The Women U23 race is more difficult than the women's elite race. Even if you want to start from Ljubljana, there is still space for an extra climb. Now, it has only the lenght of a standard 1.1 one day race. #cycling #EuroRoad26

The 🇪🇺 Euros will go to the 🇳🇱 Netherlands in 2028. The country struggles to still hold regular cycling races in the past 10 years due to a lack of police forces. But since then, the country has organized tons of grand tour starts and international championships... #cycling

The idea of the UCI to reduce the grand tours to 16 days is harmful to our sport. It weakens a strong concept, reduces the amount of team sponsor visibility and goes into the opposite direction that almost all other major sports take. Save grand tour racing. #cycling

🇪🇷 Amanuel Ghebreigzabhier & Natnael Tesfatsion couldn't take part at the 🌈 Worlds due to visa issues It's crazy how this is still an issue for sport athletes today. Millions of migrants enter & stay illegally for years,while athletes can't have a legal visa for a week #cycling

I believe that moving the 🇦🇺 Tour Down Under to October would create a great end of the season The top riders could combine it with a holiday trip afterwards and the weather would be more comfortable for racing. A great World Tour final #cycling #TourDownUnder

1⃣5⃣ riders from Flanders-Baloise still didn't find a team for next season yet. The end of Kern Pharma and the uncertainty around Total Energies could mean that even more riders will lose their contract. The peloton might become a lot smaller again in 2027. #cycling

A transfer that was already known for months but that only gets confirmed today. What if teams would just confirm all their ✍️ signed transfers at once before September? That would remove all speculation and would make clear who's still free on the market. #cycling

According to multiple sources, 🇧🇪 Belgium had 2⃣ of the top favourites, but none of them delivered It was the last realistic possibility for Van Aert, and also for Evenepoel this was a great opportunity without Pogacar at the start. The domestiques were invisible too. #cycling

I have rarely seen such a tactically bad rider like Kasia Niewiadoma. Time after time she does stupid things when she can win races. At the age of 32 you would expect smarter behaviour. #cycling #Montreal2026

Poor attitude by the 🇫🇷 French team. With multiple riders in the chasing group but they don't push They settle for 🥈 despite a still manageable gap. Poor attitude. #cycling #Montreal2026

This is the longest Worldchampionship for women ever. I'm curious what the impact will be. Maybe it can be something to keep for the future Worlds & Sanremo too. The peloton is ready for the next step. #cycling #Montreal2026

How many countries or riders have a chance to win here? Major countries like 🇮🇹🇳🇱🇳🇴🇪🇸 have almost no reason to start here. Just like only a few countries have a realistic chance to win on the pan flat parcours in the years after. The best 🌈 parcours is varied. #cycling #Montreal2026

Another nice step forward for women's cycling. In the 🇳🇱 Netherlands more people watched the women's time trial, than the man's race at the Worlds 🌈 yesterday. 10 years ago, this was unthinkable, now both genders are growing towards more equal numbers. #cycling #Montreal2026

Another rider will miss a major race due to a race accident. Seff Van Kerckhove was hit by a car, this weekend. As one of the favourites, it's a big blow to him personally and his country. This will have an impact on the junior's race. #cycling #Montreal2026

The women's time trial Worlds 🌈⌚ always remind me of Chloe Dygert. In 2019, she blew everyone away despite not doing a single major race abroad before. Van der Breggen lost 1:32 on 30 km. Unfortunately that crashes played a big toll on Dygert. #cycling #Montreal2026

Sometimes I miss the time in cycling where contracts were more meaningful. Less fuss about transfers, more focus on actual racing. All these 'football managers ' just bring bad attitudes from there into our beloved sport. #cycling
