Is it just me or does the final grand tour of 2025 feel a smidge like an afterthought? It has crept up out of nowhere and plenty of big names are missing it in favour of other targets or perhaps more favourable preparation for the world championships and end of season classics. The being said, … Continue reading Velogames Preview – Spain 2025

Velogames Preview – Velogame 2025
Honestly, I don't know why anyone is back here again after the catastrophic and diabolical omission of any kind of sound advice for picking Isaac Del Toro at the Giro d'Italia, yet here we are. I guess I was so taken in by the two leaders spiel that I couldn't see any other eventuality. Lesson … Continue reading Velogames Preview – Velogame 2025
Velogames Preview – Italy 2025
Oh boy, the Giro has managed to launch just after the start of the competitive tennis season and this is my only free evening this week! I may be available for an hour or so on Thursday for a pre-race stream, which I know were popular last year, I'll have a think and let you … Continue reading Velogames Preview – Italy 2025
Velogames Preview – Spain 2024
It seems like only yesterday that we were watching the conclusion of the Tour de France yet here we are, already at the final grand tour of 2024. It's been a whirlwind few weeks with a fantastic Paris Olympics under our belt, and the lead up to this race feels a bit rushed. Final line-ups … Continue reading Velogames Preview – Spain 2024

Le Grande Boucle is here! The second grand tour of 2024 is upon us and oh boy, I'm so excited. The route is pretty fantastic and the line-up even more so. Nearly all the top general classification (GC) riders are down to race, including the 'big 4' of world tour stage racing. We're maybe lacking … Continue reading Velogames Preview – VELOGAME 2024
Velogames Preview – Italy 2024
This season is absolutely racing by. The Spring Classics are done, over half of the world tour stage races are behind us as well. We now enter grand tour season and we start with an almost foregone conclusion edition of the Giro d'Italia. Tadej Pogačar is currently at 2/9 (1.22) to win this years race, … Continue reading Velogames Preview – Italy 2024
Velogames Preview – Paris-Nice 2024
I'm watching the end of an historic Strade Bianche race as I write this, and seeing as I'm working in two hours, I'll try and keep this fairly brief! But here we are, at the start of the stage race championship in Velogames. The warm up races are over. We've learned one or two things … Continue reading Velogames Preview – Paris-Nice 2024
Velogames Preview – Spain 2023
The final grand tour of the year is upon us, and I don't know if it's just me, but I feel like this race both crept up on us and simultaneously took ages to arrive. We probably have the new cycling world championships to thank for that, or maybe I just couldn't wait for more … Continue reading Velogames Preview – Spain 2023
Velogames Preview – VELOGAME 2023
The time is nigh! Vingegaard versus Pogačar at the Tour de France round 2! Or 3 if you count 2021. This feels like the start of a long and healthy rivalry and one we can hope to enjoy at the Tour for many years. I'm glad Pogačar has some decent competition because I was worried … Continue reading Velogames Preview – VELOGAME 2023
