Lidl-Trek will switch to a 🇩🇪 German license next season.

That makes that EF will remain the only 🇺🇸 American team in the World Tour.

After having T-Mobile, Gerolsteiner and Milram in the 2000s, Germany becomes a major financial player in cycling again today.

Red Bull-Bora has many leaders to satisfy next season. Lidl would like to sign a famous German leader for 2027, so it will be important to keep Lipowitz satisfied if they want to extend him. Sending Evenepoel to the Giro could be an option, but the rider himself is not keen on it

Not a bad squad for Caja Rural, next season.

2025 also was already decent for this team. Let's see what they can do next year.

Why the sanctions in cycling hurted 🇷🇺 Russia so little, and why it even had a opposite impact instead?

In this article, you read why discrimination is a bad weapon for peace and how it happened differently in similar cases 👇📖

Wout van Aert took part in a popular TV quiz yesterday in his home country.

Unfortunately, he had to leave the quiz after one episode. He actually lost against the local cycling commentator Ruben Van Gucht in the deciding final.

Did you know that former grand tour winner Denis Menchov has two sons in cycling as well?

His sons Ivan (22) and Alexandr (20) both became cyclists. They are only racing in their native 🇷🇺 Russia for now.

Interesting transfer for both parties.

I believe that she is a rider with still potential to grow further. Lotte Kopecky will focus mostly on the classics again, what makes that Cavallar can step up to take a free role in the mountains in a bigger team now.

Nys winning in a 🇧🇪 Belgian champion's jersey

It's kind of bringing back nostalgia. It's kind of a special story in cycling. Father & son winning World Cups.

Only the Van der Poels managed to do the same.

Sharing passion in the family.

It's concerning how nowadays, international law became just a piece of paper once again

Copy-paste 1938, letting 🇺🇦 Ukrainians pay the prize for it today & hope that you can keep sleeping well in your pretty house

Don't be suprised when the Baltics fall too then 🇱🇹🇱🇻🇪🇪

Lotte Kopecky is having a Winter full of awards again 🏆

She already wins her 6️⃣th)! Chrystal Bike Trophy.

She can also win her sixth Flandrien trophy and her second Belgian Sportswoman of the year award.

Still no Fem van Empel this weekend.

The Worldchampion is out for an undefined amount of time

Ahead of the season, she told that she would mostly abandon road cycling to focus on cyclocross instead, but so far, she only could do 3 races.

Let's hope she'll be back soon

🔎 The local rider to watch this weekend
🇨🇿 Kristyna Zemanova

After a difficult Winter, last season, the 22 years old Czech is back on track for a strong cyclocross campaign.

She will certainly be motivated in the only Czech World Cup of the season.

Another strong rider for the talent stockpile of the UAE.

The talented Milana Ushakova will ride in the team's colours in 2026. A rider with a lot of potential, but the question remains how many chances she'll get in a team full of talented age peers.

Thibau Nys Will ride 🔟 out of 12 World Cups, this season.

He will skip 2 races :
🇮🇹 Cabras : Training camp
🇧🇪 Koksijde : Not his parcours

A decent schedule for the talented rider who combines cyclocross with road cycling for Lidl-Trek

If the IOC still needs to be convinced about snow & ice 🌨️☃️❄️

The Cyclocross World Cup in 🇨🇿 Tabor will probably be ridden on a technical surface, this Sunday. Snow and freezing temperatures are predicted.

Who will have the best bike handling?

Back in the game : Shirin van Anrooij

After missing last season, the Baloise Glowi rider will be back in the sport.

She'll have to start from behind in the pack, but she can take up some valuable points this weekend to improve her position.

In 2026, Lotte Kopecky will mostly focus again on the things that she has been very good at before. No TDF GC ambitions anymore but focus on the classics and stage hunting.

She considers starting her cycling year at the Track Euros 🇪🇺, early February.

Some good sponsor news ✅💰

Novo Nordisk will extend their sponsorship with the team until 2031.

The team gave chances to riders who have been diagnosed with diabetes to live from their sport in an adapted environment. They can do this at least 5 more years now.

Did you know that Lotte Kopecky practiced cyclocross before too?

The former Worldchampion had 2 campaigns of about 5-8 races.

She finished 4th ahead of Van Der Heijden & Norbert Riberolle in Gullegem and won 🥈 at the national championship.

In case you missed it, the UCI eSport Worlds are taking place this weekend.

Despite the predictions, earlier in this decade, the event could never really come close to the attention that other cycling disciplines received.

Nice for the riders, less for the public.
