Watching the peloton - Professional Road Racing thread 2026

As Jeremy highlighted above, great line up for the renamed the Dauphine ( Tour Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes - shame to have such a well known big race with new name) Startlist now full up, very juicy indeed! For this practice race for the Tour.

Tour Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes

It looks to be a battle between the best domestiques, second tier sprinters, and Seixas.
 
Congrats to Ben Oliver and the Modern Adventure team for winning the Tour de Wollonie. He came from behind in the final sprint, got by DeLie and took the final stage for the GC win. Next up for MAP is the Tour of Slovenia, another 5 day ProTeam race.
Saw Sam Bennett was back on the bike in the Heylen Vastgoed Heistse Pijl one day race (try saying that with a mouth full of milk!) he finished near the back but I'm glad to see him racing. They found a heart issue last autumn so his future was/is in doubt. Too early to say if he'll keep going but at least he's trying. He's now with Q36.5 but obviously hasn't been racing.
