Forget the wind direction for a moment (headwind forecast), this might be the perfect team to successfully ignore UAE's Cipressa/Poggio tactics and still be able to neutralise them. Just set a hard pace and hold it. Massive shame about Brennan being ill, though.

'Senza rischio, niente gloria' 🇮🇹🤩 - Primož Roglič #MSR #rogla #norisknoglory #laprimavera 🌱

The eagle-eyed among you have spotted a few unexpected price changes on the Velogames Fantasy Cycling Sixes: Classics Edition 2026 ahead of Milano-Sanremo, causing price reductions for Van der Poel (2 credits less), Pidcock (2 credits less) & Mads Pedersen (4 credits less). (1/4)

The traditional Velogames Squad Series: Fantasy Spring Classics 2026 contest begins at Milano-Sanremo on Saturday 21st March 2026! Enter this long-running, transfers-based contest that features 12 of the largest one-day races of the season. (1/5)

There is a football adage about former players coming back to score against you This must be the cycling equivalent of

I was surprised Alec Segaert wasn't retained by Lotto during the merger with Intermarche. Won the hotly contested ITT at Renewi Tour in 2024 and has always looked strong as an ox. Fantastic to see him get his first pro road victory at GP Denain 💪

AG2R with a great MSR team in big 2026. What a time to be alive.

Watching back 2025 Milano-Sanremo. I love this moment. Two legends, taking everything the other has for 22km of one of the most iconic races. An acknowledgement of, ok, I tried. We'll take this to the line 🤝

Pidders making a point of saying how nice it is to chose his own calendar now and go to races that suit him

Pidcock really wanted that Roglic handshake 😆 Roglic: "Ah, yeah, ok..."

Does Roglic know there are two ascents of Superga?

History lessons in my cycling commentary. This is why Ned is the best.

My naive arse thought if you killed the wife and mother of your children you should go to prison, not be free to post on Insta that the new car you have is “an absolute weapon”

Christen didn't look too sharp at Tirreno and was suffering while setting up Del Toro for Camerino and not dropping anyone. He's a punchy finisher, not a hot pace setter, to my eyes. This team relies on Christen and McNulty being at the front to hard pace Cipressa.

That's ok then!

We have a new Froome

Give the fans what they want “MILAN!! MILAN!!!” 😄 #TirrenoAdriatico

I think Jensen had the right idea at #ParisNice today 🤿 😂 #Plowright

4 and a half years since Michael Valgren last won a race 🥹 In October 2022, he fractured his pelvis, dislocated his hip, damaged his ACL, MCL and meniscus in a crash at Route d'Occitane. Huge credit to EF for sticking by him all that time 👏

Who is pink sunglasses guy on Visma?

Zimmermann receiving about 4 sticky gels from the team car to get up this hill with the camera moto right behind them 😂

MVDP 184km solo? Yeah go on then

I wonder if Mathieu will be feeling cold today

can this be a solution?

We all need a friend who lets us borrow their garage

Vingegaard already winning the GC by minutes and he's gone 20km solo 😆

What a finale. Great stage design. MVDP. Imperious.

Del Toro asking Christen to not attack him

Tarling babysitting Oscar yesterday was the sweetest thing

Can he get disqualified for wearing his bibs over his jersey? I'm literally asking for it to happen so I never have to see this again.

Which LinkedIn prat came up with that

This is why Tirreno is better than Paris-Nice. These kinds of finishes are majestic 😍

"It's a right left right. In fact, no! It's a left right left! I'm looking at the map upside down!" Peak Carlton 😆

Carlton Kirby and Matt Stephens on SBS commentary. What a pairing.

Daily energy

Mr 5th place finally wins a WorldTour race!

Actually remembering to share my Velo League - Wheelie Good Fun for Paris-Nice. Feel free to join - 764725816

A bucket list gig: Alter Bridge at the O2 Arena. For those that know Desert Island Discs on BBC Radio 4; Fortress, Cry of Achilles and Blackbird would be 3 of my 8 tracks to take away with me.

Seixas vs UAE at Strade

There are always 'funny' comments about the new generation being boring (not drinking) but I don't think we knew Brennan is celiac.

FFS Puck 😂😂 #PuckPieterse

Great advert for cycling; jetting in, winning, going home. Can't wait for Omloop...

Butterflies, Daffodils and 18 degrees darn sarf today. Must be nearly summer.

Bodø/Glimt. That's all.

ʼmisconduct in public officeʼ is a wonderfully vague crime, anything from stealing pens to selling a nuclear bomb to zambia

Gloag would have won the 2009 TDF

What I take from this is Thomas Gloag is on a higher level than Contador

Maybe he got lulled into opening the sprint too early, but Oscar *nearly* beat Ayuso there. I do wonder/worry about his GC ceiling when he's always going to leak time in the TT. A good week nonetheless.

The French papers, tomorrow
