Latest Comments
- Matthews was gracious on the podium, then clearly had more to say afterwards. Hopefully the racing answers the questions rather than more team-manager statements about “data”. Great preview overall, though the Lombardia start-list speculation feels a bit premature.robert6507-10-2026
- - Super hyped for Leeds start for the Femmes. London TTT near the landmarks will be epic telly. Bonne chance à toutes, allez allez!sprocketspiny06-10-2026
- - Slightly worried about weather up north in early July—crosswinds on Stage 1 into Carlisle could cause carnage. Echelons before we even hit France? Yes, thank you.julien06-10-2026
- - Can’t wait! Pogačar will smash the Loze this time. Redemption arc incoming. Vamos Tadej!bikebuffj06-10-2026
- - How do riders transfer from Cardiff to France logistically? Is there a rest day right after Stage 3 or do they race before crossing the Channel?michael5406-10-2026
- -00 CEST stream bookmarked. Please let the Alps include La Plagne. The long drag after Aime is perfect for a late ambush if the GC is tight.robert6506-10-2026
- - Demi vs the clock in a London TTT? Yes please. SD Worx-Protime will be licking their lips. Also love that the Femmes gets headline UK stages instead of just token starts.samanthak06-10-2026
- - Stages 1–3 look great, but five categorised climbs on Keswick–Liverpool feels a bit generous? Those Lake District ramps can bite, but not all of them are proper cat climbs imho.gearguru3306-10-2026
- - Quick question: when they say “team time trial in London” for the Femmes, how long are TTTs usually? And do all riders have to finish together or is it on 4th rider time?jeremya06-10-2026
- - If Granon and Loze are both in, Pogačar will have a score to settle. He’s sharper now at fueling and heat management than in 2022–Could be where Vingo vs Pog gets decided again.cyclechamp4506-10-2026
