4️⃣th World Cup overall
Still no contract for 2026. That's really not understandable. If you look at how many riders with contracts finish (far) behind her.

Tadej Pogacar will have an extremely tin Spring program for mental reasons according to his sports manager
He's not interested anymore in races like Fleche & Amstel and the press moments that come with them, and opts for rest instead
They want to keep him fresh till Paris

Ironically that the competition with the most moral values lifts the restrictions first.
It would have been more logically to allow 🇷🇺 Russia in ordinary competitions and not the Olympics
Anyway, the world is hypocritical about all of this

The IOC has taken a big step toward reintegrating Russia and Belarus into world sports. It’s advising governing bodies of Olympic sports to let youth teams and athletes compete with their full identity of national flag and anthem.

Former Olympic MTB champion Jolanda Neff will take part in 9 cyclocross races, this Winter. Starting on Sunday with Namur, on Sunday. If things go well, the Worlds might become an option too.
Her start position might hurt her for now, but she'll be interesting to follow

Really looking forward to see Lotte Kopecky back in top form in 2026.
Her refocus on classics & grand tour stages will definitly add flavour again to the sport, all season long, and why not occassionally still target a GC of other races?

Just like in previous editions, the Olympic Road Race will look like a criterium again.
Still only maximum 4 riders per team, 90 riders in total.
A disrespect for cycling as a team sport. Perhaps we will also play football with 6 players instead of 11?

Another case where a team invests in a rider to bring him to the highest level, but he immediatly leaves despite a running contract.
It's not rewarding at all for a team and its sponsors to invest in talents anymore if they can be bought out like that.

Symbolically banning countries from events, but still fueling their leaderships with big money doesn't stop wars. Just like discriminating innocent citizens won't do so.
