Strijden Mathieu van der Poel, Wout van Aert en Puck Pieterse over vijf jaar om de Olympische titels in de cross? De UCI doet er alles aan om veldrijden toe te voegen aan het olympisch programma, maar de internationale wintersportbonden zijn fel tegen. Met enkele zeer vooraanstaande 'lobbyisten' hoo

Tadej Pogačar 🇸🇮 is said to support the Giro d'Italia and Vuelta a España swapping places in the calendar?
What are your thoughts? The weather may improve for Italy but Spain still gets high 30s regularly in May especially in the south of the country.

This is a shame that they're closing those teams but their loss is the younger generations gain, I guess!
🇲🇽 A.R Monex, the team that gave Isaac del Toro his start, is closing its men's under-23 team and women's elite team for 2026.
They will now focus on their junior and youth programmes as they seek to find the next Mexican stars

Biniam Girmay 🇪🇷 will leave Intermarché-Wanty after 5 and a bit years where he won Tour green and 4 stages, a stage of the Giro, Gent-Wevelgem and much more.
Where will he go next? Well, almost every finger points towards NSN Cycling, formally Israel-Premier Tech. A good move for the Eritrean star?

I agree with Bardet. French cycling media are so desperate for a Tour winner they put the pressure of the world on talented young riders shoulders who then can't quite manage to live up to the hype.
Bardet, Pinot, Alaphilippe, Sicard, Barguil, Rolland etc etc etc. Seixas could be the same.

After some good news earlier in the week for Fernando Gaviria 🇨🇴 as he signs for Caja Rural-Seguros RGA, he has some rather bad news.
The Colombian sprinter has been handed a 2 month suspended prison sentence for driving 5x over the legal drink drive limit. Not good!

Fantastic to see Ben Granger 🇬🇧 get a move to Solutions Tech-Vini Fantini for 2026.
He has taken some great results including wins at last year's Lancaster GP and this year's CiCLE Classic, Firenze-Empoli, Giro del Montalbano as well as 3rd at Coppa Sabatini just 8" behind Isaac del Toro 🇲🇽!

The news that it seems Paramount+ have bought UEFA Champions League rights from 2027/28 to 2030/31 may not sound relevant to cycling fans.
However, Paramount+ are apparently expected to be buying Warner Bros. Discovery+. Could this see yet more changes to the streaming platform for cycling fans?

One thing I've learnt from watching the African Championships is that Ethiopia 🇪🇹 have some fantastic riders coming up through the ranks.
Some very impressive performances by both men and women fron juniors to elite. They have some special talents that could flourish given the right chances.

The U23 title taken by Aman 🇪🇷 with Mimouni 🇩🇿 in 2nd and Samuel Niyonkuru 🇷🇼 managing 3rd after crashing earlier in the race covering him in dust and dirt.
A pleasure to commentate on.
