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

Races coming thick and fast now and we've started a block of non-stop world tour racing until the 8th of November, all being well. Teams are having to think really hard about what riders to commit where especially with overlapping grand tours. With that in mind, this race could be a very open race with … Continue reading Velogames Preview – Italy 2020

So after the highs of Le Tour and the excitement of the world championships, what have been the highlights and where do teams stand before we head into a bonkers 2 months of almost non-stop racing. There are still two men's world tour teams without a win in either pro or world tour level races, … Continue reading Mid Season Update – 29/09/2020

Well well, what a breathless Tour that was! Some incredible performances and a historic final weekend caps one of the most exciting Tours de France of recent memory. If the other two remaining grand tours of the year have half the excitement of this race then we're in for a treat. But what of fantasy … Continue reading The Great Big Bike Game 2020 – Velogames Round Up
