    Matt Stephens on the 2023 Tour de France Route
    Road cycling

    The route for the 110th edition of the Tour de France was revealed today at the Palais des Congrès in Paris and my simple initial conclusion was this: it’s ‘Climby.’ Ok, that might not actually be a word but I think you get my drift.…

    My Personal Highlights of the 2022 Season by Matt Stephens
    Road cycling

    What do Egan Bernal, Tadej Pogačar, Remco Evenepoel, Jonas Vingegaard and Tao Geoghegan Hart have in common? They are all professional cyclists and they have all won a Grand Tour at age 25 or younger in the past three years. And Jai Hindley won the 2022…

    A Few Takeaways from the 2022 Vuelta a España
    Road cycling

    I think it’s fair to describe the Vuelta a España as a theater of the unexpected, and this year’s race was more dramatic than usual. But not from a suspense point of view; the green jersey race was all but over after stage 9 and…

    The Amazing Season of Team Jumbo-Visma
    Road cycling

    Cycling aficionados tend, much less than, say, football fans, to follow the exploits of individual cyclists, rather than teams. The reason is obvious: Football teams have community followings that don’t end when a fan moves to another city or country. A fan of the Chelsea…
