By @EchelonsHub It was a day for the breakaway as expected and our pick Brandon McNulty also performed as expected. It was an easy win, after getting himself in the escapee group early in the day, Jumbo-Visma let the group go, and McNulty attacked at the base of the Col de la Mure to get a…

By @EchelonsHub Jumbo – Visma have had no mercy once again as they took an incredible one-two-three swarm at Paris-Nice. Today’s TT made meaningful differences for the GC and the Dutch team again thrived, taking the win with Wout van Aert, as Primoz Roglic and Rohan Dennis filled the podium.  

By @EchelonsHub It was a day for a bunch sprint however we have had more fireworks than expected. An attack by Pogacar over the intermediate sprint caused some riders like Alaphilippe, Soler and Hart to move across and put the peloton under stress. Everything came back together though and the bunch sprint became a reality, with…

By @EchelonsHub The opening road stage of the Tirreno-Adriatico was one for the sprinters as expected, although the hilly profile ner the end saw some attacks flying off, with Marc Soler trying to surprise, getting a healthy gap that was only brought back with 3 kilometers to go. A very narrow and twisty finish took place,…

By @EchelonsHub It was not an easy day at Paris-Nice today, although the wind gave truce to the peloton, the final hilly section proved too difficult for some sprinters as it was a slightly reduced peloton heading towards the non-technical, slightly uphill finale. Race leader Christophe Laporte crashed at the end, but remained in yellow, but…

By @EchelonsHub As expected Filippo Ganna took responsibility of the initial time-trial at Tirreno-Adriatico and won the opening stage. With a pan-flat straightforward course it would be hard to beat him, he took 11 seconds on Evenepoel and 18 on Pogacar who completed the podium.

By @EchelonsHub As expected the second day of the race saw a lot of crosswind action that kicked off right at the start of the day. Many times splits came in the peloton, but a surprisingly big group managed to survive off the front for the battle for the win, where despite the best efforts of…

By @EchelonsHub It would not sound real if someone had told everyone before today, the opening stage of Paris-Nice has been won by Christophe Laporte after Jumbo-Visma played with the competition and took a 1-2-3 in Mantes-la-Ville, after attacking on the final climb of the day and setting off on their own. Laporte, van Aert and…

By @EchelonsHub The Route Unlike it’s traditional format, Tirreno-Adriatico this year has it’s individual time-trial at the start of the race, which is set to open up some interesting gaps right away and put some order in the peloton before the tougher stages.

By @EchelonsHub At the same time Paris-Nice is on the road, in Italy we have got the equally exciting and prestigious Tirreno-Adriatico, used by classics riders to prime their form, but for the stage-racers and sprinters to achieve great success In the mix of stages available.

By @EchelonsHub The Route The race opens up with a very open stage, as has been the case in a few of the last years where a sprint is expected however with several bumps in the road that may change the outcome of the finale.  

By @EchelonsHub The Race to the Sun is to take place this week, one of the main World Tour stage-races which will traverse France from north to south which always lures in some of the main sprinters, climbers and classics riders who are looking to build on their form. 

By @EchelonsHub The World Tour calendar moves forward with Strade Bianche coming this weekend, one of the most unique races in the calendar that deliver a lot of show every single year.
