Cycling
Jay Vine capped off the Settimana Internazionale Coppi e Bartali in style, claiming
victory on stage 5 of the Italian stage race. The UAE Team Emirates – XRG rider
attacked late in the day, bridging across to Filippo d’Aiuto with 20 kilometres
remaining before going on to take a well-earned solo win.
It was a strong finish to the race for Vine, who admitted
afterwards that while the win was satisfying, there were still some lingering
regrets from earlier in the week.
"Yes, it was a pretty tough day, but I'm happy to be
able to get another win," said Vine to Cyclism’Actu, reflecting on
his success. "Looking back, it's a shame about stage two," he added.
That earlier stage had seen Vine lose significant time,
hampering his chances of challenging for the overall classification. Still, the
Australian focused on executing the team’s plan during the final day, and
seized his chance when it came.
"We started with the plan of helping the guys as much
as possible, responding to the moves and trying to put either Igor (Arrieta) or
Alessandro (Covi) in the leader's jersey. But in the end, I followed an attack
on the last climb, managed to make the connection and stay in the lead on the
descent to go for the victory."

There was also a small milestone for Vine, who added an
extra layer of satisfaction to the result with a new personal first.
"It's also the first time I've won with the aero bike,
so it's pretty cool," he said.

- Roglic could not have won anyway, after Jonas followed him when Roglic decided it was his turn for a stage win. Jonas had already attacked Kuss twice, so it was Jonas who was within seconds of taking the lead before Kuss was 'gifted' the win. It felt a bit like Roglic was being thrown under the bus when the team made his unhappiness public.Hills3314-11-2026
- POG1, another nice doc about our favourite, I watched most of it with a big smile on my face (except for the bits about his crashes 😢 obvs!).Lozza14-11-2026
- Martinez had a good year! 5th at the Tour was a great result for him, albeit largely through getting in successful breaks, but he held it better than Pidcock who’d done the same.Lozza14-11-2026
- guess what Valgren, you're 34, and no you're not good enough. sorry to say.mij14-11-2026
- I'm a sepp fan and like to think he earned that LOL, indulge me : ) I think Jonas was fine. Roglic did not want to concede to Sepp. and I don't think you ever attack your own teammate in the leaders jersey if he is holding his own, which Sepp just about was.mij14-11-2026
- enough time? he's 24 years old. He's won 10 races over the last 2 years and some are significant. I won't argue about his attitude being good - it needs to improve. But with some coaching and mentorship he has a lot of winning ahead of him and has plenty of time to win a GT. I don't think he will ever beat Tadej, but everyone else is fair game Look at Mas and Valverde - they were 31 and 29, respectively, when they won the Vuelta.mij14-11-2026
- Pogacar has a fine head on his shoulders.Careful investments and a couple of coffee shops sounds like a wonderful way to chill after an intense career.Stay healthy GOAT.

- I live in Ljubljana and often go on trips in the surrounding area, where I frequently see young cyclists in 'Pogi Team' jerseys training, either alone or in groups. By simply motivating so many young people to take up cycling, Tadej has already achieved something truly significant.Velijo14-11-2026
- That's an excellent point. It's interesting that Vader came to that realization only after he learned that his contract wasn't going to be renewed.
