Kinda just reached a point where I didn't want to dedicate effort to the social media part after 5+ years - everything's very much on the website still though!

Mathew Mitchell @procyclinguk.com · 26/03/2026

I'm around and can be tagged with questions and things but very much chucking stuff directly on the website and a certain corner of Discord Sort of made a well-being decision on the social media usage

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

Lorena Wiebes wins her 5th stage of the 2025 Simac Ladies Tour, in part due to a generous leadout from Visma Lease a Bike #SLT2025

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

Mathew Mitchell @procyclinguk.com · 03/09/2025

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... #SLT2025

Mathew Mitchell @procyclinguk.com · 02/09/2025

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

Mathew Mitchell @procyclinguk.com · 28/08/2025

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 (skipping on the original stream here) #KBE2025

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

0131

Mathew Mitchell @procyclinguk.com · 19/08/2025

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

Mathew Mitchell @procyclinguk.com · 16/08/2025

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

GDPR in Switzerland and Rwanda?

Mathew Mitchell @procyclinguk.com · 16/08/2025

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

220

Mathew Mitchell @procyclinguk.com · 16/08/2025

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

230

Mathew Mitchell @procyclinguk.com · 16/08/2025

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

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

Mathew Mitchell @procyclinguk.com · 13/08/2025

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

Mathew Mitchell @procyclinguk.com · 13/08/2025

And that's with tragically only one sausage!

Mathew Mitchell @procyclinguk.com · 12/08/2025

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

Mathew Mitchell @procyclinguk.com · 12/08/2025

The opening stage of the 2025 Tour de Pologne Women was won by Chiara Consonni - her first win of the 2025 season! #TdPW2025

Keep an eye out for when you go past West Mids Safari Park to see some things you don't normally see on a train journey!

Pauline Ferrand-Prévot seals the 2025 Tour de France Femmes with another stage win in Châtel She becomes the first rider in Bernard Hinault in 1981 to win Paris Roubaix and the Tour de France in the same season - Octave Lapize (1910) & Louis Trousselier (1905) the only others!

Mathew Mitchell @procyclinguk.com · 02/08/2025

It's kinda mad when you see it all in person, the day to day effort clearly has a huge effect and pain on her still

000

Mathew Mitchell @procyclinguk.com · 02/08/2025

She talked of being empty at Suisse, so you can argue overtraining and stuff like that is in play for sure I'm not sure I see her keeping up with PFP today as she was cruising and casual but the gap wouldn't be that big if she was 100%

250

Mathew Mitchell @procyclinguk.com · 02/08/2025

Think there was a bit about developing a bike for her as a Pinarello special - on CX as well - but the Koppenberg made that unfun very quickly

010

Mathew Mitchell @procyclinguk.com · 02/08/2025

The whole year has almost been building up today and for whatever reason, they've ended up properly outclassed at the key moment Maybe the crash, maybe other things but it's not what would've been expected!

Mathew Mitchell @procyclinguk.com · 02/08/2025

More likely to tell someone to do one at the moment 😅

Mathew Mitchell @procyclinguk.com · 02/08/2025

Chloe Dygert with the mental maths to sneak home around 10-11 seconds before the OTL kicks in - she'll be able to race tomorrow's final Tour de France Femmes stage Susanne Andersen is the only OTL today, the Norwegian was dropped fairly early on the first climb today

Mathew Mitchell @procyclinguk.com · 02/08/2025

They had so many opportunities to either be early adopters, to the point where Valcar were basically giving up a free WWT entry, same with TIBCO and now it's too late to just be able to waltz in and claim the glory!

Mathew Mitchell @procyclinguk.com · 02/08/2025

Remember when Pauline Ferrand-Prévot rode for Ineos and they still didn't make a proper women's team? Add it to the list of near-misses in this era...

Mathew Mitchell @procyclinguk.com · 02/08/2025

Pauline Ferrand-Prévot looks set to be the first 🇫🇷 winner of the Tour de France Femmes since either Catherine Marsal in 1990 (ASO-era) or Jeannie Longo in 1989 (Tour de France-era) Still a day to go but this performance is an absolute smashing of last year's podium finishers

Mathew Mitchell @procyclinguk.com · 02/08/2025

Had it recently - Baloise? - where they'd lined up the finish shot and some guy was stood absolutely perfectly in the way for all but the end of the sprint
