For those who say that we have too many races on the calendar.

Unfortunately the Tour of Norway is another beautiful race that disappears from the calendar, and that in the year that 🇳🇴 Norway will have a World Tour team for the first time.

Young, fast, victorious. That are 3 words to shortly describe Tobias Müller

The young German sprinter proved his potential at the continental level this year and will move up to the ProTeam level in 2026

My analysis on why symbolic sanctions don't stop wars 👇🏻

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.

Tsige Kahsay showed her potential this year, as one of the biggest talents in her age group.

The young 🇪🇹 Ethiopian impressed at the Worlds & Tour de l'Avenir and got rewarded with a contract at Canyon//SRAM, next season.

Shirin van Anrooij is going to combine road cycling more with cyclocross now and in the coming years.

The Winter discipline helps to improve her accelerations for the road races. She will ride around 15 races now and in the coming seasons.

🚴🏻‍♀️ Present at the World Cup on Sunday
🔸 UCI Men's top 10 : 5
🔸 UCI Women's top 10 : 4

A few years ago, riders used to interrupt their training camps to come back in the weekend to do even smaller races.

Nowadays, it all doesn't seem to matter anymore.

t's not decided yet if Wout van Aert will ride the CX Worlds or not. His Head of Performance indicated that it's not part of the plans for now, but that a decision will be taken later.

So you can take from it, that it will depend on his results in the coming weeks.

🤶🏻 Christmas Cyclocross is one of the few moments left where you can spot the big stars from the road during the off season

It would also be nice to see more prestigious track events again during Winter too

Ganna, Balsamo, Kopecky,... during a week of track cycling in December

Lidl-Trek will switch to a 🇩🇪 German license next season.

That makes that EF will remain the only 🇺🇸 American team in the World Tour.

After having T-Mobile, Gerolsteiner and Milram in the 2000s, Germany becomes a major financial player in cycling again today.

Red Bull-Bora has many leaders to satisfy next season. Lidl would like to sign a famous German leader for 2027, so it will be important to keep Lipowitz satisfied if they want to extend him. Sending Evenepoel to the Giro could be an option, but the rider himself is not keen on it

Not a bad squad for Caja Rural, next season.

2025 also was already decent for this team. Let's see what they can do next year.

Why the sanctions in cycling hurted 🇷🇺 Russia so little, and why it even had a opposite impact instead?

In this article, you read why discrimination is a bad weapon for peace and how it happened differently in similar cases 👇📖

Wout van Aert took part in a popular TV quiz yesterday in his home country.

Unfortunately, he had to leave the quiz after one episode. He actually lost against the local cycling commentator Ruben Van Gucht in the deciding final.

Did you know that former grand tour winner Denis Menchov has two sons in cycling as well?

His sons Ivan (22) and Alexandr (20) both became cyclists. They are only racing in their native 🇷🇺 Russia for now.

Interesting transfer for both parties.

I believe that she is a rider with still potential to grow further. Lotte Kopecky will focus mostly on the classics again, what makes that Cavallar can step up to take a free role in the mountains in a bigger team now.

Nys winning in a 🇧🇪 Belgian champion's jersey

It's kind of bringing back nostalgia. It's kind of a special story in cycling. Father & son winning World Cups.

Only the Van der Poels managed to do the same.

Sharing passion in the family.

It's concerning how nowadays, international law became just a piece of paper once again

Copy-paste 1938, letting 🇺🇦 Ukrainians pay the prize for it today & hope that you can keep sleeping well in your pretty house

Don't be suprised when the Baltics fall too then 🇱🇹🇱🇻🇪🇪
