Chris Froome still intact | First Rest Day Wrap

July 10, 2017 · by Alex · in Tour de France

The Rest Day Wrap is my attempt to give an overview of where things stand in the Tour de France. It’s less about stage wins and focuses instead on the general classification, which is the…

Richie Porte is stronger than everybody individually (but not everybody combined) | The 2017 Criterium du Dauphine wrap

June 12, 2017 · by Alex · in Stage races

It was a classic edition of the eight-stage race I like to call The Dolphin – but as ever, the main point of interest is what events told us about the form of the main…

Richie Porte wins first WorldTour event of the year – but what the hell is the WorldTour?

January 23, 2017 · by Alex · in Stage races

Vasil Kiryienka is the man to maintain an impossible-to-maintain pace

May 23, 2015 · by Alex · in Giro d'Italia

French team FDJ have a scooter they train behind. It’s named ‘Vasil’ after Sky rider Vasil Kiryienka because of the relentlessly punishing pace it delivers. It seems that riding along behind it is almost –…

Richie Porte realises the perils of ‘mateship’

May 20, 2015 · by Alex · in Giro d'Italia

A puncture with 5km to go and the racing in full swing was not what Richie Porte wanted. Where were his team-mates and where was the team car? No matter, here’s Porte’s fellow countryman, Simon…
