UAE Team Emirates went all out with it's domestiques to try and create as much damage as possible on stage 9 of the Tour de France. Tim Wellens was a big part of this plan, but the team ultimately couldn't make the difference against a very strong Jonas Vingegaard and Team Visma | Lease a Bike that...

Itzulia Basque Country is a race that will be marked on the 2024 cycling season but for the worst reasons. A crash early in the race saw Jonas Vingegaard, Remco Evenepoel and Primoz Roglic - three of the four Tour de France's main contenders - crash at high speed and Vingegaard suffered massive inju...

The Tour de France has underwent 9 stages so far and the first week has ended. We have seen fantastic stages in the mountains, hills, gravel, time-trial and in the sprints and after all this racing it is Intermarch - Wanty who has surprisingly brought in the most prize money, after Biniam Girmay's...

With wider rubber on display than we've ever seen in the modern Tour de France, are the pros' one-off tyre choices for Le Tour's foray onto gravel more suitable for riding on British roads than regular road bike tyres?

When the route was announced, we all realized that the ninth stage of the Tour de France 2024, with several sections of sterrato, would be one of the most epic of the race. One of the important men in the peloton, Egan Bernal, made it through without any major difficulties. The Colombian rider of IN...

Over the long weekend I spent some time with the Noner:I also tested my voluminous tubulars on a variety of surfaces:Presumably gravel has gotten so trendy that people are now heading north on Citi Bikes in search of it. Im guessing this rider got lost, wandered off in search of a deli, and was never heard from again. Expect this to keep happening until Citi Bike requires riders to tether themselves to their bikes like you do when you ride a jet ski.Not only that, but because it wasnt hot enough here in New York we took a little family road trip to our nations capital, where it was roughly nine hundred and seventy American Freedom Degrees:Despite the heat we had a fantastic time wandering agog through the National Mall like the tourists we were, and if you or anyone in your family is interested in aviation history I would highly recommend the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center, which is well worth the schlep out to Dulles International Airport for its astonishing collection:It was a wonderful trip, and it made me grateful not only for my family, but also to live on this zany patch of land in between Canada and Mexico we like to call the USA:[Mario Cipollini: A great American]Nevertheless, while I try not to get political on this blog, given that we just celebrated July 4th, and I just visited Washington, DC, and its an election year, Im afraid I feel compelled to address a certain elephantand not just any elephant, but one that represents an existential threat to our nation.Im talking of course about scooters:Our great monuments and memorials are moving and powerful, but if somehow the emotional wallop isnt enough to to knock you on your ass then someone on a scooter almost certainly will. Heres a rider who managed to clip my wife as we walked by the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool:And heres what I can only assume is the Croc of a younger, earlier victim who was not so lucky:It was not far from this very spot of course where Martin Luther King, Jr. spoke those immortal words: I have a dream From every mountainside, let freedom ring. So inspiring it was to be hereand yet there was seemingly no escape from the scooter riders, who did their utmost to turn this utopian dream into a Poe-tastic nightmare. Indeed, the only thing they let ring was their bells. Bells, bells, bellsIn the clamor and the clangor of the bells! This behavior also extended to the streets of downtown, where tourists rode two-to-a-scooter on the sidewalk, ordered other people to move out of the way, and rang their stupid little bells at people pushing strollers.So was I wrong about scooters all those years ago?I dunno. Maybe its not so much a scooter problem as it is a tourist problem. The advocates will point out that people wont ride on the sidewalk if they feel safe enough to ride in the street, but its hard to imagine the sort of person who has the temerity to ride through a freaking war memorial is going to be considerate enough to stay off the sidewalk no matter how inviting the bike micromobility lane is. Perhaps not allowing shared scooters downtown is one of the few wise decisions weve made here in New York City in the last 20 years.I coulda done without em is all Im saying.

The bunch won a hard-fought chase against the breakaway in the late stages of the race
