There have been two major themes since racing resumed post lockdown around a month ago. The first has seen riders attempt to build form for the Tour de France, be that sprint form or general classification, or even just getting some racing in the legs so they don't bonk as soon as the gradient starts … Continue reading Post-Lockdown Pre-Tour de France Form Guide

ALRIGHT - Disregard most of the below. Since Ineos, Astana, CCC, Mitchelton-Scott, and Movistar have all pulled out, and teams are now allowed to bring 8 riders instead or seven, and ASO have sent out invites to B&B Hotels and Circus - Wanty, the picture is now very different. 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.

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.

The 2019 Vuelta a España route will take 176 riders from the Mediterranean coast in the south of the Valencian Community, through 21 grueling and often treacherously steep stages until we reach the finale in Madrid. 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
