"We followed the same principle as in previous years, which is to say that we took the second division rankings" (Prudhomme, AFP, 31/1/2026)

The 2nd division ranking is clear, behind the 3 mandatory

1. TotalEnergies
2. Rockets
3. Caja Rural
4. Burgos

ASO has two options: honor its word or prove that last year was just an excuse to avoid inviting a better team they don't like.

It's these kind of stages that we miss in the Tour de France nowadays

A 200 km 🗻 mountain stage featuring 4 Category 1/HC climbs and in this case even a small hill in btween too.

Riders can play many tactics in these kind of stages.

#cycling #TDF2027

Dear, 2027 Tour de France GC contenders, please not that stage 21 features the Montmatre climb. If you don’t want to race it, fuck off and ride the Giro or Vuelta.

La super especialización del ciclismo ha sido siempre una milonga. Indurain y su "conformismo" con las generales le hicieron un daño al ciclismo que posteriormente remató Ferrari con Armstrong. Por suerte, Pogačar y compañía no se han tragado ese cuento.

Mañana, ciclismo de carretera UCI, mañana comienza la Vuelta Ciclística Internacional a Guatemala. No hay directos programados, aún, pero en años anteriores siempre se pudo ver, íntegra, en

I don't think they only realized in 2027 that Evenepoel is a better time trialist than Pogacar. I think they've given up on Vingegaard as a contender because previous routes featured long climbs (including almost all the ones where Pogacar lost) in an attempt to give him a chance to perform.
