I was hoping to see one extra stage added again this year, to have a slightly longer grand tour again.
The race will mostly be concentrated in one corner of the country.
#cycling #LaVueltaFemenina
In a peloton without dominant sprinter & sprint trains, we get very unpredictable results every day.
The strong break before by Hoole confirms again the high form by Decathlon. Stuyven with a promising result ahead of his classics for Quickstep.

📉Startlist Quality
📊 Based on ProCyclingStats
We see an overall decline of the startlis quality for both races.
1200 wasn't an uncommon number for both races in the 2000s & 2010s, but through the 2020s we see a trend downwards.

1-2-3-4-9-10 for UAE today.
Almost half of their squad is 25 years old or younger, they have barely riders over 30, and still a talent packed devo team.
Don't be suprised to see UAE dominating in women's cycling too in the future. They have a stockpile full of talents.
#cycling
Luke Lamperti was the best possible transfer that EF could make for the future.
This rider has so much potential for classics and small bunch sprints.
Like I wrote earlier, it's hard to understand why Quickstep let him go exactly after focusing on the classics again
#ParisNice #cycling
📢 On this International Women's Day, it's a great opportunity to raise attention for many talented women that can't live from our beautiful sport yet.
A call to all shareholders in the sport, to make all the strong women in our sport shine in an even brighter way 💪✨

Decathlon already wanted to reward Seixas with a better (and longer) contract, but the rider didn't sign it
His contract expires in 2027, and his manager has talked to UAE, who's interested to sign him when his contract expires.
Extending would make it more difficult

1️⃣st race
1️⃣st victory 🏆
For those who doubted before, Tadej Pogacar came really strong out of his Winter break again.
He'll do all 4 Spring monuments, so the opposition knows already that they will have to be at their best again to win one of them against him
#StradeBianche #cycling
I'm delighted that we saw so few crashes today.
Despite that roads were a lot worse and more narrow than in last week's Omloop, we didn't lose riders due to crashes today.
Let's hope we will see almost no crashes in the coming classics too, for a sportive outcome
#StradeBianche #cycling
Niewiadoma was again so close to the victory, but finishing it off is so difficult for her.
#cycling
Demi Vollering also dreams to stay in 🇨🇭 Switzerland after her career.
She enjoys life with a lot of nature nearby and would like to have a little farm in the mountains.
It's something different from the urban Monaco atmosphere that many riders choose for.

It's sometimes surprising why not more sponsors use women's cycling to promote their brand
For just 10 % costs of a major men's team,you get millions of viewers. In some races the viewership is only 20% lower than the men's race
10 % of the cost, 80 % of the customers

I would rather see Red Bull sponsoring a smaller WWT team like Liv or Human Powered Health instead of sponsoring a team is already very strong.
It would be good for women's cycling if the 5 Super teams would be challenged more.

I remember the same articles about Romain Bardet, Thibaut Pinot, Nairo Quintana, Remco Evenepoel,...
None of them has won the Tour de France (yet).
Give riders time, and we will see in the end what their capabilities were.

With so much talent like Bäckstedt, Mason, Ferguson, Wolff, Crees,... It was about time that the World Cup finally returned to the UK.

Powerful sprint by Jordi Meeus, after already finishing 7th & 10th in the weekend.
Very strong effort by Hagenes too, who was only caught in the very end.
Rex finishes 2nd, a month after his impactful crash in the AlUla Tour.
#cycling #LeSamyn
Tamara Dronova is another noticeable rider who didn't get a contract for this year.
She has been In at least the top 100 of the UCI ranking for 4 years in a row but didn't sign with a team this year.
She never rode for another team than Roland before.
