Upgraded to 1-2-3-4-5-6!

A casual 1-2-3-4-5 result (and 7th) from VolkerWessels at the Mirabelle Classic, including a first pro win for Quinty Schoens!

At least make it difficult - today's one where someone needs to get a radio call to the lead out to pull off the front and then Wiebes is in the wind from far out

Now she may still win but at least you gave yourself a chance

Ellen van Dijk retires from cycling today with:
3x World Champs TT
5x Euro Champs (4 TT + 1 Road)
5x National Champs TT
Vuelta (2018)
Flanders (2014)
5x Healthy Ageing Tour GC
2x Dwars Door Vlaanderen
1x Giro Donne stage
+ Simac, Borsele, Hageland & many more

Lorena Wiebes wins her 5th stage of the 2025 Simac Ladies Tour, in part due to a generous leadout from Visma Lease a Bike

Lorena Wiebes wins Stage 3 of the 2025 Simac Ladies Tour

Echelons decided the day, with all the major teams represented in an early split. The lead group ended up with a gap of over 7 minutes

#SLT2025

The TT stage the only one with some jeopardy this week, and even then...

Here we go - a better version of the Stage 2 Simac Ladies Tour sprint finish!

Lorena Wiebes wins Stage 2 of the 2025 Simac Ladies Tour - a day of crosswinds and splits doesn't dislodge the big favourite at the crucial moments

Absolutely horrible coverage of the sprint with the pause in the video coming through live...

Lorena Wiebes wins the opening stage of the 2025 Simac Ladies Tour!

The predicted outcome but Lidl-Trek rolled the dice today with rolling attacks to thin out the SD Worx train successfully but she's still too strong

#SLT2025

Comfortable win for Elisa Longo Borghini at Kreizh Breizh Elites this year - UAE Team ADQ bossed the race, working over Margaux Vigie in the process

#KBE2025

Maybe Zabel though!

Lorena Wiebes wins the 2025 edition of GP Lucien van Impe - it's the 17th win of the season for her

Quinty Schoens did the big solo break of the day, but was caught with plenty of time to go. From there, SD Worx managed the effort and attacks

#GPLucienvanImpe

She's been back for a few races like Portugal + Baloise, but still a mighty disruption right at the serious time of the year!

Martina Alzini wins the 2025 Egmont Cycling Race!

Great effort from Sigrid Ytterhus Haugset today - only caught in the final metres. She missed 2 months of the season in fracturing her hip at Roubaix

#EgmontCyclingRace

Some teams chose to do over other teams who need the points

Won't be a WorldTour race by the end of the season when they do the reset of races that didn't have enough riders

More so where the UCI is based and any Worlds organisation holding company than the races themselves

GDPR in Switzerland and Rwanda?

Teams fit their own timing chips, it's not exactly complicated stuff to attach and run - especially as the kit will be coming from Swiss Timing in both cases. Would be the same process with the basic tracking at the last Worlds too.

Not sure why individual vs full but Romandie is the obvious race

All of them, but more some of the teams, have forgotten that this is being tested because a rider died and have turned it into other things than rider safety

Trouble is, bosses like Plugge made the conversation/justification about commercialisation (maybe not publicly) & Vaughters made it about picking a 'victim' rider

There's a few things that can all be at play and those, liability, Velon, OneCycling & apparently a power struggle over SafeR are in

Feels so long since Valcar!

Teniel Campbell is BACK

Chiara Consonni wins the 3rd & final stage of the 2025 Tour de Pologne Women! She also wins the GC too!

Heartbreak for Anne Knijnenburg, who attacked with 69km to go and was caught in the final 500 metres or so by the bunch

#TdPW2025

Linda Zanetti takes the win on Stage 2 of the 2025 Tour de Pologne Women - the cobbled finish kept the speeds down and made it a real power effort to get to the line!

Marie Le Net strong with 2nd here as well, ahead of Bertizzolo

#TdPW2025

And that's with tragically only one sausage!

I didn't like the Cat 4 crash fests on little circuits and stopped, let alone what the good guys are actually doing - some people can flick the imminent danger switch off and plenty of us can't

The opening stage of the 2025 Tour de Pologne Women was won by Chiara Consonni - her first win of the 2025 season!
