Marc Hirschi will be swapping UAE Team Emirates for the Tudor Pro Cycling Team in 2025. Before the former Swiss national champion departs the scene however, he is making sure he leaves on a high.
Over the last month, Hirschi has claimed a stage of the Czech Tour plus the general classification win, followed by success at Clasica San Sebastian last time out and now, victory at the 2024 Bretagne Classic on Sunday afternoon after a thrilling and relentlessly attacking day of racing.
"There were a lot of riders who were at the same level, we were all very strong and no one was superior to the others," Hirschi reflected in his post-race interview afterwards. "On the last climb, I told myself that this was my last chance to go and win. I managed to make a small gap and I knew that after that I would have the wind at my back."

- Why do the women CXs keep getting short changed with the length of theor races? They could have easily done another lap to put them at 50 minutes which is their time limit. Yet another CX race where they fail to reach this when they had a chance to. Come on ... the math isn't that hard to figure out lap times and divide into 50 min!frieders318-11-2024
- All pro cyclists are massively underpaid! The amount of riding and physical exertion they put their bodies through is crazy compared to other sports. I can't think of any other sport where you are physically active at a very high level of power output for hours on end each day.Pogboom17-11-2024
- When I was working for Starkist/Heinz my manager quit. So the next week my group was put under another manager. During our first meeting he asked if there was anything we needed to tell him. I said that I would be out the following week on vacation. He said "I don't know if I can let you go on vacation". I replied, "You can't tell if I can go. You can only tell me if I can come back".Sweep17-11-2024

- Pointless reporting. They are rivals, each tries their way to get their best result, with or without collaboration. As long as it’s all fair, why even report riders feelings about such stuff (yes I know, lack of other news). Anyone riding races will go through dozens of moments per race where they get emotional about the way someone else rides or takes advantage or doesn’t collaborate or more, it is natural, it is justified, it is NOT newsworthy!Mistermaumau17-11-2024
