Another cracking stage at the Tour de Suisse, which has effectively been a handicap race since day one. Almeida is clawed his way back into the contest, but I'd love to see Kévin Vauquelin win the GC now. Such a gutsy performance today

I'll be interested to hear why Aleksandr Vlasov went over the San Bernardino pass first, taking the #rideforGino prize, ahead of Pello Bilbao. There was a discussion between the two riders approaching the summit

Tour de France director Christian Prudhomme spent his Saturday cleaning up litter at the Peyragudes ski station in the Pyrenees alongside 150 volunteers. The resort will be the finish point of a mountain time trial next month www.ladepeche.fr/2025/06/15/i...

There’s a good reason why Brits don’t know the Pyrenees all that well and this story underlines it. There are nine holidays in the Alps and none in the Pyrenees www.theguardian.com/travel/2025/...

Today's 162km Tour de Suisse Women's stage looked like it might be a slog for riders and viewers. I'm sure it was for the riders, but it made for great viewing with all kinds going on from start to finish. Chapeau to all involved, including the organisers for plotting it out

This is well worth a read. I had a pulmonary embolism in 2017 caused by a clot in my calf, which swelled hugely. I was short of breath cycling and running, went to the doctor and she, thankfully, realised what was happening. I spent the next four days in the local cardiac unit

The Giro was superb, particularly the last week, but I’m bemused by the “Pogi is boring” narrative that’s been woven into it. Bike racing’s never been as good in the 40 years I’ve been watching it and he’s primarily responsible

Tomorrow the Giro climbs the legendary colle delle finestre then finishes in Sestrière But one can get to Sestrière from Finestre on gravel via 10 passes all higher than the high Finestre. Amazing. Recommended. Details - www.cycling-challenge.com/strada-della...

Del Toro now leads Carapaz by 41 seconds and Yates by 51. Will that be enough on the two long mountain stages on Fri/Sat?

Gutted for Romain Bardet, but that was a stunning performance by Isaac Del Toro given his struggles yesterday. Brilliant viewing
