Jonas Vingegaard Just Won the Criterium du Dauphiné. Can He Win the Tour?

Reigning Tour de France champion Jonas Vingegaard spent most of last week putting the cycling world on notice as he dominated the Criterium du Dauphiné, the long-standing precursor to the Tour.

La Flèche Wallonne preview 2023

La Flèche Wallonne is the filler in the Ardennes week sandwich, sitting midweek between the Amstel Gold Race and La Doyenne (the oldest) Liège-Bastogne-Liège. It may take place on an unassuming Wednesday afternoon (April 19 in 2023, to be precise), but Flèche Wallonne still has earned itself legendary status as a race which has been home to some of…

In the first two installments of Nibali Week, I tried to regurgitate the early stages of Vincenzo Nibali's fascinating career. Maybe it was a bit too much "and then THIS happened!", but with Nibali, it's important to set the context for his crowning achievements if we are to truly celebrate his life's work.

The Two-Man Battle That Could Define the 2022 Tour de France

The Two-Man Battle That Could Define the 2022 Tour de France

Two years ago, a 21-year-old Slovenian named Tadej Pogacar pulled off one of the most dramatic upsets in the history of the Tour de France. With just one competitive stage left and race leader Primoz Roglic ahead by almost a minute, Pogacar put in the time trial of his life to become the youngest Tour de France winner in more than 100 years. That…

Going for gold: Where your money should be for the Amstel Gold Race

The Amstel Gold Race is a different beast these days to what it once was. Until 2017, the entire day centred around the Cauberg. For 260km, the peloton would tour the rolling Limburg countryside, heading up climbs, turning into narrow roads - left, right, left, before hitting the Cauberg. It's a climb that's less than a mile long, not overly steep…

The offseason is rough if you're a climber. Take Carlos Betancur, for example. Talented as he may be with a 3rd at Fléche Wallone, 4th at Liége-Bastogne-Liége, and 5th at the Giro d'Italia last year, he got little but grief this winter. "He's had a few too many empanadas," they all said of the compact Columbian. "He's overweight," was the chorus…
