Chris Froome does the early riding | the first 2017 Vuelta a Espana rest day wrap

August 28, 2017 · by Alex · in Vuelta a Espana

The Rest Day Wrap is an attempt to give an overview of where things stand in the Vuelta a Espana. It focuses on the general classification – which is the overall race – rather than…

Team Sky have an absolute bloody nightmare

September 5, 2016 · by Alex · in Vuelta a Espana

The peloton is long. Containing getting on for 200 riders, it is a long way from the front to the back. It is even further from the back to the front, particularly when the damn…

Peter Sagan’s luxury wardrobe

July 4, 2016 · by Alex · in Tour de France

July 1, 2016 · by Alex · in Tour de France

It shouldn’t really be headline news. I mean he is the world champion. The Slovak quickly put Friday’s disappointment aside by winning Gent-Wevelgem, the Belgian one-day race that doesn’t visit Gent. The Belgians really aren’t…

Geraint Thomas lasts the week at Paris-Nice

March 14, 2016 · by Alex · in Stage races

Without wishing to dumb down too much, cycling is to a great extent about tiredness. Tiredness is what makes a three-week Grand Tour different from three one-week races with gaps in between. Geraint Thomas won…

Iljo Keisse delivers one last surprise

May 31, 2015 · by Alex · in Giro d'Italia

With hindsight, it was spectacularly stupid of me to assume there would be a sprint finish. The 2015 Giro has had no time for predictability. As it turned out, two track riders, Iljo Keisse and…
