What is Rouleur Live?
It is considered one of the most exclusive and influential celebrations of cycling culture in the world. Every year, major cycling stars flock to the event. In the past, Tom Pidcock, Marianne Vos, Lotte Kopecky, and Ben Healy have all shared their stories on stage.
The evenings will also be all about cycling and brands, featuring an exhibition full of unique 'show bikes', custom-built frames, and innovative or high-end cycling brands. Matt Stephens and Hannah Walker will host the evening.
Van der Poel has already been riding on gravel with Ovett this offseason.
Van der Poel brings mate Ovett to Rouleur Live
On November 12, it’s Van der Poel and Ovett’s turn to take center stage at the first of two cycling evenings in London. The show takes place at The Truman Brewery in London's Brick Lane. Tickets cost £30 for one day or £75 for the whole weekend.
"Thanks to our good friends at Zwift and Canyon, Mathieu van der Poel will be joining us," Rouleur announced via its official channels.
For Van der Poel, this is a welcome change of pace during the offseason, which began for him after the Road World Championships in Canada in late September.
Since then, we've seen Van der Poel running and riding his gravel bike, but he still hasn't made a decision about the 2026/27 cyclocross season. Perhaps he will give some more details at Ruler Live.
Taylor Phinney will recount his comeback at the 2026 Rouleur Live
Phinney has made an impressive comeback in 2026. The 35-year-old Colorado native retired from the pro peloton in 2019, but announced earlier in the year that he was targeting the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles.
Phinney started out as a track rider, so to made his comeback in the team and individual pursuit. However, he didn't get off to a great start, failing to qualify for the medal races at the UCI Track World Championships in October 2026.
Better known for a long time as 'Mrs Kasia Niewiodoma-Phinney', who is also a guest at Rouleur Live, Phinney will undoubtedly have many stories to tell in London.
