Cycling is becoming a more and more global sport. I set out to identify a few nations emerging as influential forces (in more ways than one) at the elite levels. From Mexico's Del Toro boom, to China's growth at the grassroots and more. @cyclingnews.com www.cyclingnews.com/pro-cycling/...

For riders who find themselves out of contract, racing China is becoming a more and more attractive prospect. I spoke to Alexander Salby, who moved to China this season after two years at pro level 'I wasn’t really ready to stop cycling' 🇨🇳 globalpeloton.substack.com/p/its-a-viab...

And another pro heading to China. Li Ning Star have just announced the signing of Calum Johnston from Caja Rural

There is a growing trend of professional level riders without contracts finding a way to continue their careers in China and other parts of Asia. There, they find good pay, competitive racing and for Danish sprinter Alexander Salby, a way to re-find joy in cycling.
