CyclistPinarello focus: WilmslowThe Cheshire town of Wilmslow is home to one of Pinarellos flagship stores, stocking a full range of the Italian brands bikes alongside accessories and apparel. With the shop well known for providing expert advice and impeccable customer service, and being situated within riding distance of some of the nations finest roads, Cyclist sat down with Pinarello retail stores manager (and ex-World Championships-level racer) Margaret Herety to find out what makes the Pinarello store in Wilmslow such a must-visit destinationThe ideal locationWere located in the heart of Cheshires golden triangle, a sought-after area thats home to many domestic and WorldTour professionals, Herety tells us.From the shop, you can ride out to some beautiful lanes, get out onto the Cheshire plains to ride on the flat, or because were right on the edge of the Peaks you can also find more challenging routes. Wilmslow is quite a hub for cycling, and there are lots of clubs.Building a communityWe host rides from the shop that everyone can join. Saturdays is a no drop ride. Were trying to build on the fantastic cycling community we have up here. We make sure everybodys welcome you dont even need to ride a Pinarello.We had a new guy come and join us this week and when he got back to the shop afterwards for coffee and doughnuts, he was just so happy; he told us wed really made him feel welcome and said hed be coming again. We also had our first women-only ride at the beginning of June.Broaden your horizonsPeople sometimes look at a Pinarello store and assume that everything will be expensive. I recently spoke with a customer in the store who said he couldnt afford anything, and he was really surprised when I told him the endurance geometry X-series starts at around 3,000.PinarelloWere a friendly bunch. We wont bite your head off and we dont treat anybody any differently, whether they come in wearing an Armani suit or work boots and a hi-viz jacket. Because we attract a range of customers, we sell a much broader range of bikes.Universal serviceAlthough were Pinarello specialists, we will service almost anything. Well look after anybody who walks in off the street. A woman came in the other day whod been out for a ride with her little boy when his gears stopped working. We fixed it on the spot and he was over the moon to get his bike back.We also offer a bespoke building service for Pinarello Dogma models. You can choose your own colour and build a bike from scratch the wheels, the groupset, pretty much anything on the bike can be specified. Plus we offer a bike-sizing service, where our in-store expert will make sure you have the correct frame size, saddle height and handlebar and stem size.Women lead the wayI was basically born on a bike my grandad started my familys own bike shop more than 100 years ago so to be leading the Pinarello team at Wilmslow is really rewarding.We have a young salesman on the team, for instance, and I love seeing how hes flourished, and I love seeing the workshop get so busy. Im so proud of how theyve all done and how passionate they are about cycling. And Im also proud of how the shop looks people are blown away when they walk through the door.

CyclistWhat if Euro 2024 was decided by cycling?Euro 2024 has finally arrived. The beer gardens are filling up, the big-screen TVs are being dusted down and a summer of football awaits. This year, the tournament heads to Germany, with Italy as the reigning champions.You may be asking Why are you talking about football on a cycling website, Ewan? Well, thats a great question. Today, were turning the tables and deciding Euro 2024 through cycling performance.For this, we take all the qualifying nations from the European Championships of football this year and pick out their star riders. We then place them head to head, from the group stage all the way to the final. We will compare the nations GC strength, depth and all-out pace to decipher which team would win a Euro 2024-style road cycling tournament. Related Posts Every Tadej Pogaar Monument performance ranked Every Mathieu van der Poel Monument performance ranked What style of football player was Remco Evenepoel and why did he quit football? Tour de France history: The return of the trade teams in 1962 Mens Tour de France 2024: Route, how to watch and all you need to know Group A: Germany, Scotland, Switzerland and HungaryDario Belingheri/Getty ImagesGroup A is a cakewalk for the Germans. The hosts are held up by a backline including Nico Denz, Nils Politt, Lennard Kmna and Max Walscheid. And never count out all-rounders Maximilian Scachmann and Emanuel Buchmann. The sprinting pedigree in Germany isnt quite as solid as it used to be. We are missing the old names of Marcel Kittel and Andr Greipel from around ten years ago coincidentally the last time the Germans took home the football World Cup. These days Die Mannschaft has to rely on pace from the likes of Pascal Ackerman and Phil Bauhaus. Could be better, could be worse.As for Scotland, the two-wheeled Tartan Army has only a handful of professional riders on the mens side. Like John McGinn, Scotland can rely on Oscar Onley in the mountains. The man from the Scottish Borders has already claimed a UCI WorldTour stage win and just claimed a top ten at the Tour de Suisse. An English-born Scotsman, Tao Geoghegan Hart is the Scott McTominay of the Scottish cycling XI.The Swiss provide some decent opposition. The time-trialling talismen of Stefan Kng and Stefan Bissegger provide some real strength against the clock. Marc Hirschi is returning to some form after his blistering Indian summer in 2020, and Silvan Dillier always proves a reliable rouleur. Overall, the Swiss punch above their weight much like the national football team.The Hungarians round out Group A. The nation played host to the Giros Grande Partenza back in 2022 but doesnt have many pro cyclists. However, Attila Valter of Visma-Lease a Bike holds the fort in the hills. There is a lack of strength in depth beyond Barnabs Pak and Mrton Dima, who both fell out of the UCI WorldTour in recent years. The men in red will struggle to leave the group stage.Final group standings:GermanySwitzerlandScotlandHungaryGroup B: Spain, Croatia, Italy and AlbaniaAlex Broadway UCI - Pool/Getty ImagesSpain have history and pedigree in both cycling and football. Recently, Spanish hopes in both sports have been pinned on a new generation coming through. On the road, this comes down to Carlos Rodrguez and Juan Ayuso. Oier Lazkano has real potential in the Classics though climbed surprisingly well at the Dauphin and Pello Bilbao has an energy similar to Spanish star Xavi. No doubt, Spain are strong and should go into this cycling tournament as a favourite.Croatia have been missing from the top level of cycling for a while. Robert Kiserlovski provided some hope in the 2010s, managing to slip into the top ten at a couple of Grand Tours. Since then, there has been little success. Bahrain Victoriouss 21-year-old talent Fran Miholjevi is a glimmer of hope, but Croatia struggle to come near Italy and Spain.Italy, as mentioned, are a force to be reckoned with in cycling. Like in football, theyre spoilt for choice. Unlike their defensive footballing style, the Italians in cycling are front-loaded in the mountains and the sprints. Jonathan Milan is a born finisher, and at his towering two-metre height, itll be hard to wrestle the ball off him. Giacomo Nizzolo and Damiano Caruso provide a Bonucci/Chiellini throwback, but Italy have talent in every domain. Antonio Tiberi proved that he can work as a GC leader at the Giro, and Filippo Ganna is one of the worlds most talented bike riders.Now to Albania one of the weakest European countries in cycling with sparse representation in the sport. That said, Eugert Zhupa rode four Giri dItalia. He was incognito however, failing to crack the top ten of a stage at any of those races. All in all, Albania are set to get hammered.Touted as the group of death at Euro 2024 this summer, Group B is tough to predict. In a head-to-head, theres not much to separate the two nations. However, with the class of the Italians in all domains, the Azzuri have to go through as the winners of the group.Final group standings:ItalySpainCroatiaAlbaniaGroup C: Slovenia, Denmark, Serbia and EnglandDario Belingheri/Getty ImagesChaos erupts at the cycling Euro 2024 in Group C. The opening match sees Slovenia and Denmark take each other on. This would be a match to end all matches, with Vingegaard and Pogaar battling it out. This is the Mbapp vs Messi grand finale of match-ups.Lets take a look at Slovenia first. The nation has some real stars, of course with Tadej Pogaar as the frontman. In some respects, Pogaar is the Erling Haaland of the team, standing out among a sea of decent players, with the support of Martin Odegaard in the form of Primo Rogli. The new Bora-Hansgrohe leader can be utilised in a lethal double act upfront, making sure to net countless goals. Though with that comparison would they even qualify for the Euros? Of course they would. While Rogli is more about scoring tap-ins and taking solo glory than assisting his team, lets not overlook Matej Mohori. The Milan-San Remo winner is reliable, tactically astute and measured. Add to that a pair of workhorses in Jan Tratnik and Domen Novak and Slovenia are clearly a strong side, though have their limits.Denmark on the other hand are well-rounded with talent. Vingegaard is a playmaker. Mads Pedersen is an absolute rock within the team. Mattias Skjelmose adds some flare in the mountains. Magnus Cort, SrenKragh Andersen, Kasper Asgreen and Mikkel Bjerg deliver a steel ring in a back four that can score for themselves.The three lions arent quite as strong as they used to be in cycling. Chris Froome has declined, but the Yates twins now lead the English attack. The brothers are solid, with Adam shining more in recent years. Tom Pidcock is a Jack Grealish figure who can provide other-worldly moments, but may otherwise appear underwhelming.Fred Wright is a solid player but struggles in front of goal and Ethan Hayter takes the Trent Alexander-Arnold role of being an attacking asset that mostly plays at the back of the group. Jai Hindley has a British father so he could declare for England in this fictional world and add an extra hand up top. Serbia is another Balkan country bare of recent success. Dusan Rajovic is the only Serb on the UCI WorldTour, but he sadly cant carry the hopes and dreams of the Yugoslav hegemon.Final group standings:DenmarkSloveniaEnglandSerbiaGroup D: Netherlands, Austria, France and PolandUCI CyclocrossThe Oranje possess some world class talent all over the park. Fabio Jakobsen and Dy,an Groenewegen may not be the best of buddies, like Diogo Jota and Christiano Ronaldo at the last World Cup for Portugal, but their talent cant be overlooked. Thymen Arensman and Wilco Kelderman are strong in the GC field, but the man to watch here would be Mathieu van der Poel. The Belgian-born Dutch engine would undoubtedly nutmeg and rainbow flick everyone on the pitch, and could prove to be a game changer on the big stage. When the floodlights are on, Van der Poel dominates.Austria has risen in cycling stock in the past decade.Felix Groschartner and Patrick Konrad lead the GC charge, Marco Haller is an underrated rider, and Felix Gall has been climbing up the ranks over the past 12 months. Overall, the Austrians would have a good shot at getting out of the groups if it werent for the strong opposition.Cyclings coming home would be the chant heard from the terraces of French fans. Hosts of the worlds biggest bike race, France offer talent across the board. David Gaudu and Romain Bardet are stalwarts of the GC game at this point. In sprinting, Arnaud Dmare and Bryan Coquard are just as experienced on the world stage and can inject some pace into this French lineup. Julian Alaphilippe would be equally swashbuckling on the pitch; hed be sure to stir up crazy headlines and pull some iconic faces as he aims to roll back the years for Les Blues European conquest.Poland round out Group D with some respectable names. Micha Kwiatkowski acts as the cycling Lewandowski here. He sometimes underwhelms when the pressures on but he has some real quality in his back catalogue and can occasionally still turn it on for his team. Rafa Majkas name also harks back to this Polish golden generation of the 2010s, but hell be relied on to do the business here. That said, the squad lacks depth, even if Cofidiss Stanisaw Aniokowski can rush in to help.Final group standings:NetherlandsFranceAustriaPolandGroup E: Belgium, Slovakia, Romania and UkraineBelgium is like the Brazil of cycling: historically strong, passionate and disciplined. Fielding an 11-man team for them is a real challenge, but the stars speak for themselves. Remco Evenepoel was, in fact, a football player in his youth. He was scouted for Brussels-based Anderlecht and played in the Belgian national youth team as a young teenager. He will be the totem of the squad. Further down the starting XI, Tim Wellens would be a wise statesman and Tiesj Benoot a run-around midfielder. Jasper Philipsen will be a speedy striker for the squad and Jasper Stuyven could rise to be a boulder in the defensive midfield. Of course, Wout van Aert will prove to be the cycling reincarnation of prime Thomas Mller.Without Peter Sagan, Slovakia is missing a star. Hopes will be pinned on rising star Martin Svrek of Soudal-QuickStep in the former world champions absence.Romania echo cyclings Balkan void. There hasnt been a Romanian on the WorldTour in years and this doesnt look like itll change anytime soon. Grosu and Tvetkov have ridden at top races in the past, but they are only getting older by the year.Unlike Romania, Ukraine has been more present at the UCI WorldTour level. This is no Ukraine of old, however, with Corratec duo Mark Padun and Andrii Ponomar taking the lead. As monstrous as Padun was for a week in 2021, I do not expect the men from the east to push through into the deep phase of the tournament. In this weak company, however, I do suspect that Ukraine budge through courtesy of their former WorldTour riders.Final group standings:BelgiumUkraineSlovakiaRomaniaGroup F: Turkey, Georgia, Portugal and the Czech RepublicDario Belingheri/Getty ImagesAlways the strong underdogs in football, Turkey do not garner the same reputation in international cycling. The nation may play host to a semi-major stage race, but Turkey should not expect to advance in this cycling knockout. Ahmet rken, the nine-time national champion is the only name that springs to mind, but he is far from a household name.My cycling knowledge is being tested with Georgias cycling history too. The country were heroic in making their way to the real football Euros, but theres no wonderkid Khvicha Kvaratskhelia in their two-wheeled setup.Portugal is the only nation in this group to win a Grand Tour. For that, they have a star by their name. JooAlmeida is the obvious standout name here these days. The UAE Team Emirates rider is a diesel engine on the pitch who can run around for 120 minutes if he needs to. The Oliveira brothers and the young Antonio Morgado add depth to the Portuguese lineup that look set to walk over the weak opponents in this final pool of nations.The Czech Republic also have some history at the top level. Zdenk tybar has flown the Czech flag in recent years but nowadays Jan Hirt, who recently reached the top ten in the Giro, stands out in the lineup. Mathias Vacek is a real talent bursting through at Lidl-Trek, but this Czech team needs time to grow.Final group standings:PortugalCzech RepublicTurkeyGeorgiaThird Place runoffThe European Championships of football provide a second chance for eliminated groups to make the round of 16. For this, the third-placed teams are ranked based on their performance in the group stage and the top four progress. With that noted, we deduced that England, Austria, Scotland and Slovakia should make their way into the knockout rounds.EnglandAustriaScotlandSlovakiaCroatiaTurkeyThe round of 16Dario Belingheri/Getty ImagesAfter the gruelling group stages, we are left with 16 nations. This is where the knockout format begins. Its simple, if you lose, youre out. For this round, well rattle through the results (Bold indicates winners of each match),Germany v Slovenia: Slovenia take an easy victory. Pogaar and Rogli are too strong for the German unit.Switzerland v Spain: Spain has climbers in abundance. No Swiss time-trial engine can make a Grand Tour podium, sorry.Italy v Scotland: As much as Tao Geoghegan Hart tries to make a difference, the Scots get steamrolled by Italys passione.Denmark v Austria: I mean, Jonas Vingegaard. Thats all I need to say.Portugal v England: Adam Yates certainly does not hold back when up against his Portuguese trade teammates. Netherlands v Ukraine: The Dutch have many WorldTour riders. Ukraine currently has none.Belgium v Slovakia: Sagan watches on as his national team gets thumped by an in-form Remco Evenepoel.France v Czech Republic: Vacek lives up to the wonderkid hype, but France have that old-fashioned grinta in them.The quarter-finalsBas Czerwinski/Getty ImagesSlovenia v ItalyThis tussle between the Adriatic nations is quite the battle. Slovenia has its star frontline of Pog and Rog but the Italian depth prevails once the likes of Novak and Tratnik are picked apart by Ganna, Milan and co. Gianni Moscon gets a red card, but thats not enough to turn the tide.Its a hard one to call, but I give this one to Italy by a whisker. The Slovenian golden boys have to go shore up their defence if theyre going to make it all the way at the 2026 World Cup.Result: Italy winEngland v NetherlandsEngland take on the Dutch in a feisty quarter-final. To me, the Dutch have the edge. Englands GC lineup is stronger, but the Dutch sprinters, Classics riders and puncheurs respond to the Yatess attack. The men from the home of football are sent home and hooliganism rears its ugly head as England fans brawl with the Dutch late into the night. The orange-clad fans have the last laugh, they make it through.Result: Netherlands winBelgium v FranceA replay of the iconic 2018 World Cup semi-final, Belgium v France would be a fierce battle. However Wout van Aert pulls out a real performance and Belgium score some worldies, Evenepoel outclasses David Gaudu and Romain Bardet, and Dmares pace is no match for Jasper Philipsen. Belgium pick apart France on all terrain, from the mountains to the time-trials.Result: Belgium winSpain v DenmarkDanish starboy Vingegaard breaks through any Spanish competition and he outperforms the youth of Rodrguez and Ayuso. As the football clich goes, Vingegaard can do it on a rainy night in Stoke. Lazkano shines in opposition, but he cant hold off the Danish boys on his own. Its a convincing Danish win.Result: Denmark winThe semi-finalsDario Belingheri/Getty ImagesItaly v NetherlandsItaly were lucky to defeat Slovenia in the quarter-finals, but here they are outclassed by the Dutch. Milans menacing speed is matched by Jakobsen and Groenewegen, who decide to finally get their act together and work as a team. Arensman outshines Caruso and Tiberi while Matteo Trentin and Alberto Bettiols Classics legs are humbled by the phenom Mathieu van der Poel and his lanky teammate Dylan van Baarle.Result: Netherlands winBelgium v DenmarkThe high-morale Scandinavians meet their match in Belgium. Vingegaard has proved time and time again to be stronger and more reliable than Evenepoel, but Mads Pedersen struggles to match the Swiss army knife of Wout van Aert.This match-up goes to penalties and its Jasper the Master who scores the winner.Result: Belgium win on penaltiesThe finalBelgium v Netherlands(Photo by Rob Pauel/BSR Agency/Getty ImagesThe Dutch-speaking rivalry returns for one last showdown between the two countries bare of any mountain peaks.Belgium pull ahead as Evenepoel whips out one of his world-class performances to deny the Dutch any sniff at glory. Wout van Aert claims the Man of the Match award, even if he was outgunned by the high-pressure performer Mathieu van der Poel, who takes home the golden cleat.Tim Wellens lifts the trophy and Belgium becomes the champions of Europe even if they havent won a cycling European Championship road race title since the event was revived ten years ago.Result: Belgium wins Euro 2024 Related Posts Every Tadej Pogaar Monument performance ranked Every Mathieu van der Poel Monument performance ranked What style of football player was Remco Evenepoel and why did he quit football?

Yatess teammate Joo Almeida sat second on the general classification and the pair remained there for the rest of the eight-day race.Yates cemented his lead on Stage 5 after a strong performance from his squad set him up for a late attack in the final kilometre of theCategory 1 climb to the finish in Cari, finishing just ahead of Almeida. The positions were switched the following day as Almeida won ahead of Yates after heavy snowfall resulted in a shortened stage. They switched back once again on Stage 7 for another 1-2 led home by Yates.And on the final stage yesterday? You guessed it a fourth successive 1-2 as Almeida won the 15.7km mountain time-trial to Villars-sur-Ollon, eight seconds clear of Yates. Its a clear marker of how strong UAE Team Emirates will be at the upcoming Tour de France. Led by Tadej Pogaar after his Giro dItalia victory, the team will have Yates and Almeida next to him in a formidably strong line-up.Giro Next Gen starsGiro Next GenThe Giro Next Gen, or Baby Giro, gives under-23 riders a taste of the Giro dItalia and the 2024 edition was won by Jarno Widar (Lotto Dstny Development Team), 52 seconds ahead of Pablo Torres (UAE Team Emirates Gen Z).Widar and Paul Magnier (Soudal Quick-Step Devo Team) shone throughout the eight-stage race. Magnier would take over the general classification with his victory on Stage 2, a 107km ride to Saint-Vincent. A fierce attack by Widar in the final kilometre to the summit finish on Pian della Mussa on Stage 3 resulted in the Belgian swapping the white youth jersey for the maglia rosa for the remainder of the race. Magnier lost 11 minutes on the day to see his GC hopes evaporate but continued to sit top of the points classification and held the maglia ciclamino until the end of the race.In what feels like deja-vu after Yates and Almeidas efforts in Switzerland, Magnier would sprint to victory on Stage 4 then Widar claimed Stage 6 in its mountaintop finish in Fosse. British rider Matthew Brennan (Visma-Lease a Bike Development) won the final stage with a fast sprint finish after a leadout from teammate Pietro Mattio.Ben Healy breaks away for final stage victory at Tour of Slovenia View this post on Instagram A post shared by EF EducationEasyPost (@efprocycling) Ben Healy is back and hes got a new haircut. The Irish national road race champion, now sporting short blonde hair kicked away from the front group in the final 3km of the fifth stage of the Tour of Slovenia and while his competitors always had him in their sights they couldnt reel him back in.It was touch and go, though, especially when what was left of the group behind was absorbed by a speeding peloton in the final 500m, but Healy was able to hold on to finish six seconds clear of Alexander Kristoff (Uno-X Mobility). Giovanni Aleotti (Bora-Hansgrohe) won the race overall with Pello Bilbao (Bahrain Victorious) second and 2024 Giro dItalia favourite Giulio Pellizzari (VF Group-Bardiani CSF-Faizan) third.Healy will try to defend his Irish road race title before likely making his debut at the Tour de France.
