Here’s the pro cycling calendar for 2026, free to download for your diary or phone.
It’s packed with all the men’s and women’s pro road races. So whether you’re scouting for some points-rich 1.Pro race or want to plan some sofa time here are all the races in a user-friendly format.
The Lotto and Intermarché teams are supposed to be merging. Tomorrow is the deadline to submit registration papers to the UCI. It’s reported that Lotto plans to race on, with Intermarché coming over as co-sponsor and bringing some riders and management along too.
With this the Intermarché licence would wither and it’s here that some problems arise because the team has big debts. Can it drop these by swapping the licence over to another team?
Tadej Pogačar attacks on the Passo di Ganda. 12 pedal strokes to open a gap and he’s away with the rest unable to follow. It was the predicted scenario where the advance warning was little use to his rivals.
It’s this Saturday, it’ll be sunny and there’s live TV coverage from the start at 10.50 CEST to the finish at around 5.00pm. These things feel as easy to state as Pogačar is to win, he’s certainly the overwhelming pick for the race.
Cédric Vasseur has been sacked from his role as general manager of the Cofidis cycling team. In comes Raphaël Jeune to the role. We’ll see how long he lasts, because unlike rivals, this is one team that does change management if results are poor.
Jeune has his work cut out because running a team like this is the equivalent of playing Pro Cycling Manager on expert mode, and then more.
Hola ¿que tal? Eurosport stopped as a stand-alone offer a year ago and in its place a year of surfing various channels to watch many races via VPN. Language lessons galore.
The Vuelta a España begins this Saturday and an especially mountainous edition awaits. Jonas Vingegaard is the obvious pick for the win in Madrid, it’ll be interesting to see if a rider from outside of UAE or Visma-LAB can stand on the podium there too.
Here’s a Vuelta a España calendar for your phone or organiser with all stages listed along with a rating for their likely importance to the race or potential for action.
These calendars seem popular for each grand tour. This lists each stage, with the distance plus a stellar rating to indicate the strategic importance or likely entertainment.
If it’s not for you but you’re interested in watching the race note most stages finish around 5.20pm CEST.
Two months of the season to go and here’s a look at the standings in the promotion and relegation race. Things are close at the bottom end of the table with events off the road as well as likely as racing results to impact the outcomes.
Transfer talk, fee payments, mega salaries and managers being fired. No, not the Premier League but Remco Evenepoel and Red Bull this summer. Pro cycling is increasingly taking on some aspects of soccer’s top flight because it is attracting ever larger sums of money.
