A few changes for the upcoming weekend 🔄 🇳🇱 Netherlands 🔸 Marianne Vos gets replaced by Femke de Vries due to family reasons 🇧🇪 Belgium 🔸 Tiesj Benoot gets replaced by Louis Vervaeke due to Covid #cycling #Kigali2025

5⃣th place for Alena Ivanchenko today at the U23 Worlds 🌈 A good performance again for the former top class junior. Since turning pro, she had a strong 2023 at the age of 20. But since then she has been inconsistent and sometimes rode an unusual program. I'm wondering why #cycling #Kigali2025

Phenomenal performance by Zoe Bäckstedt. By far the best today. I just have no clue why she doesn't take part in the road race. If you see how she's flying over the climbs today, she could have won a rainbow jersey there too. #cycling #Kigali2025

Interesting evolution for Pogacar An off day could explain everything. But he might also have to adjust to the exceptional circumstances. It's an extraordinary climate & height, and not everybody reacts to it in the same way. #Kigali2025 #cycling

The 🌈 Worlds in Africa. That reminds me of... #Kigali2025 #cycling

Reusser comes on top after this atypical time trial 🌈⏰ She's the best climbing time trialist and takes her first rainbow jersey. For those who weren't aware yet, today explained why Rwanda is called the country of a thousand hills. Barely long sections to recover #Kigali2025 #cycling

Grace Brown waves goodbye to her 🌈 jersey 👋 ... and she has excellent news to share ✨ She's expecting a baby 👶 Congratulations, Grace! #cycling #Kigali2025

For the first time in decades, 🌍 Africa can have a rider again on the Cyclocross Worlds in the coming years. 🇪🇹 Tofik Beshir made a promising debut against the pros and dreams of historic silverware in the future Read more about him in our interview 👇 cyclingbottle.blogspot.com/2025/09/inte...

Paul Magnier gives me Lorena Wiebes-vibes this week. #cycling #cyclingbluesky

Unfortunately, Lotte Kopecky won't be able to take part at the 🌈 Track Worlds after her crash in the Ardèche, last week. She would definitely have made her impact on the championship. Get well soon, Lotte #cycling #cyclingbluesky

🗓️ The schedule for the Worlds 🌈 🕐 Local times #cycling #Kigali2025

That's how 🇷🇼 #Rwanda treats press freedom. An experienced journalist from a major news outlet gets banned from making news reports in the country. That's how they receive the world. That's how we allow sportswashing through our sport. #cycling #Kigali2025

Such a perfect article 💯 As long as teams will remain conservative, European countries don't fix their visa policies and local structural issues don't get fixed, few Africans will be able to turn pro. They face huge challenges that don't apply to Europeans. #cycling #cyclingbluesky

Last year Grace Brown wrote history by becoming world time trial champion in her final season after already becoming Olympic champion, a few months before. Unfortunately she could enjoy her rainbow jersey only once, but she claimed her place in the hall of fame forever #cycling #cyclingbluesky

🌈 My impressions 🗨️ 🇨🇦 Wonderful location 😍 🇫🇷 Another climbers parcours 🇦🇪 Sportswashing 🇩🇰 Might be too easy, but parcours could beautiful to watch 🖼️ 🇧🇪 They could potentially use better hills than in 2021 Your thoughts? 🤔 #cycling #cyclingbluesky

The 🌈 Worlds are truly always delivering a very special atmosphere. Both as a spectator and as a viewer But I can't feel the same enthusiasm about the location this year due to the sportswashing connection to it I will probably have the same feeling about UAE 2028 #cycling #cyclingbluesky

I see less & less sense in the Lotto & Intermarché merger. Both teams will comfortable get a new license for the coming 3 years and if Girmay & Thijssen leave as expected, then the merged team will barely be stronger then current Inermarché/Lotto, apart from Barré. #cycling #cyclingbluesky

If he still improves his cobble skills a bit, Paul Magnier can become a new Kristoff/Hushovd/Boonen in the future. He already has the speed, a bit more endurance & strength and he can handle many Northern Classics & sprints. He's in the right team for it. #cycling #cyclingbluesky

🇬🇧 UK (Men) for the Worlds 🌈 🚴‍♂️ Tom Pidcock 🚴‍♂️ Fred Wright 🚴‍♂️ Oscar Onley 🚴‍♂️ Bjoern Koerdt 🚴‍♂️ James Knox 🚴‍♂️ Joseph Blackmore 🚴‍♂️ Mark Donovan 🚴‍♂️ Oliver Knight ❌ No men in the time trial Women's selections ⤵️🧵 #cycling #cyclingbluesky

Beautiful news for 🇺🇸 American cycling 😍 The Philadelphia Cycling Classic will be back in 2026! Let's hope that the worst years for American cycling are behind us now and more & more races can come back on the calendar again. #cycling #cyclingbluesky

A little reminder that 🇷🇼 Rwanda backed soldiers have killed thousands of people in 🇨🇩 Congo. They occupy the Congolese lands, kill & abuse Congolese people and sell their minerals to the rest of the world. The 🌈 Worlds are neo-colonial & military sportswashing. #cycling #cyclingbluesky

Since the start of the war in 🇺🇦 Ukraine, I gave attention to multiple riders who were impacted by the war through the years. In this thread 🧵 you can read the interviews where they telll about their experiences and about themselves as a rider. #cycling #Ukraine

Lorena Wiebes will ride one more road race this season : Binche-Chimay-Binche (7th October) Aftre that, she will head to 🇨🇱 Chili for the track Worlds 🌈 where she won 🥇 in the Scratch, last year. #cycling #cyclingbluesky

Lotte Kopecky rode her last race in the 🌈 colours. She has won monuments & grand tour stages in the past 2 years and finished on the podium of the Giro By her versatility and her attitude, she has been the best Worldchampion that the sport could wish in those years. #cycling #cyclingbluesky

🇬🇧 Tom Pidcock ✅ Grand tour podium ✅ CX / MTB Worldchampion ✅ Olympic MTB champion ✅ World Tour classic winner ✅ Grand tour stage winner ⏸️ Monument winner ⏸️ Grand tour winner ... Tom Pidcock set a new milestone in his career ✨ #LaVuelta25 #cycling

The final classifications of 🇪🇸 La Vuelta #cycling #LaVuelta25

Eleonora Gasparrini is really having already a few good seasons at her age. The now 23 years old Italian won in Stuttgart today and has already achieved many victories & other great results before. Her team is packed full of talent, but let's hope she can get enough chances in the future #cycling

They have to be ashamed. Abusing the flag of Palestine to commit violence on innocent people by themselves. This has nothing to do anymore with protecting other people's life's. This is just hiding under a banner to justify their own violence. Try to find real solutions instead. #LaVuelta25

It's a sad loss for the sport. That nobody was able to bring her mentally on the right level again is disappointing. Cavalli has been one of the most talented riders of this decade. Cycling should invest more in the mental aspect of coaching, not just in watts & weight #cycling #cyclingbluesky

🇵🇱 Poland for Worlds 🌈 🔸 Women Elite 🚴‍♀️ Kasia Niewiadoma 🚴‍♀️ Marta Lach 🚴‍♀️ Karolina Perekitko ❌ Wlodarczyk, Skalniak 🔸 Women U23 🚴‍♀️ Malwina Mul 🚴‍♀️ Weronika Wąsaty 🚴‍♂️ Men Elite ❌ No riders 🔸 Men U23 🚴‍♂️ Mateusz Gajdulewicz 🚴‍♂️ Dawid Lewandowski 🚴‍♂️ Michał Pomorski #cycling #cyclingbluesky

Quite impressive that a ProTeam like Q36.5 managed to put a rider on a grand tour podium already. Until Spring it was even uncertain if they could ride a grand tour at all this year. #LaVuelta25 #cycling

Jonas Vingegaard has confirmed himself as the winner of this Vuelta. Despite his favourite status, the race was interesting until the penultimate day. He won 2 of the 3 grand tours now. Maybe the @giroditalia could attract him too in the coming years? #LaVuelta25 #cycling

Van Empel will fully focus on cyclocross I'm really glad about the team's approach to this matter Listening to your athlete and not pushing her into something that she doesn't like is important to perform at a high level I'm glad that she found an environment where can feel comfortable. #cycling

Bredewold is a rider that usually serves her leaders during the Spring classics, but when she gets a chance for herself later, she usually finishes it off. Would be interesting to see her playing a bigger role in the classics, next year, same for Vas. #cycling #cyclingbluesky

Without doubt, the fastest sprinter in this Vuelta 💨 4⃣ grand tour stage victories this year overall. After crashing out early in the Tour de France, he still gets something nice out of this season. #LaVuelta25

Very nice for African cycling that Biniam Girmay changed his mind and will represent 🇪🇷 Eritrea at the first Worlds in Africa. Hopefully he will inspire many other young African cyclists, this way. #cycling #Eritrea

✨ Throwback Thursday Emma Johansson was one of the best classic riders of her generation. She won medals at the Worlds & Olympics, won Trofeo Binda & Drenthe and finished runner-up in Flanders. She's the most successful 🇸🇪 Swedish rider of all time #cycling #cyclingbluesky

Noticed the black burned final climb today? This mountain was hit hard by forest fires, this Summer. This is a very visible example of how we should care about the environment. To no let so much beauty and living space for so many different species get lost. #LaVuelta25 #cycling
