I'll keep an eye on updates … Continue reading Paris-Nice – Velogames Preview

I did start writing this earlier this week, but since the coronavirus has cancelled the final 2 stages of the UAE Tour and is threatening several other races, mostly in Northern Italy, it might change the tone of this piece. Still! I'm going to carry on regardless as if nothing will be different and hope … Continue reading Early Season Review

Next year I'll be much more on the ball with posting stuff like this, I promise, but for now this can serve as a reminder of how last season finished, and whether any teams were able to hit their end-of-season goals or see their season fizzle out into nothingness.

Here I will summarise the route; which stages to watch out for; where the race might be one or … Continue reading Vuelta a España – Route Guide

I meant to write this before the Tour de France, but alas, I was occupied with other things. So now instead of it being a 'mid season' review, it's going to be more of a 'fighting over what's left of the season' review. So let's look over some of the highlights of the season so … Continue reading 2019 Mid Season Review
