Tsjechische tiener zoekt wielertoekomst in België - en krijgt een kans bij de ploeg van Geert Smets - WielerVerhaal We schreven het al eerder: het is zeer opvallend dat er dezer dagen in Belgische kermiskoersen voor vrouwen tientallen buitenlandse rensters uit soms exotische uithoeken aan de start staan. In…

Reed opvallend vlot mee in Bambrugge en Izegem. wielerverhaal.com/2025/07/30/t...

Hele drukke lente gehad met andere verplichtingen helaas, waardoor ik het allemaal op een veel lager pitje moest opvolgen. Maar we leven nog :)

Soderqvist Jakob, what a machine!

Vlad van Mechelen is clearly getting closer to his top form in the Tour de Région Wallonne. I'm still expecting him to grab his first pro victory this year.

I'm quite convinced that's incorrect. He was primarily disliked because of his "big-mouthing" and his 'manners', not so much for any of the reasons you’ve mentioned.

Exactly. How does the fact that most of the audience in Paris is white have anything to do with the claim that the general cycling fanbase is "right-wing"? What kind of reasoning is that?

With Nys out of the picture, I’m hoping for a more open race in Durbuy today. Last year, Uno-X executed a textbook strategy to set up Waerenskjold perfectly. I’d love to see Ineos and UAE light up the race this time, but if I had to bet, I’d say Movistar might come out on top tonight, as in 2024.

Voor vandaag wordt het dus al niks !

Wat kan ie niet !

Apologies.

Of course

Ex-wielrenner en kersvers vader Jurgen Van Goolen in coma na zware val Ongeveer drie weken geleden is ex-profwielrenner Jurgen Van Goolen (44), afkomstig uit Aarschot, zwaar ten val gekomen. Dat gebeurde in Calpe, zijn woonplaats in Spanje.

Former professional cyclist Jurgen Van Goolen (44) was involved in a crash last month in Calpe, where he resides. The incident has left him in a coma ever since. www.hagelandactueel.be/aarschot/spo...

Good luck FC, hope it gets sorted out quickly.

Had fun today watching the Baloise Belgium Tour ITT in Tessenderlo. I was seriously impressed by Hayther beating Ganna here. These are my training roads, and the speeds here were mind-boggling

Pretty sure he found some extra watts in the finale today and was able to dig even deeper than usual because of Gino.

Strongest man in the race, even if Paul deserved it as well #DDHH

Yeah, disappointing 😞. Talked to him briefly after the race. He was gutted, too, as a Top 10 was a certainty.

Get well soon Gil. Looked worse for a moment.

Gullegem Koerse We were moving, jumping on everything. And you have to in this type of race—the pro kermesse koerse. The finish is at 50km. It all moves in that first hour. You have to be switched on.

Excellent 1st person reporting from @tomportsmouth.substack.com #Gullegem #Kermesse

Not too surprised to see Fred Wright make the T3 today, especially after how effortlessly he was turning that huge gear yesterday.

2025 Heistse Pijl The 2025 Carrefour Market Heistse Pijl.

Race day in Heist! I’m hoping the rain clears up by the afternoon—and it looks like it might. The start list this year is pretty strong. My pick for the win: Milan Fretin

Fatigue might indeed become an issue, as in an ideal scenario, he should gain some time bonus today as well.

I saw that. A bit too optimistic I reckon. I'd say maybe 10% chance rather ?

He might have half a minute of bonus, but I reckon he'll lose somewhere in between 30 seconds and a minute on the climb. That said, I do think he's a better climber than most people believe—especially in a situation like this.

What are the odds that Fabio Christen wins GC in Slovenia?

Globalisation ! :D

Christen mentioned that Oliveira made contact with him, which is certainly possible, though it's not entirely clear from the footage. The examples in the chart are interesting—though they seem to be a bit more impactful than what we witnessed today, in my opinion.

The rule is highly open to interpretation, mainly because of how the 'AND' is phrased. There's no clear logic: does it mean deviation is only punishable if it also endangers others? Or is any deviation automatically considered dangerous?
