open.substack.com/pub/cycloben... I have very mixed feelings after this Opening Weekend. And I maintain and want to clarify that this piece will probably be a bit of an overreaction, but I definitely wanted to get this off my chest. #KBK25

Cycling has changed this weekend. Don't know if for the worse or better, but opening weekend has one very huge conclusion regarding tactics. Writing a piece on it, stay tuned.

At the moment when the sun's rays begin to shine for the first time, when the spring frost is replaced by the blooming of flowers, the forests of Belgium and France are filled with the voices of the fans.

A bit pissed off that Ryanair just out of nowhere, changed the time of my flight back home - but this means I'll have more time to explore Italy...

My Omloop preview (because it seems like everyone is writing one): - there will be a lot of cobble - there won't be much wind - at least 35 riders can win - personal fave: Oier Lazkano More detailed analysis on @bazardacycling.bsky.social @joemorganxc.bsky.social @tratnikstan.bsky.social #OHN25

No better feelings than going to vote on Sunday morning and then having a coffee with your family - it's a community event for us and I wouldn't trade it for anything

Has there ever been a case where the first two days of a Grand Tour ended in the same spot? I feel the same as for 2025: a huge huge missed chance. This time, it's the lack of creativity that bothers me. #TDF2026

open.substack.com/pub/cycloben... Last Power Rankings update before the classics season :)

submitted 6 days ago • 1 comment

the 4 'no votes' came from Germany (a rebel from CDU), Spain (a rebel from Partido Popular) and two Slovakian politicians (both from SMER, Fico's party). Just to clarify and name things as they are.

This looked pretty convincing from Tadej. Both the attack and the solo afterwards. A teeny bit different than in 2024, I feel like he went back to his roots with using core strength more #UAETour

It is as close as we can get to a literally perfect cycling-following day.
