    Here's a couple of examples: Here's Dan Martin talking about their relationship: Dan Martin has explained his 'Punch and Judy' exchanges with Tadej Pogačar on Twitter stem from their first meeting when the then teenager showed up at a UAE Team Emirates training camp - the year before he...

    Nice moment after the finish where Pog took the time to chat to the teen Norwegian rider Jorgen Nordhagen who'd been in the group of four with Pog, youngest in the race and clearly over the moon to have made this elite break and even attacked coming into final straight. Class from Pog. Much...

    Specialized App not recording ride

    I don't think so, but perhaps someone on here has done this and can confirm.

    Specialized App not recording ride

    You probably tried this already - have you deleted the app and got a new version from App Store?

    Aventon Level 4 ADV

    I'm not interested in the likes of Strava, perhaps if I was in my 20s now I would I guess be keen on all the tech & monitoring apps out there. But I'm not winning any races these days. I have no need of marginal gains. I have the Ordanance Survey map on my phone in my pocket so if I get lost or...

    Aventon Level 4 ADV

    Nice looking bike. Aventon are doing a big launch in Europe this year for the first time, with the new flagship Full sus EMTB the Current at a very competitive price around €3,499. The in-house Ultra X motor was developed with Chinese giant Gobao, similar ride characteristics to the Avinox...

    Van Rysel is the in house brand of Decathlon. It's their highest range of road bikes and used by a number of pro teams, the WT Decathlon CMA team (With Paul Seixas - for now!) and also a Continental team called Van Rysel-Roubaix. I'm not sure if you know Jeremy but under UCI rules all team...

    Leige B Leige SPOILERS look away------ Conclusions Pog is Pog, came home alone, 56 seconds back- Seixas looking good, how he goes over 3 weeks and on the monster alpine climbs against Pog or Jonas yet to be discovered but he almost matched Pog here, where no other rider in the race could...

    Agree. I know as a super Dom they tend to get paid well, look at all the INEOS riders over the years, but the careers are so short it must be hard to do that role. So far neither Lipowitz & Remco are down to start in Italy so the road is clear (Jai Hindley & Vlasov as super doms?) It's an...

    Very tasty line up for Leige tomorrow; Pog, Seixas, Remco, Bernal, Vasquelin, Pidcock, Uijdtbroeks, O'Connor, Skjelmose. Second last Monument of the year, last Classics hurrah before Grand Tour Season. The big hard men of Belgium and Holland are packing up their classics kit and getting ready to...

    Great win for young (22) Italian climbing ace Pelizzari. I had to look him up, slipped under my radar but stage winner last year in the Vuelta and 6th GC at the Giro so not shabby. Commentators said this is his first stage race win and it nicely sets him up to challenge at the Giro in a couple...

    Another new TQ motor: hpr40

    It's a North West English accent, he's from the Lake District, Cumbria, (above Liverpool) mixed with his own mannerisms! He now lives in the Basque Country I think. It's very funny watching him interview continental pros as they struggle to deal with Shoddy's accent and quirky humour but also...

    Another new TQ motor: hpr40

    Shoddy Dave (formerly on Velo now with his own, new channel) casts an eye over the BMP Teammachine 01 AMP (TQ40). 9.4Kg top model and corresponding eye watering prices. Tuscany looks as lovely as ever.

    2026 - Our Rides in Words, Photos, Maps and Videos

    I never thought much about those Islands offshore. I do remember years ago reading about John Ford and his yacht and spending time out at Catalina Island playing endless poker games, a young John Wayne (Marion) deck hand making drinks for Ford and his drinking buddies! Do many people live out...

    So Leige this weekend could be the first Pog v Seixas battle, currently both down to start. I still think he is too young for a 3 week grand tour. He'd be one of the youngest ever. Re the cash situ. Agreed. It's buying sight unseen but the desperation to buy a Pog will push the price...

    Paul Seixas at 19 is an animal. Never seen anything like it.
