By @EchelonsHub In what is the final interview of this pre-season period I bring you a new face. Meet Filippo Agostinacchio, one of the riders of the uprising Italian generation on the cyclocross and mountain bike scene, a rider whom I’ve gotten to know before Val di Sole as, like some of the riders of this…
By @EchelonsHub As with any sport, cycling has a small section of fans who are into betting. Regardless of whether you’re with it or against it it’s a part of sport, and whilst the attention is mostly given to the risks – with good reason – and failures that come from it, I am exploring stories…
By @EchelonsHub Having signed his second 2-year contract at Movistar Johan Jacobs is slowly moving up the ranks in the peloton and is consistently solidifying his role in the Spanish team despite the multiple obstacles put in his way in his first experiences at the highest level.
By @EchelonsHub It’s the 1st of November of 2019. As every year, this is a date to mark on the calendar for cyclocross fans as the mythical Koppenbergcross is on the menu, one of the hardest and most iconic tracks in the circuit.
By David Hunter “If you told me at the start of 2020 that I would be second in Tour de Limousin, step up to the world tour and ride a classics campaign I would have laughed you out the room.”
By David Hunter Andreas Leknessund is a rider who already has a huge reputation, he is the best rider stepping up from under 23 level in 2021. Make no mistake, he is a rider who could potentially dominate the sport in years to come, he is that good. Team Sunweb/DSM spotted his talent early and secured…
By David Hunter David Dekker is a rider who already has a big reputation. His impressive performances in the junior and under 23 ranks caught the attention of many teams, and there was a fierce battle to secure his services when he turned pro. The battle was between some of the biggest squads in cycling, with…
By David Hunter Most will know the story of how Matteo Jorgenson ended up riding in Europe. He’s the American kid who personally contacted lots of European teams in the hope of landing a move, and through his own hard work and perseverance, he ended up landing a deal with AG2R’s feeder team in 2019. After…
By David Hunter 2020 was meant to be a transitional year for Thymen Arensman. The hugely talented youngster was due to spend the first half of the year riding in the under 23 category, before making his move to Team Sunweb in August. The Corona virus blew those plans apart, meaning he had to miss out…
By David Hunter Stage 5 of the 2017 Tour of California is when I first stumbled across Sepp Kuss. The stage ended with the climb of Mount Baldy, an absolute brut, and he managed to finish in 10th place. It’s no surprise that I wasn’t the only one to sit up and take note.
By David Hunter Alex Kirsch is a rider I’ve followed for a number of years. After fours year riding at pro-conti level, he made the step up to world tour in 2019, signing a three-year deal with Trek-Segafredo. In the last two years he’s made significant progress, quickly moving through the ranks and now is one…
By David Hunter It’s been six years since I first interviewed Tiesj Benoot. Since that point he’s gone on to become one of the best cyclists in the world, and I’ve become the best interviewer in the world;)
By David Hunter Sarah Gigante burst onto the cycling scene at the start of 2019, when she sensationally won the Aussie road race at the tender age of 19. Before that point, most outside of her native Australia hadn’t really heard of her, but all that changed one sunny day in Buninyong, where she defeated the…
By David Hunter “Knowing you could win each day is just so bloody exciting, no?!” Every so often you get a rider who enjoys a purple patch during a grand tour, when it seems inevitable that they’ll win stages. You know what I’m talking about, a breakaway rider who is so far ahead of the others…
By David Hunter Without doubt, Keegan Swirbul is one of the most interesting characters I’ve come across. His story is unique, almost unbelievable at times, and one that has many chapters still to write. A cyclist who has mainly ridden in America, he might need a little introducing to some. He hails from Colorado and started…
By David Hunter Come on without, come on within, you’ll not see nothing like the Mighty Quinn. Manfred Mann knew what he was talking about. You see, there’s a kid who’s just 19 years old, but he’s already had a season at world tour level and he’s ready for another. Quinn Simmons destroyed everyone in his…
By @pmpalermo Who was the last domestique standing at the Tour? Who was the last domestique standing at the Vuelta? Sepp Kuss. The American has firmly established himself as the best climbing domestique in professional cycling, but will he make the step forward to race leader in 2021?
By David Hunter I first interviewed Hugh Carthy back at the end of 2014, just as he was about to embark on his professional career. Over the course of the last six years, we’ve watched him grow as a cyclist, and I’ve been lucky enough to get to know the man behind the public persona. Readers…
