Report Tudor Pro Cycling experienced its first victory in its history, obtained through power, speed and dedication on the oldest race in the world. Sprinter Arvid de Kleijn won Milano – Torino, paying off many months of hard work in preparation and focus on sprinting, and confirming the team’s strong spirit.

Gonna be honest: we forgot about BKOOL. Between Zwift, Rouvy, and whatever Wahoo is calling their RGT subscription right now, the indoor virtual cycling market is pretty saturated. BKOOL does still exist though, and it’s “the official Giro d’Italia Virtual cycling simulator.” Remember that fact if you ever attend a cycling-themed pub quiz. BKOOL’s positioning is realism, with a wide variety of real-world routes available in video and 3D, plus virtual velodromes (this is very cool), and video spinning classes (this isn’t cool at all). Now it has a family plan, so it’s cheaper for you and your significant other/child/dog…

Pogacar said, “It was always…

Report Primoz Roglic has won Tirreno-Adriatico for the second time in his career. The 33-year-old Slovenian saw his leading position unchallenged in the flat seventh stage. With three stage wins and victory in the overall, mountain and points classification, Roglic enjoyed a successful return to the peloton. The peloton set off for a 154-kilometre final stage to and from San Benedetto del Trento. An eight-rider breakaway took a maximum four-minute lead, but was not able to hold off a steaming peloton in the closing kilometres. Jasper Philipsen again proved to be the fastest sprinter, while Roglic secured the overall victory.…
