Jasper Philipsen won Stage 4 of the 2026 Renewi Tour in a dramatic photo finish against Olav Kooij, reclaiming the overall lead after Soren Kragh Andersen was caught inside the final kilometre in Bilzen.

No other rider has been able to match Lorena Wiebes in the bunch sprints for some time, but the SD Worx-ProTime rider had to work for her third stage win of the 2026 Lloyds Tour of Britain Women. On an aggressive, undulating stage through central Wales, Wiebes did just enough to stay in contention, infiltrating a leading group of seven on the final run-in to Hay-on-Wye which also included race leader Kim Le Court-Pienaar. As the group swelled in the concluding kilometres, Wiebes fended off the challenge of the AG Insurance-Soudal rider in the sprint as she once again won with clear air between herself and her rivals. Movistar's Liane Lippert came through for second place with Le Court-Pienaar in third. With a 24-second lead over Lippert, the Mauritian champion looks to have all-but-secured her first WorldTour stage race victory, becoming just the third African rider in history achieve that feat.The 2026 Lloyds Tour of Britain Women will conclude on Sunday with a sprint stage in Leamington Spa, an opportunity for Wiebes to add to her win tally.Stage four was characterised by two categorised climbs in the final 30km, which were targeted as launchpads for attacks. However, the most decisive split happened due to a crash, as FDJ United-SUEZ Lauren Dickson came down after crossing wheels with team-mate Kate Courtney.The incident meant that around 20 riders were held up, including Le Court-Pienaar. A furious chase and further attacks followed, but in the end it all finished just as Wiebes would have wanted, allowing the Dutchwoman to use her unrivalled sprint to take her 136th career victory.More to come...

Man, there is always a lot to see at MADE, including from component brands like Teravail.It looks like they will be venturing further into offering cockpit options with the release of two new stems. They also were showing some tires inspired by the jorts of MADE. Just kidding. But they do have a unique denim finishTeravail Prototype StemsTraditional typeTop loader(Photos / Ron Frazelle)There were only two on display; there was one that was a more traditional type (above left), and one that was a top loader. I didnt get any details; all the brand told me was that they are prototypes. So, we arent sure when they are coming, what lengths, colors, rises, or clamp size will be available.Traditional typeBut I thought it would be cool for you guys to see what they looked like. I will say, keeping to the brands way of doing things, they are simple and understated in the actual branding. I found the traditional-looking stem to be quite handsome. Im looking forward to what becomes of these bits.Black Wall, Tan Wall, or Denim Wall?(Photos / Ron Frazelle)No. Not really. These are denim printed sidewalls. Teravail was excited to show me this tire. And Im glad they did. I think its pretty cool-looking. As you can see, it really kinda looks like denim. I think its a cool change-up from the traditional sidewall colors. I could see it looking really neat on certain builds.Again, I have zero information for you, as the brand just wanted me to see it. And said I could take photos of it. Not sure if this is a prototype, or when/if it will be available. I dont know what threads or sizes it will be available in either. Sorry, I just got to see it, hold it, and photograph it. I did like it and thought it would be really great for certain bike builds. Teravail crw operates out of Minnesota and traveled a long way to be here supporting the independent frame builder (there were a lot of their tires and wheels on 32 builds at the show, more on that soon) and show their new/upcoming stuff. Check out their selection of great tires and other cockpit goodies at the link below.Teravail.com

Before we were able to dive into the incredible assortment of bicycles awaiting for us at MADE Show, a tiny new tool from Abbey Bike Tools drew us in. OK, it was actually the CNC Machined mini corn hole boards. But then we saw the new tool. OK, OK, there are actually two new tools, but one in particular that seems like its going to have a big impact on the world of bikes. That would be the new Abbey Post Mount Facing tool a diminutive circle of tool steel with precision ground teeth that rides on a bolt with a machined shaft. At this point, there are a number of brake mount facing tools available, but they all tend to be very expensive and complicated. That likely means that most bikes never see a facing tool before theyre out the door to a customer. Where the Abbey tool is different is how it attaches to the frame, and essentially how it is locating the surface to be faced. Most facing tools use an axle-mounted system to ensure that the brake mounts are perfectly square to the axle, so that when you mount the caliper it is parallel to the rotor. The Abbey tool simply uses the threaded hole of the post mount as a guide, and faces the individual post mount so its perpendicular to the threads. The tool can be driven with a socket on a drill, or potentially with a 13mm wrench in situations where you cant fit the drill like a post mount inside a rear triangle.Abbey Founder Jason Quade points out that in manufacturing of the frame and fork, the threads are usually fixtured off the axle for fork building, and frames are usually fixtured off existing threads, meaning most of the time, this method of facing to the threading should yield great results. Jason also mentioned the fact that many of the existing tools have far more moving parts which makes maintaining precision much more difficult. Here there is just a bore and a shaft to machine properly.But hes also honest about the potential flaws in this method. His take? Start here. The Abbey tool is just $65 and will more than likely result in a vastly improved result than an unfaced brake mount. If youre still having problems after using this tool, then you can bust out the $600+ facing tools or more than likely, bring it to your local bike shop who has one. To me, the difference here is that this tool is affordable enough (not to mention extremely portable) that every home mechanic and bike shop should could own one. Brake mounts are often just covered in paint that can shift calipers enough to cause issue in adjustment or cause them to move slightly under hard braking. Its one of those things that most people just learn to live with, but a properly faced brake mount can make a world of difference in brake setup and performance.Admittedly, almost none of the bikes Ive owned or tested have had the mounts properly faced, and an informal poll around the show revealed the same. But there have certainly been a number that have had brakes that have been a pain to adjust properly, or had mounts that were so bad I had to use a file to make them workable. With this tool, there will be no excuse not to quickly face every post mount that comes in for the best brake performance possible. Im extremely excited about this tool, and apparently so are many other mechanics. Abbey released their first batch this week, and they sold out immediately. While the main parts of the tool are machined by Abbey in house, the teeth are ground by another shop in Portland, and then shipped back to Abbey so the production takes a bit longer. The next batch is expected to arrive in late October, so if you want one, keep an eye on the Abbey website before they sell out again. As mentioned, the facing tool itself retails for $65, and if you want the 13mm socket which can be run on a drill (the same one sold for Fox bleed valves), that is an additional $26. To be clear, this will only work with post mounts, not IS or Flat Mounts, and proper RPM for different materials are listed below.
