How did Steve Cummings win the Tour of Britain?

September 13, 2016 · by Alex · in Stage races

It’s slightly annoying for me that two of my favourite races should clash. The Tour of Britain has little in common with the Vuelta a Espana, but does tend to offer scrappy, broken racing which…

Steve Cummings’ wins are better than everyone else’s

July 8, 2016 · by Alex · in Tour de France

They are. They just are. I don’t need to justify that statement. It’s just manifestly true. Steve Cummings’ Tour de France stage win last year when he soared past Thibaut Pinot and Romain Bardet as…

Rounding up The Dolphin

June 13, 2016 · by Alex · in Stage races

Chris Froome won the Criterium du Dolphin. He won it on stage five. Team-mate Mikel Landa attacked on the final climb and Froome followed as his rivals chased the Spaniard down. The moment they caught…

Steve Cummings wins a stage race

February 17, 2014 · by Alex · in Stage races

Britain is still very Wiggins/Cavendish-centric when it comes to cycling. There’s been semi-adoption of Chris Froome, who races as a Brit and Geraint Thomas is quite well known. However, if you haven’t won a Tour…

Steve Cummings breaks the break and wins a stage of the Vuelta

September 1, 2012 · by Alex · in Vuelta a Espana

There are several reasons why the day’s break is such an important part of bike racing. In most cases, the sheer hope-over-logic glorious bone-headedness of the enterprise is hugely pleasing (even if it is, in…
