Geraint Thomas awkwardly dismounts the fence ahead of Paris-Nice

March 3, 2016 · by Alex · in Classics and day races, Stage races

Paris-Nice starts on Sunday. Technically, other WorldTour races have already been and gone, so I’ll be diplomatic and call it the first major European stage race of the season. Last year, Paris-Nice had a bit…

Nairo Quintana in the third week

July 25, 2015 · by Alex · in Tour de France

After Chris Froome hurried his way to what appeared an impregnable lead after stage 10, I wrote that Grand Tours aren’t just about who’s fastest, they’re also about how tired you get and I pointed…

Peter Sagan finishes second to… Ruben Plaza?

July 20, 2015 · by Alex · in Tour de France

Four British riders for the Spring Classics

November 28, 2013 · by Alex · in Classics and day races

I make no apologies for the Brit-centric nature of this website. I have milk in my tea and it’s a .co.uk domain name. You can’t argue with unshakeable truths such as those. Today’s article therefore…

Geraint Thomas is in form for the Tour of Flanders tomorrow
