It took me 2 months to realise this but I think I met Jasper Philipsen's dog at the airport in Tenerife in December. 😅

false starts in short-track speedskating are absolutely heartbreaking 💔

Incredible victory by Antonio Tiberi. 💪 #UAETour Looked solid in the last few weeks, but winning like this on Jebel Mobrah is one of the more prestigious victories of his career. 👏 Isaac del Toro finishes second place, Almeida-style. 😂

Let's hope there's another landslide on Jebel Jais next year, because Jebel Mobrah is far more fun to watch. Not even close. #UAETour

What do you expect on Jebel Mobrah tomorrow? #UAETour

It's completely unfair that every rider is allowed to choose their starting slot today, except for Isaac del Toro. 🤷‍♂️ He's forced to ride in the worst wind conditions while Remco was allowed to choose the first optimal time slot.

Back in 2024, the UCI announced that a working group would be rapidly set up to discuss a potential salary cap for the 2026-2028 cycling seasons. We're in 2026, and I haven't heard anything more about this. 😂

It's so funny when ex-pro cyclists and traditionalists enter this nihillistic view over dangerous deviations being punished. They pretend the application of the deviation rule is ruining sprint stages, while in the large majority of sprint stages, sprinters manage to sprint according to the rules.

Fun fact: Jan Christen has received 0 yellow cards by the UCI this month.

Couldn't tell from the frontal view but the helicopter shows clearly that Jan Christen deviates Maxim van Gils into the barrier. #ClasicaJaen

The kits of Pinarello-Q36.5 & Bahrain-Victorious look exactly the same from the helicopter view, so they should both be forced to change their kit to lime green and neon pink.

BOOM! Isaac del Toro wins Stage 1 of #UAETour. 💥 Nearly caught by Cees Bol (?) on the line. 🤏 Let's hope Jonathan Milan is fairly OK after the crash.

This has to be the only cycling race where us mere mortals can follow the professional peloton for a few minutes. 😅 #UAETour

Just caught up with #SetmanaCiclista. ⏯️ Exactly the start of the season you want to see from Demi Vollering: dropping everyone on Stage 1, and outsprinting Lippert on Stage 4. Great to see Cat Ferguson continue winning too. ✅

It's important to highlight the outstanding start to the season by Van Rysel-Roubaix: Joppe Heremans winning Stage 4 of Étoile de Bessèges & Arnaud Tendon winning Stage 1 of Tour de la Provence. Absolute dream scenario for the team. ✅

Paris-Roubaix being renamed to Paris-Roubaix Hauts-de-France. 😂 Literally no one except ASO is going to call it that.

As I mentioned in today's Global Peloton, this statement should be no surprise. Eritrea is one of only two African nations not to recognise the state of Palestine due to close diplomatic ties with Israel. Girmay was happy to join this team without a rebrand.

I saw a lot of people discussing Blikra's deviation into Mihkels, but the most glaring deviation was from Aniolkowski, and it's inexplainable that he was not penalised. #TourOfOman

It's a real shame that the Eurostar is basically unreasonably expensive unless you buy tickets months in advance. I'd much rather take the train than fly to/from Belgium but I would quite literally pay double the price with Eurostar. 🙈

Instead of watching Pro Cycling on Discovery+ for 500 USD/year, people in the UK can now watch Pro Cycling on HBO Max for 500 USD/year. Absolute dog-shit company. www.cyclingweekly.com/news/cycling-…

They saw Austin Butler play Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen in Dune 2 and thought "that's the sociopath we're looking for in Lance Armstrong".

It's impossible to be comfortable with "ID verification for social media" when the companies handling your sensitive data, continuously fail to keep your data private and safe. Last year, an age verification firm working with Discord was hacked, exposing 70,000 ID photos of Discord users.
