Quite curious what other people think about AI when it comes to writing - particularly cycling journalism.

Do you care if AI is used to write a race report?

I do. I care a lot.

Fabulous piece of writing explaining why AI might be a possible choice when you purchase a WiFi connected fridge but it can feck right off for creative thought and interpretation.

Evenepoel isn't planning on riding the Tour of Flanders in 2026.

He is one of only three Belgian winners of a monument classic (post-WW1) who has never ridden the Tour of Flanders

Backpedalled my way through the archives to find a great article on the Bayern Rundfahrt which prompted me to uncover a fact about Greg LeMond which has been lost in the fog of the internet.

Velo d'Or tonight. For a piece of pie, there are only two Tour de France winners who did not finish in the top three of the Velo d'Or in the year that they won the Tour.

Landis/Pereiro/2006 was one.

Who is the other one?

Why has Remco Evenepoel never ridden the Tour of Flanders?

Is that unusual?

How many monument classic winners from Belgium have never ridden it?

Is he the only one?

Lots of questions… but also lots of answers.

The idea of a Big Three in cyclo cross is, and always been, nonsense.

Numbers, proof etc. It's all here.

I start off with Thor Hushovd and Alexander Kristoff and somehow end up at Lance Armstrong breaking his neck.

Alexander Kristoff said that he has retired now having never broken a bone during his career.

For a sprinter, that is astonishing.

New episode of DNF podcast is out. The latest one was all of us at Rouleur Live where we recorded altogether for the first time ever. Very enjoyable!

And look at all the episodes we’ve done!

…something about pints and cycling and liking cycling. Does any of this resonate with anyone?
