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

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

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
