I'm always sad when grand tour racing draws to a close for another year, and we've been treated to some wonderful battles and great stories over the last few months. I've finally managed to pull myself away from the fantastic racing we've been treated to at the Tour of Britain to properly round up the … Continue reading Spain 2021 – Velogames Round Up

Time for my favourite grand tour and the last chance for any teams still searching for glory in the biggest races. Without any other articulate thought on how to structure my excitement for this race, let's just get right down to it shall we! The Route There are three main themes with the route this … Continue reading Velogames Preview – Spain 2021

With the final grand tour of the year right around the corner and the start list beginning to trickle in, I thought it best to round off the Tour and drop a few comments on which teams need what from La Vuelta. In simple terms, it was another repeat of the Giro, with one contender … Continue reading Velogame XXIII – Round Up

Plenty of intrigue surrounding the peloton before we hit the start line in Brest. Will the yellow jersey battle be a two horse race? Who can take the race to the top dogs? Who wants the green jersey the most with Sam Bennett's absence? So much to decipher and pick over and I'll cover everything … Continue reading Velogames Preview – VELOGAME XXIII

I wouldn't look too hard at how my team performed this Giro. It just goes to show that no matter how much meticulous planning, how much we think we know or might know about this sport, there will always be twists and surprises. Quite a few riders in the final top 10 are where we … Continue reading Italy 2021 – Velogames Round Up

It seems strange to be previewing a normal grand tour after the weirdness we all went through last year, but thankfully we've had a fairly uninterrupted lead-up to this race and we can make predictions that actually make sense. More and more completed rosters are trickling in and the picture of who will be going … Continue reading Velogames Preview – Italy 2021

This is the year of youth, two grand tours down, two winners aged 25 or under. Can the Vuelta follow suit? There are a few young guns going well there, but it's only Hugh Carthy who can emulate his compatriot from the Giro. Speaking of the Giro, who'd have thought after three weeks of hard … Continue reading Italy 2020 – Velogames Round Up

This is going to be a weird race to try and predict. Right in the middle of Autumn and overlapping another grand tour. A lot of teams are keeping their race ambitions under wraps and many are deploying a 'wait and see' strategy, with their expectations manifesting during the early stages. There are many young … Continue reading Velogames Preview – Spain 2020

Putting this together during a fascinating stage 10 of the Giro, but here is what happened last week in the world of the pro peloton. There were many surprises in the Giro, both good and bad, and some great one-day races to warm us up for the final few weeks of the season. So without … Continue reading Weekly Pro-Cycling Review – 13/10/2020

This is the start of a new regular piece I'm planning to write weekly summarising the main talking points about the previous week's racing and general pro-cycling news. Treat it as a 'what you might have missed' or a short recap to quickly get to grips with all the interesting happenings. I'm intending to do … Continue reading Weekly Pro-Cycling Review – 06/10/2020
