A helmet to remember about the tragedies of war, is a political statement according to the IOC
That they see something that asks for humanity & peace, as something 'political', shows that this organisation clearly forgot about their own Olympic values.

What a ridiculous take by the other sports federations.
If they would have kept their own sport relevant, they could have grown the pie and wouldn't have to be afraid by other sports rising in the hierarchy.
The Olympic values don't apply to everyone, I see.

🇩🇪 Lipowitz is looking forward to spending less time in the spotlight in 2026 after his 2025 Tour 'hangover':
🗣️ “Remco is someone who likes being at the center of attention. That might actually be good for me, because I can focus more on my own work.”

Remco Evenepoel is the first reserve on the startlist of the Tour of Flanders, for Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe.
The rider himself would like to start there, without pressure.
The decision about his participation there will be made after the UAE Tour.
Sanremo is unlikely

In 2014, Fabian Cancellara did a mini grand tour in the Middle East before the classics season
He had a total amount of 16 race days in 🇦🇪 UAE 🇶🇦 Qatar & 🇴🇲 Oman before be started in Strade Bianche
All 3 races had many stars on their line-ups back then

Yulduz Hashimi wanted to take part at the Asian championship but was sent back immediatly on arrival due to visa issues.
Unfortunatly migration is such a mess. People who come on a legal way risk immediate refusal, while people without papers can often stay longer. No logic.

Dominant win by Fouquenet 🏆
What a silly overall for Van Alphen, 2 riders had to literally wait for her to secure her GC, even a rider from another team.
Fouquenet finishes second now in the GC on the same points after winning almost half of the races.

For those who argue that cyclocross isn't international enough for the Olympics.
These are the medal tables of speed skating in 2022 & 2014, dominated by just one country.
I think that cyclocross has more international potential then.

A rider that I expect something from this Spring. She had an excellent classics season, 2 years ago.
After a decent cyclocross campaign and a good breakaway effort today, it looks like she can set another step forward in a free role.

The former Tour de France is not ready yet to make his season debut.
Let's hope he will recover well and can line-up at another race in the coming weeks then.

Always the same. Other teams closing the gaps, keeping the pace high, to let Wiebes win in the end.
They really think that they have more chances to beat Wiebes instead of trying from a breakaway? SD Worx barely has to work even before the final usually now.
