Track Cycling
Defending his third world title in Paris, Jeffrey Hoogland rode to victory on Friday in the kilometer time trial .The Dutchman beat Melvin Landerneau by one and a half seconds.
The importance of a good night's sleep cannot be overstated for a good performance. Sadly, Hoogland didn't catch up on some beauty rest. "I woke up in the morning dizzy and didn't feel so good," he told NOS.
His schedule is tightly packed for this week, a day before his gold he won silver at the World Cup keirin. "You go so deep here for several days. If you then fall again and get physical discomfort on top of it, it's really not pleasant," Hoogland told NOS.
Continuing his story, he says, "I had my sights set on the kilometre time trial. The legs were good the last few days, and I put everything I had to ride well in the time trial. Everything I did everything right in the final, there was really little that could go wrong. That was a goal, but in the end, we were mainly going for gold. "Hoogland will continue Track Cycling World Championship on Saturday and Sunday, where he will try for another gold.

- I see (elsewhere) that Alaphilippe had more to say than what got relayed in this stub. Me: he was very good early but his latter third trajectory was the pits. His old boss did what he could (huffed and puffed) but Julian couldn't get his greatness back. Sometimes I wonder if crashes that didn't look like much changed the course of the rider.flyer14-11-2026
- I wouldn't classify it as a gift because the nasty consequences of taking it from Sepp would have been great and would persist and he knew it.flyer14-11-2026

- Ok. So just saying he wasn't enjoying racing anymore is some kind of explanation? Me saying I don't enjoy his explanation is more explaining than he did.flyer14-11-2026
- Buitrago, was he their best rider in 2026? He's the chief loss for them and Martinez and Tiberi (especially) have to step up or they will be overtaken by Bahrain's younger riders like Omrzel. I'm still somewhat high on Martinez but Tiberi, after showing signs of promise, has fizzled. Bahrain still has a good team but they need to improve and exceed expectations. I'd be happy if Mohoric could manage to return to his better form for maybe one last year at least.flyer14-11-2026
- Hmmm, "... I just gained 30 seconds purely off the bike. Because it's really a big, big improvement compared to the previous bike". Is that marketing for Specialized or serious valid hype, or something in between? Very likely the former.flyer14-11-2026
- Nothing revelatory or controversial. Why do we have to report on Bruyneel's or Armstrong's thinking. It's a shame and enough that the Move's on TV and that people watch it .flyer14-11-2026
- Makes sense that training from home is a big asset or advantage but it's still remarkable that he can put in three quality majors and not pay some heavy price for the exertion. I wish he would have won that tour stage that his crash while leading allowed Carapaz the win. He's a darn good rider and teammate.flyer14-11-2026
- Sounds like we all agree with the over under exaggeration: "The German’s signing does not guarantee that Evenepoel will win the Tour in 2027. "flyer14-11-2026
- Seixas appears to be that good but if he isn't (an absolute rival to Pogacar) he would have plenty of company in rising stars that did not go on to fully meet the expectations of many. That Pogacar wasn't the greatest (as great) sooner can't be transposed onto another's development. It may be not that simple.flyer14-11-2026
