transfer antics, and some positive, some comical retail talk to enjoy. Oh, and lots of bike pics from the Sea Otter Classic. As always you can see last week’s post by clicking here. Right-o, let’s crack on, shall we? Pogačar Powers to Victory at Liège-Bastogne-Liège … Read more
