For the last decade, the starting line of any respectable endurance cycling event has been a sea of middle-aged dentists nervously adjusting their carbon fiber bottle cages. But if the latest corporate data dump is to be believed, that demographic is about to be violently overthrown by a wave of twenty-somethings armed with Action Cams and an insatiable need for digital clout. According to the newly released 2025 Endurance Industry Report from Haku, Gen Z participation in endurance events has skyrocketed by a staggering 33 percent. They aren’t just showing up, either. The report reveals that this new generation is…

If you wanted a quiet, predictable day of racing, Stage 4 of Paris-Nice was absolutely not for you. What was supposed to be a standard transition into the hills devolved into complete chaos almost immediately after leaving Bourges. Crosswinds shredded the peloton, crashes eliminated the race leader, and Jonas Vingegaard ultimately rode away from everyone while wearing his bib shorts on the outside of his jersey. Yes, you read that right. We’ll get to the fashion choices in a moment. The Carnage Before the Climbs The script for this stage was completely ripped up at kilometer zero. Brutal crosswinds instantly…

There is a fine line between a challenging bike race and a televised demolition derby. On Tuesday afternoon, the organizers of Tirreno-Adriatico decided to thoroughly blur that line by sending the peloton over wet Tuscan gravel, setting the stage for Mathieu van der Poel to do exactly what he does best: thrive in absolute chaos. He survived a brutally slick finale to win a three-up sprint in the medieval streets of San Gimignano, edging out UAE Team Emirates-XRG’s Isaac del Toro and Red Bull-BORA-hansgrohe’s Giulio Pellizzari. Carnage on the Sterrato If you were hoping for a quiet, predictable transition stage…

If you want a perfect snapshot of modern cycling’s brutal economic reality, look no further than the frenzied fallout from this weekend’s Strade Bianche. Nineteen-year-old French prodigy Paul Seixas rode out of his skin to secure a stunning second place behind the inevitable Tadej Pogačar. Naturally, Pogačar’s team is already trying to buy him. According to reports swirling out of the Belgian press, Seixas has officially halted negotiations to update his current neo-pro contract with Decathlon CMA CGM. The pause is supposedly going to last until after the spring classics, which in agent-speak translates directly to a willingness to entertain…

Report Going into the opening stage of Paris-Nice, Jonathan Vaughters’ squad was staring down the barrel of a deeply uncomfortable statistic: they were one of only two men’s WorldTour teams without a single victory in 2026. That’s a lot of pressure to carry into the Race to the Sun. But on Sunday, 23-year-old American Luke Lamperti shattered that winless streak, taking the biggest victory of his career and snagging his first WorldTour yellow jersey in the process. Let’s be clear about how this happened. Yes, Lamperti had the legs to finish the job in Carrières-sous-Poissy, but this win belongs just…

Here at Cyclry, we have a well-documented affinity for a bunch of mad bastards. Today, that honor goes to a former BBC Breakfast anchor and an ultra-endurance legend who have decided that the best way to spend their March is freezing on oversized tires. That’s right: Louise Minchin and Mimi Anderson are teaming up for the inaugural Inuvik Weekend Warrior Fat Bike Race. Who? We mean. Uh. Whoa! Yeah, that one. It’s an endeavor, even if we don’t really know who they are. 300 Miles of Minus Forty The route is over 300 miles long. It takes place deep in…
