The Tour Auvergne – Rhône-Alpes 2026 arrives with the feel of a serious Tour de France rehearsal. The rebranded race still occupies the familiar early-June position in the calendar, but the 2026 route gives it a particularly sharp identity: an eight-stage WorldTour race with a team time trial in Perreux, then three consecutive uphill finishes […]

Men’s Liège-Bastogne-Liège 2026 takes place on Sunday 26th April and closes the spring Classics season with the oldest Monument in cycling. It is the race where depth matters almost as much as leadership, because the Ardennes do not simply expose the strongest rider. They also expose which teams can still place support around their leader […]

Men’s La Flèche Wallonne 2026 was won by Paul Seixas after the 19-year-old Decathlon-CMA CGM rider delivered a commanding performance on the Mur de Huy.

Men’s Amstel Gold Race 2026 looks more open than some recent editions, and that is a large part of its appeal. The route still asks the same familiar question through Limburg’s repeated climbs, but the team picture feels a little less dominated by one or two overwhelming forces. Defending champion Mattias Skjelmose returns with a […]

The race opens with a hilly time trial in Bilbao before running through a demanding week packed with climbing, technical roads and the kind of […]

The Men’s Flèche Wallonne has built one of the clearest identities of any major one-day race. It does not have the sheer scale of Liège-Bastogne-Liège or the Monument status of Ronde van Vlaanderen, but it has something just as valuable – a route and finale that almost everyone in cycling can picture immediately. For modern […]

The Men’s Milano-Sanremo 2026 is one of the easiest races in cycling to explain and one of the hardest to predict. It is still the longest Monument, still built around a day of accumulation rather than constant spectacle, and still decided by a final sequence where timing matters more than brute force alone. The Cipressa […]

There are races, and then there is Strade Bianche. No other event in the modern calendar carries quite the same mythological weight per kilometre of road. The Tuscan sterrati, those ancient white gravel tracks winding through a landscape that has barely changed in centuries, have a way of reducing professional cycling to something elemental: grit, […]
