I don't think it's a question of being politically correct; it's actually a question of personalities. You can't ask riders to be more colourful or outgoing if it's not their personality. I am not too sure about 'over-commercialising' the sport like the NFL, NBA or Formula 1 (as cycling is one of the few sports that you can watch the world's best cyclists for free with your own eyes just by standing on the side of the road), but I do acknowledge that pro cyclists deserve to be paid much more money, especially when you compare the level of athletic effort involved riding 200KM almost every day for 3 weeks versus the effort of an F1 driver who has never even won a race in their career and still earns millions!20-08-2025 09:20

Stage 8 was incredible! Seismic shift in the GC standings. Watching Pauline and Sarah drop all the other GC contenders on the climb was jaw dropping - clearly in a league of their own!03-08-2025 05:00

Have no illusions. Pogacar did it to save energy. He is not here to make friends (and neither is anyone else). I should note that having good etiquette is different to making friends - waiting for a leader who crashed is good etiquette - you don't become friends just because you waited.23-07-2025 07:50

Apparently there was a headwind. Pogacar got the KOM by over a minute thanks to the Vingegaard leadout hehe...23-07-2025 06:26

Poor attitude from Lance as usual. We cyclists have to deal with that line "maybe cyclists deserve to get hit" from car drivers all the time. Sure the fine is crazy (and is a seperate debate as to whether someone deserves to get hit), but let's not treat human lives like they don't matter just because the victim was at fault.22-07-2025 07:38

I don't understand why they weren't punished? Does someone actually need to get hurt? I bet if they had threatened another car driver, they would have gotten punished.16-07-2025 14:21

The problem here is that the UCI hasn't explained the reason for the deduction. The whole point of such deductions is to make sure riders learn what is unacceptable (using the deduction as a form of 'punishment'). How is Jonathan supposed to learn what he did wrong if the UCI doesn't even tell him what he did wrong?!14-07-2025 14:14

2 stages! Let's go Sarah! So happy for her after what she's been through. Also, thank you for covering this - fastest site (and the only site that I've seen so far) to cover this stage.12-07-2025 15:09

There's a video replay showing Biniam on the wheel of two teammates, and Jonathan tries to cut in but Biniam rightly sticks out his elbow to defend his line, but Jonathan has another go and bumps Biniam off the wheel. It's very weird that Jonathan reacts in such a manner immediately after the intermediate sprint finish line, as if (needlessly) looking for someone to blame.07-07-2025 09:23
