Tobias Müller is having a really good week so far. After a bit of a slower start he is getting his chances with the new team now and seems to grab them with both hands. Couple more opportunities coming up this week at Dunkerque too

Thüringen will host the 🇩🇪 National Road Championships in 2026. The ITTs will be held in Streufdorf and the road race on a very hilly 27km loop around Bad Liebenstein (via Steinbach, Brotterode, Brotterode-Trusetal). No info yet if there will be any TV coverage. www.rad-net.de/ajax.aspx/co...

Katharina Palm (Rembe rad-net) wins todays Rad-Bundesliga race in Überherrn from a small group. Teammate Aileen Schweikart takes 2nd & defends her overall lead while Ilsa Beig (Baden-Forchheim) takes a good 3rd. Rembe is predictably absolutely dominating the series after this first block of races.

Josse Dietrich (German Junior Racing) wins today's Junior Rad-Bundesliga race in Berghülen! Nick Urich (Lidl-Trek Junior Racing) is 2nd and Lenny Karstedt (German Junior Racing) 3rd. Nice win for Dietrich who's been a Downhill rider until last year. BuLi leader Elsäßer defends his lead in 4th.

Franziska Brauße (Rembe rad-net) won today's Rad-Bundesliga race in Berghülen! Speed skater Maira Jasch confirms her recent results & gets an excellent 2nd while Karoline Goldschmidt (Rembe rad-net) comes 3rd. Aileen Schweikart remains BuLi leader ahead of Goldschmidt & Lechner. 📸Dominic Reichert

Luan Elsäßer (Lidl-Trek Junior Racing) wins todays Jr Rad-Bundesliga ITT in Bad Schussenried and takes over the Bundesliga lead! Lenny Karstedt (German Junior Racing) and teammate Max Jerzyna in 2nd & 3rd complete the podium. BuLi leader Leon Resag (LV Brandenburg) is 11th & slips to 2nd overall.

Lisa Klein (Rembe rad-net) wins today's ITT at the Rad-Bundesliga in Bad Schussenried. Teammate Aileen Schweikart defends her Bundesliga lead with a 2nd place & Corinna Lechner (Wheel Divas) remains Rembe's biggest competition, 3rd again today. Great result for 1st year U23 Julia Servay in 7th!

Pretty great ride by Rondel today which positions him well into the fight for a potential Top 5. Exceeded my ecxpectations! Further down the order, Markel Beloki is continuing his good Giro as well and could target a Top 15 placing while hunting for stage wins. #GirodItalia

Oskar Doberschütz won yesterday's Junior Rad-Bundesliga race in Waldburg. In a big bunch sprint he beat Raul Esch (German Junior Racing) and Luis Hoyler (MTB Teck). Doberschütz is an interesting sprinter talent in his first year. Leon Resag (5th) is the new Bundesliga leader. 📸 Team Neo-Solutions

Aileen Schweikart (Rembe rad-net) won todays Womens Rad-Bundesliga opener in Waldburg. Teammate Selma Lantzsch sprinted to 2nd with Corinna Lechner 3rd (Wheel Divas). Rembe dominated the race but rower Lilli Stieghorst (4th) & speed skater Maira Jasch (15th) are noteable results. 📸Corinna Lechner

Great race so far. Both for pink and the stage win. Aular, Narvaez, Ciccone, Raccagni Noviero, Engelhardt, Valgren, LVE, Ulissi or a sneaky Christen attack? On to a very open final few kms #GirodItalia

Sad to see the Men's team go. Was a good launchpad for French talent, specially those non-U23s that took a bit longer to develop and make that jump to the pros. Hopefully with fully concentrating on the women's team they remain be a stable presence over the next few years.

Fantastic day out there for the German Junior Women at Gent-Wevelgem! Edda Bieberle continues her run of impressive results, Amandine Jakob with a real breakout performance and Klara Dworatzek rounds it off with a Top 10. Sketchy final with only Pichon attentive enough and thus securing a big win.

Eike Behrens wins the Erzgebirgsrundfahrt and continues his breakout season. He defends the Rad-Bundesliga lead and won ahead of local Patrick Reißig (Benotti-Berthold) and Julian Borresch (Rembe rad-net). Karl Hall in 6th as an amateur with an interesting result! 📸Lotto Kern-Haus

Class win by Silva who has now truly arrived at the biggest stage. Very cool to see. Fun final, if a bit sketchy in those conditions. #GirodItalia

5th in his first international race for Bike Aids Nahom Efriem! He was 11th at last years Junior Worlds and had trouble coming over to Europe earlier this year. And Belohvosciks also continues his great run with a 3rd place. Great day out for Bike Aid. #TourofHellas

Promising signs for Evita Muzic today. Would be nice to see her up there in GC again after a slow start to the season. Still just two years since she battled with Vollering at the Vuelta and even won a stage. #LaVueltaFemenina

Boothman has been absulte class all year. Such a great talent both on the road and track and seemingly no problems transitioning out of Junior into the Elite ranks. Another great race by Magdalena Leis as well. Very active in the final. Bit too much maybe but still learning in her first Elite year.

Some good results in the Junior ranks today for German riders with Lenny Karstedt and Onno Bieberle taking podiums on the stage and Top 5s on GC at GP West Bohemia. Richard Thoma & Oskar Doberschütz with good results too. Rodriguez the next interesting Mexican talent coming through! 📸Firstcycling

Very impressive race overall by both Albert Withen Philipsen & Luke Tuckwell at Romandie. Especially for Tuckwell this was a huge step-up and with some of the more experienced climbers/GC riders leaving the team he could slot into an important climbing domestique role next year already. #TDR2026

Stephanie Meder continues her great race & wins the Gracia Orlová TT. Also the Wheel Divas first UCI win as a Conti team. Meder has a big engine, is a good climber & came late to cycling. Races like Gracia are great for her development. Goldschmidt & Tulowitzki with top results too! 📸Firstcycling

Gracia Orlova is one of the oldest running women's races on the calendar and always produces good racing for the smaller teams. Stephanie Meder is developing well converting her numbers into actual results. Goldschmidt & Lantzsch with good results to have a go at the GC as well. 📸Firstcycling

Now confirmed that the "Thüringen Women Cycling Challenge" one-day race in and around Gera will step into the void left by the cancellation of last years Lotto Thüringen Ladies Tour. Plans for a 3-day race in 2027 and back to 6-days in 2028 as well. www.mdr.de/sport/andere...

Nils Maiwald won today 2nd round of Men's Junior Bundesliga at GP Trier. First big win in the Jr category for Maiwald, last year's German U17 champion. Karstedt & Resag are expected names up there while Nils Borrmann continues his great season defending his Bundesliga lead. 📸Saxonia Racing

Paul-Felix Petry won today's Bundesliga race in Trier, taking his first big win in the Elite category. He won from the break against two Lotto Kern-Haus riders in Fausto Penna and Louis Grupp. Great win for Petry, who is also a great track rider and seems to develop well. 📸Mario Stiehl

Pepe Albrecht won the 2nd round of Rad-Bundesliga today at the Großer Preis der Südlichen Weinstraße in Schweigen. Eike Behrens continues his strong season in 2nd and thus taking the overall Bundesliga lead while Linus Scheitinger takes a nice 3rd place. 📸REMBE rad-net

Edgar Cadena bagging a big win today for a German Conti team at Vuelta a Asturias. So far the big signing has worked out well for Storck - MRW Bau who made a significant change in roster quality & internationalization over winter. Another very good result for Jermaine Zemke as well! 📸Firstcycling

Great result today for UAE Devs Magdalena Leis finishing 2nd at Gran Premio Della Liberazione. A big result in her first Elite year & at such a historic race right through the center of Rome. Chantal Pegolo in 4th is another one to watch & supposedly already snapped up by Lidl-Trek. 📸Firstcycling

Incredible ride by Lennart Jasch to take the win from the break. Peloton not making it a GC stage certainly helped but still this will hopefully give him a pro-contract for 2027. Nice to see changing Dev teams and further pursuing a pro career seems to be paying off for him. #TotA

Very impressive performance by Gaffuri there from the break. Maybe he can get Picnic that elusive win later this week with these legs #TotA

Often a bit of a gamble with these super fast Italian Junior sprinters but Fedrizzi also showing pedigree elsewhere and him being tied down by one of the "smaller" WT teams, this seems like a nice next step

Very good race by MAT ATOM's Sofia Ungerova today. Making front splits and finishing 15th in the end. A very promising Junior, always a bit overshadowed by Chladonová. Surely a WWT rider sooner or later. Same for Brit Noemie Thomson. Still very raw, but showing promise once again. #DBPwomen

Away from Roubaix we had one of the two German Junior UCI stage races last weekend, the traditional Cottbuser Junioren Etappenfahrt. The win stayed in Cottbus with Onno Bieberle taking the GC thanks to his TT & some bonus seconds. Great result that hopefully puts his name out there! 📸Firstcycling

Thijs Wiersma wins Paris-Roubaix U19 in front of Karl Herzog in a very close sprint! Big win for Wiersma and another great result for Herzog. Great teamwork by the Dutch and a great final by Herzog to make it back up to the front.

Onno Bieberle won the time trial at Cottbuser Junioren Etappenfahrt this morning taking the overall lead. It's a great result for him which should give him some confidence even if the level here isn't the highest. Also means both Onno and Edda have now won a UCI race in 2026! 📸Firstcycling

Down Under was a bit too early but Catalunya and now his ride on the last Pays de la Loire stage been incredibly strong. Will be a very exciting rider to follow over the next few years!

Watching that Itzulia final with Seixas attacking the desecent reminded me of the first time I heard riders talk about what a crazy descender Seixas is. Fun interview with Jarno Widar & Milan Donie from Classique des Alpes 2023. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Um3b...

Good to see Alexander Kamps yearly Amstel Gold Race peak continues to be a thing in 2026 as well

Interesting interview with Emil Herzog about his role at RBH, chances of his own and a possible change of teams to experience something new. www.directvelo.com/actualite/12...

Pavlo Otmorskyi (Cannibal B Victorius) won yesterdays Rund um Schönaich, the season opener for the Junior Bundesliga. He beat Onno Bieberle (LV Brandenburg) & Nils Borrmann (SC Berlin) into 2nd & 3rd after winning the sprint of a small lead group that stayed away to the finish. 📸Dominic Reichert

First UCI win yesterday for Eike Behrens (Lotto Kern-Haus Outlet Montabaur) at the new Mur de Huy Classic. Behrens went with a long effort up the Mur de Huy and probably surprised a few of the more established names behind him. First time he was able to show his potential on the int. stage!

Silas Koech continues his great start to the season and wins the Bundesliga opener at the Sachsenring solo! Grupp showing his speed out of small groups and a great result for Brit Meyer-Eland. 🥇Silas Koech 🥈Louis Grupp 🥉Luke Meyer-Eland 📸 Lotto Kern-Haus

Barry showing his class on the VAM-Berg today. Very attritional stage there as per usual. Great showing by Silas Koech who only had to let go the first group in the last few k's and is now up to 7th on GC.

Not sure why RBH are sending guys up the road instead of getting the peloton to cooperate instead..

Another Top 10 in a Belgian Junior Classic for Lenny Karstedt. The bunch sprint was very chaotic and against some very fast guys like Fedrizzi and Schnyder that is as good a result one could've hoped for.

Great team performance by Lotto-Kern Haus putting 3 riders in what is now effectively a race of 29 riders making the two front splits. Huppertz his usual reliable self + Morang & Koech strong. Ed Uptegrove is a name to remember after his start to the season. He should have interest by bigger teams.

Very good 6th place for Paul Fietzke at Youngster Coast Challenge, the first big U23 race of the year. Was out all day in the break that always was within 1-minute of the peloton but held on and fought for the win. Nice to see Pavel Sumpik on the podium and progressing after a hard first U23 year.

Sign of the times when big, well organized and supported Junior teams have budgets of 500.000€, which is well more than some of the German Conti teams. Team did a good job supporting Mauss last year, hopefully Karstedt, Esch, Bell can follow this year! www.thueringer-allgemeine.de/sport/articl...

Lidl-Trek announcing their Junior set-up which will provide 10/13 roster spots for German/regional talents. Fits in with the whole team setting up their operations in southwest Germany. Different pathway to what RBH & Grenke did in internationalizing their roster and cutting their regional roots.

Great Junior debut for Edda Bieberle today at Trofeo Binda Junior. She has been a dominating force in the German Youth ranks and now managed to bring that onto an even bigger stage. Big talent to watch over the next few years!
