this week in cycling

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

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

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

Being away last week meant I didn’t post a ‘This Week In Cycling’ post. That didn’t mean I didn’t read all the cycling news – and I managed to watch a good chunk of both the women’s and men’s Paris-Roubaix races live. This week then is a bumper edition, catching up on all the stories … Read more

Last weekend was all about Mathieu van der Poel’s dominance at the Tour of Flanders. Grabbing most of the headlines this week in the pro peloton has been plenty of crashes, and the resulting injuries. Fingers crossed for speedy recoveries all round. We hit on April Fools, albeit with not so many hilarious memes and … Read more
