As Spaniards in Monaco predicted before the race even started....

What's been most striking about Mas has been his and Spain's transformation. He's a new rider and a new man, thriving in his newfound status as a loved leader. And his countrymen and women are, for the first time, fully supporting him. History beckons.

The CV-6765, 400m from Simat de la Valldinga, a charming, medieval village better known for being the wettest place in the otherwise sunny and dry Valencia region. From now on, it'll be known as the place where Tadej Pogačar, the cycling GOAT, crashed out of the Vuelta a España. Blood marks remain.

Good luck to Tadej Pogačar getting out of the press room

Marie-Odile Amaury, owner of ASO and the Tour de France, made a rare visit to the race this morning. She visited almost all of the team owners/managers in the paddock. Here she is with Ivan Glasenberg, the billionaire who is working hard to get the Amaury family to share some of their revenue.

Time for another lap around France (and a bit of Spain). Fifth consecutive year doing the entire thing for Cycling Weekly's website and magazine (lots of good features coming up). Will also be penning pieces for The Observer and the odd piece for The Athletic.

It's been a tumultuous week at Visma and Lidl-Trek Revealed: - Luca Guercilena & Andy Schleck had fallen out - Guercilena had been expecting to be moved on all spring - team-wide dismay at managerial changes and aggressive push towards a corporate, German model www.nytimes.com/athletic/733...

Interesting first day at the ITA Clean Sport in Action conference, where I'm working for The Athletic. Some fascinating insight into the flaws of the whereabouts system and the future of blood sampling. A few articles to come in the coming period.

UCI pres. David Lappartient told @matildaprice.bsky.social in Sept that the reason Russia was suspended from competition and not Israel was because Russia started a war during the Olympic truce. So if the IOC were to apply their rules consistently, the US and Israel will now be sanctioned.

Brilliant additional reporting from Ciclo21 on 'Caso Martí-Soler': www.ciclo21.com/marc-y-jaume... Worth pointing out that Ciclo21 note that the Spanish police have photos of the three together. Marc Soler told me repeatedly such photos don't exist. Many questions still to answer.

The best website in cycling – www.cyclingcols.com – has had an update and a redesign and it's absolutely terrible for staving off procrastination. Also very motivating to sort my shit out and climb way more cols this year.

Cycling Weekly's review of the year issue is excellent reading. We should cherish and support the print magazines that we still have. Proud to have contributed to this issue. My favourite article is the inside (and comical) story of the Vuelta podium. Buy here: www.magazine.co.uk/magazines/cy...

All about Tadej Pogačar today. Maybe I'll be proven wrong (and I hope so) but I have a growing sense that he'll never ride the Vuelta a España again. I *know* he must do so to complete the Grand Tour set, but the vibe I've been picking up for quite a while is that he's totally done with stage racing

Day three of team media days and no team will rival Movistar's dedication to a bizarre but beautiful opening act. The rest of the event? Quite chaotic. I do hope Cian Uijtdebroeks is aware that Movistar isn't like Visma and Bora.

Good day at Red Bull-Bora-hansgrohe's 2026 launch. Primoz Roglič insisting he's got no plans to retire at the end of the season, while Remco Evenepoel and Florian Lipowitz promise they can work together at the Tour. Hmm, not so sure on the last point.

Iniesta's cycling idol was Miguel Indurain. As a child, he grew up watching mountain stages of the Giro, Tour and Vuelta with his grandfather. His favourite type of stage is a mountain time trial. Unfortunately for the World Cup winner, NSN will be a sprinter's team.

Start of my Fourth (or first?) Grand Tour: team media days. In Barcelona today for the launch of NSN, formerly Israel-Premier Tech. Will we get clarification on Sylvan Adams's role? What about Derek Gee? Will Biniam Girmay thrive here? Symbolic it's in Barcelona, too, with TdF 2026 starting here.

I wrote this for Cycling Weekly in February. A lot has happened since then. But this paragraph remains pertinent. It *is* the duty and responsibility of sport to take action against heinous crimes. That's part of the Olympic Charter Lappartient talks about. www.cyclingweekly.com/news/one-rul...

Chrissy Marshall-Bell @cmbreports.bsky.social · 16/09/2025

Spanish Government replies to the UCI's statement, pointing out that the UN has just declared Israel's actions in Gaza a genocide. Brutal final words: "Peace without justice is peace in the graveyard." Lappartient is out of his depth. He is not protecting cycling with his actions and words.

I spent stage 16 of the Tour de France to Mont Ventoux in the publicity caravan. And it was every bit as absurd, bizarre and perplexing as I wanted it to be. What a day! www.cyclingweekly.com/racing/we-ha...

Very revealing words from UAE manager Matxin at the end of today's stage. Pogačar is playing the long game, something he's never done before. www.cyclingweekly.com/racing/its-t...

Has Primoz Roglič ever been so raw, authentic, engaging and honest? Sure, he's admitted defeat in his Tour de France dream, but this was Roglič like we've never heard him before. www.cyclingweekly.com/racing/this-...

People talking about the 2018 Giro d'Italia and Simon Yates's redemption being complete. Yeah, sure, of course. But will someone please remember when I had to write a 2,000w interview with him pre-Giro 2020 and his only standout quote was how much he liked pizza. So revealing it made the front cover

Just rode the finishing loop of Giro stage one in Tirana. Very green, beautiful, forested, with the city sitting in the valley bowl - visually reminded me of Bilbao. The climb's too hard for the sprinters, but too easy for GC lot. My bet: Pidcock.

I'm in Gent for the next seven days for Flanders before going to France for Roubaix. Looking for swimming pools and gyms to use. Good to know that the oldest swimming pool in Belgium (so they claim) has the all important doping room. 🙃 That should fix my broken leg!

It was enthralling, out-your-seat, breathless, nail-biting, breakneck stuff. Mauro Gianetti said it was “an incredible show for cycling”. Mauro, it was an incredible show for *sport*, not only cycling. A gladiatorial head-to-head, impossible to call, The Conqueror trying to conquer the unconquerable

When the Dutch realised in late Jan that Visma might not have any Dutch riders at this year's Tour de France, it caused uproar. Do they have a point? Or is a team's flag really not all that important?

Including my interview with Greg LeMond, recipient of the Lifetime Achievement Award. "I do believe I played a big role in changing the old, traditional part of cycling and bringing it into the modern era," he said. He also opened to me up on the effect of the infamous shooting accident in '87.

Greg LeMond reveals how being accidentally shot by his brother-in-law impacted his life for a long period.
