Rouvy returns
I am pleased to reveal that I am back virtually training on the Rouvy platform after testing out MyWhoosh. I am sure it’s brilliant, and many people enjoy it, but it wasn’t for me. After saving for some new hardware, I am now back up and running with my favourite platform and will be reporting on the Giro Challenge shortly.
2026 4 days of Dunkirk - Berges stage start
2026 Men's classics review... (belated!)
The management meeting at the UAE Emirates XRG team early May would have been fascingating to attend. In my head, it played out a little like this… “So Pogi pretty much achieved a clean sweep then?” “Yes, of the monuments, he won Milan San Remo, the Tour of Flanders and Liege-Bastogne-Liege. He also won Strade Bianche again.” “So why is Wout van Aert the fans’ man of the spring time…
- Rouvy + MyWhoosh
Regular readers will note that I have had four winters now riding events and routes on the training app Rouvy. The software worked on my phone and an old laptop that was gifted to me. The power of both devices would not run alternative training apps, so I was tied to the platform. But I was ok with that. I committed to Rouvy, making level 80 in previous weeks and accruing 200k of coins to…
Rouvy early spring stage 3 - Schorrise to Flobecq
In this varied series, stage 3 was the best of the lot. After a route through key Flemish towns which took in neither of their big climbs, this one had more to keep you entertained. Fewer highways, and more back roads with a lot of altitude gain built in. I have had both hardware and software issues in the last week or so, which isn’t necessarily the fault of Rouvy or Van Rysel. But this route…
Rouvy Early Spring Challenge - Stage 2 Geraardsbergen to Ronse
Stage 2 of the Rouvy Early Spring Challenge saw a route between two of the most famous classics hostings towns in Belgium. On paper this seems like a great little route. An hour on the bike with almost 20 miles to cover and 1300ft to climb. And to be fair it was. However… Any route in Geraardsbergen should cover the Muur. This is the second Rouvy Spring challenge route that either hasn’t, or…
The season cyclo cross review !
Cyclo Cross World Cup coming to the UK
After the demise of the Dublin round after a couple of seasons, we have a UK round on 13th December in sunny Glasgow. I hope we have the chance to get behind this and back the event. Although… from where I live down in England, I can get to Belgium more quickly!
Fendirien is back and back to riding on Rouvy...
World Cyclocross course ride through
On board with Puck Pieterse riding alongside Tibor del Grosso. Its going to be a decent weekend of racing !
Le Tour 2027 en Angleterre, Ecosse et Pays de Galles!
The Tour de France and Tour de France Femmes are both going to start in the UK in 2027. This will be the third grand depart of my time watching cycling and fourth time in total if you count 1994’s first week visit to the south coast. I stood on a roundabout in Andover to watch the peloton ‘onion’ around each side of it at high speed. It was a great vantage point having pushed my Grandmother up…
2026 World Tour kits- complete reveal
Ok, so none of them will be as good as last year’s of Lotto 40th anniversary jersey (any excuse to show the picture again, eh! But Domestique Cycling has published their review of the 2026 vintage here. https://www.domestiquecycling.com/en/features/2026-worldtour-jerseys-full-overview/ It’s early days, and I will want to see them in action. But, so far, I have a couple of potential…

Retro Tour of Flanders video on YouTube
The Tour of Flanders is without doubt the best bike race in the world… Granted I have a strong bias. I regularly trawl the internet video sites for coverage and somehow had missed this gem covering the last 45km of the 1986 race. No spoilers. But keep an eye out for Adri Van der Poel (father of Mathieu) Greg LeMond and Sean Kelly. Click here to watch.
Fantasy season review - Velogames
It’s been another busy season playing fantasy cycling on Velogames. If you haven’t you should sign up for free here ( https://www.velogames.com/ ) and be organised ahead of the 2026 season kicking off. The game is brilliant allowing you to pick riders to a budget of 100 credits with the better riders costing more of your budget. You then get points for race wins, stage wing, mountains points,…
Flatter Giro to tempt stars from Le Tour
Today we saw the unveiling of the Giro D’Italia route for 2026, a course that features less climbing and an increased level of TT kilometers. A 40km time trial will appeal to us Brits who have that as a standard distance (although known as 25 miles, of course) along with less vertical meters of climbing. The excellent Domestique website has a much better and detailed analysis than I could…
Some racing to brighten up the off season...
Last week my attention was brought to tv coverage of the De Panne Beach Endurance event for 2025. I was aware of this mad, Dutch and Belgian winter sport but this was my first televisual exposure to it. Basically the race started with hundreds of riders on the beach at De Panne. They lined up on a mixture of cyclo cross, gravel and mountain bikes before being launched off in one go. The race…
