It takes a special kind of person to go to the African continent and show support for someone who was OK with racist and slavery views. The Rwandian children watching is so ironic.

I love the way UAE Team Emirates just snuck out the news that Tadej Pogačar is going to ride @parisroubaix.bsky.social by adding it to the bottom of a press release about @gentwevelgem.bsky.social. Just to make sure people actually read these things! 😅

Assuming this group stays clear, can anybody here beat Évita Muzic up Via Santa Caterina? Especially as she’s been “waiting for Demi” for the last 30km… #StradeBianche

Kind of appropriate that on #InternationalWomensDay the first 10 minutes of the women’s #StradeBianche coverage is dedicated to the men’s race favourite 🫠 #UCIWWT

Fantastic victory for Fem, but I’m gutted for Lucinda Brand. She’s ridden everything to win this season, chasing all three of the classifications when many of her rivals were training in the sunshine. She’s the rider of the season, even if she doesn’t take the biggest prize. #Cyclocross #Lievin2025

“The UCI bans repeated inhalation of carbon monoxide…” Does this mean an end to motor pacing and Derny races? 🚗🚴♂️🛵🚴♂️
