Just caught up with ALL of the day's (televised) bike racing. That crash man. Jesus. Jay Vine is cursed 💔 Absolutely outstanding and surprising ending to the Vuelta Femenina l, just wow 🔥 And Benoît being Benoît in France 🙌

Dylan Groenewegen didn’t end up winning the stage for Unibet Rose Rockets…. For a piece of pie, which was the last team to have won the very first stage of their very first Grand Tour?

Victor Campanaetts touting for girls for Tim Rex on the first Visma Giro vlog wasn't on my bingo card, Victor's content is so good 🤣

How in the world is it time for the Giro d'Italia already? I am still lingering on the cobbles of Paris-Roubaix mentally. I am ready to immerse myself into a 3-week race, hoping for plenty of unexpected storylines 🇮🇹🌸🤩

IOC says no cyclocross at the 2030 Olympics, BOO, BOO I SAY 😭😭😭

The Giro d'Italia starts tomorrow 🎉 We've created an interactive tool to show exactly when to tune in to see the key tactical moments, customised to your specific timezone 🙌 You can check it out here: veloracycling.com/features/gir...

REMINDER!!!! There is a mirror account on here for Giro d'Italia Men, just like the Tour de France Hommes that you can follow to keep up for the next 3 weeks 🤩 Spread the word on #bikesky 🥰🩷

I have mixed feelings about this. I feel as though having Niamh Fisher-Black and Gaia Realini both still growing toward their top GC form should really be Lidl-Trek's focus... I get why Kasia might want a change though. And why Lidl would want to try and guarantee more immediate results.

Arnaud de Lie is heading to Tudor! An interesting choice for him, when apparently Groupama and Alpecin were also on the table (as reported by Bram Vandecapelle).

Thought I read pre-stage that today was the most nailed on sprint stage at La Vuelta and planned to catch up later... now I see that Cédrine won?! 🤩🔥🥹 Cannot wait to see how that came about 😍 (was it on a descent?) 🤔😜

Valentin Madouas' pre-Tro Bro Léon post is amazing 🤩 He's looking for a friend for Léon 🥹 One of my favourite races of the year, bring it on 🔥🇫🇷

Oh my goodness Fabio Jakobsen's new baby son is named Thor I love it 🤩 (per instagram).

In case you haven't seen it yet. One of the best announcement videos I've seen. Not even because I'm biased 🥹

EF and ASSOS absolutely smashing the change kit game out of the park with these, just so good 🔥🔥🔥

OMG. It's happening.

Wow. The way she chased back on after that crash, even giving a pretty clear-headed interview after the race, and she had a broken collarbone the whole time? 😮

GRAND TOUR SEASON STARTS TODAY 🥳 Of course, we don't get full coverage of the opening stage of La Vuelta Femenina WHY WOULD WE? 🙄 But anyway, I'm on the @cyclingnews.com live page today and will do my best to keep you all up to date all day! Let's gooooo 🙌

Disappointing to see some cycling channels doing (men’s) Giro d’Italia previews (which doesn’t start for another week) when they haven’t done Vuelta España Femenina previews (which starts tomorrow).

Egan Bernal vs rest of (whatever they're called)

What, Godon won?! I had a weird feeling about him doing really well this morning but dismissed it because Pogi. Now wishing I'd put some money on it 😅

Tour de Romandie and Tour de Suisse obviously look like foregone conclusions and with some key names out the Giro GC is likely to be pretty flat too... hoping for some entertaining individual stages at least over the next few weeks... Oh and Tro Bro Léon of course 🥳🇫🇷

The most recent and next French Tour de France winner? 📸 @LeTour

I really do hope you all join me for something a little different on Monument Cycling TV for a live watch along of thr CiCLE Classic 🇬🇧! Live pictures from select locations with commentary plus analysis and chat with guests! It will hopefully be a very fun day! www.youtube.com/live/ZuDJ5kz...

Very excited to watch the battle of France today at Flèche Wallonne, so many faves, Loulou, Vauquelin, Martinez, Cosnefroy and of course the debut of the wonder wonderkid Paul Seixas 👀🇫🇷 Let's gooooo 🥳🙌

Some Tibopino cows for your tineline 🥹 (from his instagram)

A small beer

Visma-Lease a Bike tease a 'mysterious package' which has been spotted somewhere in the south of Europe... what's in the package? Wrong answers only! 😄

Talk to me NHL fans... which match-up are you most looking forward to as the Stanley Cup kicks off? Which series is best to follow as a neutral? I don't support any of the teams but could be persuaded by Penguins, Habs or Avs. What are we thinking? #NHL #StanleyCup

💔💔💔 Ben Healy will miss the Ardennes after scans confirmed a small, non-displaced sacral fracture from his crash at Itzulia Basque Country. We’ll miss him out there but we know he’ll be flying off the front of the peloton soon enough! Read more at the link in bio.

Chilling in the bath watching French on French violence in Besançon doing Duolingo French and feeling very *shrugs in French*. 9 whole months since I was in France I miss it so much take me back 🥺🙏🇫🇷

🇺🇸 Taylor Phinney targets LA 2028 Olympics in surprise comeback 🗣️ "The old horse still has some kick. What started as a return to gravel racing has delicately snowballed into a full-on Olympic dream." 📰 www.domestiquecycling.com/en/news/tayl... 📸 Cor Vos

This is horrible. Sending all the best to Kamilla for her recovery 😞🙏

Who was saying this last week when we were talking about Paul Seixas not going to UAE?! You manifested it!!

'We're not superstitious, but we think our Michael rode along with Wout' – Goolaerts' parents moved by Van Aert's victory tribute to teammate who died during Paris-Roubaix 2018 www.cyclingnews.com/pro-cycling/...

Good morning everyone. Just stopping by to say, we now exist in the timeline where Wout van Aert won Paris-Roubaix. That was all. Have a lovely day everyone 😊

The Van Dijke story is mad.

It’s a Wout damn time! 📸 Jasper Jacobs

Now this would round the day out beautifully 🤩

Reporting for duty 🫡 #WatchTheFemmes

@biekepurnelle.bsky.social now we're good right?!

CRYING SCREAMING THROWING UP

Everyone else fine? We all fine? I'm fine, totally fine.

New scenario: MVDP catches, Wout comes second. Might throw myself in the sea 😭🤣

If MVDP wins this now it'll be his greatest win to date l.

If van der Poel gets back now I have seen it all.

MADS.

The Alpecin bike change on the Arenberg is the Monument version of this.

Ganna makes it! Now Meeus can rest haha. Mads, Wout, Pippo... somehow can they find a way around Pogi?!

Thoughts and prayers with Jordi Meeus stuck in a duo with Filippo Ganna 😅
