Vuelta a Castilla y León winner Haimar Etxeberria leaving Kern Pharma for Red Bull www.marca.com/ciclismo/202... (🇪🇸). A lot of transfer deals being done during the off-season

Nice to see Van der Haar apply the same approach as his cross races to his whole cross season this year; I was worried initially we wouldn’t see him much after the first few races bc he understandably said he struggled to motivate (hence retirement), but he’s so back

I remember thinking last year Mason was a bit overhyped because British + online. Very glad to be proven wrong and see him bounce back after just an off-year. Kaman 👀🔥

Alexander Kristoff said that he has retired now having never broken a bone during his career. For a sprinter, that is astonishing.

Lucinda Brand has now reached 50 consecutive podium finishes on the CX bike. By my calculations, the pro women's record belongs to Marianne Vos (obvs), at just 51, only two more podiums and Brand tops the GOAT. (Van der Poel? 66. Brand could do it outright this season...)

Premier Tech to Alpecin is such a win-win deal I hope their theme song is APT by Rosé and Bruno Mars, but now Alpecin’s social media person is savvy enough to do something interesting haha

TotalEnergies team to ride Cube bikes for next season, the German brand had been with Intermarché. First pic of a team bike for 2026?

Paco Mancebo signs with a Chinese continental team meaning he'll still be a pro when he turns 50 next season www.marca.com/ciclismo/202... (🇪🇸)

That’s a lot of questions

Every day I cry about the low editing standards of pretty much all cycling media 🫠 even the most legit sites fairly frequently have typos

Men’s CX race was an absolute banger again! Now if only literally every single top woman besides Brand could stop being so injured and ill 😭

Renault - sponsors of a cycling team and an F1 team - took cycling into the F1 era more then 40 years ago, testing bikes in the company's wind tunnel. Cycling hacks can't remember nothing.

Concept: ultra cyclocross where you keep riding laps for hours until only one rider is left with their sanity

Rembe rad-net will be creating a women's Continental team. It will run alongside their existing men's team and will have similar goals: to promote German talent both on the road and on the track. Further infos about the name and roster in the coming days. 📸 Rembe press release

Congratulations on winning the KOM classification (and some really cool prizes) at the Saitama Criterium, Valentin Paret-Peintre 🙌

And people claim he can’t perform in one-day races! 😤

I will never not love a rider crossing the line crying of happiness

Oh whoops I fell back asleep assuming the women’s title would be a walkover for Brand 😅

If anyone else wants to stare at U23 CX timings prod.chronorace.be/angular/resu...

TTT renaissance year?

Tangentially, Gregoire had an underratedly great year. 6 wins all against legit competition even in the .Pro majority, made some elite selections in the punchy TdF stages, top 10s in 2/3 Ardennes (& top 10 selection after Redoute before LBL regrouped). Plus top tier navigational skills.

Bizarre statistic considering his reputation & crash history: Wilco Kelderman has the 2nd-most race days since his most recent DNF, 178 since March 2023 It helps that he crashed and broke his collarbone in the last kilometer of the last 2024 Paris-Nice stage so still finished But nonetheless!

I like most of EF’s young transfers, but I don’t know why they’re signing Mattia Agostinacchio to the WT team rather than their devo team. He’s an amazing talent with potential for sure, but he’s not a superstar/his results don’t scream WT-ready yet to me.

wtf kind of person puts their hat on one table of two kinda close to each other then yells at the person who sits down at the other table?

“a rider who had found a contract elsewhere but his move has been blocked even though his place on the final 30-man roster of the merged team is not certain” That’s so fucked 🙃 and Belgian law is overriding UCI regs, so the team doesn’t have to decide anything 100% until December 31 apparently

Feels like I’ve been editing for days (which is true 😂) but finally got my shots of Rapencross Lokeren online 😅 More photos at flic.kr/s/aHBqjCzHJ6

Ineos You know those ones who sponsor a team Yup #SponsorsInRealLife #SportsWashing

From the 'what we want is more Ben Healys' article, UAE are not too pleased 🥂 It's on @escapecollective.bsky.social

I went down a minor rabbit hole reading about Saint Gleb en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boris_a...

Excellent coup from UAE

Lets fucking gooooooo 💥💥💥💥

Looking to speak to a cyclist who has been affected by long Covid (for a Cycling Weekly piece). If that's you, please get in touch 🙏

Is is expected that Puck Pieterse and Tibor Del Grosso return to cyclocross in Namur www.cyclingonline.nl/artikel/2689...

I have no idea if @zoeface44.bsky.social watches baseball, but I was very mad about the baseball last night, and then dreamed that Will was posting very mad about it too and we ranted together

It’s kinda ominous up close… #Rapencross
