World Champion Annemiek van Vleuten has auctioned some of her old kit and raised €17,000 for charity. Half of the money raised will be used to help Amy Pieters.
This is her third time doing such auctions for charity. The first two auctions fetched €10,000 and €8,500 respectively. "This is super cool. I've done this here before, but this is definitely the biggest turnout ever," Van Vleuten said. She auctioned her Movistar team jerseys, leader's jerseys from the the Tour de France Femmes, the UCI WorldTour series along with shoes, helmets, and other accessories.
The proceeds from the auction will be divided equally between Amy Pieters Foundation and Bikes4Masa. It is a charity in Kenya that helps supply bikes to the Masai population. "They now sometimes have to walk 20 kilometers to school. We try to buy bicycles for them so that they do go to school. It's very nice that everyone is so generous. This makes me really happy," concluded the World champion.

- great analysis thanks! appreciate you posting this. I didn't realize CX had a different standard for deviation. this is even more egregious it seems.mij10-11-2026
- As he isn't currently with Red Bull, I guess if he want to race for one more year he needs to find a team. He's 37 so this will be his last year I would guess, unless he wants to race for almost nothing like Froome did.awp10-11-2026
- I think some are making much ado about nothing. Even though Jonas is getting older, before his crash in the Tour, he looked like a solid 2nd all the way home. No one can really climb with Tadej until this year, Eric Mas showed himself which I think was a one off year for him and Paul Seixas has been able to be pretty close to him. Whatever stage race Jonas enters as long as Tadej is not there he is a favorite to win.awp10-11-2026
- Giro or not Giro, he won't win the Tour!MajorPayne10-11-2026
- Very true.awp10-11-2026
- Ciccone had a very strong end of season. Consistently attacking and livening up races. Hope he makes that last leap in progress and starts notching some significant wins. Great rider to watch.Occam10-11-2026
- Me too!!!!!Occam10-11-2026
- they can sign any 100 of top riders today but Pogi will win over Remco any time at the TDF unless something goes wrongabstractengineer10-11-2026
- the time for a GC rider to retire is when they cannot win stages, or have a significant level drop like from winner/podium into top 5/10 consistently. Roglic is still competitive and Froome raced even though he became pack fodder.abstractengineer10-11-2026
- He should be in a different team. It was detrimental. For them it does not matter if he does not develop. He should have gone to a team where they need him to succeed.abstractengineer10-11-2026
