Binche > Binche 204km One final chance to get your fix of cobbles before a long, dark winter. This is the 38th edition of the race, one that is usually won by a sprinter, even though it’s not always a sprint.

Privas > Guilherand-Granges 203km Just one week after the world championships road race comes the Euro version. The route is more than a nod to the Faun-Ardèche Classic and looks like a rematch between Pogačar and Evenepoel, with a side of Vingegaard. That’s right, you get the chance to see the rarely spotted one-day Dane,...

Mirandola > San Luca 199km Giro dell’Emilia, one of the most beautiful races on the calendar. Back in the day, it was normally raced by smaller teams, but in recent years it’s been full of the biggest names in cycling. This year, the Euros have stolen several of the top European talents, but the start...

Stromberg >Münster 194km One of the final opportunities for the sprinters in 2025. Philipsen, Kooij and Cavendish have won this race in previous years, two of those riders are back to see if they can win a second title. The route looks a little easier than previous years, with the same lap circuit which is...

Loriol-sur-Drôme > Étoile-sur-Rhône 24km ITT Coming straight the world championships comes the Euros, I’m not sure this is where it should sit in the calendar, but that’s not up to me. The riders are down in Valence, in the south-east of France, hopefully we’re in for a tight time trial.

Kigali > Kigali 271km The big one is here, the men’s road race in Kigali. Can Remco become the first man in history to do the ITT/RR double? Can Pogačar win consecutive road race titles and join the likes of Alaphilippe, Sagan and Bettini? Will we see a surprise winner?  Weather It looks like rain...

As the 2025 season draws to an end my mind starts wandering to next year. Previews will continue to be behind a paywall and the cost will be £60 for the full season, but £50 if you sign up before the end of the season, they do not auto renew. Thanks again for all the...

Mersch > Luxembourg City 176km The final stage of the race is the usual one in Luxembourg City. It ends with a very tricky lap circuit which has two challenging climbs, it’s usually a very exciting stage to watch.

Kigali > Kigali 40.7km ITT The world championship ITT is a long and demanding route this year. On paper, it looks like a fight between Evenepoel and Pogačar, but there’s a couple of Aussies who’ll hope to be in the mix to win the rainbow jersey. 

Brakel > Haacht 201km The Super 8 classic gives one last opportunity to see the Moskesstraat this year. The route remains similar to the last couple of editions, it’s all about the two laps of a circuit with features the Moskesstraat, Holstheide and Smeysberg, then we get to see if the attackers can hold off...
