Legnano > Legnano 178km Coppa Bernocchi is an interesting race, technically speaking, it’s not the hardest in the world but it can still be selective. 178km isn’t very long, 1974m of climbing isn’t that hilly, but it doesn’t always end in a sprint. In the last five editions, three of them have gone the way...

Ljubljana > Šenčur 197km After a disappointing performance last Sunday, Remco Evenepoel arrives with a point to prove. He came very close to winning this jersey back in 2021, but couldn’t shake a tenacious, Sonny Colbrelli on the final climb, Remco was also 2nd to Pogačar last year, will this year be his time?

Muar > Putrajaya 188km Stage 7 went the way of the break; it’s ended up being a very good race for the attackers. Day 8 and it’s the final stage, it should be a sprint finish, but I said that about stage 7.

Ferrara > Bologna 112km The women’s edition of the race is much easier than the men’s. Just 112km in length, featuring a lot of flat before two ascents of the San Luca climb, but it’s still a very selective finish. This year’s race clashes with the European Champs women’s road race, which has had an...

Borken > Münster 197km The 20th edition of the race, one that favours the sprinters. Just under 1200m of climbing, it’s a flat one and ends with a lap circuit in Münster.

Ferrara > Bologna 198km The 109th edition of this beautiful, old race. The San Luca climb has long captured my heart, it really is a thing of beauty. As usual, the start town of the race is different to the previous year, which effects the approach to the lap circuit in Bologna, which can have an...

Melaka > Batu Pahat 160km Riley Pickrell got his win in stage 6, well deserved if you ask me. Stage 7 should be another for the sprinters, I just can’t see a break upsetting the sprint teams, but Unibet should be looking to try and get in the move as their sprinter is now out...

Ljubljana > Šenčur 130km After the fun of last weekend’s World Championships, the show rolls into Slovenia for the European Championships. Unfortunately, the women’s road race is held on the same day as Giro dell’Emilia, but it is what it is. Demi Vollering is the defending champion, fingers crossed she doesn’t win the Euros as...

Pandan Indah > Rembau 121km Just like on Wednesday, stage 5 went the way of the breakaway with Nicolas Breuillard taking the win from Josh Burnett. Race leader, Lennart Jasch, finished in 3rd place and all but sealed the GC win. There’s now has three consecutive sprint stages to finish the race off.

Tapah > Genting Highlands 125km Day 4 went the way of the breakaway with Petr Rikunov continuing his excellent season. Stage 5 is another mountaintop finish, but this time it’s a much harder.
