Mathieu van der Poel and Marianne Vos took advantage of bike-handling skills they honed on different racing surfaces to win this weekend’s UCI Gravel World Championships.
Even by his own unearthly standards, Tadej Pogačar’s victory in Sunday’s Elite Men’s Road Race World Championship was exceptional. Starting his attack with 100 km to go in the 273.9 km race, the 26-year-old Slovenian turned the race on its head and left defending world…
Everybody expects Tadej Pogačar to win Sunday’s Elite Men’s Road Race World Championship, and he probably will. The 273.9km course is the longest Worlds road race circuit in 36 years and, with its 4,400m of climbing, it suits him to a T. And he is…
In Saturday’s Olympics road race, Remco Evenepoel will have a chance to accomplish something that has never been done before: win both the Olympics time trial and the road race in the same year.

Sunday’s prestigious Monument, the Liège-Bastogne-Liège, is the last of the season’s Ardennes Classics and the oldest of them all as it will be celebrating its 110th birthday this year. So it’s only right that it will pit arguably the two best road racers on the…
This has been a spectacular 2024 so far for Alpecin-Deceuninck: 10 race victories since the young Axel Laurance won stage 2 of the Etoile de Bessèges on February 1. Those victories include Milan–San Remo, the Classic Brugge-De Panne (both by Jasper Philipsen), the E3 Saxo…
