The off-season is upon the pro peloton however a few riders have made the trip to Asia over for one of the post-season Tour de France criteriums. In Singapore, a few of the world's best were present this Sunday in an exhibition criterium, and the Tour's green jersey Jonathan Milan emerged victorious.
Of course, as a non-UCI event and exhibition race, the results are often planned out before the start, but nonetheless gives cycling fans an opportunity to see their riders on screen in the deep winter period. For the fans in Singapore, it's a once-in-a-year opportunity to see many of the world's best riders, which leads to an exciting atmosphere in the circuit racing that takes place.
In this case it was Jonathan Milan who took the victory ahead of Biniam Girmay and Jasper Philipsen, in a race where the likes of Ben Healy and Primoz Roglic were also headliners and were on the attack.

- There was once a time when Lance was supremely popular and he used his artificial "It's Not About the Bike: My Journey Back to Life" persona to lead his mob in going after Greg. There was no one Lance did not abuse in protecting his phony hero image. Lance promoted himself as a divine megastar and he let down millions of cancer victims and gullible devotees who clung far too long to the charade. Lance is the epitome of a corrupt person and because of his power, many around him, including business enterprises, succumbed to the evil. All who got in Armstrong's way were mercilessly attacked by him and his minions. This remarkably continues today with a new generation. LeMond was a number one enemy and paid a huge price. Who do you think slandered who?Yepperoni03-11-2026

- JV is really slighting himself with not doing the 1 dayers.. 🤷
leedorney02-11-2026 - Watch the interview on youtube. I don't speak French. I do speak English and Spanish and you can hear it in his voice. Years ago LeMond had real personal problems I imagine in no small part because of Armstrong. then Armstrong goes round "full blast" re: LeMond having drinking and drug problems. The same way Andreu was expelled from mainstream cycling so was LeMond. On the positive side the clips of the ride and chatting with old teammates and was good. To seemed like a fun day and experience and good reason brush up his French.atom02-11-2026
- and another no-news article around the ‚2 tokyo jogging rounds‘ headline, this time spiced with some days old ‚news‘ that the LA and japan vacation trips come during or after the tdf route release. i am getting more and more annoyed by this time-stealing no-news crap. but who am i to complain? nobody forces me to come back for more ‚news‘ day after day …Ketterechts02-11-2026
- It would likely be a very steep section of 4.1 km, not changing the average gradient considerably, with the climb remaining 10.1 km at 11.8%. It would reach 20% on the gravel. It would start 1.6 km in, and finish with 4.2 km left to climb (before the short final descent)
