It's really nice for ๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ‡ท Brazilian cycling to see the development of Tota Magalhaes this year. Both in the ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น Giro & ๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ท #TDFF2026 she was in one of the strongest team mates to support her leader Marlen Reusser. Still only 25-years old, still margin to become even stronger #cycling

Agree on this vision. Most women have on average about 40 race days in a year. That's too little for a sponsor who wants to invest big millions and get good visibility in return. The UCI should start iniatives to expand the calendar in strategic locations. #cycling

โŒ Another ProTeam disappears in 2027 After already having a historical low amount of ProTeams in recent years, now also Flanders-Baloise will disappear from cycling. A great talent project who developed so many WT pros. It's a big hit for Belgian cycling. #cycling

Maybe there are just too many hilly stages and too few mountain stages. In previous years, we saw the same. Multiple stages where the favourites got a break, but they were just waiting & saving energy for the mountain stages in the final weekend. #TDFF2026 #cycling

A lot has changed already. I'm not underestimating rider's obligations. But we are not in times anymore when riders raced 100 days in a year and when they couldn't see family at training camps or full grand tours. A lot has improved already. Other sports are worse off #cycling

At the moment when Kopecky was finished, the pace dropped and there was an opportunity for a late attack. But PicNic & Liv decided to close the gap for Wiebes instead, and then you have this predictable outcome. #TDFF2026 #cycling

Last year there were only 12 riders competing in the young rider classification. Rnner-up Titia Ryo was 14 minutes behind. What made the classification totally irrelevant. So increasing the age limit wasn't a bad thing now. #cycling #TDFF2026

By the way, the #TDFF2026 website says the white jersey is for "riders under 23 years", but the regulations define that as "born in/after 2003". In 2026, U23 are born in/after 2004.

Still can't understand this. He's the leader of the team, the most likely rider to win a stage, wearin the leaders' jersey, but would still give up his chances for Laporte, who he already gifted a whole Ghent-Wevelgem. #cycling

Only 4โƒฃ WWT races after the ๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ท Tour de France Femmes. Perhaps this calendar needs reorganization. Especially if you know that the ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ณ Chinese October races only featured 4-5 WWT teams and even amateur riders, in previous years. #cycling #UCIWWT

โŒ No Tour de France for ๐Ÿ‡ญ๐Ÿ‡บ Blanka Vas too. She already had a very light cyclocross pogram this Winter, but now during the road season she didn't do any grand tour too, after an already stripped down classic campaign. Her last race was in May. #TDFF2026 #cycling

A team that has the luxury to line-up with Elisa Longo Borghini (Legend), Dominika Wlodarczyk (4th last year) and Paula Blasi (Winner La Vuelta). Who will they pick as their leader? Too many strong riders concentrated in one team. #cycling #TDFF2026

It would be nice to see cycling back on the Commonwealth Games again. It was always nice to see this extra championship with famous riders like Geraint Thomas & Grace Brown at the start. It's a shame that road cycling isn't on the program anymore. #cycling

Mads Pedersen scores 333 points of his 502 total points at the intermediate sprints alone. That's 66 %. He had one podium finish in the whole Tour de France. The last similar result in that is Thor Hushovd in 2005 (2 stage podium finishes). #TDF2026 #cycling

With all the illnesses going on at UAE, maybe it could be worth trying for Evenepoel to attack on Alpe d'Huez instead of just following? A crashed out Vingegaard and maybe an ill Pogacar, it could be the only golden opportunity in his career to win the TDF. #TDF2026 #cycling
