MINNEAPOLIS–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The American pro cycling team Rally Cycling has created an unprecedented glimpse into the lives of professional athletes and support staff in isolation. COVID-19 has upended livelihoods, schedules, and goals with no clear answers. It has forced many to re-think their habits and adjust to new conditions. Like all sports, it brought bike racing to a complete standstill. Unlike other sports, the members of Rally Cycling live all over North America, untethered from a ‘home’ city or training facility. With racing on indefinite pause, the pandemic presented a host of new challenges and opportunities for growth for all of…
The Sibiu Tour began, and the season resumed, with a short 2.5km Prologue through technical, cobbled streets. It was a victory for… well, a whole bunch of lads with truly excellent names. We had Kacper. And we had Iustin. But in first place was Nikodemus Holler. He started early and set a strong time, then torrential rain rolled in and rendered the technical course incredibly difficult to navigate. That’s not to credit Holler’s victory to the weather. It was a fantastic ride, and the biggest win of his career so far. Top Ten 1Nikodemus Holler (Ger) BikeAid0:03:352Kacper Walkowiak (Pol) CCC…
The Sibiu Tour has a new role this year – it’s the first true race back since the sport went on hiatus. And it’s a good year for the race to have found extra importance: this will be its tenth edition. The race takes place in and around the city of Sibiu, encompassing a variety of terrain over its five stages. Curiously, there’s never been a repeat winner of the race – Davide Rebellin and Egan Bernal are probably the highest-profile winners so far, taking their respective wins at the polar opposite ends of their careers. When is It There…

Hey, it’s one we used to broadcast. Is their portmanteau of “cycling” and “classics” charming, or super cringe? It’s kind of Euro-cringe, which might make it cool in the US. A linguistic mullet. Anyway, the Cyclassics Hamburg is canceled due to COVID-19. That’s really too bad. It’s a sprinter’s race that’s been on the calendar for 24 years without interruption, a remarkable run for a race that you basically only need to watch the last five minutes of unless you’re planning on writing a detailed report. Despite the cancelation, it’ll return next year in its usual August time slot. Here’s…
