What's the actual story behind Merckx' non-participation at the Tour de France 1973? I've read so many different angles, from a focus on the Vuelta-Giro double, to being pressured by ASO not to ride the race due to safety concerns... Feed me the actual truth. ๐ฌ

Stunning victory by Tobias Lund Andresen at

In 2023, a minimum salary was introduced for Spanish Continental teams in Women's Cycling. I predicted it would cause many female Spanish Contintental teams to "downgrade" to amateur team status, as they do not have the necessary funds. In 2026, there are 0 female Spanish Continental teams left.

Always so funny to see a sprint with a fully relaxed peloton at 2 KMs from the finish, when Tour de France sprints have riders fighting each other verbally at a roundabout with 70 KMs left. ๐

No wonder Picnic-PostNL happily agreed to a buy-out for Oscar Onley. It's not like they had much choice with a 19.5 million EUR operating loss in the last 3 years combined. ๐ ๐

Today I learned that in 2007, ASO banned Unibet's ProTour team from competing in their races, due to a conflict with the French gambling laws. Those laws imposed a state monopoly on gambling sponsors, only allowing French ones, banning foreign ones.

The most fascinating aspect of Caja Rural's presence at the Tour de France will be Gaviria launching at 600 meters from the finish, every single sprint.

So Fabrizio Guidi of UAE Team Emirates received a 7-day suspension after getting a second yellow card on Stage 5 of the

What triggers me most about Jan Christen's race yesterday was his entitled behaviour to other riders. Carelessly ripping his bike off a rider, nearly hitting another rider with it, indirectly throwing someone else's bike into the floor...

Text-book victory by Jonathan Milan at

Cycling influencers need to respect riders. If you want to record a snippet with them, or follow their wheel to see how fast they're going, ask them if they're OK with it. Respect their decision. Additionally, if they're clearly in a training session, let them cook without interruption.
