Hi all! Thought I’d create a list of people / teams etc to follow for the UK National Cycling Scene!

If there is anyone I’ve missed let me know.

Herne Hill South London GP was amazing! Watching track cycling at the velodrome is probably the best experience you can get as a spectator.

Took the camera as usual and got some amazing pics. Instagram for them (or my website for all of them).

Was tough but here are my favourite 4…

Went to a bike race for the first time in a while!

Was really good fun and also got some really good pics which is always a bonus.

Insta for the top 10: www.instagram.com/p/DNxgwT4UO1...

Website link for all the pics.

My Velogames team for the Vuelta...

All in on Visma and Ineos...

Jonas will win easily, Jorg should be a podium - top 5 at worst candidate (and is way too cheap).

Ciccone, Bernal and Landa are wildcards but should be decent GC and stage results.

Visma breaks + assist points (hopefully)

So who's starting the Florian Lipowitz to Ineos rumours or am I?

No brainer from either side... Lipowitz won't have a mega contract (like Ayuso) to break and only has a year (or two) left on his contract.

He'll never lead the TDF with Remco there and he's just came 3rd on his first attempt.
Remco Evenepoel leaves Soudal Quick-Step for Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe 🇧🇪

The Belgian rider has broken his contract and will change teams for 2026

Obviously 31.9% could potentially say the same thing but lost out of potentially winning - but that's part of the fun.

Would have swapped out ELB (0 points) and Le Net (122) for Le Court (912) and Labous (531) which is 1331 point net loss... or in other words almost 400 points over 1st place. :(

Is PFP the Goat?

Is winning TDF GC along with everything else across every discipline take her over Vos?

28th in the world (out of almost 30k!) is pretty insane!

Almost the perfect team!

Riders with the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 7th, 8th most points is an insane core that I built the rest of the team off.
44th overall! I suspect I might also go up even more once the overall standings is added.

1st, 2nd, 4th, 7th and 9th on GC.

2nd, 3rd, 4th and 9th on Points.

1st, 2nd and 9th on KOM too.

Why is Longo Borghini riding at the front of the UAE train?

Last minute team change due to Reusser illness (hopefully it's a mistake to remove her).

The Velogames team for TDFF…

6 GC candidates… expecting all 6 to be in the top 10 GC. Vollering is too expensive with a lot of podium candidates that you want as many as possible…

Le Net for Vollering assist points 👀
Koerner and Valliefor UNO-X / EF assist points while being having sneaky good 👀

If every day it rained and was 10c... Arensman would win the TDF.

With the power of Ineos and Total Energies backing him, he's got the right backing to create climate change.

The moment I've been waiting for!

109th overall too!

Tomorrow, Stage 20 and 21 will be the big days in terms of make or break. Fred Wright, Lewis Askey, Harry Sweeny and Bini in the break tomorrow would be ideal.
July 22, 2025 at 9:04 PM
2nd Rest Day Recap: 200th overall!

1st (Pog), 2nd (Jonas), 4th (Onley), 7th (Kevin will be 5th after next stage), 10th (Healy) and 12th (Bini) riders all in my team!

I underestimated how hard the versatile sprints would be with Wright and Askey not having any chances.
July 20, 2025 at 9:29 PM
Boo! Healy and EF protecting 9th 😂
Who had Carlos Rodriguez as Mr GC Raid?

3rd breakaway in the last few days…

Not sure if others are aware of this or not, but great recaps / aggregation of really interesting articles and results each week. As well as races to look out for in the coming week.
WCW is out! perfect for if you've been struggling to keep up with the Giro among all the tour action
The battle continues
+ it's raining, it's pouring

Velogames team reveal…

Pog + Jonas as only two riders who can win TdF.

Onley + Vauquelin 2nd and 3rd at TdS & Healy. Sneaky top 10 GC / KOM contenders and all should win a stage from the break.

Girmay, Wright and Askey as sprinters. All should be breakaway contenders as hilly sprints.

A really good article with team insight on the impact of the new ruling about WT and Pro Conti teams only for WT races.

TOB needs WT status to get the teams to enter but WT status means that no British Conti team can enter.

Should be WT, Pro Conti and National Conti teams.

Well I have 3 EF Riders in my team now… might take it 2 just for the sake of it.

Powless vs Watson…
Riders I love for 4c:
- Jungels
- Sweeny

Riders I like for 4c:
- Haller
- Theuns

Could have made an argument that FDJ and Unibet are two separate entities … there is no possible argument that FDJ United and Unibet are two separate entity with Unibet being a subsidiary of Kindred Group which is subsidiary of FDJ United. (FDJ is a subsidiary of FDJ United)

More fun for the UCI…
Groupama-FDJ ➡️ Groupama-FDJ United

The french outfit replaces FDJ with FDJ United and adds Districlos as an extra sponsor for the remainder of the season.

False alarm! Sepp Kuss saved Seixas’ career 😂
Seixas is about to ruin his career by being the rider who brought back Bardet in his final chance of winning…

Pog-Jonas might be a must start combo at TDF Velogames !!!
