Happy New Year, or Bonne Année as they say at the UCI HQ in Aigle, Switzerland*. A new year has rung in but don’t worry if you missed the party last night although it’s safe to say a share of the peloton will have sunk some beers after the finish of races in Nanning, Utsunomiya and Bassano del Grappa yesterday.
Officially the 2025 professional road cycling season starts today. It’s anecdotal for the most part but there’s one big fix to be done.
